And the DOJ is supposed to be representing the victims and survivors against the bad guy.
But here they're basically on the same team, the DOJ and Ghislaine, and that's not what our system was built on.
So the judge is saying, I don't really have the tools.
I'm not sure what I can do.
So I wanted to give that framework because obviously we'll go through the documents, Brett and Jordy, but I don't think that level of analysis has been explained to people.
And so that's why I want to focus there from the outset versus going through the emails and stuff.
This is a simple document production.
It's actually not complex at all.
Every day, back when we had competent federal prosecutors,
And for any civil litigators out there watching this who handle complex cases involving financial fraud or what have you, you deal with terabytes of documents all the time.
The number three to five million documents or pages in my world when I was a litigator, that's actually not a lot of documents.
why you work with teams of people to review them you use search tools that help you you do it every day and you just sit down and review it it's it's it's not all that hard you know if if you have a team of five people right some of these emails and text messages are short
Some of the pages are long because it has a lot of filler or news articles or things that aren't necessarily relevant.
So you start to see these patterns when you do your document review.
And so, you know, typically for me, a three to five terabyte doc review, which may be five to 10 million documents.
is a 60 day to 75 day task.
So if you told me I had until February to January 31st of the next year to do this, plus I had 250 lawyers, maybe more, because if you believe the DOJ, they claim they had a thousand lawyers working on this back last year, a thousand.
I would tell you this is a 30 day task, it's easy.
But also you have no leadership at the DOJ,
You have horrible actors at the DOJ.
