After Attorney General Pam Bondi’s appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime last night, it looked like that the DOJ was set to release new information related to Jeffrey Epstein: more information about the victims, more information on potential co-conspirators, etc.
Instead, there was a release of a 200 page binder of old materials - mainly flight logs and Epstein’s contacts, and a completely redacted list of Epstein’s masseuses. The highly anticipated “Phase 1” is a rerun. Even the DOJ admits “the first phase of declassified files largely contains documents that have been previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity by the U.S. Government.” Some of it is more redacted than what is already in the public domain. Courtesy of David J. Reilly, here’s an example:
I wouldn’t recommend taking a look if you want new information. But, if you’re curious, you can read them here.
According to a letter from AG Bondi to FBI Director Kash Patel, she requested the agency’s “full and complete” Epstein file before he came into office. The FBI responded with these 200 pages of documents and assured her that they had produced everything.
That turned out to be false. Late yesterday (probably after her appearance on Watters’ show), she “learned from a source that the FBI Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein.” She further stated “the FBI never disclosed the existence of these files.”
Read the letter in full:
We’re a little surprised that AG Bondi didn’t look at the FBI’s initial production of 200 pages with skepticism. Even the casual observer would see the red flags.
After all, the DOJ was prosecuting a criminal case against Epstein before committed suicide (allegedly). It prosecuted Ghislaine Maxwell. Both these cases had volumes of records - thousands and thousands of pages. And it opened up a grandy jury investigation into other Epstein co-conspirators - which was ongoing while Maxwell was being prosecuted. Of course the New York FBI Field Office has “thousands and thousands of pages of documents.”
Not that the point of this is to blame Bondi. At least she is demanding production from the FBI. We’re confident Director Kash Patel will do his part. But we suspect those assisting Bondi with compiling these records is, to put it bluntly, is unfamiliar with the Epstein cases and isn’t well versed on both the DOJ and FBI’s history with Epstein. We reported on Epstein’s 2002 interview regarding financial fraud with the FBI back in May 2023 (we posted it on Twitter today) - it wasn’t in the binder. Maybe part of the issue is the persistence of her staff.
In any event, Bondi can’t stop with the FBI. She must also look within the DOJ.
In 2018, we named the officials at Main Justice in Washington, DC who oversaw and approved the Epstein plea deal. What about their communications and emails? Their memos and letters?
What do DOJ records say about DC dragging its feet in approving an Epstein grand jury?
What do the DOJ records say about the plea deal negotiations - how and why did Main Justice approve the deal, which included all Epstein co-conspirators?
Or, what about the records from Main Justice concerning an Assistant Attorney General stopping notification letters going to Epstein’s victims before the plea deal? If Epstein Attorney Kenneth Starr is to believed, these were stopped by Assistant Attorney General Alice Fischer.
We can go on, but we hope the point has been made. AG Bondi’s priority needs to be to look in the right places, both at the FBI and in the DOJ.
I believe that the bigger corruption here is at the DOJ, as Techno Fog says. Like Assistant Attorney General Alice Fischer stopping notification letters going to Epstein’s victims before the 2008 plea deal. Did that break a law? Fischer btw was Assistant AG under Bush. The Epstein situation was largely kept under wraps through the Bush and Obama administrations.
Bondi needs to appear in person at her deadline in New York tomorrow morning
Wouldn’t the records in the possession of SDNY be under the custody and control of the DOJ? Meaning they report to AG Bondi. SDNY is a federal prosecutors office. They would have the documents to be used at trial and even some that they would not use at trial. Not in the hands of the FBI per se, though FBI may have other evidence and/or copies of the evidence since they were the investigative agency and would pass evidence along to the SDNY.
So maybe one way to read this kerfuffle is to put SDNY on notice. Whatever they turn over, and whatever they hide, can be cross checked with FBI evidence. If something is missing then it raises suspicion of corruption or incompetence. Not good for them. Could blow up unrelated cases if they are caught tampering with evidence or ultimately raided by FBI and files seized.
Some individual or individuals are on the list which could create a very dangerous or potentially violent situation.
Truest Sessions, trust the plan
BTTT
Federal Marshals need to be with Bondi and Patel in case people need to be escorted to Leavenworth or Gitmo
Wouldn’t the records in the possession of SDNY be under the custody and control of the DOJ?YES
Meaning they [SDNY] report to AG Bondi.YES
Epstein was a Mossad agent running a honey pot sting to use in the event US officials drug their feet in supporting Israel. Yes, even allies spy on each other.
I would think that the FBI would have anything that SDNY has.
I’m curious why she did nothing when she was AG of Florida.
Regarding what? Epstein? How could she?
This really isn’t hard.
If the Republicans were tied into Epstein, the Dems would have released it.
If the Dems were tied to Epstein, the Republicans would have released it.
If the “deep state” was tied to Epstein, the Trump admin would have released it.
Why isn’t it being released?
Neither the Dems, Repubs or deep state are stopping it…..so who is stopping it?
Who is stopping them from releasing information about Les Wexner’s beneficiary?
Who is stopping them from releasing info about the parter of Robert Maxwell’s daughter?
Who is stopping them from releasing info about the close associate of Ehud Barak?
It’s not that hard FRiends.
What was the valid national security reason to classify the files? Who classified them? Isn’t it a crime to knowingly classify documents for invalid reasons?
(SDNY is a federal prosecutors office.)
Yes, run by former FBI Director James Comey’s daughter, Maurene Comey, a US Attorney who prosecuted Epstein and Ghislain Maxwell.
It’s not being released to protect jews.
She could have inquired whether or not any resident from the State of Florida is on that list for possible prosecution. At least get the lie on record if they didn’t admit it. That would seem to open up a new round of court hearings to get it exposed. And that would go for all state attorneys imo.
Maybe the DOJ relinquished property back to the FBI? Maybe all agencies involved in this case relinquished the property to.some other agency with enough authority to be able to refuse the DOJ. Maybe they all just held a burning man sized fire?
Anything is possible to me
I would disagree..but, the Israli Deep State is also VERY deep.
Epstien is Jewish, so that is already out there. As is the fact that many golden calf Jews are involved. Antisemites will always try to broken it to most Jews.
