Summary

An email chain from February 2020 involving an Assistant U.S. Attorney from the Southern District of New York and the FBI regarding the processing of Epstein search warrant materials. The sender expresses frustration over the lack of organization in the data dumps, citing a hard drive with mixed old and new materials, including a folder named 'NYC024362' containing over 600,000 items. The AUSA requests a spreadsheet to track devices and extracted data to prevent the review process from becoming a 'total disaster'.

Having said all this, below, I’m still going to drop off the hard drive in your office in case you’re able to tell what we previously got and what’s new – for obvious reasons I do want the FBI to start identifying this stuff, but if we’re able to move forward on the most recent addition that would be great. If you could please take a look at the hard drive and let us know either way? Thank you!!

I’m not sure who’s the exact right person to ask this, so wanted to get everybody on one email chain about it – I have the hard drive that [REDACTED] dropped off that has new Epstein search warrant materials, but it looks like there are also old materials (that I think we had previously received and uploaded??) on the hard drive, and so I’m not sure what’s new.
Just generally, and [REDACTED] and I talked about this last week too, but it’s basically impossible for us to keep track of what we’re getting, and what has been completed, without some kind of identification or labeling system, along with a list of which devices have been extracted and downloaded.
So for example on the hard drive currently, there are 38 folders labeled “loadFiles” through “37loadFiles” with a modified date of 11/14/19, which I think we may have already previously received – but I’m not sure, because we haven’t gotten any info on which folders match up to which devices, etc. And then there’s another folder titled “NYC024362” that has a modified date of 1/27/20, so I think that may be the materials we hadn’t previously received? That folder by itself has more than 600,000 items.
I don’t want to give [REDACTED] anything that we’ve already previously received and uploaded, and I can’t tell from the folder or file names whether everything on the drive is new, or whether just additional materials were saved onto it in addition to what we already have. [REDACTED] are you able to give us some guidance on this? Ultimately what we really need is a spreadsheet of every device, whether it’s been dumped (or partially dumped), and then identifying that same info – which device, and what materials from it – are being given to us with each data transfer. Otherwise I think organizationally and for review purposes it will be a total disaster for us.
We’re happy to have a meeting on this if that’s helpful – and thanks everybody for the assistance.
