I'm just curious whether it's just the Epstein case (where we're getting near-daily prodding about imminent deadlines for memos that are both extremely time-intensive and also couldn't possibly be acted upon for weeks, given the circumstances of the world) or if it's something broader in the unit.
I just sent the chiefs a pretty crabby email about being bugged daily about lengthy, detailed work product and it made me wonder whether this is a trend or an isolated incident.
