Who will be arrested before 2027?

Ed Martin and Bill Pulte face federal grand jury investigations. Both individuals are currently subjects of active federal grand jury investigations by the Department of Justice, which involve alleged misconduct and improper leaking of grand jury materials ^{[^]}. These probes specifically relate to investigations of critics of the former President and the Adam Schiff criminal probe ^{[^]}. Martin and Pulte are part of broader Department of Justice and FBI inquiries into top administration officials concerning investigations of the president's adversaries ^{[^]}. A Justice Department review found that Ed Martin improperly leaked grand jury material in a probe targeting the president's foes, resulting in his removal from a 'Weaponization Unit' ^{[^]}. Additionally, a federal grand jury is actively investigating the handling of the Adam Schiff criminal probe, which was reportedly led by Ed Martin and Bill Pulte ^{[^]}.

John Brennan is also under active federal grand jury investigation. He is the subject of an active grand jury investigation by the Department of Justice ^{[^]}. Witnesses have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury in Washington D.C. in connection with this ongoing investigation involving Brennan ^{[^]}.

Most federal felonies, including specific statutes, carry a five-year limitation. The standard federal statute of limitations for felonies, encompassing charges such as gathering, transmitting, or losing defense information (18 U.S.C. § 793) and making false statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001), is five years from the date the alleged offense was committed ^{[^]}. For Hillary Clinton, publicly alleged offenses primarily relate to her tenure as Secretary of State (2009-2013) and the subsequent FBI investigation, which concluded in July 2016 ^{[^]}. The five-year statute of limitations for these allegations would have therefore expired by July 2021 at the latest. Similarly, for James Comey, allegations following his 2017 dismissal would have reached their expiration by late 2022 ^{[^]}. John Brennan's alleged conduct during his term as CIA Director (2013-2017) would have seen the statute of limitations expire by January 2022. Consequently, for Clinton, Comey, and Brennan, the statutes of limitations for the most serious publicly alleged offenses under these federal laws had all expired prior to January 1, 2027.

Anthony Fauci's alleged offenses from 2022 may extend past January 2027. In contrast, for Anthony Fauci, publicly alleged offenses are primarily connected to his involvement in the COVID-19 pandemic response, with claims spanning 2020, 2021, and 2022. The five-year statute of limitations for alleged offenses in 2020 would expire in 2025. Similarly, alleged offenses from 2021 would reach their five-year limit in 2026. Both of these expiration dates occur before January 1, 2027. However, any alleged offenses occurring in 2022 would have their five-year statute of limitations extend into 2027, meaning they would not expire prior to January 1, 2027.

Pam Bondi has articulated a strong prosecutorial focus on specific individuals. As a potential appointee for Attorney General in a prospective second Trump administration, Bondi has explicitly vowed to prosecute "bad" prosecutors who indicted former President Trump ^{[^]}. Nominated by President-elect Donald J. Trump for Attorney General ^{[^]} and identified as a "Project 2025 lawyer" by some sources ^{[^]}, she would not rule out probes into "Trump foes" if confirmed ^{[^]}. This indicates a specific focus on individuals perceived as political opponents or those involved in legal actions against the former president ^{[^]}.

Other potential appointees lack documented specific prosecutorial statements. While individuals such as Todd Blanche ^{[^]} and Harmeet Dhillon ^{[^]} are associated with Project 2025 or mentioned as potential candidates, the research does not detail similar specific public statements from them regarding prosecutorial intentions. The available information for these individuals primarily covers general legal or political involvement ^{[^]}, ^{[^]}. Additionally, no individuals from a potential second Biden term's shortlist were referenced in the provided research.

Donald Trump faces the highest state-level criminal indictment exposure. He has already been indicted and convicted in a New York state criminal prosecution. A New York grand jury indicted Trump in March 2023 on charges related to falsifying business records concerning "hush money" payments ^{[^]}. His trial commenced in April 2024, culminating in his conviction on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records on May 30, 2024 ^{[^]}. This ongoing prosecution, known as People v Donald J. Trump, represents a direct state-level criminal proceeding ^{[^]}.

California's Attorney General initiated an aggressive action against Sheriff Bianco. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is currently subject to a significant state-level action by the California Attorney General's Office. The Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Bianco, alleging he overstepped his authority by launching an investigation into the 2025 general election and seizing ballots ^{[^]}. The California Supreme Court has since ordered Bianco to pause his probe and preserve the seized ballots ^{[^]}. While this is a fast-tracked action by a state-level prosecutor ^{[^]}, publicly reported information describes it as a lawsuit challenging his authority rather than a criminal probe specifically targeting Bianco for personal indictment ^{[^]}.

A target letter signifies a critical phase in a federal investigation. The receipt of a federal target letter by a high-profile individual's legal team marks a critical juncture in a federal investigation ^{[^]}, ^{[^]}. The timeframe between receiving such a letter and a subsequent indictment or a negotiated resolution is highly variable, spanning from a few weeks to several months, and potentially exceeding a year in particularly complex cases ^{[^]}, ^{[^]}. Upon receiving this letter, which designates an individual as a subject of a grand jury investigation, defense counsel typically initiates discussions with the prosecution to ascertain the allegations, present mitigating evidence, or explore resolutions like plea agreements, with the goal of preventing an indictment ^{[^]}, ^{[^]}.

Indictment follows grand jury evaluation, often leading to self-surrender. Should an indictment proceed, a grand jury reviews the evidence presented by the prosecution ^{[^]}. The typical duration from the issuance of a target letter to an indictment is usually 1 to 3 months, although this timeline can fluctuate considerably based on the complexity of the case, the volume of evidence, and the extent of pre-indictment negotiations ^{[^]}, ^{[^]}. After an indictment, a negotiated self-surrender is a common procedural step, especially for high-profile individuals. This arrangement facilitates a discreet arrest process rather than a public one, wherein the individual agrees through their attorney to appear for processing and release on pre-arranged bail terms ^{[^]}.

Evidence of target letters for specific individuals is currently unavailable. Regarding information about federal target letters issued to particular high-profile individuals from the prediction market context, existing web research does not contain specific confirmation of their issuance to anyone on the provided list ^{[^]}, ^{[^]}, ^{[^]}, ^{[^]}, ^{[^]}, ^{[^]}. While Eric Swalwell was associated with allegations concerning mortgage fraud in November 2025 and April 2026, the available sources do not explicitly state that he formally received a federal target letter ^{[^]}, ^{[^]}.
