If there were other people involved they'd be in jail. You don't think media has contacts in the FBI that give them access to data via a VPN so the person cannot be tracked or the agent get caught for releasing password/account info? It would have been reported on. All they have is flight logs and assumptions over 20+ years. Getting "10,000" files on Epstein is trivial. I have more comments here in half the time.

Files can also be emails and texts. I have 20x what I have here on pat net. Video, photos, social media, etc. My FBI files and data would likely be 100-200k over the same period of time. My point is they have nothing. 10k files is a joke for a guy his age, well while he was alive.

Also in correspondences people use code words they talk about in person and then can communicate by email or text without it being obvious what it is they are talking about. So any files in text might be useless. We did this shit in high school as kids to hide stuff from parents and teachers. "Are you bringing the side dish of beans?" Beans = sex with someone. Sega for us was weed. "You wanna play some Sega?"

Until someone figures out all the codes used and other tactics that we already know, this is going no where. Remember they put Jared from Subway in prison for lesser, yet still gross crimes. He just had photos. Again still gross. That's why I asked Patrick for the ignore thread capability. That one thread I have no clue if any of the girls are under age. I don't need that in my browsing history.

I'm think that the FBI itself is corrupted. They have the evidence, but have been told to shut up about it.

At every level, the justice system was corrupted to protect Epstein. He was donating large sums to the Palm Beach police department hoping for favorable treatment, and the police chief there thought that Epstein was having people watch him and going through his trash. This is because the Palm Beach police department had done a very good job documenting the testimony of literally hundreds of underage girls.

Then the case was taken over by Kreischer the FL State Attorney and Epstein was given a ridiculously sweet deal, where anyone else would have quickly gone to prison for decades without possibility of parole.

Exactly! He didn't have dirt on so many US billionaires, so he didn't get special treatment.

I think the real key here is Epstein's business of assisting the super-rich with tax evasion.

Jared did well for his state in life. That's who Epstein was dealing with they just weren't famous or less famous than Jared was.

We're not close, but my uncle has $100M of net worth no problem. You wouldn't know him ever. Epstein suckered in wealthy people via the celebrities and politicians. Didn't mean they committed a crime as the politicians and celebrities. It was the lower level people. Not an accusation against my uncle, but that is who they, Maxwell and Epstein targeted. High net worth people no one knew. Low risk.

They got caught trafficking. Everyone wants to see people behind bars tomorrow. This has been going on 20 years plus. Fine they're hiding it and it's a cover up. Another day isn't gonna change a thing. It's a massive payday for a victim. I'm convinced that Maxwell and Epstein were the middle men and women to the end user. Flew celebrities and politicians on a plane to coerce young women to go places. AKA trafficking.

I dislike most the people listed. You can't just assume something nefarious happened. 6 years since Epstein died. This is Trump or even Biden. Biden would have toasted Trump before the debate if he had evidence. He didn't. Witch hunt.

WookieMan says

Biden would have toasted Trump before the debate if he had evidence. He didn't. Witch hunt.

I agree as the same info that the Left wants released is the same info that the Biden DOJ and FBI had access to also.

So if they had that info from 2021 to 2025 then why not release it if it could harm Trump and other Republicans and count on the 24/7 news cycle at CNN to do their bidding

Or is there too much risk as far as collateral damage like to Israeli interests that the NY Times editorial staff would decry antisemitism, so they seal the entire set of the most controversial Epstein files ?

Ehud Barak was Clinton's guy, who sent over DNC Pollster/Campaign specialists to help him defeat Bibi in the late 90s.

Clinton got Barak to introduce a deal that gave 100% of Gaza and 90% of Samaria and Judea (falsely called the West Bank) to the Arabs, and was willing to negotiate the other 90%.

It was supposed to be a big part of Clinton's legacy.

Yassir Arafat rejected it outright, refused to negotiate, and started the second Intifada. Bibi replaced Barak in the next election around 2002-2003 and the two-state non-solution died.

I mention this because Barak's political career ended over 20 years ago.

The CIA and Mossad don't do anything the FSB, MI5, ISI, MSS, etc. do.

Grok on Epstein's tax evasion business:

Epstein positioned himself as a financial advisor and “tax doctor” for billionaires, operating primarily through his firm, Financial Trust Company, based in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI). His wealth, estimated at $578–600 million at his death in 2019, stemmed largely from fees earned from a small number of high-profile clients and tax breaks he secured for himself and others.

Key Mechanisms for Tax Evasion/Minimization

Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs):
What They Are: GRATs are legal financial instruments that allow individuals to transfer assets to heirs with minimal gift or estate taxes. Assets are placed in a trust, which pays the grantor an annuity for a set period, after which remaining assets pass to beneficiaries tax-free if structured correctly.
Epstein’s Role: Epstein was instrumental in setting up GRATs for clients like Leon Black, the Apollo Global Management co-founder. Between 2012 and 2017, Black paid Epstein $158 million for tax and estate planning, including GRATs that reportedly saved Black over $1 billion in potential estate taxes. These payments were often “ad hoc” without formal contracts, raising suspicions of legitimacy.

Controversy: Epstein lacked formal training in accounting or tax law, yet devised complex GRAT structures. Senator Ron Wyden’s investigation noted that these transactions were never audited by the IRS, despite their scale and Epstein’s questionable credentials, suggesting potential oversight failures or favoritism. The lack of written agreements for $100 million of Black’s payments fueled speculation of blackmail or other motives.

Offshore Entities and Tax Havens:
U.S. Virgin Islands Operations: Epstein’s Financial Trust Company and Southern Trust were based in the USVI, where secrecy laws and tax exemptions facilitated wealth concealment. These entities secured $300 million in tax credits from the USVI Economic Development Authority through alleged fraudulent misrepresentations. Epstein’s firms paid only $41 million in taxes from 1999–2018, an effective tax rate of ~4%, compared to the USVI’s top corporate rate of 38.5%.

Offshore Accounts:
The Miami Herald’s Swiss Leaks investigation revealed Epstein held multiple accounts with millions in offshore tax havens. In 1997, he became a client of Appleby, a Bermuda-based law firm specializing in offshore companies for the ultra-wealthy, listed cryptically as a “Manager of Fortune.” These structures likely helped clients shield income from taxation.

Mechanism: Offshore entities allowed Epstein and his clients to defer or avoid U.S. taxes by routing income through jurisdictions with low or no tax obligations, a common strategy for high-net-worth individuals.

Power of Attorney and Asset Management:
Leslie Wexner’s Role: Epstein’s most prominent client was Leslie Wexner, the billionaire behind Victoria’s Secret and L Brands. By 1991, Epstein held full power of attorney over Wexner’s finances, allowing him to sign checks, buy/sell properties, and manage investments. Forbes estimates Wexner paid Epstein at least $200 million in fees through 2007, with some sources suggesting higher amounts.

Tax Benefits: Epstein likely structured Wexner’s wealth to minimize tax liabilities, possibly through trusts, real estate transfers, or offshore accounts. For example, Wexner transferred a $77 million Manhattan townhouse to Epstein in 2011 for nominal or no cost, potentially as a tax-advantaged gift or payment.

Unusual Relationship: The extent of Epstein’s control over Wexner’s finances, despite his lack of formal credentials, raised questions. Associates like Robert Morosky found Epstein’s rapid rise from a high school math teacher to financial advisor puzzling, suggesting his influence may have involved more than financial acumen.

Other Tax Strategies:
Real Estate and Investments: Epstein’s wealth included properties valued at over $200 million (Manhattan mansion, Palm Beach estate, USVI islands, New Mexico ranch, Paris apartment). These were likely used for tax write-offs or as vehicles for asset protection. His $40 million investment in Peter Thiel’s Valar Ventures grew to $170 million, possibly structured to defer capital gains taxes.

Charitable Contributions: Epstein’s C.O.U.Q. Foundation donated to organizations like the Palm Beach police and Clinton Foundation, potentially securing tax deductions while building influence. Tax records show Wexner’s foundations funneled $21 million to Epstein’s charity, which may have served as a tax-advantaged conduit.

Key Clients

Leslie Wexner: The primary source of Epstein’s wealth, contributing an estimated 75% of his fee income alongside Leon Black from 1999–2018. Epstein’s management of Wexner’s billions included tax planning, philanthropy, and asset management.

Leon Black: Paid Epstein $158 million for tax strategies, including GRATs, saving billions in estate taxes. The Senate Finance Committee flagged these payments as unusually high and poorly documented.

His services likely extended to other unnamed billionaires, given his exclusive focus on ultra-wealthy clients.

Controversies and Allegations
Fraudulent Tax Credits: The USVI Attorney General sued Epstein’s estate, alleging his firms misrepresented qualifications to obtain $300 million in tax credits, part of which funded his criminal activities. JPMorgan Chase settled for $105 million in 2022 for enabling Epstein’s enterprises, and the estate repaid $80 million in tax benefits.

Blackmail Speculation: Some, including Trump supporters and Senator Wyden, speculated Epstein’s high fees (e.g., $100 million without contracts from Black) were payments for blackmail rather than legitimate tax work, given his access to compromising information. No concrete evidence supports this, but the lack of IRS audits fuels suspicion.

Towers Financial Ponzi Scheme: In the late 1980s, Epstein worked with Steven Hoffenberg at Towers Financial, a Ponzi scheme that defrauded $460 million from investors. While Hoffenberg was convicted, Epstein was never charged, raising questions about how he avoided scrutiny and whether early tax schemes were involved.

Lack of Transparency: Epstein’s firm released no audited financial statements, and his wealth’s full extent remains unclear. Some associates claim he hid assets offshore, while others question if his fortune was overstated.

I thought of a tax evasion scam myself: If someone had control over the official trading records at a brokerage, he could find losing trades and change the trader to be the person who wants to evade taxes.

Say some random person A loses a million dollars on a stock trade. That loss itself is worth the taxes on a million dollars, if the loss can be reassigned so that the records show the loss belongs to person B who wants to avoid taxes, instead of the true investor A who actually took the loss.

Recently leaked emails from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak show that he and Jeffrey Epstein discussed arranging a meeting with Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel in 2014. The emails were part of a cache of over 100,000 messages hacked and released by the group Handala in May 2025.
Details from the leaked emails:
Failed meeting: In May 2014, while coordinating an investment in a security company, Epstein invited Barak to meet with Thiel. Barak was unable to attend that particular meeting.
Epstein's persistence: Following the failed meeting, Epstein insisted that Barak "spend real time with peter thiel" and offered to organize a dinner for them the following month. The outcome of this proposed dinner is not indicated in the available information.
Epstein's agenda: According to reporting by Reason magazine, the leaked emails portray Epstein as a person eager to operate at the intersection of private wealth and public surveillance. He used his relationship with Barak to seek opportunities in the surveillance industry and to connect with powerful figures, including Thiel.
Thiel's previous comments: Thiel told The Wall Street Journal in 2023 that he had met with Epstein on more than one occasion in 2014 for networking purposes. He stated that he "didn't think enough about what Epstein's agenda might have been," but did not mention Barak's involvement in these meetings.
The broader context of the Barak email leak also reveals additional information about his relationship with Epstein:
Financial ties: Epstein invested in Reporty Homeland Security, a business venture with Barak, in 2015.
Discussions of allegations: Contrary to Barak's public claims in 2019 that he was unaware of Epstein's alleged activities, the emails show he had been alerted to sexual allegations against Epstein years earlier.
Private island visits: Emails also discussed Barak's visit to Epstein's private island, Little St. James, with Barak referring to it as an "impressive island".

Epstein invested in Reporty Homeland Security, a business venture with Barak

Yandex AI

Reporty Homeland Security is a security tech startup founded in 2014. In 2015, it changed its name to Carbyne. The company develops call-handling and identification capabilities for emergency response services.

Some of the company's features are:

Live video streaming and geolocation data. When a distress call is made, Carbyne’s system can provide the 911 dispatcher with the caller’s precise GPS location, live video feed from the caller’s smartphone camera, audio streaming, text messaging, and other telemetry in parallel with the voice call.
Indoor positioning. The platform can locate callers inside buildings.

Integration of additional data sources. Carbyne integrates IoT sensors or surveillance feeds to give a comprehensive picture of an incident in real time.

The company's leadership includes several notable figures from both the tech sector and government. The CEO and chairman is Amir Elichai, a former Israeli Army officer who served in the special elite forces and the intelligence corps. The former chairman of Carbyne was Ehud Barak, a former Prime Minister of Israel.

The company has faced scrutiny due to its connections with Jeffrey Epstein, American tech investor Peter Thiel, and concerns over its ties to Israeli intelligence.

https://newspaste.com/2019/07/18/nicole-junkerman-the-idf-linked-bond-girl-infiltrating-the-uk-nhs/

(Originally published on Vocal.Media, this heavily censored article was the first part of a trilogy investigating Nicole Junkermann and examining her links with Jeffrey Epstein, Israeli intelligence and the UK NHS Healthtech Advisory Board led by UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock MP. This article was eventually pulled down and censored by Vocal.Media.) ...

She appears to be a German-born Israeli state intelligence operative based in London. ...

The rarest occurrence was when Epstein would fly without any of his usual entourage and just one other passenger. There was only one name that jumped out from the flight manifest as a good example of when Epstein alternated from his routine. His second meeting with Nicole Junkermann. ...

it’s her second trip which really stands out. On Saturday 31 August 2002, Jeffrey Epstein and Nicole Junkermann would fly from Paris Le Bourget Airport to Birmingham Airport, in the UK, alone. They would return to Paris, via the same route, on Monday 2 September 2002. For Jeffrey Epstein to fly without any of his normally present entourage is very unusual. So what was happening that weekend? I’ve done a lot of research on these dates, but as of yet, I do not have any answers.

At that time, Junkermann was 27 years old, so it’s very unlikely that they were dating, as everyone knows Jeffrey Epstein isn’t interested in fully sexually developed adults. ...

The link between Nicole Junkermann, the Israeli state intelligence services and the Israeli Defence Force is not a tenuous one. The ominously named “Reporty Homeland Security” was the first incarnation of what has now been rebranded “Carbyne911” and is referred to as simply “Carbyne.” Described as a “global leader in public safety technology,” Carbyne is a call handling platform app that allows you to, amongst other things, stream any ongoing emergency directly to the responding emergency services. It claims, in the information section of a promotional video on YouTube entitled “Nicole Junkermann presents Carbyne,” that it will:

“provide a plug and play solution that allows 911 callers to connect their smartphone features to the emergency operator so that the operator can make a better assessment of the emergency. Location data, audio, camera and video access can be shared, providing the operator with greater detail on the situation. The use of Carbyne’s solution will allow emergency management teams to better triage their cases and improve the utilization of downstream emergency services.” ...

However, they fail to mention how they’ll get the permission to use such masses of available data. Who are these angels behind this revolutionary technology which aims to get between a victim and the emergency services?

One of the directors of Carbyne is Nicole Junkermann. The chairman of the board of directors is Ehud Barak, the 10th Prime Minister of Israel, the 14th Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, former Minister of Defense and former Head of Military Intelligence for Israel.

So, what we get from the Jizzlaine Actress Lite isn't the maximum WOO. This sounds more like real Jizzlaine and what they were really up to: MKUltra and transhumanism genetic manipulation, with bodies as disposable toys and blood/tissue farms and complete borg like obedience aka much more weird, out there, and perverted from the psychopaths. I'm sure Trump and the Guv consider this stuff way beyond population Overtons.

Leese told Hoffenberg about Epstein: "The guy's a genius, he's great at selling securities. And he has no moral compass." ...

I bet Epstein read the 2016 book "Filthy Rich" because it was about himself. And in that book, he would have learned that he was reputed to have "no moral compass".

Then there was a hit piece published on Trump right before the last election, Nov. 2 2024:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/listen-to-the-jeffrey-epstein-tapes-i-was-donald-trumps-closest-friend/

In that, the author quotes Epstein as saying the same thing about Trump:

Epstein on the tapes offers a damning judgment of Trump, telling Wolff, “The moral compass just does not exist.”

I'd bet that that particular insult came to Epstein's mind because he read it in "Filthy Rich".

https://www.thedailybeast.com/everything-trump-has-said-about-why-he-broke-up-with-epstein/

Roger Stone, a former adviser to Trump, gave a chilling account of what Trump claimed to have witnessed at Epstein’s Palm Beach estate.

In Stone’s 2016 book, The Clintons’ War on Women, he wrote that Trump noted to a Mar-a-Lago member after a visit to Epstein’s home that a crowd of girls in the financier’s pool appeared to be underage.

“The swimming pool was filled with beautiful young girls,” Trump said, according to Stone. The book said Trump then jokingly added: “‘How nice,’ I thought, ‘he let the neighborhood kids use his pool.’”

Stone reportedly said in a later appearance on Lindell TV that Trump left Epstein’s place after just 15 minutes because he was “uncomfortable with the mix of younger women and the limited number of men.” It’s unclear when Trump’s supposed visit to Epstein’s home took place.

Stone’s book said Trump was invited to Epstein’s infamous private island, but always declined.

Sounds like Epstein was trying to get blackmail material on Trump, but Trump sidestepped that as far as we know.

Trump added in response to another question that day: “Jeffrey Epstein was not somebody that I respected. I threw him out. In fact, I think the great James Patterson, who is a member of Mar-a-Lago, made a statement yesterday that, many years ago, I threw him out.”

Ah! The author of "Filthy Rich", James Patterson, seems to be a friend of Trump.

https://www.mintpressnews.com/maxwell-family-epstein-mossad-cia/290379/

Isabel built on her father’s political connections. “My father was most influential in my life. He was a very accomplished man and achieved many of his goals during his life. I learned very much from him and have made many of his ways my own,” she said. This included developing intimate ties to a myriad of Israeli leaders, including Ehud Olmert and Ehud Barak, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s closest associates.

Ah, Ghislaine's sister Isabel is friends with Barak, who was literally above Mossad as Defense Minister and then Prime Minister of Israel.

Alex Djerassi, Ghislaine's nephew, is also in US politics:

https://www.mintpressnews.com/maxwell-family-epstein-mossad-cia/290379/

Although she failed in her bid for the White House, President Obama named Hillary Clinton as his Secretary of State, and one of her first actions was to appoint Djerassi to her team. He quickly rose in the ranks, becoming Chief of Staff at the Office of the Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. In this role, he specialized in developing the United States’ policy towards Israel and Iran, although he also worked on the U.S. occupation of Iraq, and accompanied Clinton on visits to Israel and the Arab world. ...

Djerassi was later appointed an associate at the U.S.-government-funded think tank, the Carnegie Endowment for Peace. While there, he again specialized in Middle East policy, his bio noting that he “worked on matters relating to democratization and civil society in the Arab world, the Arab uprisings, and Israeli-Palestinian peace.” Today, he works in Silicon Valley.

An another of Ghislaine's nephews was in the White House:

While Djerassi’s fortunes were tied to the Clinton faction of the Democratic Party, his cousin Xavier Malina (Christine Maxwell’s eldest son) backed the right horse, working on the Obama-Biden 2008 presidential run.

He was rewarded for his good work with a position in the White House itself, where he became a Staff Assistant at the Executive Office of the President. Like his cousin, once his time in office was over, Malina also secured a position at the Carnegie Endowment for Peace before pursuing a career in the tech world, working for many years at Google in the Bay Area. He currently works for Disney.

Given that the Jizzlaine heritage is entirely spook-plex at the highest level, going both back and forwards in the genealogy, do you really think the PTB would allow the original Jizzlaine to spend a single day in prison? Jizzlaine shit we were fed is another movie.

Finally, the mystery is solved!

Leese told Hoffenberg about Epstein: "The guy's a genius, he's great at selling securities. And he has no moral compass." ...

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/jeffrey-epstein-steven-hoffenberg-intelligence-agencies-spy-1197708/

(What Hoffenberg had failed to realize, he told me, is that Epstein would con him. Epstein would take $100 million of Towers money, move it offshore, and meanwhile cooperate with U.S. prosecutors against Hoffenberg, who was unable to do anything about this because he’d pleaded guilty, which meant there was no trial — and therefore no discovery.)

Lol, well, what did he think he was getting by hiring someone with no moral compass?

Ah, Ghislaine said in her recent testimony in prison that Epstein never met her father Robert Maxwell, but Hoffenberg says otherwise:

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/jeffrey-epstein-steven-hoffenberg-intelligence-agencies-spy-1197708/

Hoffenberg told me that Epstein had said he’d worked on several projects with Robert Maxwell, including solving Maxwell’s “debt” issues.

https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/jeffrey-epstein-steven-hoffenberg-intelligence-agencies-spy-1197708/

Epstein had also told Hoffenberg that via Maxwell and Leese he was involved in something that Hoffenberg described as “national security issues,” which he says involved “blackmail, influence trading, trading information at a level that is very serious and dangerous.” ...

But the gist of the claims that you will be able to hear, and ultimately watch in a three-hour documentary series, is that Maxwell, who was himself a conduit between the Israelis and other governments during his life time, introduced Epstein to Israeli leaders, who then allegedly used Epstein as the equivalent of an old-fashioned Russian “sleeper,” someone who could be useful in an “influence campaign.”

The sources, who range from former arms dealers to former spies — and also Hoffenberg — suggest that Epstein, who lacked any sort of moral compass, decided to go one step further and compromise influential people by recording them doing things they wouldn’t want made public. ...

And once he got out of jail, in the last 10 years of his life, Epstein bragged to various people, including journalists, that he was advising a whole assortment of foreign leaders who included Vladimir Putin, Mohammed bin Zayed, Mohammed Bin Salman, various African dictators, Israel, the British — and, of course, the Americans. ...

It’s not wholly surprising therefore that the same sources who say they know he was some sort of intelligence asset say that he became a liability — which is why, possibly, he lost any “protection” and was arrested.

A handful of people I interviewed, including former Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky, maintain that this is exactly what happened to Robert Maxwell, which is why, they say, Maxwell was killed. His financial problems were about to make him vulnerable.

Jeez, here's "moral compass" again:

https://qz.com/1661999/jeffrey-epsteins-ex-mentor-accuses-him-of-fraud

Hoffenberg, a former Trump Tower tenant, started the pro-Trump political action committee Get Our Jobs Back in April of 2016. He said in a FEC filing in June it would conduct a $50 million marketing campaign for Trump. He “left the Trump team” after being disillusioned with their campaign tactics, he told Quartz, and particularly their reliance on Wikileaks. ...

He became a born-again Christian while he was in prison, he told Quartz, and spent years studying the Bible at his wife’s urging. Hoffenberg said he is speaking out now to help the original investors get their money back. The 1997 judgement against him requires him to pay investors back.

“I can’t support people who blatantly break the law. My moral compass today as a born again Christian is very substantial,” he said.

https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-trump-tower/

Steven Hoffenberg, who worked in a 15th-floor suite, remembers his landlord’s tolerance. Trump leased space in 1993 to the debt-collection executive and one-time New York Post suitor months after he was sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission for running what was then one of the biggest Ponzi schemes ever.

“He’s very objective,” said Hoffenberg, who was indicted, went to prison for 18 years and was released in 2013. “Renting space has nothing to do with color or race – or indictment. It has to do with if you can pay the rent.” Hoffenberg, a born-again Christian, promised a $50 million marketing campaign this year when he started a pro-Trump super-PAC, Get Our Jobs Back Inc. So far, that money hasn’t materialized.

Another contradiction from Ghislaine's prison testimony:

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2003/03/jeffrey-epstein-200303

He describes his most public companion of the last decade, Ghislaine Maxwell, 41, the daughter of the late, disgraced media baron Robert Maxwell, as simply his “best friend.” He says she is not on his payroll, but she seems to organize much of his life...

Ghislaine explicitly said she was merely a paid employee of Epstein.

Les Wexner, Epstein's biggest customer and patron, is also very close to Ehud Barak:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wexner_Foundation

In October 2018, Israeli reporter Erel Segal reported that $2.3 million had been transferred to Ehud Barak for unknown work between 2004 and 2006 by the Wexner Foundation, which had described the money transfer as payment for research.[4] On October 29 Maariv (through its Israeli radio station) reported that Barak had been given the funds while he was a private citizen and the fund transfer is under investigation.

https://slaynews.com/news/epsteins-victims-go-public-push-release-sealed-files/

Victims of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will appear at a Capitol Hill news conference on Wednesday.

It comes as momentum builds in Congress to force the release of sealed files tied to Epstein’s decades-long sex trafficking scandal.

The press event, featuring survivors alongside Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), comes amid a bipartisan effort to use a procedural motion known as a discharge petition to compel a House vote demanding the Justice Department release the files. ...

The move comes just as the House Oversight Committee released nearly 34,000 pages of Epstein-related documents. ...

Massie dismissed the sudden document dump, saying:

“They haven’t given us anything. There’s nothing new here.”

He and Khanna accused leadership of trying to blunt their push to force a real vote on releasing the full Epstein files. ...

Khanna argued the victims’ testimony will cut through political gamesmanship.

“These victims haven’t spoken for decades,” Khanna said in a statement.

“When Epstein got that lenient plea deal, no one talked to the victims or their lawyers. ...

“There are a lot of other rich, powerful men, politicians, business leaders, who have committed abuse and who have not been held accountable,” Khanna added. ...

“This is about justice for the victims of rich and powerful men who abused underage girls…

“In this country, people want transparency. They want accountability.”

Meanwhile, GOP leadership has introduced its own resolution to continue the Oversight Committee’s investigation, a move Massie blasted as “political cover” for lawmakers unwilling to back his bipartisan legislation.

For years, speculation has swirled about who else may have been involved in Epstein’s network of wealthy, powerful figures.

Now, with victims preparing to go before cameras, Khanna and Massie believe the pressure on Congress and the Justice Department may finally force answers.

My expectation is for yet more obfuscation, obstruction, and corruption. But it's important to keep the attention on Epstein going for as long as it takes.

Massie didn't get the votes he needed. Epstein delayed a while longer.

Luna said “Slavic foreign governments were named working with Epstein.” What do you want to bet one of those Slavic foreign governments has a fake, corruptocratic president whose name rhymes with “Smellensky?” I’d bet Michelle’s Tahoe on it.

Don’t overlook the tweet’s significance: Luna dropped “international trafficking networks,” “immigration fraud,” the US Treasury, and Deutsche Bank. In other words, she described a state-sponsored, big-dollar, international conspiracy— not just gigabytes of grotesque child porn that ‘somehow’ found their way into the now-useless FBI files during Biden’s tenure.

Remember: Bondi never said there was no Epstein conspiracy. She just said that evidence wasn’t in the FBI files. It appears Republicans are quietly redoing the Epstein investigation, except properly and methodically this time.

For some reason, some conservative black-pillers buy the Democrats’ theory that the “Epstein files” contain some sort of Trump-killing smoking gun. For the life of me, I will never understand why. If that were true, why didn’t Biden use that smoking gun to erase Trump’s political existence? (Democrats cling to a far-fetched theory about unidentified Trump holdovers at FBI shielding the smoking-gun documents during the interregnum.) You guys are on your own with that theory; have at it in the comments.

Can you see what kind of magic is happening here? Democrats are now hanging on every new release from Republicans, carefully reviewing all the trickled-out Epstein material (trying to find their smoking gun, but still). And —this is the most important point— if they ever want to hang Trump with Epstein’s prison sheet, Democrats will have to demand justice for all other names as they surface, too.

Does anyone really believe that Democrats’ fascination with this story happened on accident? Or because President Trump —whose DOJ arrested Epstein— really fears the facts? You really think Congressional Republicans like Anna Paulina Luna and James Comer are defying some Trump directive to “bury the Epstein story?”

It looks to me like the Epstein story is being disclosed, just slowly and painfully, and not in the way we’d pictured it. And somehow the Democrats have come onside with Republicans in demanding justice. It’s a kind of miracle.

There’s too many powerful intel people who don’t want it out. Dragging it out is what they do.

Let's not release the Epstein Files now because they weren't released under Biden.

Makes perfect sense.

Epstein Victims and Survivors Speak Out for the FIRST TIME – Announce They Will RELEASE Their OWN Client List to Expose the Elite Pedophile Ring Cover-Up

A group of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims broke decades of silence on Wednesday, stepping forward to demand justice and transparency from the government and vowing to release their own client list if the political establishment continues to stonewall.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported in May that FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino ignited a firestorm across conservative circles after publicly backing the official narrative that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide.

In July, a new FBI/DOJ memo obtained by Axios concludes Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list that he used for blackmail. The FBI also determined that Epstein did commit suicide in August 2019.

The FBI memo says there is no evidence that Epstein blackmailed powerful political figures. Additionally, the memo suggests that no further Epstein records will be released.

“The DOJ and FBI say in the memo that no “further disclosure” of Epstein-related material “would be appropriate or warranted,”” Axios reported.

On Wednesday, Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) hosted a press conference alongside ten survivors of Epstein’s abuse. Also present was Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Rep. Khanna claims support is growing on both sides of the aisle, with 212 Democrats and 12 Republicans expressing willingness to act.

This comes as the House Oversight Committee confirmed the Department of Justice had turned over an additional 33,000 pages of Epstein-related documents under subpoena.

For the first time, survivors of Epstein’s network of abuse addressed the American people directly.

“We know the names. Many of us were abused by them. We will compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world, and it will be done by survivors and for survivors; no one else involved.”
