Unfortunately it's still not possible for us to determine which devices have been fully 100% included in that drive? We're not able to tell based on looking at the contents, because the devices do not all appear to have their own folders. The attached spreadsheet is the one you included on the drive, but it does not reflect which devices have been fully transferred. Could you please fill in the two columns I've added, L and M, indicating 3503-042 Page 1 of 14 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00002167 EFTA00157347
which devices have been fully transferred to us, and for the ones that are not fully transferred, the estimated time for completion? If you could please let us know that today it will be extremely helpful in figuring out how to proceed. And separately, could you please let me know what times you're available for a call tomorrow? It would be helpful to discuss why a number of the devices were combined together in folders on the drive, rather than being provided separately. And also helpful to know how long it would take to correct that. thanks very much, From: (USANYS) Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2020 12:25 To: (NY) (FBI) c IM (USANYS) [Contractor] Cc: 'MI, (USANYS) >; (USANYS) (NY) (FBI) sz )*;.. (NY) (FBI) '= "' Subject: RE: Epstein search warrant documents Respectfully, I think there are some miscommunications here — all we have asked is to receive the materials in a format such that we can view them using a system we have access to. We're not able to get web-enabled access through any FBI tool, so we asked for the materials to be transferred in a loadable format so we could put them on Relativity, which both we and the agents can access. We're required to have the files in a format that we can produce them to defense counsel. I've done that in many other cases and it hasn't previously been an issue. My understanding from= is that the best way to do it now is just for us (the U.S. Attorney's Office) to get the original files, which our vendor will process—by which I just mean converting into file formats that are loadable onto Relativity. It doesn't really have anything to do with the taint review—we have to have access to the docs in our systems for discovery purposes. And we were happy to get the materials as they were processed, but when we received the 1.1 million documents earlier this year, they were in a format that wasn't usable for the reasons described in the email I sent on March 9. Again, I understand from= that the best way forward is to just get copies of the materials in their original formats, which I understand will be segregated and designated by device. That should work for us! I was just trying to understand the approach, as well as the timeline. thanks, 3503-042 Page 2 of 14 SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER PARAGRAPHS 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, and 17 EFTA_00002 1 68 EFTA00157348
