the phrase "sealed indictments" makes me uneasy.

Might they stay sealed forever? Are indictments necessarily the precursor to arrest?

I keep on flashing back to "unindicted co-conspirator" in Watergate. Those of you who do not know what that refers to, look it up. You'll learn a lot.

Which leads to: I'm concerned that this President may wind up as an "unindicted co-conspirator" and likewise escape all punishment.
