If there’s no way to extradite the Russians to stand trial, why bother indicting them in the first place?

Mueller has to pretend he has accomplished something.

So they can say their investigation was “successful and not a waste of money”.

Frankly, the incredible good news here is that this is apparently the worst they have.

For me, it’s the equivalent of saying they discovered that the cab driver that drove Flynn to his interview with the FBI has an unpaid parking ticket. i.e. the only reason they are reporting this huge NOTHING burger is that it is all they have, and any reasonable person thinks they should be embarrassed for even indicting them.
