COOPER: "Jeff Toobin, what's your take on this from a legal standpoint?"
TOOBIN: "Well it's a peculiar situation because indictments are rarely announced without knowing who the defendant is and what the charges are. But it is certainly a major landmark in the course of this investigation. The other point to make -- Two points, one in white collar investigations, usually the first indictments are against individuals that you hope will plead guilty and cooperate with others. You don't indict the big fish first, you indict the smaller fishes in hope of getting the big fish. And the other point to make, these white collar cases take a long time. It's very unlikely this case will get to trial before six months to a year. So, if anybody thinks the Mueller investigation is going to be wrapping up in the next couple of months, this decision today pretty much guarantees that Mueller office will be up and running well into 2018, if not through the whole year and beyond."
