There is no secret indictment. We know exactly what the allegations are because that information is public.

Regardless of that the Secretary of State is not providing direct input into the prosecution of an individual.

That is not how FISA courts work. God damnit, the DOJ admired it themselves and you still won't believe. Can you spell cognitive dissonance and blind faith?

THE INTEGRAL AND LONG-STANDING USE OF SECRET INDICTMENTS IN UNITED STATES LAW

Regardless of the results that the practice of secretly indicting war criminals may have on future peace talks, it remains a fact that United States law allows indictments to be kept secret. Courts throughout the United States frequently seal indictments. Secrecy is one of the major characteristics of grand jury proceedings from which indictments arise and one that has withstood the test of time. Federal grand jury deliberations and hearings are conducted in secrecy. According to Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure for the United States District Courts,
