Mueller's special counsel indicts 13 Russians for tampering in the 2016 US election.
From the indictment: Quote:
Michael Flynn: deal made Richard Pinedo: deal made George Papadopoulos: deal made Rick Gates: deal in the works Paul Manafort: about to be charged with contempt. Plea deal to follow. Jared Kushner: TBD Donald Trump Jr.: TBD

And in reality, what's likely to happen? I'm not being facetious; I actually want to know if this means anything or if it's another non-event that Trump and his acolytes will sweep under the carpet of the White House?

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is great at doing a bunch of worthless bull**** that adds up to nothing.
If this were a murder investigation it would go like this: They found the victim shot They identified the gun The identified the owner of the gun They found gunshot residue of the suspects hands The suspect was found urinating on the grave of the victim The suspect posts video footage of the victim dying on Facebook Investigator interviews suspects mother Investigator arrests someone who met the suspect three years ago Media celebrates

What did you expect to come of it?

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.

My guess is that Trump was the (or one of) unwitting one(s) given that he really isn't that smart.

I expected Trump to be arrested when he admitted he broke the law by obstructing justice when he confessed on national TV that’s exactly why he fired Comey. That’s the ****ing starting point. You arrest the confessed criminal and go from there. You don’t spend months and months investigating **** that’s less serious than what the mother****er already confessed to.

There's actually a reason for that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_doubt
Have you ever heard of Al Capone?

When trying to take down a sitting US President you better go slow and be 1000% sure what you have is going to be bulletproof.
Watergate break-in happened on June 17, 1972. Nixon stepped down on August 9, 1974. That's 26 months. Mueller's investigation is only 9 months old.
