Those settlements went to "25 men" and four potential "co-conspirators," reported The Daily Beast. The petition has prompted questions regarding the identities of the cloaked individuals"and why the DOJ would offer them protection."

"In a Tuesday court filing, the DOJ offered vague placations that it expects to process the trove, which includes two million documents, "in the near term." Officials did not provide a specific date for the full release, as required by law." excerpts

Epstein Files are Back, Baby!

The explanation I am waiting for regarding Ms Maxwell is ...

Why was she transferred to a ~Club Fed~ low security prison with all manner of perks after she talked with Dep AG Blanche? Who authorized that transfer. and why?

The Trump admin has been trying to claim it is the most transparent administration, yet, the answers to those simple questions seem to be lacking ...

Is Maxwell threatening to blackmail Trump because she didn't get that pardon???

If so, she's flirting with her own suspicious death.

I wonder if she's smart enough to have a secret diary listing all their names and the extent to which they were co-conspirators.

Well, if nothing else, she just showed the world why Trump is distracting the country, the world, at the cost of lives, in order to, yes, protect his friends.

Oh course not. The Dems screamed for the files saying they wanted justice for the victims. Now that the files show Trump wasn't involved and Clinton is all over them the left is saying "nothing to see here!"It's the same old story.

The brain dead orange child rapist is mentioned thousands of times in the Trumpstein files.

- the files show Trump wasn't involved

You need a good psychiatrist... perhaps someone with a Cult Extraction specialty.

What's been released, even today, is heavily redacted and has several exceptions that would allow any info about Trump to be withheld.

It was tongue in cheek, idiot.

And the files released so far show Trump not involved?

God damn could you be any more stupid?

I'm reading Nobody's Girl by Virginia Giuffre and it's horrific.

After stealing Virginia from Mar-a-Lago-- "Why don't you work for me?" -- Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell hired her to be a masseuse, but she was immediately put to work pleasuring Epstein in his mansion while "G-Max" (Ghislaine) watched.

Afterwards, out of a black duffle bag full of cash, Epstein pulled out two 'Benjamins' and smirked, commenting that she has probably never been paid so well for a few minutes work.

Epstein then warned Virginia that he knows where her brother lives and that he "owns the Palm Beach Police Dept," which terrified Virginia as she loved her brother.

With no self-esteem and a desperate need for money, 17 year old high school dropout Virginia became a reluctant sex slave to those two lunatics.

A chauffeur then drove Virginia to her squalid abode 15 minutes away.

Incredibly poor people live within 15 minutes of Dummkopf Trumpf and Jeffrey Epstein's palatial homes.

The FBI received a tip from a woman who claimed her friend was forced as a young teenager to perform a sex act on Donald Trump, according to newly released documents in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The Department of Justice published 3 million additional pages of documents related its investigation of the late sex offender and his trafficking network, and one email contains summaries of complaints received through the FBI's National Threat Operations Center (NTOC), which receives, evaluates and processes public tips about alleged crimes or threats.

From 21 Jan 2021 to 19 Jan 2025, USAG Merrick "the Meek" Garland inexplicably sat on these disgusting and damaging files that could have exposed and ruined Dummkopf Trumpf.

One wonders what former Special Counsel Jack Smith is thinking about his former idiotic boss.
