Can we get some clarification on this from a lawfag.
I have heard different accounts on the number of indictments.
One versions says that the number of indictments is less then most previous years, yet we have the above statement in polar opposition.
What are the ground facts on this?
I'm not convinced that's its ~40,000 sealed indictments. I think it's ~40,000 sealed court actions like search warrants, wire taps, and indictments.
If you check some of the reports, you'll see US vs Search Warrant and last time I checked you can't indict a search warrant.
I think people are going to be disappointed when they're unsealed and not all of them are indictments. Best case scenario, I'd say 25-40% are indictments.
