I'm aware that some things have been released with information redacted, but actual sealed documents or indictments? Are there some kind of records of filings that list "sealed document " or "sealed indictment"? How long to such things stay sealed? Or can they stay sealed forever? In which case, why would such things be filed in the first place?

I'm beginning to think those things are simply wishful thinking.

BUT my question is, (IF THERE ARE) sealed indictments or documents, would BARR or tRUMP see them from Muellers report when released?

Like much of this investigation. Indictments can be sealed if there is a reason. One reason can be the target is under undercover surveillance and more information can be obtained before the indictment is unsealed. Another reason is when the target is out of the country but may return in a reasonable time. Courts do not like sealed indictments and will not allow them to be sealed indefinitely. Barr would have full knowledge of any indictments, sealed or not. It is fantasy to suggest he wouldn't.

So we haven't a clue if there are sealed indictments, is that right? Just that a lot of people are wishing for them.
