Notable Quotes 3
"You made available approximately 5,500 HC images for review at 500 Pearl Street in April, divided between two hard drives... The 302, on the other hand, indicates there are actually 33,747 HC images and 895 HC videos"
"My understanding is that you are only now making available for review approximately 35,000 images and videos that have not previously been made available. Is that true or not true?"
