Before I say how many lawyers it takes, where do you get this 13,000 documents number from? Just wondering.

Individual prosecutors can have staff; all DOJ lawyers likely have basic staff. The way I understand things, Jack Smith will have the staff that's been investigating the Jan 6 cases. Which is a lot.

Deputy Attorney General, Lisa Monaco (second to Garland) hired at least 80 more lawyers since April, but announced in March that they were looking to hire 131. There's been no news that I know of about what the total staff number are right now. She's been the one to apprise Jack Smith of everything.
