Yes, that might happen. Taking that position to its logical conclusion, nobody should be indicted for anything.

There are serious problems with the US justice system. As far as I can tell, there is nothing at face value that's unreasonable about this indictment.

I'm never entirely sure what people mean by "taking something to its logical conclusion", but if you mean something like "giving that consideration the greatest possible weight" I think where you end up is "end all reductions in sentence for pleading guilty", not "nobody should be indicted for anything".
