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.

      which is exponentially larger in terms of data size and probably more time-consuming to censor…

      I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir, but the deadline, by law, and agreed upon by democrats and republicans alike was 19 December. Instead of showing good faith, where granting additional time could be reasonable to censor where appropriate, they come back with an obvious cover-up: highly selective release, illegal redactions, and failing to redact where it’s actually needed, blatantly lying about it, and so on.

      Already in June, before the release they worked on the files.

      received information that Attorney General Pam Bondi “pressured” about 1,000 FBI personnel to comb through tens of thousands of pages of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and flag any mention of President Trump.

      So, given the DOJ’s conduct, and obvious complicity, I don’t think they deserve any sympathy for being unable to deliver almost 2 months past the deadline and (failing to comply with the EF Transparency Act in a multitude of other ways).

        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.

      Rename it to mp4 to automatically open them in video player

    i had heard the files were like 14TB or something like that so the 2% tracks. That it isn’t e-mails is clear. No other option really except for it to be video.

    And the orange child rapist is already named/mentioned about 40000 times on those two percent.

    Time to do some maths…
    40000 mentions in 2%
    First we need to take that 40000 and divide it by 2. This is 20000.
    So that’s 20000 mentions for 1%

    Right, let’s multiply that 1% by 100 to get 100%…
    40000÷2x100 is 2000000

    That’s a potential of 2 million mentions in all of those files.

    Also, we must remember that the 40000 number recorder so far doesn’t take in to account the redactions that were made in the first set of released files.

    But, yeah, obviously, he didn’t know what was going on with his best mate Jeffery Epstein and all those little girls…
