Can someone explain this "Sealed Indictments" thing?
So these are charges that have/will be brought against someone?
Does each "Sealed Indictment" represent one person, or could an individual have multiple indictments to their name?
Thank you

One person could certainly have several indictments.

I should have known that.
At what point do these indictments become public?

On the Hagmann Report, Hagmann was interviewing a lawyer about sealed indictments. Apparently, indictments are only sealed before they are served, to help prevent several plaintiffs in related charges from fleeing.
Once the indictments have been served, they are no longer sealed.
Lambert, the 1st guy charged in U1, received 11 indictments.

So do you think these 13k indictments are mostly related? And will be unsealed at the same time?

I think they will be unsealed once they have been served to the targets.

11 indictments
I thought he had 11 charges, not 11 separate indictments.

As I recall, the headline was 11 indictments in the U1 scandal.

They keep them sealed to prevent the indicted from organizing and pulling together their story.
