Massie, Khanna demand full release of Epstein files, will try to force House vote Tuesday

Bondi and Blanche must go...soon! I'm with you Tom! Use whatever means necessary to rid the DOJ of these ... these ... these ... creatures. When Trump started asserting no Republicans would be implicated by releasing the Epstein files, the fix was already in play. Obviously, neither Trump nor his administration can be trusted.

For a narcissist like Trump, the only cure is isolation. Let him watch his rallies shrink. Let people exclude and avoid him. Yes, he'll likely throw a missy fit and call people names, but tough luck. In fact, Trump might even start a war just for the attention. Turn him off! (amap)

Since the government is going to redact the Epstein Files, we should redact our taxes. It's none of the government's business where we got our money.

Clinton doesn't want the Epstein files released any more than Trump does.

This guy is right (bold emphasis added):

The Epstein files game theory is extremely funny

Whatever's in there is clearly damaging enough to both sides that they both know it can never ACTUALLY be released unredacted

So this means the optimal strategy is for the party who's not in power to troll the shit out of the party in power over releasing them ([because] they know they can't actually do it)

"wow just wow. The fact you won't release these files means you're complicit in infinite pedophilia. You can tell I'm innocent though, because I'm strongly pushing for them to be released"

"Uhhh... Didn't you just sit on this for like 4 years without releasing them too though?"

"You are a rapist pedophile, shame on you"

They'll probably cycle back and forth like this for another 2-3 election cycles until all the people implicated in the files are dead or irrelevant and then just release the whole thing uncensored to an audience of people who are at this point too bored to care

This guy is right (bold emphasis added):

What they're doing to Clinton is insinuation, and what Clinton is doing is fighting insinuation with insinuation. This sort of thing often happens when both major parties are crooked and evil as hell.

Maybe. Maybe not. What was released by Trump's DOJ slanted more anti-Clinton than anti-Trump. Under those circumstances it's understandable why Clinton would now want full disclosture.

Exactly!

Of course it did.

And anything that would have been released by a Democrat DOJ would have slanted more anti-Trump than anti-Clinton.

Under those circumstances it's understandable why Clinton would now want full disclosture.

He doesn't want full disclosure. He doesn't want any significant disclosure.

But he knows they won't fully or significantly disclose - not voluntarily, anyway - so he knows he's safe to posture as if that's what he wants.

I feel like there's a lot of talk about the redaction and holding back of Epstein files as a means of protecting elites (whether they be guilty or innocent). But the more this gets talked about as the obvious reason, the less people talk about the other option, which is concealing whatever connections there were between Epstein and the intelligence agencies of the US and/or other countries.

It's like everybody wants to say what they think about Option A, to the point that they're going out of their way to talk about it and give some opinion about who's being protected, who's being implicated, whether that's bad or good, and blah blah blah, to the point that it drowns out anybody trying to talk about Option B.

Of course, Option A and B are not mutually exclusive. But still, Option B needs to be part of the discussion. And it's probably the more important issue.

FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES: DOJ VS. FBI - AND THE MASK SLIPS

Buried in the Epstein files is an email chain that does more damage than any name list.

Federal prosecutors inside the U.S. Attorney’s Office are trying to get a basic inventory of the electronic evidence seized from Epstein’s properties - computers, hard drives, disks, the digital nervous system of the operation.

And they can’t get it.

At one point, frustration boils over into honesty:

“The FBI is completely fucking us on this.”

That’s not a tweet. That’s an internal DOJ message.

Translation: the prosecutors responsible for bringing cases did not have a clear, reliable accounting of the evidence in the FBI’s possession.

Not what was seized. Not what was imaged. Not what was searchable. Not what was missing.

This isn’t incompetence in a vacuum. It’s structural.

Evidence control is power. Whoever controls the data controls the pace, the scope, and the fallout.

And remember: Epstein died before trial. Maxwell was prosecuted narrowly. No broader conspiracy case ever materialized.

Prediction: this is why. Not because the evidence didn’t exist- but because it never cohered into something prosecutors could safely touch without detonating their own case.

The scandal isn’t just who was on the tapes. It’s that even the feds couldn’t tell you where the tapes went.

That’s not a cover-up movie plot. That’s a system quietly eating itself.

But the FBI is under the DOJ. The parties involved in this email chain are all subsets of the DOJ. So it wasn't FBI vs. DOJ. It was DOJ subset #1 (FBI) vs. DOJ subset #2 (federal prosecutors). Whichever of these parties was successful in getting its way over against the other party had to have the support of William Barr at that time, and by extension, Donald Trump.
