The files are in a google drive here

    The problem is that none of those pages contain novel content.

    They were pretty much all already available from various sources. This is 100% a distraction. As I posted elsewhere recently, this is an extremely common legal defense tactic employed by rich people and corporations: inundate the plaintiff’s counsel with metric fuckloads of bullshit. It serves to confuse the matter, delay discovery of important data, and also makes it a lot more difficult to quickly determine that critical data may be missing.
