I think you have a misunderstanding of the system.

Sealed indictments are not new. All indictments are sealed after the Grand Jury returns a True Bill. Indictments must be unsealed before an arrest warrant is issued.

While the indictments haven’t yet been unsealed, Trump also hasn’t been arrested, nor has an arrest warrant been issued.

Finally, an arraignment (the first Court appearance where you are formally notified of the charges) will never happen with a sealed indictment.

The 6A protects you from being tried on secret charges.

However, when being arrested the police *are not* required to notify you for the reason for your arrest.

So, nothing novel is happening in this instance related to the sealed indictment. The thing that’s unusual here is the case is so high profile we know about it after the Grand Jury returned an indictment but before it was unsealed.

Oh no, I may possibly be arrested on nebulous charges regarding campaign finance laws(after pilfering classified documents, naturally, and calling election officials saying that I need a certain number of votes). And your advice is to have weapons when legitimate authorities come knocking. Somehow I think you may be overly paranoid about the possibility of this happening. It's certainly not something I lose sleep over at night. And I definitely won't be using force against them; we have a functional court system to provide an extra check against excesses like you presume to exist. For the record, I'm aware that the system isn't perfect by any means, but it's also nowhere as bad as you surmise.

He has a chance to voluntarily surrender, get processed and go home immediately. Much unlike many suspects/defendants, actually. He will get his charges read.

Even if this results in a prison sentence, that prison sentence wouldn't be served in prison, more likely he'll get some home detention, because of the practicalities of secret service protection and what not. Maybe they restrict his TV access and tee times.

So yes, Trump gets treated extremely unfairly in the justice system.

Liberal democracies prosecute former leaders for crimes all the time. And civilised countries don’t need their citizens to be armed.
