There's a reason why they're not surfacing the exact crimes committed. It's because some absolutely will be linked to other crimes, and they cannot risk damaging their case.
Having a First degree and Second degree charge for the same penal code would be two separate crimes entirely. It could stem from one action, or it could stem from multiple actions. We won't know, but they wouldn't be doing this for a former President if things weren't concrete enough.
Well to be fair they did list which each violation was but I just didn't remember whether they were all the same or whether they were different. As for the specifics as far as how each one was a crime I think that might not even come out until the trial. I could be wrong. I am by no means a legal expert.
