5. Well, who are "they" in this case? Don't you suppose Fitz would

manage to at least 'mention' it? Oh, you mean not release the -contents- of the indictment? That might be a different kettle of fish, but once it's existence is known (if and when it comes into being) I can't conceive of the court in question aiding a coverup. Interesting question though...

7. they...

by "they" I mean, that the administration just keeps him on staff, and refuses to answer any questions about the "ongoing investigation".

I guess the trial would have to be public, but until the actual trial starts, it seems they could keep hiding.
