That’s…not proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Heck, its probably not even probable cause of any crime.

> There is plenty of evidence here to get started on a charge

There is evidence enough to open investigations, sure. Law enforcement agencies don’t generally announce that.

Whether there is evidence to do more than that is…speculation.

There's enough evidence to start writing subpoenas, which is really how this process works. They don't generally start with enough evidence to convict, they start with enough to compel people to give them more.

Even were I to agree that that is true, the empaneling of a grand jury and the issuing of subpoenas is done secretly. We only know of the criminal grand jury that is empaneled for Trump in D. C. because Trump’s extremely irregular legal challenge over the docs seized at Mar-a-lago revealed it.
