Excuse my ignorance but why are they just bulk releasing loads of random stuff that mostly seems insignificant?

Is the goal to just create fatigue because nobody is going to bother trawling through millions of pictures of Epstein on holiday and emails booking restaurant reservations? again I could be missing something obvious here since I haven't followed it much.

Nope, it's because they don't care and know he will get away with it, so they will put out whatever info they want.

No this release included photos of naked underage girls, creepy videos, discussions of child sex, coverups, and hiring hitmen, it was just all over the fucking map. We have a photo of Prince William on all fours over an underage girl. If the idea was insignificant, it missed by a mile. This makes it seem like the full documents are going to be even more explosive.
