So no Indictments today by Mueller

[brettdale]

A very very very dumb question.

"People say that Indictments are normally dropped friday, am I
right in thinking though, they can be dropped any day of the week???

1. Like any soap opera

the cliffhanger gets revealed on Monday.

3. The Grand Jury met today, indictments may be under seal

In Manafort's case, they indicted on a Friday and unsealed on Monday. But they warned him to be ready Monday morning and apparently his lawyer leaked that information. So it's possible that there were indictments to be unsealed soon.

However, DOJ policy mostly doesn't allow for keeping indictments sealed for a long time, so if we don't hear anything by early next week(Monday is a federal holiday), then probably nothing happened today.

10. You beat me to it. I remember the excitement over the weekend before the Manafort/Gates arrests.

4. Does that include Saturdays, Sundays and holidays?

If it does, this will be a very long Veteran's Day weekend.

5. Any day...Friday as an indictment day is informal/loosely based on irregular historical precedence.

[Ilsa]

6. It makes me wonder if Mueller is

holding the indictments over their heads. Like he's playing a waiting game, waiting for trump to cross the line and reveal his treason and psychopathy.

7. so it was sealed???

Its not a case of the media saying "Sealed documents" were delivered today.

The media arent allowed to say anything, until its unsealed??

And it can be unsealed any day of the week, even on public holidays.

9. The media can report anything they hear -- but their SOURCES aren't supposed to leak anything

when a case is sealed.

11. Just.speculating, they don't tell the media there are sealed indictments

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

8. It seems to me as though every single Friday

for most of this year we've been told indictments are coming down.

[marylandblue]

12. In this case, Don Jr. fueled speculation

By telling friends he could be indicted this week. But that could just be BS.

13. Let two scoops twist in the wind a bit longer

14. I'm hoping not, but we could be sitting here every Friday for 6 months or more, and end up

with Fitzmas.
