This seems like a big deal. |
So that's Trusty's excuse for why none of the vendors wanted to scan the documents for Trump? It's not that they were worried about payment; it's that they didn't have the ability to scan 200,000 pages that quickly?
"In short, seasoned IT professionals who routinely work on large-scale document productions with the Government cannot meet the Government’s proposed schedule, and it was never realistic for the Government to suggest such a narrow timeframe. Consequently, the Plaintiff respectfully suggests that Your Honor and the parties will be best served by having the retained vendor convey a supportable timeframe for scanning roughly 200,000 pages into a platform, and also provide a breakdown of rollout quantities and proposed deadlines. It would be better to base deadlines on actual data and not wistful claims by the Government." He makes it sound like the government will need much much longer to have the task accomplished, but the DOJ is just asking for another day or two to hire a vendor. I dunno....It seems like if you hire enough people you could get any scanning, indexing job done in two weeks. |
Seems like the access journalism twit could be tried for withholding important information. Anything to move a few copies of a book about what she happened to hear with her lips firmly planted on Trump’s rear. |
This can absolutely be done on the government’s proposed timeframe. Trump just doesn’t want to pay for it. |
I don't think "Trump had sooooo many pages of government documents in his office, the document scanning vendors refuse to accept the job" is as good an excuse as Trusty seems to think it is. |
Something doesn’t make sense. 200,000 pages is something between 80 and 100 bankers boxes. DOJ didn’t sieze anything close to that according to the inventory. Are there electronic documents on a drive? |
200,000 = 400 teams = 40 cases = 1 pallet |
That's a good point. After the raid Trump's attorneys said the FBI took about 12 boxes of material. |
The inventory referenced 27 boxes with varied contents, such as a single pardon, newspaper clippings, file folders, personal items, etc. and we saw a framed magazine cover among other things. 200,000 pages weighs about 2000 pounds (1 ton). |
He’s just lying. |
Ooooh, I get it. Trump needs a list of the 100ish classified documents. He needs to see exactly what they are, because he was so careless he doesn’t even know. He’s saying he needs to see them to review them for privilege. But he really just needs to see the titles on the documents and the dates. Because his team wants to create a phone paper trail saying he declassified them, and also probably create a phoney narrative about why he took them. But they can’t do that without knowing exactly what the documents are. Trump has no idea, and his legal team can’t do anything because they don’t know either. |
