He's mentioned 38,000 times so far. There's still supposed to be a metric fuck-ton of files left to release
He's mentioned that many times with redactions.
he is not mentioned 38000 times. this number comes from new york times article, where they count everything related to him, including locations.
so someone sending email to someone saying "orange cheeto with melania and donald junior will be spending christmas at mar-a-lago, said eric" counts as five for that count.
also the files contain collection of tips from the fbi hotlines, and his name there also counts and when you use the number 38000 as a proof, these tips are direct opposite, they are something that needs to be proved first.
not saying he isn't asshole, but people should know what they are saying.
I appreciate your desire to be correct, but don't let pedantry distract from the real issue. He's still one of the most mentioned people in the files, and that's what really matters, not the exact count.
But it does show connection
On the other hand his name was probably the most redacted one. They even redacted "don't" because it could be "Don.T". That's why you have to look at connections.
yeah, that's fair, i am just saying to be aware what that number means when you use it, i am not saying he is a good guy and should not spend rest of his life in prison.
