Summary
An email thread from October 2019 between SDNY prosecutors and the FBI regarding the processing of electronic evidence seized from Jeffrey Epstein's New York residence. An Assistant U.S. Attorney questions the low volume of processed documents given that approx. 38 computers and 55 CDs were seized. An FBI Senior Forensic Examiner responds that one machine alone contained over 800,000 emails, slowing processing, and notes that evidence from 'the Island' took priority due to an expiration date.

So the short answer is that the load files are not completed yet. One machine alone had over 800,000 emails.
The limitation of the load files is that they can only be generated with 25,000 entries at a time. So I got out as
quickly as I could what fit that bill. Now along has come all the stuff from the Island that had an expiration
date, so that took priority. I can now go back and try to generate the stuff that has yet to be processed into load
files, but the process is slow and painful. Just as an FYI, all the content is available for taint review in FTK
right now.

Hey [Redacted],
Hey [Redacted],
I've copied [Redacted] here who has handled all of the Epstein evidence that was sent to CART. He should
be able to answer your questions regarding what he's processed.

that's fine too. My understanding was that they were processing the materials in the attached, which appears to
