Epstein Victims: Release the Files

A group of Jeffrey Epstein accusers on Wednesday told emotional, gut-wrenching stories of sexual abuse at the hands of the late convicted sex offender and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, raising pressure on lawmakers to back the release of all of the files in the Justice Department's years-long Epstein investigation. The accusers at the conference said that if Congress isn't willing to release all of the investigative documents pertaining to Epstein, they would compile their own list of names to hold those in Epstein's orbit accountable. "Together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know, who were regularly in the Epstein world," said Lisa Phillips, who said she was brought to Epstein's island.

But the Trump White House and Republican congressional leaders are opposed to the release of all of the files, saying that doing so could inadvertently expose the identities of victims who don't want to go public.

And they'll none of 'em be missed " they'll none of 'em be missed!

Victims said they had no faith that the Epstein files would ever be made public in their entirety and that they had started assembling their own Epstein "client lists".

"We know the names," said Lisa Phillips, an Epstein victim who hosts a podcast that tells stories of sex abuse survivors. "Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world."

Haley Robson, who was trafficked to Epstein as a teenager, said: "We are the keys, we have the truth. We know the game, we know the players, and we are sitting here for 20 years waiting for you to get up and do something. Well, guess what? Your time is up, and we're doing it."

Anger has been growing among victims, many of whom say the Trump administration's decision to close the Epstein case without hearing from any of the sex offender's nearly 1,000 accusers has denied them justice.

"Epstein files push hits a boiling point' in Congress as Trump dismisses it as a hoax

"There's over 200 Republicans who have not signed this discharge petition. We only need two of them to sign it," Massie said at the press conference, where he vowed not to back down from the fight.

"I've never done a press conference with Marjorie Taylor Greene before," Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, a staunch liberal from California, said of the firebrand Georgia Republican as the crowd laughed.

An attorney for numerous Epstein survivors said they would hold Johnson and lawmakers accountable."

I listened to an interview of one of the victims on NPR this morning.

She said she believes Trump is protecting folks. Folks more powerful than him. But wouldn't name names nor implicate Trump himself.

I predict some here will eventually resort to calling these victims liars for not directly implicating Trump.

Simply affirming what a raping scumbag Epstein is just isn't good enough.

Thanks Nostradamus.

But Trumpy has already "implicated" himself.

Trumpy spent YEARS stoking dark theories and embracing QAnon-tinged propaganda that casts him as the only savior who can demolish the "deep state."

Now that he's running the federal government, the conspiracy community he helped build is coming back to haunt him. It's demanding answers he either isn't able to or does not want to provide.

We already know Trumpy is a rapist. So what would that prove? Whose mind would it change about him?

And honestly I doubt they will find much about Trumpy in the files. He has has plenty of time to bleach them. He had a thousand agents working full time in it.

Regardless Trumpy has implicated himself by now pretending the conspiracy theory he promoted and ran on for re election is a "democrat hoax".

It's sad that I have to spell it out for you.

Not good enough. You're not even convinced he's a rapist. That's just Lockeroom talk to you.

You want the proof.

You and how many others have been screaming about the significance of these files? Every fukkin day.

Now you're pretending it didn't matter anyway? "He's rapist anyway"

Please ... ... you're desperate for these files to prove he's a pedophile.

Which is fine with me.

#21 | Posted by eberly at 2025-09-03 05:16 PM

"You're just pissed I'm predicting it."

I am not pissed. Not even surprised. Also not impressed.

We can all make predictions. Some are more accurate than others.

I predict that if any evidence of Trumpy doing something illegal (again) is actually uncovered in the files (as I said unlikely) it will be dismissed and called a "Democrat Hoax" (again).

#22 | Posted by donnerboy at 2025-09-03 05:18 PM

The conclusions drawn here are fine.

But they are meaningless to Trump.

You need him to face a meaningful consequence.

I want to see it happen as well.

But I won't be calling those victims liars if they don't feed you what you hunger for.

Someone who knows another person is continously committing child sex crimes and does nothing to stop it from repeatedly happening again and again is also guilty.

It sounds like eberly disagrees. Or at least he wants to troll libs for agreeing.

(Since we're making distinctions without much difference)

#26 | Posted by horstngraben at 2025-09-03 05:35 PM

Interesting. Not a single MAGAt coming in. They know as well as the rest of us that Trump was a prominent abuser and pedophile. They do not want the info released.

Because I don't know you're a pedo. I have no evidence.

We have victims of Epstein (and others ... .names??)

We have files.

But, since you senses are obliterated, no I didn't take the bait, I tore it up, destroyed it, made you look juvenile for attempting it, and then threw it in the garbage pile of Poorest Trolling Retort History. Where it belonged.

Back on Topic:

"Sen. Wyden pushes Treasury Department release Epstein banking files to finance committee

Wyden criticized Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, saying he hadn't complied.

Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, pushed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to release files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to the Senate Finance Committee.

"The Treasury records shine a light on how high-profile individuals paid Epstein staggering sums of money, which was then used to move women around the world or engage in dubious transactions indicative of money laundering," Wyden said in a statement."

WHY doesn't Trump release Epstein's financial files? Is that where the records of his Russian Money Laundering operation live?
