Every email, text message, photograph of him or at his residences, legal document, flight log, and tip to law enforcement about his activities is a "document".
a million documents is on average about one document every 35 minutes for his entire life. that seems like a lot, even for a broad definition of "document"
All of those documents don't have to have originated from Epstein. There are documents relating to the various investigations of Epstein, court proceedings, documents produced by Epstein's businesses, by people who were associated with him like Ghislaine Maxwell and Brunel, etc, etc.
I honestly have no idea what a normal amount is, and a million does sound like a lot, but if it includes entire contracts, leases, lawsuits, etc., it could be a shitload of documents.
A document for an email he sent. A document with the metadata from that email. A document that is just the image attached to the email. A document summarizing all the above. A document which lists the above being filed into evidence. A document with an agent attesting that he filed them into evidence.
And so on and so forth.
This describes the inbox at my corporate job, hold the CP and sex trafficking
Back in high school I probably sent a decent chunk of that daily in text messages alone.
