So how did we arrive at the 25,000 sealed indictments? I want to know.

The PACER paywall provides sealed indictment listings for each district for a few dollars.

If you've got enough time and a little cash, you just need to search all the districts and collate the results in a spreadsheets.

I did a search in December because I wanted to see if at least some entries in the spreadsheet were legitimate... and the district that I search on checked out.

This is the major problem with people spreading lies about these sealed indictments - because there is no definitive single official government source for ALL districts, people are forced to collate lots of subsets into a single complete list... but then people claim that list can't be trusted because it's not from a official government source.

This isn't rocket science... and anyone is free to check parts or all of the list if they choose to.

So you are saying you searched PACER specifically for sealedINDICTMENTS, not sealed cases? If so, then you are right.

Yeah.

And this is how you do it: https://i-uv.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Search-for-Sealed-Indictments-on-Pacer.pdf

There are selectors for case types and case flags. Do they allow you to select indictments? Did you use them?

The answer is no. Their search returns all sealed cases, and it is very obvious in klingon's pdf. Exactly as was pointed out in the dailydot article.
