"Documents reveal the Jeffrey Epstein paid private detectives to remove equipment from his Florida home in an apparent attempt to prevent investigators from finding them.

The documents also show that the pedophile rented six storage units across the US and used them to house items from his properties, including computers from Little Saint James, his private torture island in the Caribbean.

Search warrants reviewed by The Telegraph suggest US authorities never raided the lockers, raising the possibility that they may contain unseen evidence relating to Epstein and his associates, including Dummkopf Trumpf, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and Lord Mandelson.

The filthy oligarch owned five sprawling properties across the US and France and he had US, Austrian, Saudi Arabian, and Israeli passports at the time of his arrest. Photographs of the properties taken when US authorities raided them after his arrest in 2019 showed that many contained large storage areas and empty basements, so it is unclear why Epstein would need to rent external lock-ups.

Epstein ordered staff to install secret cameras inside Kleenex boxes at his home after a contact told him "the Russians may come in handy."


~snip~

Florida-based private detective agency "Riley Kiraly," run by two former police officers, stored photographs into storage units and were instructed to gather damaging information on Epstein's victims.

Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell victims had reported strange and menacing incidents, including the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who ended up buying a handgun to protect herself and her family. (Source: Nobody's Girl).

On top of all of Jeffrey Epstein's litany of sacrileges, he also violated two federal statutes concerning evidence and witnesses: Destruction or Alteration of Evidence (18 USC 1519) and Obstruction of Justice (18 USC 1512).

This article did not mention if Ghislaine Maxwell similarly tried to hide, tamper, or destroy evidence. The late Virginia Roberts Giuffre's last wish was for the diabolical Ghislaine Maxwell "never to see the light of day again." [sic].

The junta members of the nefarious Epstein Administration can't keep covering up their sins and blasphemies, as well as the nebulous relationships they have with Hostile Intelligence Services (HOIS).

Trump's SOTU came and went, and Jeffrey Epstein remains.

What a coincidence, the DOJ is hiding the files that show Pedo47 raping children as well.

I'm sure that FBI Bro Kash Patel will be all over this matter as soon as he gets back from his girlfriend's 'concert' at some honkey-tonk in some small town where the internet is yet to reach...

I mean, the COMPLETELY EXONERATED dementia patient MUST want all the files exposed to prove his innocence and catch all the bad people involved. Right? RIGHT?

But let's consider this ... he had so many files, he required storage units. That's a lot of files...

FJB's DOJ hiding the same files is What a coincidence as well.

Unlike Daddysfist's orange child-raping hero, Biden isn't mentioned 1 million times in the Trumpstein files.

Anyone care to tell me again how LEOs are great guys? I am so sick of seeing this and worse over and over AND see them get away with it. There are good LEOs but are the really if they cover up for the bad ones? I am sure in the "brotherhood" the good ones feel the HAVE to do so more often than not.

BUT then they leave and THIS. Dirty and disgusting.

Sorry felt the need to rant.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre wrote in her book that Epstein said "I own the Palm Beach Police Dept" and these two gumshoes probably retired from there, becoming "mercenaries" for the sun-tanning oligarchs like Epstein.

I knew some PIs that are former LEOs and they were OK guys.

One turned down a lucrative assignment from Bernie Madoff's family to bodyguard him when he was arrested and released on bond.

Protecting big-money pedophile sex-trafficking donors.

Republicans, remember: You asked for this. Given the choice between a dozen solid conservatives and one Clinton-supporting con-artist and game-show host, you chose the con-artist. You chose him freely. Nobody made you do it.

Many years ago my friend's boss at the FBI testified similarly to a Congressional oversight sub-committee after one of the oligarch-caused US financial collapses.

This old school FBI senior agent let a good-for-nothing hypocritical Republican on the sub-committee have it in the face with both barrels:

Two-faced Republican Congressman Pisspants: "What the hell was the FBI doing while all this embezzlement and Ponzi schemes were going on, Asst Director MacGruff? Well?" [sic]

Senior FBI agent: "Hunting down hundreds of non-existent al-Qaida sleeper cells and infiltrating every mosque in America that YOU demanded of the FBI, Congressman!"

There is a companion article today discussing the nature of the contents.

And, predictably, the Trumpcucks are doing the "whatabout" dodge because they are now actively covering for an international pedo cult and trying to soothe their own consciences.

Ask Kash, the Lie-Klops. When he sobers up after all his official business, he can let you know.

We know that for a few years they were protecting Epstein at the direction of Donald Trump.

This includes time just before his arrest and afterwards.

It's in the files. Literally.

Hiding files is what trump did at mar a lago. Or what bondi is doing now.

Biden and Garland ignored the files.

Trump HID them after a LAW WAS PASSED that they must be released.

Yeah he thought letting trump go would bring you fascists back to sanity. He was wrong.

The cover-up is both party. Some get it. Others still think it's one sided.

They either didn't know jack or were complicit.

The cover up falls squarely on Trump's lap as he was the one who made such a big deal about revealing them, until he realized what a horrible decision that would be for him.
