That sentence, in plain words

Deals count. That takes in a deal not to charge and a deal to plead guilty. Sealed deals count too. Notes from inside the Justice Department count. That takes in emails and memos about whether to charge.

What this is about

Lawyers for the government can agree not to bring a case. They write those deals down. They also write notes while they talk it over. Both kinds of paper are covered.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
