My only problem with the this is that there is no way to source the material!
Is that related to the nature of sealed indictments, that these are basically being leaked and that is how the information is being slow dripped out to the masses and skipping the MSM?
Considering how corrupt the establishment is I can not wait to see these numbers continue to climb and further I can not wait for the guilty to be brought out into the light.
S&F!

We can assume some of these are civil cases
The author on twitter said it was from 2009 but it was the report from 2009 on a study done in 2006.
The assumption is made that all are criminal as he mentions 1077 criminal cases in all 2006 without mentioning civil cases. Sealed all together for 2006 would be 1655.

And I would ask how would they know what is civil or criminal? They are just federal district courts and both can be filed there.
Unfortunately this did not include the individual districts which shows the sealed and unsealed documents tho earlier versions did.
In earlier versions, which were less comprehensive, it showed sealed and unsealed docs. According to the report linked above, some of the people in sealed doc's (which can include multiple people) can be unsealed. Would love to check out connections in some of those folks. Too difficult to find that info for the moment.

I still have to ask, how did they know? I don't see a differentiation here. Enlighten me. I read the report and I know the OP said criminal were 1077, then jumped to the current #. The 2009 report done for 2006 differentiated between criminal and civil but they spoke to people in the court system for the study.
Sorry to be a pain. Either or, this is highly unusual.

Thanks MME, that helps. I haven't been back to see replies. My question about civil vs criminal was picky because even if the ratio were the same, the # sealed is still unprecedented for less than a month compared to a year, even if a years worth has doubled since 2006. Something is happening and most of us are hoping it is a swamp draining.
