Why are there millions of docments about Epstein's criminal activity?

17. My high school has scores of video cameras

and each one's depositing data to hard drives when activated--which is pretty much whenever there are students in the building (or maybe just anybody).

But, you know, you go back a couple of weeks later and you won't find the recordings that were made unless there's a reason for them. Teacher's car gets hit, there's a fight, somebody's sexually assaulted or kids are taped fleeing from the bathroom when the THC vape detectors catch them, sure. And the record can be flagged and saved, copied to a safe place. Preserved as evidence until it's not evidence any more.

I'd assume that having 15 VHS decks or hard drives recording for hours a day, 7/365, would be absurdly wasteful--he'd want the "choice" bits, not 12 hours of watching a kitchen or himself take dumps. Who'd go back and watch all of it, who'd go back a week later to find the choice bits? Do it next day, fast forward, and scrap the dross.

Wasn't there some former reporter/book writer 'of note' that alerted Epstein to the fact that the 'good guys' were eyeing him up again? You hear that, what would you do with your stash o' incrimination?
