he is not mentioned 38000 times. this number comes from new york times article, where they count everything related to him, including locations.

so someone sending email to someone saying "orange cheeto with melania and donald junior will be spending christmas at mar-a-lago, said eric" counts as five for that count.

also the files contain collection of tips from the fbi hotlines, and his name there also counts and when you use the number 38000 as a proof, these tips are direct opposite, they are something that needs to be proved first.

not saying he isn't asshole, but people should know what they are saying.
