Epstein, Epstein, Epstein . . . but don't give up

Once upon a time, Blondi's DOJ put out a statement that they had been through all of the Epstein documents and that there was nothing to see. Nothing. Nyet. Nada.

And today...

DOJ says it could take 'a few more weeks' to process Epstein files after receiving more than 1 million additional docs

The Justice Department said the FBI and the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York have uncovered more documents potentially related to Jeffrey Epstein's case.

DOJ says it could take 'a few more weeks' to process Epstein files after receiving more than 1 million additional docs
The Justice Department said the FBI and the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York have uncovered more documents potentially related to Jeffrey Epstein's case.

The Justice Department said Wednesday that it's received a new tranche of records — more than 1 million documents — "potentially" related to Jeffrey Epstein's case, requiring additional time to process them before release.

The DOJ said it "may take a few more weeks" to review the files produced by the FBI and the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

"The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the FBI have informed the Department of Justice that they have uncovered over a million more documents potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case," the Justice Department said on its X account Wednesday afternoon.

How does one "find" one million more documents during the holidays?

The worrisome thing is the volume...and the 'potentially' caveat.

But after all the most fervent denials that the docs existed, that they were on Bondi's desk, etc....this is suspect.

Question though...were all these files also with the DoJ during the Biden Admin?

This is one the messes with this case- there were at least 4 different prosecution teams.

This mess started in 2005, when the mother of a 14 year old girl notified the police that her daughter had been molested by a wealthy man named Jeffrey Epstein. The original indictment was from Palm Beach County in 2006. The Palm Beach County investigation led to multiple women coming forward and saying they had been molested or raped by Epstein. The women, and their families complained that they were being harassed by private investigators hired by Epstein. The Attorney General for Florida ignores the complaints and never charged Epstein with witness tampering and harassment. Epstein also hired, as an attorney, the husband of the police investigator for the Epstein legal team, which forces the investigator to recuse herself.

In 2006, the FBI gets involved because of accusations that Epstein took the women across State lines and out of the country. This creates another case file. This is where the first plea deal is reached where the Florida US Attorney (part of the Bush Administration) allows Epstein to make a plea deal for lesser State charges and a mild sentence. The victims are never notified of this plea deal before it is signed. By 2009, Epstein is a free man.

Years later, a reporter from The Miami Herald hears about the story and interviews the women who had been trafficked. She publishes articles about the case which resurrects it, especially since the abuses did not stop after Epstein was released in 2009.

Then years later, in 2019, during the first Trump Reich, the Southern District of NY US Attorney indicts Epstein on sex trafficking charges. This is the third case file. He is arrested in July. A month later, Epstein is found dead in his prison cell. In 2020, Ghislaine Maxwell is indicted by the Southern District.

Bill Barr, the Attorney General gets involved and Acosta resigns as Labor Secretary. This creates another file in Washington DC.

So, this is 16 years of investigations, 3 different offices and at least 4 case files. Because there is at least 3 grand juries and 2 convictions, there's plenty of evidence.

They have had plenty of years to review these files. The whole story with "the file" being on Pam Bondi's desk was bullshit from the very beginning.

Remember when all the Epstein files fit in one binder that Bondi shared with the far right bloggers?

The visual image of 5.2 million documents sitting on Blondi's desk is amusing but it makes apparent that the government knew a lot about Epstein before they first let him get away with a slap on the wrist during the Bush Administration and then allowed him to commit "suicide" in jail during the first Trump Reich.

US DOJ to review 5.2 million pages of Epstein files, document shows

The U.S. Justice Department revealed it has 5.2 million pages of Epstein files left to review and needs 400 lawyers from four different department offices to help with the process through late January, according to a government document reviewed by Reuters on Tuesday.
This is likely to extend the final release of the documents to much later than expected after a December 19 deadline set by Congress, the document said.

The Trump White House likely leaked this story to the Murdoch outlets, thinking that they would get favorable coverage that Trump dumped Epstein when Epstein propositioned a Mar-A-Lago employee. What the White House didn't anticipate was that the WSJ would dig into the story deeper.

Epstein not a member of Mar-A-Lago, but he was allowed to have Mar-A-Lago employees go to his private home in Palm Beach to give him massages, do his nails and provide other spa services in Epstein's residence. This went on for years, with spa employees warning each other about Epstein's advances and inappropriate behavior.

It wasn't until a spa employee put their concerns into writing and faxed it to the Trump Organization office that the at-home services stopped. This was two years before Epstein was indicted by Palm Beach police for sexually assaulting a 14 year old girl.

Mar-A-Lago staff and the Trump Organization never reported any of their concerns to police. It appears that the entire matter was covered-up by Trump.

The Incident That Prompted Trump to Ban Epstein From Mar-a-Lago’s Spa
Mar-a-Lago sent an 18-year-old spa worker on a house call to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. She complained to her bosses that Epstein pressured her for sex.

Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just a frequent visitor to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The club was also sending spa employees—usually young women—to Epstein’s nearby mansion for massages, manicures, and other spa services, according to former Mar-A-Lago and Epstein employees.

Marla Maples Warned Trump Something Was ‘Off’ About Epstein: Report

A Wall Street Journal investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s time around Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club says Trump’s then wife Marla Maples raised concerns about Epstein years before a 2003 complaint by a teenage spa worker purportedly prompted Trump to ban Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell from the club.

The Journal reports that Maples, who married Trump in 1993, “widely shared” misgivings with staff soon after Mar-a-Lago opened in 1995—telling employees something about Epstein was “wrong” and “off,” and that she worried about his influence on Trump. Former employees said Maples also communicated that she didn’t want to spend time with Epstein and didn’t want Trump to either.

Judge demands response after lawmakers accuse DOJ of dragging feet with Epstein files

Meanwhile, another federal judge is urging prosecutors to prioritize more pressing cases. “Epstein is dead,” she said Tuesday.

A federal judge in New York is demanding answers from the Justice Department after a pair of U.S. congressmen accused prosecutors of slow-rolling the release of files relating to late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein...

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer — the Barack Obama appointee in charge of Maxwell’s case — gave the Justice Department until Friday to respond to the lawmakers’ claims. Engelmayer said the government’s response should include discussion on whether the representatives have standing to intervene in Maxwell’s case and whether the court has the authority to rule on the Trump administration’s compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The DOJ has had so many attorneys quit or get fired for their involvement with Trump's prosecutions that the number of DOJ employees who are tied up with the Epstein documents review, that it is impacting active cases in the court system. Judges are getting irritated with the slow pace of active cases in the Federal Courts.

The tall task is already seeping into other cases. On Tuesday, another federal judge in the Southern District of New York told prosecutors to hold off of the Epstein assignment to focus on another marquee sex crime prosecution: the case of Oren, Alon and Tal Alexander — a trio of wealthy brothers in real estate accused of using their status to rape and traffic dozens of women.

With that case set to head to trial later this month, U.S. District Judge Valerie Caproni told prosecutors that they need to focus on expeditiously sending over discovery materials.

“A few people can be strung from the Epstein case given that these people are on trial,” said the Obama appointee. “Epstein is dead.”
