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.

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

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.

Thank you, scrowel2.

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.

Yes, 117 prosecutions Bragg has done in his 14 (?) months in office. cf Rachel Maddow last night.
