is known as an "indictment" or otherwise known as "being charged with a crime."

If the government has not sought an indictment or otherwise filed charges, they have not 'formally accused' the person of committing a crime.

It is virtually impossible at this point to overstate the threat posed by the Obama DOJ to press freedoms.

Yet Greenwald manages to overstate it on a weekly basis. Quite a talent, that fellow.
