“DC docket shows dozens of sealed criminal indictments. Are they from Mueller?”
Monday, November 19th, 2018
More than three dozen sealed criminal indictments have been added to the federal court docket in Washington, D.C. since the start of 2018.
Sealed criminal court files are assigned a case number, but do not indicate the identity of the parties or the nature of the charges, so it is impossible for the public to discern what those sealed cases contain.
But several legal experts told ABC News the number of sealed cases awaiting action right now is unusual. Fourteen were added to the docket since late August alone, a review by ABC News has found, just as the midterm elections were drawing near and longstanding Justice Department policy precluded prosecutors from taking any public action that could appear to be aimed at influencing political outcomes.
And the inadvertent discovery on Thursday night of what appear to be secret charges pending against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has drawn fresh attention to the mystery. Legal experts told ABC News that the sealed cases could be tied to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and possibly part of a quiet effort to protect his investigation from any premature effort to shut it down.
“I assume that Mueller knew that once the election was over, there could be an existential threat to his investigation,” said Matthew Miller, a former senior Justice official under former Attorney General Eric Holder. “He knew the best thing to do was act before that.”
A spokesperson for the special counsel’s office declined to comment on the investigation or the uptick in sealed indictments. ... moar..

Devin Nunes cites ‘important’ report ahead of Christopher Steele deposition release
“Sara Carter once reported that there are secret books involved here. Ive further extrapolated that to consider that there are records that the DS has access too and others (i.e. MIL / White Hats) the DS does *NOT*.”
I forgot she said that!!! We cheered!
And a ‘deposition’.. you take that before charges are files, yes????

Whitaker to meet with House Committee privately on Wednesday
Former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker will meet with the House Judiciary Committee privately on Wednesday after Democrats demanded he provide more answers about his interactions with President Trump and other issues following his explosive appearance on Capitol Hill last month.
A Democratic aide confirmed to The Hill that Whitaker would return to meet with the committee behind closed doors on Wednesday, but noted that his return appearance would be a meeting and not a deposition or a transcribed interview.
