The CBS article is titled “ There are dozens of sealed criminal indictments on the DC docket. Are they from Mueller?” I think it just means DC and not mationally???
There were just over 300 in Washington (Eastern, aka DC), from your second link. 45k is the total (which you know) not just DC. So, it is a wrong comparison I think. Or is that article talking Nationally? I didn’t see that.
It's an ABC article and it's definitely only DC. But still, if we applied that to all 93 judicial districts. It doesn't come anywhere close to 61,000.
And you would think the DC district court would have more than say, North and South Dakota.
So, it is a wrong comparison I think.
This is basically a giant clue that the theory there 10,000's of sealed Indictments and now half a million sealed Indictments waiting to be acted on is not supported by facts.
Because another fact is. Outsiders cannot count sealed indictments using PACER. There's just no way to tell one sealed court filing from another. Lots of things are sealed and many of them stay sealed.
The latest sealed indictment count of over 500,000 has been verified by quite a few people. There have been videos that showed the Pacer count/screenshot. I don’t think that is a larp.
The problem is you cannot count sealed Indictments that way.
Unless you have insider access to that specific district court, you CANNOT distinguish one sealed proceeding from another.
This is why www.bad-boys.us stopped using "sealed Indictments" and now talks about sealed cases. They changed the language a few years ago, but they didn't go on to educate people on the difference.
The difference means they have no way of knowing how many of those 500,000 sealed cases are Indictments. NONE.
So this article argues against the high number of sealed Indictments.
This article said 36 sealed Indictments are unusual.
But this came out several months AFTER people were claiming there were already 25,000 sealed Indictments, a claim going around in early 2018

By August they were claiming 45,000.

In November when that article came someone replied to it saying there were 61,000 sealed Indictments

So there's a giant disconnect there
