We also must keep the definition and intent of an indictment out front so that even a Soi-boi understands.

Indictments are charges of a crime backed by a consensus of evidence. They allow for a criminal investigation and POSSIBLE arrest and trial.

That is why it is so important to have as many as possible in the pipeline AND as many intertwined with one another. This allows criminal investigators to gather evidence through co-conspirators and the like.

75K indictments will not result in 75K criminal charges, let alone 75K individuals in a frog parade.

You are incorrect. Arrest and indictment are independent; one may have arrest before indictment, for example.
