1/ 86% of Americans told the Washington Post they want every Epstein file released.
Nearly 3.5 million pages already are. But the problem is that almost no one has read or thoroughly evaluated them.
I’ve spent nine months reading them, with my team. Here is what’s in the public record, with the documents:

Sep 272/ The files are not mainly a story about one man’s crimes, though those are documented and monstrous.
They show finance, philanthropy, science, and state power operating as one, with a convicted predator at the switchboard for a decade after his 2008 conviction.
My primary conclusion is that the nation-state is no longer the central unit of power - it is the shadow network itself, which operates beneath the layer of accountability associated with democratic institutions, and whose architecture of impunity allows it to stay entirely above the law.

Sep 273/ Start with the money.
Epstein set the plans in motion. A major U.S. bank drafted the structure for a proposed $100 billion philanthropic fund.
That fund never launched. A parallel one did, anchored by a global philanthropy.

·
Sep 274/ The U.S. government signed a ten-year agreement with it. A cabinet secretary issued it operational instructions in 2025.
Every step is documented. The documents are public.

Sep 275/ In the correspondence, an offshore arm of the planned fund is described as “especially for vaccines.”
In a separate document, a “strain pandemic simulation” appears as a Gates private-office deliverable, dated three years before the pandemic.

Sep 276/ The protection reached into governments.
Epstein’s jet had its visa waiver authority renewed five months after his pilot told Customs he was a registered sex offender.
A prince asked him to help draft Buckingham Palace’s denial of a survivor’s accusation.

Sep 277/ A former prime minister served as his channel to Moscow. A former White House counsel worked on his Gates project a month out of office.
And a million dollars of Epstein’s money now sits in an emergency-call company inside American 911 centers.

Sep 278/ All of it after his conviction. Removing him did not remove the arrangement around him.
Every claim in SHADOW EMPIRE is footnoted to a document at https://justice.gov/epstein, with its federal Bates number. Check the argument. Don’t trust it.

Sep 279/ This thread is the short version.
Since February I’ve published a 30-part series on the files, every piece sourced to document numbers. The first thread alone reached 4.7 million views.

The “Epstein Files” are the biggest nothingburger I have ever seen in half a century of watching politics.
It was a blackmail op. Trump, not being a club joiner, nor a desperate narcissistic politician who had to pay for sex, nor an addict prone to making stupid assed decisions and knowing people, steered clear from this
Dems were not interested in looking at it, certainly not revealing it, until President Trump got into office.
This op that went back to the early 2000s was dragged out in order to sow doubt Dumb, uninformed entertainers such as late notes and Tim Dillon, for instance, and media people used it to spread doubt and hatered for Trump
That’s my take. I haven’t been proven wrong
How can just one person be the subject of that many pages?
I agree and disagree.
From the perspective of politics, I agree, with one caveat.
That is that it seems like politicians as well as influential wealthy and famous people got protected.
However, in terms of controversies, I think that what Epstein did was huge. It is absolutely amazing how many famous and powerful people he entangled into his web, and how he not only avoided prosecution for his activities, but was able to stay out of the spotlight for so long.
Go back to 2024 in a time machine and tell MAGA voters that.
I really don’t care that much about teenage hookers getting paid to sleep with some old rich dude.
It’s the kind of topic that can become a paralyzing type of quicksand, if one is not careful.
That’s the main reason, many years back, I stopped paying much attention to PizzaGate Updates. It was absolutely endless!
If Trump was implicated, you bet your sweet bippy the Biden Administration would have released it.
That’s the truth.
Exactly
And we will NEVER read ANYTHING significant
about Democrat Bill Clinton’s involvement
“The long version is the book.

But wait! There’s more. Buy your book today!
everything that is legally allowed to be released, has already been released.
the only thing that has not been released is the victims names, because they didnt want their names released.
This story is over.
The release has come in dribs and drabs, as opposed to the Day 1 avalanche that Glenn Beck, among others, predicted.
The DOJ has made contradictory statements that have weakened its credibility. (The most outstanding example being Pam Bondi’s famous declaration that the client list was “sitting on my desk right now.”)
President Trump has dismissed the Epstein affair as old (i.e., unimportant) news.
Lastly, the files have still not been released in their entirety.
That’s why this story still has legs. I don’t know if it’s a blackmail operation, but the missteps by the DOJ have kept it alive. President Trump is untouched personally, but his underlings have done him no favors.
Someone like Tom Fitton should be assigned complete special authority to handle this outside normal DOJ channels.
“If Trump was implicated, you bet your sweet bippy the Biden Administration would have released it.”
Your sweet bippy, indeed.
I had to place friends into the illogical category over their not realizing this.
Still waiting for the women involved to release the names of the clients.
“…but the missteps by the DOJ have kept it alive.”
When people assume the accusers here have any intention of providing the public with honest resolution of this issue and don’t assume they are using it to eliminate President Trump they look at it like it’s been handled fairly, with no manipulation, no propaganda
That’s the issue. When people are innocent or even part of the good guy team, accusers who are desperate, pathological and criminal can successfully propagandize
People really ought to see more good film noir
WTAF is this BS? There’s 32,640 pages in the full 32-volume Encyclopedia Britannica.
“Still waiting for the women involved to release the names of the clients.”
Why?
I see that there is a Republican subcatagory.
Where is the Lunatic Communist Democrat subcatagory?
