AWS E3 storage is $0.023 per GB per month. $20,000 a month would pay for nearly 900Tb. and that is assuming the base price. the more you need to store the cheaper it gets. I've worked on document storage systems with millions of documents. they are not 900Tb.
Yeah but this data is under seal and has to be accessed by legal firms, courthouses etc. and in this case especially, it is a prime target for hackers who would love this information to come out and undermine the trial.
"The problem can be illustrated through the following example of a forensically sound collection of 800 GB (the size of one hard drive of a typical computer) and a data set that yields 200 GB of reviewable material. A typical ESI vendor will charge $200 per GB for processing, plus $50 per month per GB and $90 per month per user to host the data. If a case lasts 18 months, the total cost is just under $350,000. And, if we accept the commonly cited assumption that the reviewing process will comprise 60–70 percent of the total project price, the project cost—to process, maintain, and review the data from one computer—will be close to $1 million."
that is just a ripoff. there is no way those costs can be justified.
None of these incompetent morons should run for office.
I'm guessing they must have ridiculous fail-safes in place to prevent corruption of data etc plus I'm assuming it's on site storage. So probably staffing on top of that.
Compared to storing GBs for instagram or world of warcraft or a midsize company yeah, GB for GB it's an absolute rip-off, this is not how you would choose to store data in any other ordinary circumstance, but this isn't just any data and "processing" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, special masters etc. have to look through data to see what is privileged and what is not, with an understanding of the law and the investigations/prosecutions/cases. Rule 34 is a sonnofabitch and the people involved aren't making minimum wage.
This just in....
The indictments are just making the leftover base more galvanized, as you would expect, they're a bit delusional. It sounds like we will see a Red Wave November if you know what I mean. 2/3rds of the country according to poll say they would never vote for Trump or support him in 2024, compared to 2/3rd of Republicans who now say they do support him.
The definition of insanity at this point is Red Wave November.
And to add...
When asked about Trump’s most recent federal indictment, 53% of Americans said they “approve of the Justice Department indicting Trump in the federal case that he worked to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election."
Democrats are blessed that the Republicans are such a shambles.
Any Republican candidate with a chance of winning a presidential election would have to be anti-Trump but unfortunately for such a person, they wouldn't make it out of the primary.
Look at the top Republican candidates - all Trumpanzees; Ramaswamy, Scott, Elder, Haley.
Elder is trying to play the cute hoor. One interview Trump is unelectable, the next interview the Trump indictments are unfair and he's open to being his running mate.
Even DeSantis is coddling Trump's balls, despite Trump's utter contempt for him.
If Youngkin sits 2024 out, he has a great chance in 2028. Presumably November elections in Virginia will be his primary concern and jumping into the race before then would be a disaster and jumping in afterwards gives him f*ck all time to campaign before Iowa.
All in all, Trump is the best Democrat in D.C.
March 2024 for Georgia trial.
https://www.reuters.com/legal/fulton-county-prosecutors-propose-march-2024-trial-date-trump-georgia-case-2023-08-16/
It’s amazing the 3rd of March is the day that hunter bidens J walking case is due to come up.
Is that Jake Smith in Jan and Fani Willis in March 2024?
...
My god, the incompetence!
So since he has 10 days to appear (wow, red carpet for a RICO case) when are we going to start hearing MAGA say "just comply" again?
Seeing a lottt of Koch ads today aka. Americans for Prosperity, in South Carolina, telling viewers hey sure yeah some of the things he got done were good but we have to move on he's a dead weight loser, variations of these:
Looking at the lists of rank-incompetent supposedly qualified lawyers caught up in this has led me to conclude that Americans get their Bar certificates free inside a packet of crisps or something
The names of the Grand Jurors are in Trump's indictment (a matter of state law) so his supporters are going out and doxxing them.
This makes a lot of sense, and you could track the same or similar pathology for Lindsay Graham too, who at home is labeled a RINO, nobody really likes him, they just use him as a senatorial tool. Mar a Lago is a safe space for those political outcasts - recently that's included Kari Lake.
Jansing: Can you pinpoint a time when America’s mayor, when the guy who prosecuted RICO cases changed? And was it about Donald Trump?
Kirtzman: Well, there are two pivots in Rudy Giuliani’s life. One was 9/11, when he became more popular than the Pope, according to a poll at that time. And then the 2008 presidential race when he entered as a front runner and ended it in humiliation with just one delegate. And it was at that moment in 2008 when things kind of crashed around him, when he lost his 9/11 halo, was left in kind of the political wilderness. There was Donald Trump. And Donald Trump literally took him in to Mar-a-Lago right after his failure in 2008 and kind of shielded Giuliani when he was, kind of fell into a depression that I write about in my book. But also the two of them needed each other by 2016. Trump needed Giuliani because he didn’t have any political friends, and Giuliani needed Trump because no one was knocking at Giuliani’s door anymore to to endorse them. They each had a lot of reason to bond together. And they like each other. They like each other a lot. They respect each other.

Trump is facing four major criminal indictments, and his popularity with the Republican base in general his ticked upwards. A few poxy targeted ads is going to do sweet FA, let's be honest.
Sometimes there needs to be a major overhaul in thinking and approach. Society reaches these points from time to time. To give an example, WW1 has been called a 20th century war fought with 19th century tactics, and it bred a necessity to rethink approaches to war. By the same token, Trump is a 21st century monster that is getting the 20th century treatment. It's not going to work. These attacks pass through him like bullets through the T-1000. MAGA is not a reasonable bunch of people. It is a death cult. To put this very bluntly, in 7 years, nobody's figured out a way to peel voters away from him and have him wither into obscurity and that bodes fairly ill imo.
They've peeled away enough for him to be a GOP liability, that they now can't shake off. Remember he's lost every time since 2016.
What a silly comment.
In the US its a bag of chips!
Absolutely disgraceful action by his supporters, and a glaring deficiency in Georgia state law IMO.
Serving on a jury, grand or any other form of judicial panel should be afforded anonymity and especially in this instance, protection.
Some may take the notion that as the grand jury voted to indict, that they are the accuser and that everyone has the right to face their accuser in court.
When the truth is? That the Grand Jury heard the evidence the State presented, agreed that there was a case to answer and as such voted to indict. It is the state, it is Georgia that is prosecuting Trump, not those members of the grand jury who are doing their Civic duty
People serving on juries are IMO one of the tenets of any functioning democracy's social contract. It is a cornerstone of justice that one is entitled to judgement via a jury of one's peers. The chilling effect that doxxing and threats of violence and more will have on the jury pool in Fulton Co will be interesting to see play out.
It may be part of a strategy at some level by Trumpist's to help ensure that the case is kicked to Federal court by forcing a need for a larger jury pool.
Or, and far more likely. It is Trumpist's being what they usually are, assholes!
He gained about ten million voters in 2020. 74 million people looked at Trump and said, "Yes, this man has my vote."
Now, this is not to deny that his toxicity was such that he helped Biden get 84 million votes in response to that, but my previous post was not regarding Trump's potential to become president (although if he is nominee, this must be considered a possibility) again so much as it was regarding Trump remaining an unshakable political force that will dominate the Republican party for as long as he draws breath and probably for quite some time after that.
No-one in that party has figured out an effective way of neutralising him. His power in the party is so overwhelming that anyone who moves against him faces humiliation or ousting to the fringes.
But HuNtErS LaPtOp
But HuR EmAiLs.
LOcK hUr Up.
trump cultists acting like the terrorists they are? Say it ain't so. People are even saying that they should drop charges against him even if they are true. The very definition of a terrorist. These are not patriots and not only failed insurrectionists. These are terrorists. Enemies of America.
1 week to go before the first big debate and Trump is probably not gonna show up, too busy defending himself with a Mike Pillow Guy level presentation on this monday about how the election was rigged TM followed by submitting to or evading arrest by next friday. When will he have time to squeeze in debate prep
He's not gonna show, trump's character sheet is Bully, and bullies don't show up to fights they know they will get their ass handed to them in, gosh imagine all the zingers on wednesday night would just be "Donald, don't you have to turn yourself into jail tomorrow?"
MSNBC reveals scoop video of Roger Stone as early as November 5th (2 days after the election but 2 days before it was called by the media for Biden) plotting to overturn the election with fake electors
