So “a million more documents” is now “roughly 5.2 million pages of Epstein files documents”
And they’re “seeking to enlist about 400 lawyers” to do doc review, which means they don’t even have the people yet to get it done
Trump & Pamela Jo are just slow-walking the shit out of violating the law.

Smith: I can tell you that some of the co-conspirators met with us in proffers and did interviews with us. Giuliani sat for a proffer with us—he was available as a witness, and we would have welcomed President Trump calling him as a witness.

Media outrage would blot out the sun if Joe Biden was MC'ing an auction at his private golf club on NYE and blithely dismissing a $2 million bid for a painting as "peanuts" while Americans struggle to pay the bills and ACA health insurance premiums go up - today - by 100% or more
after bidding $100,000 for a painting during an auction at Mar-a-Lago, Trump describes $2 million as "peanuts" for another bidder and the painting eventually goes for over $2.5 million
