Interesting. The govt may also file a superseding indictment to add additional charges against the current named defendants, e.g. if the USAO has new evidence of additional misconduct and wants to add additional pressure on a defendant to take a plea and testify, then the USAO may file a superseding indictment.
Hopefully this all comes to a crescendo during the midterms when Democrats are campaigning as being the party that restored good government, decency and ethics
Tonia Carr, chair of St. Sabina’s cabinet, explained Sunday why the church will be withholding roughly $100,000 in monthly assessments to the Archdiocese of Chicago.

DCFS: No evidence to support allegations of Pfleger abusing 2 teen brothers decades ago
By AP reporter
CHICAGO - There is no evidence to support allegations accusing the Rev. Michael Pfleger of
abusing two brothers in their early teens decades ago, but this doesn’t mean the claims are untrue, Illinois’ child protection agency said in a letter to the Chicago priest Friday.
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services won’t list Pfleger as a perpetrator of child abuse on the State Central Register because the agency found no credible evidence of child abuse or neglect, according to the letter that the priest released to the media.
