The Special Counsel's investigation led to the indictment of 34 individuals and business and the guilty pleas or convictions and sentences of 12-so far. These include the president's top two campaign aides, his long time personal lawyer and a long time political adviser. Many cases are pending, including Manafort's Russian handler, and a Russian company and many of its employees. The Russian government is blocking the subpoenas for these people. Logical, non-partisan analyses would suggest that finding widespread corruption in the president's campaign and among his top advisers is not a waste of money.
