Sealed proceedings - care to enlighten us more? First time I've heard it called that, what's the differences?

I honestly can't speak to the validity of the claim, either way, so take it with a grain of salt. It did make sense to me, though.

I remember reading a thread a few months ago (wish I could tell you exactly where, maybe abovesecret.com) in which there was a pretty good discussion about the whole "sealed indictments" topic.

Acording to a couple of the posters, who both were much more knowledgable of that particular database than I am, those numbers represent proceedings.

That said, if I understand correctly, you could actually end up having more than one indictment per proceeding but any given proceeding could also have zero indictments. Also, can't say I was ever able to determine if the total number is an anomaly, as far as sealed proceedings go.

So, if true, not really a "debunking", necessarily. Just a little shift in understanding of the data we're looking at.

If it is, in fact, accurate, I think it needs to be understood and spread so we aren't misstating facts.
