I think that's normal in some indictments, plea deals, etc. The prosecution
doesn't want to formally disclose more than necessary because they are still
working on the investigation. It's been in many of these plea dealing,
with people only called one, two, three, etc.
Note the timing of this latest plea, lying about the Trump tower Moscow
dealings. It came just after Trump submitted his written answers to
Mueller. You can bet that on that list are questions about the Trump tower
deal. During the campaign Trump denied having any business dealings with
Russia, except for selling one house to a Russian years ago and hosting
his beauty contest there once. What did he say in the answers to Mueller,
which were under oath? It's going to be hard to say that he can't remember,
when that dealing was either still going on or had just ended, while Trump
was running around in 2016 denying any dealing. If Trump didn't tell the
truth, Mueller has him on a lying charge.
