Lmao. I unironically love how our big dumb president is exposing the utterly pointless, incoherent, capricious nature of the US empire.

None, they were just speculated to be related to Mueller's work. I mean I guess they could still be? But I imagine they'd have worded that statement differently if that was the case.

There are still ongoing investigations in the SDNY and others. Financial crimes were outside Mueller's scope, so lots more might come of this.

I'm trying not to be overly optimistic. The investigation into the inauguration could produce several indictments all by itself.

To be honest while it makes great sense i have never heard of things being shipped to boneyards to be repaired. They normally get sent and stripped for parts or just parked out in the desert for years.

It's not an ordinary way to do required maintenance on aircraft but this isn't an ordinary situation. Since there's no clear timetable for when, if ever, the MAX will be usable again, the sensible thing is to park them in a place where planes go for long-term storage and hope Boeing fixes things sooner than later.

I think people are just relishing an airplane company taking it in the teeth for once. Realistically: Victorville is a logistics airport with plenty of normal operations in addition to its boneyard; conveniently Southwest already has a fleet of retired 737s there that will be available for parts if necessary; there's no way airlines will be scrapping a bunch of brand-new aircraft for what amounts to an I/O software problem.

The only reason they might is if this media storm gets out of hand and people en mass won't book the plane out of fear. I dont really see that happening here though.
