    I’m struggling to reconcile this with the previous reason given for not releasing the files, that they were a national security risk. So, releasing no evidence would have been a risk to national security after Epstein was dead?

        Yes and no. It depends on the part of the government in question.

        Take the Government Accountability Office. I pretty much trust anything they put out. The same goes for NASA, and until this year, NOAA.

        OSHA also tends to get a pass.

        Homeland Security or the FBI? My sodium intake becomes dangerously high.

        And that’s even before Trump returned to power.

            The expression is, take it with a grain of salt.

            https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/take-with-a-grain-of-salt.html

            The subtext being that the FBI and Homeland Security lie so much, that if you take everything they say with a grain of salt, you’ll be at risk of dying from too much salt.

              They say “Take it with a grain of salt.” and not “Take it with a grain of Sea Salt.”.
              So I am just saying - Use black salt for the grains and you get less Na per grain.

                Black salt is nice, but it’s not low in sodium, it’s just high in iron.

      She tried to walk back the comments about the file being on her desk, except she made those comments multiple times on different shows. She promised results within days, then nothing. Suddenly there is no list, and right wing news shows are now even saying Epstein wasn’t a bad guy and was set up

        It will be technically correct. As in, no one has put all Epstein’s client’s names together in one group, so there has never been a (master) list.

        We know that Prince Andrew is somewhere so there can’t be zero clients.

          There may never have been a full list, but there was a little black book from 2008 or so. It’s a list of names and phone numbers. Donald Trump has four numbers listed.

          The problem is, there were also arguably innocent people in that book as well. Epstein was a piece of shit, but he was a piece of shit who liked to give money to charity. He also liked to hang out with smart people, like actual scientists and such.

          Just saying that by itself, the black book is fairly weak. Combined with other evidence, and it could be a client list.

            Wait a second. You’re saying this piece of evidence that would be the starting point to investigations of everyone on that list is weak?

            And, that could very easily be combined with the videos, and only after substantiating evidence is found would anyone be charged with a crime.

              That’s how investigations normally work.

              You take one piece of evidence, combine it with more evidence, and eventually you have a full case.

              The Feds have the back book (and so does the internet, because it was leaked online). The feds also have a lot of video that I personally don’t want to see, but it should be enough to connect at least a few names.

              The fact that they refuse to connect any names means that Trump is in too many of those videos.

      Not exactly true. The FBI opened the safe then left the Manhattan property. Epstein’s lawyer then recovered the contents of the safe and delivered it to the FBI a few days later.

          Exactly true. The FBI agent said officers broke open the safe with a saw, finding the CDs, jewellery, computer hard drives, “loose diamonds”, passports and “large amounts of US currency.” They took photographs of the items, but left them at the residence as they did not have the warrant to remove them. When they returned four days later, on July 11, they were no longer there. Agent Maguire, a member of an FBI Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, said she then called Richard Kahn, Epstein’s lawyer who now serves as the executor of the later financier’s estate, to ask what happened to the items. “Twenty to thirty minutes after the conversation, Richard Kahn came to the residence and brought them items back in two suitcases,” Agent Maguire said. She could not confirm the content on the returned CDs was the same as the ones that were taken, but confirmed all the items were accounted for.

          (Emphasis mine)

          The big red flag corruption for me. Why did the FBI open the safe if they knew they weren’t allowed to remove its contents.

    As soon as Epstein died, it was clear that the public statements about the circumstances surrounding his death was absolutely sketchy. One of the most high-profile people to be held in prison, and they completely botched it? It was absolutely a coverup. Would not be surprised if the info he would give up would put any presidential hopefuls at the time at risk of winning the election either.

    I fear this is becoming a joke, because it is hard to cope with the concept that the leaders of this country (from both parties) as well as very powerful and influential people are literal pedofiles who raped children.

    there’s a “yes minister” sketch about how to be a politician you can’t have a clean criminal record, you must have done corruption case to show you have experience in the system. nowadays that sketch should be about how normalised pedophilia is in the government.
