Related: About this forumTrump PANICS as DOJ FINDS 5,000,000+ Lost EPSTEIN FILES?!? - Legal AF
Looks like they are going to need a "bigger boat" over at Trump's DOJ (and a lot more antacid), since they claim to have found not 1 MILLION more Epstein files hiding in plain sight no doubt at the last minute, but now 5 MILLION MORE, and the DOJ wants your pity that they need to review them with 400 lawyers over the holidays! Popok sets the record straight on a special New Year's Day hot take. - 01/01/2026.

Do you know what a box of printer paper looks like? Ten reams of paper, 500 sheets per ream for 5000 sheets....

.....in a box. I know the 5 million documents doesn't equate to 5 million sheets necessarily, but consider that it would be 1000 of those boxes full of Epstein documents if it did. This would be roughly two tons of documents that would almost fill a 40 foot shipping container.

Imagine if all the posts onboard DU had to be printed. That would be one page per post.
