(171 posts)Unfortunately I doubt this is true. She has been saying this for a year and there has been zero corroboration about an existing trump indictment from any other even remotely credible sources. She definitely has major credibility issues; although, we are likely to hear more about Trump money laundering at some point just going by publicly available information.

(22,020 posts)Anyway there's this:
" 4) Sealed Indictment. The magistrate judge to whom an indictment is returned may direct that the indictment be kept secret until the defendant is in custody or has been released pending trial. The clerk must then seal the indictment, and no person may disclose the indictment's existence except as necessary to issue or execute a warrant or summons."
from https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_6
Note that is says "no person may disclose the Indictment's existence..."
so how could it be filed as you are suggesting?

(4,026 posts)but perhaps you take another look at patribotics blog for the past year and see how much she has reported is coming to fruition. She has multiple IC sources...

(6,568 posts)She has no sources. She lies. Over and over and over.
She was right once, 2 years ago.

(19,970 posts)Firstly, Mueller would have had Trump's tax returns from early on in his investigation, Deutsche Bank records and other fact based evidence.
Secondly, he similarly had Manafort filleted based on money laundering charges.
Mueller would have access to all the evidence he would have needed to have a Grand Jury indictment on Trump.
