    1000 agents who could have been investigating crimes on behalf of victims. Instead, they were tasked with protecting a perpetrator.

    e: also, jesus christ, how much work should it take to investigate and flag one ’innocent’ person’s references? 1,000 agents? How many man-hours is that? The man-hours that could have been spent for victims is one unconscionable thing – but how many man-hours should it take to bury this? That’s staggering. I thought we mostly knew what was in these files, but I’d also think 10 agents would be more than enough. What the fuck are we missing?

      If they spent just one business day on this, that’d be 8000 man hours, at least as I understand it.

      Stretch that out to a single agent working standard work weeks (40 hours) that breaks down to 200 work weeks for a single agent.

      That is almost 4 years of work for a single agent, assuming no vacations or other time off (illness, car trouble, etc)

      I don’t know if that helps you quantify it, but it helped put it in perspective for me.

      Allegedly, there are some 100k pages to go through. As a “deadline” approaches as Wayne from Letterkenny say, “More hands, less work

      This is a waste of time and “efficency” for someone who claims to not know a thing
