Ok thanks, I was trying to look into it because my Dad brought it up. I told him I didn't think it mattered because this is likely to take place in military tribunal
Yes and no. The statute is met if the indictment is returned within the applicable time frame. When the indictment becomes public or unsealed is not relevant. So it's not really a "bypass" if that makes any sense. The charging indictment is what needs to happen before the statute of limitations runs.
Is this how they can bypass the statute of limitations?
Many of the crimes involve NO statute of limitations..i.e. murder/genocide, etc.
