Would we be seeing these emails involving Epstein if they were all using E2EE email service?
Reply in thread
I haven't heard exactly how the DOJ obtained the files/emails. It would be interesting to know that. I only see this from DOJ:
These files were collected from five primary sources including the Florida and New York cases against Epstein, the New York case against Maxwell, the New York cases investigating Epstein’s death, the Florida case investigating a former butler of Epstein, Multiple FBI investigations, and the Office of Inspector General investigation into Epstein’s death.

yeah, my point is that if it were Proton instead of Google, Proton wouldn't have the option of providing the contents of the emails, because they would be encrypted. Correct me if I am wrong.
