I would suggest one of two ‘stories’.
First, could be intentionally left to waste 6 months of time analyzing the reports.
Second, could be the FBI crew who were supposed to draft the hoax material, and as they left for jobs to disappear...they left ‘Marvin’ in charge to burn the material. ‘Marvin’ pondered the situation...eventually deciding to leave the room locked, and the material to be eventually found, un-burned.
The pain I’d see at this point, from a intel analyst standpoint...if you say there are 4,000 pages of material...it could take you four months to piece together the reports, hoax material, facts, etc.
Having ‘cleaned-up’ a SCIF or two in my life...there’s always the last guy left with a crap job.
Yes, but it would be fun reading though.
AI could scan them all in a day. The only thing slowing it would be uploading them.
I thought Comey read 20,000 emails over a weekend...
