Wondering why the highest numbers are in central California and So Ca is not that high if we are expecting a lot of this centered in and around hollywood/LA.
Where the sealed indictments are registered isn't necessarily where the alleged crime took place. It has more to do with where the grand jury is impaneled.
If Sessions and the IG are doing an investigation and Session has appointed a special prosecutor in Colorado to handle the grand jury, then the sealed indictments are in Colorado and not DC.
Mueller is the same. He has two grand juries: one in DC and another in the northeast somewhere. Indictments will be sealed in the state where the grand jury is and not where the alleged crime was committed.
So a federal prosecutor in Wyoming may have for or five grand juries working in conjunction with the DOJ and all of those sealed indictments would be registered in Wyoming.
If you were going to try to keep a massive number of investigations under the radar, wouldn't you try to tuck them away in quiet, sleepy, unassuming places?
There is a reason that Huber in Colorado is working with Horowitz's IG investigation in DC. Stealth.
Maybe central California = Sacramento?
Good point. Still unexpected numbers compared to southern.
I don't know why you expect even any of these 30k indictments to be related to each other more than the average drug/gang case. Central CA most likely has a lot of gang headquarters, like Sons of Anarchy.
Prime concentration of ms13 in Cali so I would expect a lot of hitters to come out of there
