The issue is a little bigger than that.   There are not 35,000 sealed indictments. That is a count of all documents sealed in court cases.  Requests for Search Warrants are sealed, youth records are sealed, there are many type of sealed documents. The normal average from a 2009 report.   This new much larger number is counting anything marked sealed.......you can't tell if these are indictments are not. This is a giant misunderstanding based on the fact, that an apples to apples comparison is not being done.
