RE: GM indictment

The sender is inquiring about the necessity of including photos in a GM indictment, specifically mentioning a photo of Epstein and proposing photos of "GIME" and abuse locations for visual impact at a press conference. The email discusses the public availability of images and potential accusations of sensationalizing information.

We are thinking that photos of GIME (the iconic one of them together) and the locations where the abuse happened would be a good visual. To that end, can we put the photos into the indictment so there is no issue with using them at the press conference?

I suppose we could, but is it really necessary? Didn't we use a photo of Epstein at his press conference without having it in the indictment? The photo of them is, as you note, widely publicly available, so I don't think we could be accused of publicizing something not already out there (or any more sensational than the indictment itself).
