Barbara McQuade, prosecutor, just told Rachel that it IS POSSIBLE that Manafort

has already been indicted, that sometimes indictments are kept under seal till the moment is right.

Rachel phrased the question as if she expected a "no" answer -- and seemed surprised when McQuade said YES, it is possible.

This means that it is also possible that Michael Flynn has already been indicted . . . .

This all might go faster than we've been thinking.

1. Sure it is possible. Indictments are otfen sealed to protect ongoing investigations...

or to prevent alerting a suspect before they can be located for arrest.

For example:

The identities of the remaining at-large defendants shall remain under seal until they are apprehended by authorities.
