Russia will, of course, not extradite any of the 13 who are citizens. I think this is simply a strong signal being sent to the folks involved on our end by the special counsel.

Note the wording of part of the idictment: "Some Defendants, posing as U.S. persons and without revealing their Russian association, communicated with unwitting individuals associated with the Trump Campaign."

Unwitting is a clear signal to folks like Kushner, Manafort, and Jr., that Mueller knows a ton, but is giving them some breathing room for now so they'll opt for a plea deal.

He's giving them some rope. Pretty sure none of them will be willing to hang themselves on "The Donald's" behalf.
