We are learning much more about why the Epstein disclosures might be taking so long. Yesterday, the Federalist ran an intriguing story headlined, “DOJ Officials Didn't Know Database Let FBI Bury Russiagate Docs.”

https://thefederalist.com/2025/06/02/senior-doj-officials-didnt-know-database-allowed-fbi-to-bury-existence-of-russiagate-documents/

According to the story, the FBI stores its evidence in a central document management system called Sentinel. It’s how anyone finds anything. For example, when special counsel John Durham searched for documents related to Russiagate, he used the Sentinel system. It is the only way to access the FBI’s stored evidence.

But the FBI’s permanent bureaucrats knew something that the political appointees didn’t. Sentinel has several layers of classification. These designations are used to protect classified information, conceal witness identity, and maintain operational security during investigations.

What John Durham and nearly everyone else at the Department of Justice didn’t know was that the FBI had built a top-secret, master-level code into the Sentinel system called “Prohibited Access.” Unlike “Restricted Access,” which shows that documents exist (but are locked down), Prohibited Access entirely hides their existence.

In other words, it returns false negatives in internal FBI searches— agents querying relevant terms would see nothing at all and think there is nothing. The only way to find a “Prohibited Access” document is to know exactly what you’re looking for and run a special search while logged into the specific case where the documents were saved.

According to Federalist sources, no one from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office ever mentioned to Durham that documents relevant to the investigation into surveillance of the Trump campaign were concealed by the “Prohibited Access” designation, even though FBI officials knew the DOJ was investigating the origins and handling of the Crossfire Hurricane case.

Now it becomes easier to understand why Peter Strzok and James Comer were so annoyingly arrogant during their Congressional testimony. They knew a secret. They knew that John Durham would never see the most problematic documents.

(Sounds like a job for DOGE’s engineers. Or maybe it already has been.)

If evidence was willfully concealed using database tools designed to frustrate discovery, it might be criminal. Options include obstruction of justice, fraud on the court, Brady violations (failure to disclose exculpatory evidence), or even civil rights offenses if this was part of a politically motivated prosecution strategy.

There is conceivable justification for some kind of Prohibited Access. One can imagine the need for total secrecy in some key cases, like if the FBI were investigating an FBI agent, or a Chinese spy. But those favorable arguments are blown out of the water by the singular fact that the DOJ didn’t know about it and the FBI didn’t tell them— even during an active investigation.

In a late-breaking story published this morning while I was writing this up, the Federalist reported that the U.S. Attorney tasked with investigating the Biden-Burisma connection confirmed he was not told by FBI about the Prohibited Access codes. He ran keyword searches in the Sentinel system for “Burisma,” “Zlochevsky,” and other related terms, and got nothing.

The FBI had its own secret invisibility code without any oversight. In other words, the Sentinel system has a built-in auto-redact switch designed to bypass the people in charge, effectively making FBI a rogue agency.

But “Prohibited Access” is now exposed as a key deep-state tool, perhaps one of the most insidious and darkly elegant weapons in the administrative arsenal. It appears legitimate. After all, it doesn’t destroy documents, leak emails, or fabricate evidence. It simply hides reality. Silently, permanently, without fingerprints.

It’s plausible deniability: “But you never asked for Prohibited Access documents.”

CONGRESS: “Why weren’t these turned over?”

FBI: “Your request didn’t include ‘buried under digital cement.’”

This story reanimates Donald Rumsfeld’s folksy term, “unknown unknowns.” The Federalist said not even FBI agents were aware of the Prohibited Access code. So only a cabal of trusted insiders knew, and it appears they weren’t inclined to share, even with their Constitutional bosses.

This is a scandal on par with the worst cases of intelligence abuse in American history. ...

Like CIA’s “Family Jewels,” “Prohibited Access” is no longer a secret and has gone mainstream, even if corporate media is stubbornly ignoring the scandal. If the documents are anywhere in the database, they can be found. Who knows what could be there? Presumably (hopefully) it contains a lot of things that should be protected, like the aforementioned counterintelligence operations.

But how about other politically sensitive issues? How about the Epstein documents? Covid origins? January 6th? Hunter’s laptop?

If the Federalist’s article is to be at all believed, Kash Patel’s team is just now finding out about this. It could amount to nothing, or a few minor reforms. Or this story could ignite a nuclear-grade accelerant for Trump’s broader strategic disclosure doctrine.

No, that's not the reason.

The reason certain videos will not be released is because of the man in them.

The girls' faces and sexual parts can be blacked out.

Who's the man?

I call bullshit. A kid with a shitty old video card an a computer running XP can blur and pixelize victim faces. This is bullshit.

Bwahahahaha!

NEW: FBI Director Kash Patel says there’s no Epstein Island video showing elites committing crimes—and if there were, “you’d see it.”

Joe Rogan asked the question millions have been screaming for years: “Is there video from the island?”

Kash’s answer? Blunt.

“Not of what you want… If I had it, I’d be the first guy to bring this case hard and fast.”

He claims they’ve reviewed everything under lawful access. They’ve combed through the files. And what they have, he says, is… nothing.

Not the kind of bombshell the public has imagined. No smoking gun. No list. No footage of the world’s powerful doing the unspeakable.

And for those who suspect a coverup, Kash insists he’s not the one.

“I got here 100 days ago. I can’t be held to account for 20 years of failures.”

He says some tapes may never have existed. Others may have been destroyed. But if you’re hoping the FBI has an ace up its sleeve, the message is clear: Don’t hold your breath.

Others may have been destroyed.

My guess is if those tapes had Trump on them or any Republican, then we'd know about them when the NY Times, Washington Post, etc drops the shock story.

So this tells me that those tapes likely were destroyed by pro-establishment directors Mueller, Comey and/or Wray since likely it incriminates the types like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Soros, etc.

There is no way Comey would have gotten his multi million dollar book deal with a Democrat publishing company if he did release those tapes and it incriminated Democrats and/or the establishment.

.

This is convenient: come into power on proclamations that Epstein tapes 100% real then declare they were deleted.

What were these original proclamations based on? Revealed in the dream?

Clown world.

Are we distracted by LA riots enough to forget about Epstein files yet?

What Epstein files?

Who cares about either unless you were trafficked and raped or live in the shit hole that's LA? No one outside of CA cares about the riots as they let the homeless shit and piss on the street. Epstein isn't going anywhere legally with a supposed "list" that proves nothing. LA riots will die down. It's all nothing burger stuff.

Everybody in MAGA cared so much about Epstein list not so long ago. Especially before Nov 05, 2024....

RWSGFY says

Who's the man?

I meant men. Like Bill Gates and Bill Clinton.

I didn't and have posted exactly why even though I generally like Trump. Not one counter that I recall from anyone. There will be no list. They cannot prove anyone went to the island. They'd get sued. There will be no arrests. Epstein went to jail for trafficking.

Reality is it could have been for his own use or lesser known individuals. Some famous people flew on a buddies plane. That's not uncommon if you have a buddy with a plane. Not many do, so they think it's weird. It's normal. Likely free flights to get to a house on St. John and they have proof. Little St. James is a pretty shitty island in person. No I wasn't on it. I've boated around it about 5 times though. Know the lay of the land. Would the average person stay there, yes. The rich and powerful, no.

***Grok can be trained to ignore or emphasize sources. Replies from other people can be rigged.

I've already trained Grok to ignore editorials from the NYT, LA Times, and WaPo. Also trained it to ignore reports that rely on "anonymous sources" since that's all the Left usually relies on. I'm looking for ways to verify AP and Reuters more fully. And I forgot to tell it to completely ignore PBS and NPR. That's next.

I don't want an echo chamber of my personal confirmation bias, but I do want reliable, actual news, not conjecture or supposition.

Patrick says

They've been tied to a chair and their balls have been hosed. The SES shadow government still holds sway and Washington DC is in bureaucratic civil war. Until that civil war is resolved, and the SES abolished (Rockefeller, Trilateral, CIA etc.), none of this will be resolved if even then.

Not an overnight battle, no matter who is Precedent.

Patrick says

She trafficked unknowns that didn't want to be named. Pretty commonplace. If the victim doesn't want their info released that's their right.

Ultimately it's a she said he/she said situation. Releasing names of the victims is senseless. Or giving up the fuckers like Bill Clinton. It's a lose lose case. There's no point. Fact is they don't have definitive evidence of any wrong doing besides words. Good luck convincing 12 jurors without evidence.

I dunno, Bill Gates has done everything he could to protect his fortune. First a divorce and a 50/50 split in assets. Then funneling pretty much everything left over into a charitable foundation with a defined period of spending the assets.

Warren Buffet reneged on his promise to donate his fortune to the Gate's foundation so there's that a least.

That says it all. Gates is a dark triad monomaniac.
