The Epstein hoax is now one million files greater. 
Epstein Party Moved to Mar-a-Lago
Never Been on Epstein’s Plane
DOJ Lie of the Day
It’s Just a Million
Today, the Wall Street Journal reports DOJ Finds a Million More Epstein Files It Needs to Review
The release of the government’s Jeffrey Epstein files was supposed to deliver a full accounting, once and for all, of an era-defining scandal that has reached all the way to the White House and deepened Americans’ distrust of elites and institutions.
Instead, the ham-handed publication process that began on Friday is sowing further doubts among the public about the government’s commitment to full transparency as well as its competence at handling the unwieldy and unprecedented task.
As of Wednesday, they still had more than a million documents to go. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecutors had uncovered more files that needed to be checked, and it would take a few more weeks for lawyers “working around the clock” to ready them for release, the Justice Department said Wednesday in a post on X.
In a sign of the strain, Justice Department leadership made an “emergency request” on Tuesday—two days before Christmas—for field prosecutors to join the effort of reviewing and redacting documents.
In yet another snafu, it was soon discovered that some of the redacted materials could be unredacted simply by copying and pasting them into a new document. Within days, internet sleuths were posting the workaround on social media—alongside withering criticism of the government. “Some Epstein files can be unredacted with this trick. They are so incompetent,” posted one Instagram user.
Congress, MAGA supporters and Epstein victims had long been calling for the government to open its files—even after the FBI and Justice Department officials announced in July that there was no “client list,” warned that the files contained child pornography and said no further documents warranted release.
Notably, the initial tranche featured hardly any files that referenced Trump, once a close friend of Epstein. But it did show several dated photos of Clinton, including pictures of him swimming in a pool with Maxwell and lounging in a hot tub with a woman whose face was redacted.
The Justice Department told the Journal that “bad actors gained unauthorized access to a private DOJ website.” The files were rereleased on Tuesday, a cache of more than 30,000 pages, including some that referenced Trump.
Michael Flynn presses Trump, Bondi, Wiles on Epstein
The Hill reports Michael Flynn presses Trump, Bondi, Wiles on Epstein response: ‘This is a disaster’
Former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn on Tuesday urged President Trump and other top administration officials to ratchet up their response to the case surrounding convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Flynn, who briefly served as Trump’s national security adviser in 2017, called for more accountability in response to the latest release of documents in the Epstein case.
“Ok, I’ll buy that Epstein is dead (for now),” Flynn posted on X, echoing conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s death in 2020.
“But if a former president or presidents of any country or other ‘elites’ are part of child rape and sexual abuse, I’m not someone you want as your enemy,” Flynn added.
“It isn’t about Epstein and democrats, it is about child sexual abuse by morally depraved psychopaths who think they rule the world. They don’t, we do!” he continued. “@realDonaldTrump deal with this issue front and center @AGPamBondi this is a disaster. @SusieWiles get a grip on this issue, it is not going away.”
Accusation of the Day
The Trump Rule
In unrelated news, please note The Trump Rule: “Anybody that disagrees with me will never be the Fed Chairman!”
One of my favorite quotes from the intro to D.C. the Dark City (2017):
“…Politicians know the benefits of directed distraction, and a complicit mass media. Distraction is the veil shrouding whatever the military-industrial-political complex doesn’t want you to know. Distraction enables covert activities out in the open. We look, but we don’t see what is real, and what is not. Like fools, we run after counterfeit news, and believe every word, until the same mass media that projected the lies recants, or are proven to be liars; or we simply forget.
It is inherent within the powerless to believe very powerful men must be corrupt by nature—human inequity and instinctive envy are sufficient causes…”
Btw, the underlying plot is there is sexual abuse of children by the rich and powerful’ but to see it, you must be on the inside–hence the book is an insider view–which can be very disturbing to read.
In Trumps interview with Howard Stern regarding sex with young women, Trump stated “I have no age limit”.
Obstruction of justice is a crime. Collusion to obstruct justice is a RICO Act violation.
Welcome to the Trump / Bondi Pedophile Protection Department
How old-exactly- is a “young woman’? AI says:
“A young woman typically refers to a female who is in her late teenage years to early twenties, generally around the ages of 18 to 25. This term indicates that she has transitioned from being a girl to an adult”.
So, Frosty, reasonably Trump was referring to any female between 18 and 25.
Um, where, EXACTLY, does it say ‘sexual abuse of children’?
Until the redactions reveal words to that effect, you are making shit up.
“…young female models and actresses, including a former Russian model…” does not mean sexual abuse of children. That is your perverted mind at work.
Take time to read before posting bro. “I” did not write what you quoted. That was in the article. Sheese.
I apologize for misconstruing your comment.
When one posts an inflammatory quote, it is generally to present ‘proof’ of one’s opinion, unless, of course, you were demonstrating its idiocy.
However, it also shows the impact of media influencers. They are driving this entire ‘distraction’ by fabricating false narratives, unsupported by actual evidence. Such opinions are sucked up by believers and repeated again and again. The worst offenders are people like Candace Owens–they are all about clicks and money.
So business as usual. You are surprised?
Everything from the title of the article to the URL below is indented inside the post. This means that the entire content is from the referenced article. When I created the post, I use the double quote you see at the bottom when you make a post. This puts a vertical line next to what was quoted, showing that it is not original content from the poster.
However, that vertical bar, which would be helpful, does not seem to be maintained after completing the post. Mish should look into this.
Is that your answer or the one AI fed you? We see your methods
Merry Christmas everyone
I’ve long figured that if there were anything illegal in Trump’s behavior with Epstein, it would have been released during Biden’s term. If that’s wrong, fine by me. Follow the leads wherever they go. I wouldn’t expect Bari Weiss’ CBS news to uncover anything Israel wants kept under wraps, but some enterprising sleuths might bring things to light.
Merrick Garland was a disaster and the Biden admin still believed in an independent judiciary. The rest is Republican projection.
“…Biden admin still believed in an independent judiciary….
Does it get any funnier? I mean, after RussiaGate… the DOJ is ‘independent.’
Why review? Just release them. Unredacted.
To protect the guilty and deprive the victims of justice…
The guilty can accurately be spelled “their corporate owners”
Is this what you consider ‘Due Process’?
Is ‘yes’, then from now on, the ‘files’ on every crime must be released to the public unredacted.
Well, a merry Christmas for some of us. Thanks. Popcorn instead of turkey this year!
if accurate – it may be that DJT is not much different than WJC
Wag the Dog included
Replacing Trump with Vance is like shitting in your pants and changing your shirt to get rid of the smell.
Replacing Biden with Any Other Democrat, was simply more shitting in your pants. We stopped that smell from emanating any further… It smells absolutely fantastic Now, just like The Beautiful New Year that it ahead of America!!!
The Merriest of Christmas to ALL!
I’m not sure you’re correct, Frosty, but either way, that’s funny.
Having made the claim, I challenge you to back it up with evidence, not the stuff in your pants.
Still waiting for the evidence, Frosty.
Evidence of future actions? What kind of magic do you believe in?
So sick and tired of hearing about Epstein and the files. What’s the point? We all know that Trump is lying but that it doesn’t matter anyways. The Dems will go to their graves trying to stick some charge on teflon Trump. It’s just not possible, so stop wasting time on this circus.
The honest truth is that many men would like young booty and would have joined an Epstein party if invited. How young is the question? Massachusetts allows marriage at age 14. Hawaii and Missouri at 15. All three with parental consent and court approval. Many more states allow marriage at 16, but with just parental consent.
P.S. Saw a news story that people have figured out how to easily remove the Justice Dept redaction, so all photos and names should be revealed shortly. Party on, Garth!
Paedophile ring in the government blackmailed and controlled by foreign force must be removed to maintain the richest and strongest country in the world.
What if it’s controlled by a domestic force?
What’s the point indeed of going after people that committed a crime? Does that also go for illegal immigrant criminals, or only for the billionaire class? If they should be treated differently, at what wealth level do we say “lock them up” and when do we say “what’s the point”?
The point is :
Racial discrimination.
Double standard.
Rampant corruption.
They already have the ringleaders. One is dead and one is in jail, at least for the moment.
Do you want to go after all the “John’s”? Or only the ones who are important people in the world?
If you go after the “John’s” in general, then that sets a precedent that must apply to all prostitution work.
And the media still wouldn’t publish their names. Here in the land of wokeness and DEI that I live in, the local paper won’t publish the names or descriptions of any criminals in its daily “Police blotter” list. Criminals are generically referred to as “Someone”! Don’t want to embarass any criminals now. Or help them be caught by providing a description that might seem racist.
For all you know, Epstein is/was the fall guy, not a ringleader.
If you took the time to actually THINK about it, why would the most powerful people in the world expose themselves by associating with a known child (15-y-old) molester? They would make him the fall guy, while they go unnoticed.
However, since Epstein ‘died’ before a trial, we will never know unless EXPLICIT evidence comes to hand. Until then, he is innocent until proven guilty.
By the way, that the local paper won’t publish the names or descriptions of any criminals in its daily “Police blotter” list” might refer to SUSPECTS. Not convicted criminals.
Alternatively, their families are not guilty of a crime, and should not be punished.
Exactly why the perp should think twice before commiting crimes. Fear of shame and loss of community reputation used to help reduce crime.
I say, bring back the public stocks!
Let’s hang the families of a ‘pedo’ at the same time. Imagine the spectacle. Kids, grandparents swinging in the breeze. Distant cousins pilloried.
Stop the crime by punishing the relatives. I love the approach.
14 year olds can get birth control without question. A decent fraction of 14 year old girls are certain they know everything worth knowing. Women themselves can’t decide if they are “strong and powerful” or delicate flowers in need of safe spaces.
Therefore there is much turmoil in the land.
So it’s the 14 year old girls’ fault, not the the world’s elite, powerful, and rich…
How’s that boot taste?
I agree
How about the DOJ concentrate on the estimated 9 Billion $ Somali Waltz fraud?
Hope you all had a Happy Hanukkah & A Merry Christmas to all!
And if you celebrate Kwanzaa, I can’t help you
Exactly. We seem to have forgotten that Playboy magazine often had 18 year old women posing completely naked and men were buying up those magazines by the millions. Now we’re supposed to act all enraged because these rich men wanted a young woman? Virtually every man who doesn’t need viagra would go for one of these women and if their parents consented, the men could marry their 16 year old girlfriend. An 18 year old woman is only a “girl” when it suits some outrage about how life was only a few years ago.
Here we get to the part where the creepers defend statutory rape
No one is defending ‘statutory rape,’
FYI, from Cornell U Law:
Statutory rape is a generic term, and different jurisdictions use different statutory terms for the crime, such as rape of a child (ROAC), sexual assault (SA), unlawful sex with a minor (USWAM), corruption of a minor (COAM), and carnal knowledge of a minor (CKOAM).
At present, the ONLY statutory rape evidence concerns two 15-y-o girls Epstein hired for ‘massages.’ He plead guilty, so the case was never heard, except for awarding minimal punishment. If more evidence emerges, that changes. Otherwise, statutory rape remains your fantasy.
Thanks for that, creeper
No, actually, ‘we don’t all know.’ In fact, we know very little. We think we know because that is our bias. Assuming a fact based on your bias is about as dumb as it gets, and makes you look stupid when real facts come out. The actual facts in the Epstein case are few and far between.
Around your ‘facts,’ you build more assumptions, more likely to be wrong, than right. The problem is history backs that up.
RussiaGate was 100% fraudulent. Just about everyone fell for it. Using the Democratic headquarters files as a simple example… the transfer rate of files (time stamped) was the same as a Windows write to a thumb drive, not an internet download. Ergo, INSIDE JOB. The entire Russia-is-evil narrative collapses.
The only charge that will stick on Trump is an explosive one, for example C4
The Epstein party at Trump’s estate in Palm Beach was in 2000 according to the records
Recall around 2003 Trump had broken ties with Epstein which was when Trump was hired by NBC for The Apprentice.
So someone claims she was raped by Trump when she called the FBI in 9 October 2020.
If she is not credible, then one could claim the call was politically motivated and based on a false allegation, given it was about a month before the Presidential election in 2020.
What do you all propose that we do then? However bad Trump may be in terms of playing with young girls (who probably weren’t all that innocent anyway), we need him to deal with people who are much worse, in much more serious ways. These people want to destroy civilization.
I propose we treat pedos, those who want to destroy the constitution, and those who run government for personal gain like …
pedos, those who want to destroy the constitution, and those who run government for personal gain.
That means we need to stop making idiotic excuses for this man.
The constitution died a long time ago Mish. The citizenry are just as corrupt & immoral as those who lead them. There is absolutely no crime worse than this, it’s peak satanism, even the vilest criminals use crimes against children as a morality wash by brutally attacking those who are guilty of harming the children. This is the end of a system so corrupt, so evil & so degenerate it’s only path is death.
Actually, although tough guys in prison may get kicks out of beating up or killing pedos, I think the government actually often uses them in the secret service. My uncle was a senior colonial policeman in a rather primitive part of the world. He told us that the secret service representatives who turned up there always seemed to either be drunks or like little boys.
Christian missionaries who ran isolated missions among primitive people also often had a great many children with the native girls, I believe.
I think you need to make a distinction between harming little children and playing with girls who are old enough to know what they are doing, and in fact do know what they are doing. I realize that a lot of these girls do have a powerful economic motive, i.e. they need the cash.
“… There is absolutely no crime worse than this, it’s peak satanism, even the vilest criminals use crimes against children as a morality wash…”
A similar statement occurs in D.C. the Dark City (2017), which is purported to be fiction. However, the similarities to Epstein are more than prophetic:
“…powerful people using mutually assured blackmail to consolidate and expand their positions. Since nothing is worse than child abuse, it is the basis of extortion. DC, the Dark City deals with unimaginable abuse, the seduction, rape, torture, and murder of the innocent and unprotected by powerful and wealthy people…”
In the 1970s, I was part of a church-organized anti-Communist youth group in an Australian university. That was a time when it still seemed very possible that Communism could take over the world, and most academics and a lot of other people were careful to make sure that there was nothing on their record that a Communist government might take offence at.
Later I spoke to an industrial organizer who told me that a certain union leader was a “thug.” I happened to have the opportunity to speak to a friend from university activist days who had gone on to work in the perhaps shady world of anti-Communist trade union activities, and asked him about this. He said, “Well, he’s not a very nice man. But leaders often aren’t.” I have been inclined to take this view about Trump. He may not be someone you would want your daughter to marry, but he is competent, which is more than you can say for most politicians, except if you are judging them by their ability to deceive the public.
You have a daughter?
Was that youth group affiliated with Bob Santamaria?
Next thing you’ll be identifying me, Pete.
Amen
Mish,
I assume ‘this man’ refers to Trump, but maybe you mean Epstein. If you have substantive evidence, not media hearsay, produce it. Epstein’s two 15-y-o girls in Miami do not have a connection with Trump as far as I am aware.
By the way, payouts to various women declaring themselves victims in the past does not count for evidence until they present themselves in court.
You Arthur are a total degenerate.
Or very insightful, by getting beyond hyperbole and stereotype. His observation about secret service ‘types’ is not surprising. Why?
This is getting so weird that we now have to wonder if the tech elites were always just playing 4D chess with us…using populist clown trump as their vessel, with all of this being one great scheme designed to get their real tool JD Vance into the big chair ASAP. Whoever thinks that what I just said is crazy hasn’t been paying attention since the Butler ruse, the global scamdemic, and earlier.
If Trump resigns in March 2027 so JD can have the last two years of Trump’s term and a shot at two full terms of his own then you might have a case.
I don’t see Trump ever ever resigning.
I always thought Biden’s cabinet would 25th him out of office two years and a day into his term. I guess Sullivan and Blinken were having too much fun being president. Trump won’t resign, but he could be convicted in an impeachment. Whether or not Vance takes over before 2028, if he has any hope of being elected in 2028, he needs to separate himself from Trump. It’s not like Trump can fire him.
The “Butler ruse” left one innocent guy and one patsy dead. Elements of the FBI had to be involved, with the intent being the nomination of a Haley/Pompeo ticket. Tech bros may have manipulated Vance into position but when it became known that Trump was going to pick Vance, not Haley, Crooks was activated by the deep state. If Trump had picked Haley for VP and won, Trump would have been assassinated after being inaugurated. Now that Trump has bombed Iran and is poised to try to topple Maduro, it might seem implausible that the Deep State worried about Trump getting back into office, but he’s still doing things they don’t like – like lightening our footprint in Romania and not arming Ukraine to the degree they want.
Butler could easily be what it looked like, an incompetent Secret Service of DEI hires. It is funny how people blame the FBI and not the CIA, whose expertise lies in whacking foreign leaders and regime change.
Everything about Crooks was wiped clean and no mention of him ever again. It wasn’t a lone wackjob. We don’t know what happened at all.
My point, exactly. We KNOW very little; we make up a lot more. In fact, we don’t know it wasn’t a ‘lone wackjob.’
The site was wiped. Crooks has almost no background suggesting guilt, or motivation. One remotely possible explanation, and impossible to prove, Crooks was under very deep hypnosis.
Someone should feed these redacted files into a good AI program along with the other released files and known names associated with this scandal. The AI should be able to guess the most probable redacted words/names and provide an unredacted file just based on the number of redacted characters.
It may find “Eyes Wide Shut” is how the elite really live.
Guess based on what exactly? Public appearances with Epstein determines guilt by association. Hardly justice, and hardly evidence.
Time to go to war….
The slow painful death of the US.
Wildly entertaining though. Too bad there had to be untold thousands of victims to get the corruption to rise to the surface.
“Thousands of victims”? I think muchless. Perhaps couple hundred, if that. And questionable if they should be referred to as victims.
If we know about 1200, then there were at least triple that. Plus there were probably sub-rings, and competing operations. Think about all the foreign operations that eventually provided the “talent” to the top scumbags. Plus all the people who were silenced permanently or even “slightly” victimized in order to keep things under wraps. Yes, there were easily thousands of victims here.
Try hiding your ‘rings’.
Commonsense alone will limit the scale of operations. A hundred pedophiles are NOT needed for control–just a few very important/powerful/wealthy men.
BTW, the secret (sex) societies of London (18th-19th century) had a few dozen members, with a handful at the top, eg. aristocrats, judges, military leaders. King James (of the Bible) was likely in one.
Perhaps your definition of a victim should be narrowed. Assuming these girls were not chained and prevented from leaving where they were taken care of comfortably and I assume, paid well, should they be referred to as victims?
Well how many is too many? Perhaps 1 if it’s your daughter? And if it’s your daughter, we don’t care about you, but we do care about her and the circumstances. Accountability for a change – unless you are MAGA.
A mere “couple hundred” rape victims, why on earth would we bother?
Really interesting.
How a jew created a paedophile ring and deeply infiltrated up to the President and the whole rich and famous community and ?blackmailed and controlled them.
How CIA, FBI, MI6 and MOSSAD going to involve?
How rich and famous are above the law.
Blue ambush Red and how Red repell them.
Will the president escape and survive like in the movie?
Its interesting and exciting much more than drama movies.
Its on going real live drama.
Useless speculation because two ‘girls’ working full time could service a thousand ‘principals’ in a year. However, the real ISSUE is this. The more people in the know, the greater the chance of discovery.
Small scale, high quality, elite membership, ultra secret.
They aged out very quickly, and there were a lot more rich old pervs than you would think.
You really are not thinking. First, you assume it is about rich old pervs. If they are billionaires, they can buy what they want in any number of countries with relatively little risk.
Now, if you wanted effective control of the US, who would you need to recruit?
1) A US Supreme Ct justice.
2) A major military head–from Joint Chiefs.
3) A president/vice president would be nice.
4) At least one Fed member
5) A multi-billionaire or two with vast access and resources
etc etc.
Let’s say 12. It’s a meaningful number. I don’t need old rich guys.
As for aging out–blockers would be used to increase ‘shelf-life’.
I omitted…
6) CIA/NSA high ranked
7) FBI Director?
8) Major media person
Hard to believe a million documents out there. Trump and Bondi deserve their criticism, but not from any Democrats like Chuck Schumer. Schumer had Biden and Merrick Garland and could have dumped it all any time they wanted. Just the Elites covering each other.
Yes, it’s Chuck Schumer’s fault that Trump’s DOJ won’t comply with the law.
– Hard to believe a million documents out there. > So 1M Democrat Names too?
– could have dumped it all any time they wanted. > Oh, probably more than that then, my bad.
Trump’s gang has been studying these files for months now, so rest assured they have used all the material they could find on democrats already. They’re still desperately trying to hide a lot of stuff, so we can also deduce Trump was in this to his neck. Unlike many of the democrats you so hate.
This is a fantasy until you have proof, or reasonably supportable assertions.
a) if Trump’s gang has studied the files for months to find material on democrats, wouldn’t they also find material on Republicans, and destroy it?
b) Trump’s gang is still trying to ‘hide a lot of stuff.’ OMG-I am so dumb. I never realized….
Biden’s DOJ had UNLIMITED access to the mother lodes of evidence from Little Saint St James’, the ranch, the house in Palm Beach, and the New York mansion.
Merrick Garland was a disaster at justice. One of Biden’s worst decisions. He owns the blame for the failure to act on this during Biden’s term, as well as for many other failures to act in a timely manner. MAGA cannot deal with the fact that Biden failed to weaponize justice like Trump did. Their argument will be the charges that justice brought against Jan 6th losers, etc, but the difference is real vs imaginary criminality, and the proof is The unprecedented frequency with which the trump justice department has been unable to obtain charges from Grand juries. There is no precedent for it and it’s glaring evidence of a corrupted justice department pursuing Trump’ed up charges as vengeance
A million documents is likely a deliberate distraction. Then again, they are simply complying with Congress.
What do we do when so very many of our “leaders” don’t deserve our following them?
(I can guess what the squad of Democrat Socialists of America would say. Would they deserve our following either?)
Heh. Sounds like you have some delusion that a leader is supposed to be pure as the freshly fallen white snow.
Thousands are busted/arrested yearly for theft, bribery, embezzlement and/or sexual hijinks. This includes bible thumping religious leaders.
Most humans are scoundrel’s who will submit to temptation when/if the opportunity presents itself.
I can just see this defense – “Sorry your honor, I was just submitting to temptation.” and the judge saying “Case dismissed.” Of course, you need a biased judge – which you definitely are.
Sorry to have to bust your bubble.
