but then I didn't hear much from him anymore. Now I know where he is so thank you!

I have heard the debate about use of the term "scheme" vs actual "conspiracy" (the latter I expect being a true "legal" term for charging purposes).

Of course, there is apparently nothing stopping that office from bringing forth a "superseding indictment" that could potentially go that next step, the ability of using such a tactic being something actually brought up by Weissman here -

No, the prior DA did not reject the Trump charges brought by Bragg
So much for the misleading effort by MAGA Republicans to use the former Manhattan district attorney to attack the current one.

Although it took some work to tease it out of Vance (for reasons I will explain in a moment), the former DA made clear that when he left office at the end of 2021, the investigation into Trump’s business practices undertaken by his office was still not ready to prosecute — and still could quite conceivably be the subject of a superseding indictment by Bragg.
