It's really impossible to know at this point. All "signs" point to this being a massive sting. A RICO case, which, if anyone remembers the scene from Batman: The Dark Knight -- where Dent fills the courtroom with every single gang member and they all plead not guilty at once -- can take FOREVER to prosecute. More than likely the guilty will plea out, accept jail time or pay fines...
...OR they will all turn on each other. And if that happens, it's anyone guess who makes it out alive.
What people seem to forget here ... IF this turns out to be a sweeping arrest of high-ranking officials...or if Treason charges are levied against the people we suspect, this country is facing a MAJOR CONSTITUTIONAL UPHEAVAL. We're not talking about adding amendments here. If everyone suspected is actually indicted/arrested, this country will have another revolution.
A much needed one, perhaps, but it's not going to be pretty.
So for all the people PRAYING justice is served -- while I agree with you it should -- it's not going to be clean or easy. That's why this is taking so long. It has to be done right the first time, or it will plunge us all into a world undone.

What good are the indictments if no arrests are being made?

What do you think will happen? They fizzle out or just grow in number forever? Or maybe they'll be actioned at a later date?
