Will the indictments be unsealed after the arrests?

[MineralMan]

Will they be made public?

I don't know how that works.

1. As a general rule, yes

they must be worried this person will flee the country.

2. Thanks. It will be interesting.

I wonder if anyone's going to get out of the country this weekend to avoid possible arrest.

7. I heard 45* is making an unscheduled trip to Cayman Islands

3. Kind of hard to keep secret after you drag someone off in handcuffs..

Seriously, arresting somebody in secret is authoritarian style tactics, which I don't think we're quite to yet. Hard to imagine some top secret arraignment and incarceration of a US citizen.

5. It's not the arrests that would be secret, but the documents

filed with the court.

8. The question is really whether the content of the indictment

documents will be made public. That's what I'm unclear about.

4. Depends on what's in the indictments.

There may be unindicted co-conspirators, or other pending investigations mentioned.

6. If theres an unindicted co-conspirator who sounds a lot like Trump...

....things get dialed up to eleven.

9. Did leaked info say there will be arrests soon? Because, IIRC, indictments can remain in

place, sealed, for quite some time?

And if the sealed indictment is intended to sway witnesses and targets to become more cooperative, there could be time allowed after the indictment for attorneys to start talking to one another in negotiations.
