3.) Sealed Indictments now approaching 70,000 - When you consider 800-1,200 is the annual average, this is a KEY indicator.

This is completely inaccurate. The 70k number is not the amount of sealed indictments, it is the amount of EVERY sealed document in the court system (search warrants, juvenile records, petty offenses... everything). This is not even debated, as at the bottom of the chart in small letters, it says that the numbers represent 'proceedings'. They titled it 'sealed indictments' for clickbait, and to mislead people... it worked.

In addition to that, there is no proof that 70k sealed 'proceedings' is unusual. It only looks unusual because they are falsely comparing it to a study from 12 years ago, that examined an entirely different category of data.

For example, the '800-1200 SIs per year is normal' line was NOT the amount of SI's filed. That was the amount of a certain category of data from 2006, that included SIs within it. Furthermore that amount (1077) was only the amount STILL REMAINING SEALED 2 YEARS AFTER BEING FILED. The amount that was filed in 2006 could have been 100k for all we know.

When compared to recent history (2016), the 70k amount is normal.

In other words, the claim is completely bogus. This article explains it in detail:

4.) Mass Resignations - Since POTUS took office executive resignations (and other) have spiked (mostly by those in their prime) to nearly 6,000, resulting in unprecedented turnover.

The mass resignation thing really isn't noteworthy. It's not 'wrong' per se, but there is absolutely no evidence that shows the current tracked number (6k) is unusual.

There is no historical data to compare that number to, and the person that maintains the database even says the number is meaningless as a comparison. We could be experiencing LESS resignations this year, compared to others, for all we know.

The only data available is this report that examines US CEO resignations. There is less than a 4% difference over 2014, this year.

So it really shouldn't be used as evidence of anything. Anyone that researches it will find what I just discussed, and know that it is a meaningless statistic.
