Analysis by Channel 4 News has identified emails within the latest Epstein files that suggest that the mountain of information released by the US Department of Justice could amount to just a fraction of the total – potentially just 2% of the information that the FBI retrieved from Epstein’s homes.

    If the DoJ were acting in even the slightest amount of good faith without intent of a coverup, they would allow lawmakers private access to the entire fileset they had and tell them it’s their responsibility for what they see, on the Congresspeople to avoid sharing anything that would violate other laws, and to protect the victims. That would be better than what Congress has now, which is slightly less redacted versions of the same subset of files the DoJ has pre-vetted for what they think they can spin away as usual, along with DoJ snooping through searches and arbitrarily limiting access through 4 computers for 435 House Members.

      The question is, what are we going to do about it? Are we going to meekly accept being denied information that implicates the entire ruling class, when this scandal is the key to razing their entire center of power?

        At minimum, treat everything Pam Bondi and the administration says as a lie.

          How about we organize into secure online groups to investigate for victims? We could use good opsec, guided by people like the community here which know what they are doing, and together help investigate and compile information on the abusers of some of the epstein victims, aided by their recollections and evidence.

          Many want justice, and are being denied, we can’t rely on the government or any sort of establishment to do it, we need to learn to do everything ourselves.
