See what the answer is and what help he may need to get that done. I'm happy to elevate on the FBI side (and Russell and I put this issue on the radar of the new ASAC when we spoke to him on Monday), but let's get the answer from =first and then formulate the ask of CART as precisely as possible — do we want them to be devoting more resources to completing the extractions of all the data faster? Do we want them to be extracting in a different way? — before doing so.

That is, he would take all the pst files, pdf files, word files, images, etc etc, from something like 50+ devices and drives, and convert all of those materials into TIFF documents with a load file (or something similar). That's how we ordinarily get large productions from law firms or sophisticated subpoena recipients, for example — so that they're in a format that's reviewable on one of a number of platforms, whether Relativity, Everlaw, Logikcull, etc. So we were expecting to get the full set materials, totaling terabytes of dots, in Relativity-upload-ready format as of June. Instead, the FBI is going to basically just give us copies of the original files from the collected devices and drives — effectively the equivalent of a phone dump, or a copy of a hard drive. And we (or PAE, or another vendor) will have to convert the original files into a format that can be uploaded to Relativity. I think that CART will have stripped out useless files — system files, for example — but basically they're just sending us copies of what they gathered nine months ago, which I think they could have done in October or November, and the time (and cost) of preparing that data for review will be on our end. It's sort of like if I spent nine months working on what you expected would be a 300-page memo on a legal issue, and then instead sent you a list of a thousand relevant case citations. And the current delay is that FBI says they don't have hard drives to transmit the data, so = is in the process of obtaining or purchasing hard drives to send to . Then the data needs to go to = because = needs to figure out EFTA00027444
