So if Mueller really has indictments ready to go,

why haven't they been unsealed? The election is over, right? Yeah, there are a couple of important recounts happening, but none of them will turn the Senate blue.

Could it be that Mueller has done all he's going to do? Other than perhaps filing a report with Congress?

I don't know if this is a long time consuming process or not but it seems like all the indictments from Mueller are over. Looks like no Trumpanzees will be receiving indictments. That wasn't Mueller's goal anyway. The indictments were to force people to reveal information.

Once the report is done I assume it will be submitted to Congress but I've read that Trump's new stooge has the power to lock it away, preventing anyone, even Congress, from seeing it.

If this is the case it will probably be up to the House to start the investigation all over again without the Mueller results available to back them up.

We'll be worse off than ever.

Way back towards the beginning of Mueller's investigation I believe it was Jeffrey Toobin, speaking on Fresh Air (the Terry Gross NPR show) said that the likeliest outcome of it would be a report filed in Congress. Which would probably die there. He's looking more and more prescient all the time.
