True, the indictment remains under seal pending after a "limited unsealing order" likely by NY state Judge Merchant who handled a prior NY state action against the Trump Organization.
However, NBC News is reporting multiple Counts, enhanced felony Counts which will be accurately reported by Lawfare when publicly available explaining how the Counts were charged.
We will have to wait like everyone else but, I am expecting well crafted charges supported by stark admissible evidence.
Bryan, can you link to where NBC reported that? I have had nowhere near the time to read every reliable source this afternoon, but everywhere I have seen says ~25-30 counts, with no information as to misdemeanor or felony.
I think 117 might be the number of this type of case that the Manhattan DA's office has prosecuted this term so far.
I taped Rachel & I will review. UPDATE with Mea Culpa: You are correct scrowel2, Rachel in her opening monologue stated that DA Alvin Bragg has brought this "falsification of biz records" charges 117 prior times in his short time as DA.
Rachel observed that "overheated expectations" are bound to disappoint & warned that the NY state proceedings will be "boring". I do not think it will be boring but, will rely on Lawfare for accurate reporting & court document attachments.
Joyce Vance reported 34 separate indictments, according to the NYT. She could not firgure out just where they all were coming from, so some of them may indeed be a surprise.

That was what Rachel Maddow said less night. 117 previous prosecutions.

Thank you, scrowel2.

You are correct Kathleen, thank you for your comment. tfg will be arraigned next Tuesday before Judge Merchant in the state of New York.
Yes, 117 prosecutions Bragg has done in his 14 (?) months in office. cf Rachel Maddow last night.
You are correct Liz, see my "overheated expectations" errata in this thread.
117? Wow! That’s going to be some arraignment!
FYI, Professor Joyce Vance's Civil Discourse email tonite cites 34 Counts relying on a Paula Reid/CNN tweet.
34 opportunities to see some Rusky tax returns. Red line my ass!
Only 34? Well that will have to do :)
