The Epstein File
-
I could go through the threads where we've engaged in this and find your claims that the DOJ does not expand investigations as an unwritten ethical rule, and that the Biden DOJ would not have gone out of their way to comb through the files for legally incriminating leads to Trump. Yes we also talked about leaks, and you have a stronger case there, though it's still arguable, since we hardly have proof that there is any embarrassing stuff about Trump in those files that would move the needle. We have proof that Trump wanted his name redacted, but no proof that without the redactions, any needle would have been moved.

I don’t think you’d ever find me making such a case. My position has been that all the evidence suggests the garland DoJ operated by the book as far as we know. The ‘book’ is fine with expanding investigations if thats where evidence leads. Famous cases are the result of such expansions, from Anthony Weiner’s laptop to Rob Blagojovich to Arthur Andersen’s conviction in Enron.

So the redactions didn't work, we can see everything anyway, and also, the redactions cover up lots of juicy details of Trump's behavior that were only kept secret by the Biden administration due to an abundance of honor and integrity on their part. Something like that.

Or maybe nothing like that?
I don’t know the scope of the redaction problem but with millions of pages surely not everyone did it wrong.

Weird, a small subset of the millions of pages isn't how they are talking about it in the giggly twitterverse. At least, not the small subset of the giggly twitterverse we're blessed with here on TNCR.
But maybe when you say "nothing like that", you meant the bit about the abundance of honor and integrity in the Biden DOJ which can be assumed to have been leak-proof against any arbitrarily juicy details about Trump and Epstein. I agree that maybe it's probably nothing like that.

Are we all supposed to pretend that a novelty letter from Trump to his one-time friend Jeffrey Epstein is something that will require wagon circling? Trump can plausibly claim to not know about it, maybe an assistant wrote it, maybe Epstein had someone write it to make it look like Trump wrote it. There will be no hard evidence and nothing will come of it. This is pretty stupid. I've reached out to Hanania - and he has apologized, and vowed to stop posting stupid shit. I appreciated it, and forgave him. He's a good kid, if way too racist for my tastes.

Replica of the "allege" birthday card from President Trump to Mr. Epstein on the National Mall today.

@jon-nyc But to Musk's defense, I read that there was never any meeting between Epstein and Musk; scheduling conflicts, etc. and (again from what I read) Epstein was the one pursuing Musk.

The Justice Department on Friday released many more files related to its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, including a gushing exchange between Melania Trump and Epstein’s now-imprisoned sidekick, Ghislaine Maxwell.
“Dear G! How are you?” Melania began one apparent email to Maxwell, dated October 2002. “Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great in the picture.”
New York magazine ran a story about Epstein that month in which Donald Trump indicated he knew about his former pal’s penchant for young girls.
“I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump boasted. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

I think the time has come for Parliament to pass an Act of Attainder and advise HRH to order that butt of Malmsey wine for Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor. As for his estranged spouse, Ms Ferguson, we’ll let the Convent’s Mother Superior deal with her perpetual penance.

Is there anybody (except me) who WASN'T friends with Jeffery Epstein? Seems like that guy corresponded with pretty much everyone. LOL

Former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as part of the panel’s investigation into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The news marks a stunning about-face that came after months of negotiations and as the House Rules Committee was preparing to tee up floor votes on potentially holding the two in contempt of Congress. The House Oversight Committee voted last month to advance the contempt resolutions.
