Not that I believe this, but here is a different take on the Epstein case for your consideration.

It’s because a lot of people have been sold a fantasy that if the Epstein list is released, all of the corruption in government will be purged and everything will be back to what they want without them having to lift a finger.

Load of garbage, but people don’t like having their fantasies crushed.

Hmmm

>>I will endeavor to explain how absurd is this furor and why this (like the ludicrous Pizzagate-like fantasy before it) has so many dupes believing in unsubstantiated nonsense.

Remember when the NY Times debunked Pizzagate and then later the author of the debunking article was arrested on child pornography charges?

Too many coincidences. And the Podesta emails are really, really weird.

Wow, finally a reasoned response to all this Epstein lunacy.

I’ve mainly refrained from discussing this issue because none of us, and I mean zero people besides a few with first hand information know what’s really going on.

FReepers, before commenting, I recommend you break protocol and read the entire article.

The points are mostly valid, but saying that it’s ABSURD that people believe there was a list of clients when Bondi said it was on her desk kills said points.

Rage? We know that Epstein was let off the hook the first time he was arrested. That’s a fact. You can pooh pooh the theories built around that fact, but it’s still a fact. We can be enraged that there is a double standard application of the law without diving into conspiracies.

And then there’s the title; Ragebait Engagement Farming. OK, who are the farmers? What’s their intent and agenda? If we’re all Charlie Browns, why shouldn’t we get pissed when Lucy keeps yanking the football away at the last minute. Exactly what was Clarice Feldman trying to achieve by chastising while not acknowledging the real cause behind the theories and that they don’t spring out of nothing?

Clarice offers a well-written defense of Bondi and the DOJ, but her argument isn’t conclusive.

She leans on an absence of evidence she couldn’t access even if it existed, downplays serious red flags, cites sources with personal stakes (like Dershowitz), and relies on trust in institutions that many no longer share.

It’s a plausible rebuttal—not proof that nothing’s being hidden. In fact, it reads more like a skilled defense attorney’s closing argument than a definitive debunking.

Good article, but I’ll still prefer my “Occam’s razor” hypothesis: releasing what Epstein files exist would implicate Republicans along with some Democrats at a time when the Senate and House have thin GOPee majorities. They simply think the risk is too great, and it doesn’t go beyond that reasoning.

Epstein videoed everything.

Where are the tapes of Clinton screwing 15 year olds?

Dozens of billionaires, politicians and royalty are on those tapes raping young girls.

Nobody has been charged. This is a monstrous scandal.

This is Bondi’s fault.

Doing right has no end as the Epstein case is just the beginning.

I believe the “Epstein Files” were destroyed We still have Ghislaine Maxwell in a 20 year prison sentence with very little information from her
This entire case is bizarre.

The internet and social media have given rise to paid professional influencer base that is desperate to manufacture controversial and inflammatory topics for content that produces hits for their social media sites to generate fast income.

One good viral video can make them $20,000 in a matter of weeks so they jump on anything that they can use to hype as a pretext to drive media coverage.

A lot of people are making a lot of money producing social media content to stir people up and make them angry to drive interest in their social media sites.

Likely scrubbed it long before any criminal investigation.

Bimgo if anything a list would be in numbers in case it was found and the names in a safe place off shore.

Ain’t conspiracies fun Moe

Is Feldman really this clueless or just a propagandist?

and I think Bondi has achieved a remarkable courtroom record against a tsunami of judicial insurrection

I smell an operation against Bondi because she's been too successful against the remaining scum in the DOJ and against the Obama-Biden stooges in the judicial branch.
