A million documents? First of all, how were they just now "found"? Second, how in the fuck are there a million documents about any 1 person? That is an insane amount of data on a single person's doings.

Every email, text message, photograph of him or at his residences, legal document, flight log, and tip to law enforcement about his activities is a "document".

a million documents is on average about one document every 35 minutes for his entire life. that seems like a lot, even for a broad definition of "document"

Back in high school I probably sent a decent chunk of that daily in text messages alone.

A document for an email he sent. A document with the metadata from that email. A document that is just the image attached to the email. A document summarizing all the above. A document which lists the above being filed into evidence. A document with an agent attesting that he filed them into evidence.

And so on and so forth.

As far as you know

All of those documents don't have to have originated from Epstein. There are documents relating to the various investigations of Epstein, court proceedings, documents produced by Epstein's businesses, by people who were associated with him like Ghislaine Maxwell and Brunel, etc, etc.

I honestly have no idea what a normal amount is, and a million does sound like a lot, but if it includes entire contracts, leases, lawsuits, etc., it could be a shitload of documents.

Billionaires aren't people, they're an avatar of their wealth. They're basically a company of themselves... They have all sorts of staff and connections. That creates a lot of paperwork

I'm not sure if Epstein was a billionaire, but his life was organized like he was

This guy is a state funded representative of Israel, and the US government knew that. Apparently it was extensively documented.

They asked Grok to spit out more documents that implicate democrats.

plz1@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 236d

I'm pretty sure these counts are in pages/images/etc. Not 1 milliions PDF's, but rather, 1 million pages in PDF format (example).

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 236d

probably includes people other than trump, other billionaires, executives,ceos, other world leaders.

I'd be impressed if I've sent anywhere near that amount of emails in my life.

phutatorius@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 236d

It's safe to assume that they're not all emails.

shittydwarf@piefed.social · 48 pts · 237d

Cool you're still late releasing them

MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net · 28 pts · 236d

I was told the files didn't exist. Repeatedly. By the fascist mouthpieces.

Probably AI slop. Flood the zone with shit tactics. Bannon.

Easy, just have AI create a million documents so you can mix in the real ones. It will take a lifetime to separate the trash from the real ones.
