It was a guarantee that they would indict somebody for tax evasion. Anyone who files a schedule A could be indicted for tax evasion. Tim Geithner deducted summer camps for his kids.

I also look at the time frame. We have indictments within six months after the investigation began and a week after the WSJ and many other conservative publicans were calling on Mueller to resign or recuse himself. It took Starr years to find something on Bill Clinton but to get there he had to go back to court numerous times to expand his investigation. If they investigate anyone on the planet for six years they're bound to find something, but it wasn't anything major (a blow job).

This is major and it's odd that Mueller used the Grand Jury in DC since he knows Trump said he'd pardon people. He could have found laws that were not federal crimes so Trump couldn't pardon, but this is a "in your face" sort of indictment. It looks like Mueller wants a pardon that he'll then use to show that Trump abuses the powers of the presidency to obstruct justice, but that's supposition.
