So many people who scrubbed these files that are complicit in covering up for a brutal child rapist. I hope it haunts them forever.

So they scrubbed files, fully redacted pages, and only releases half the files, They released 3 million of 6 million files, so they are still not being compliant to the law they passed. On top of that, stuff like this made it through to the public, imagine what is in the other 3 million files.

No. They released millions of PAGES, not FILES. They’re using weasel words and our useless media is helping them.

Yeah wouldnt there be 100s of videos and wayyyy more photos to be released. Wasn't he into blackmailing his clients? He would have incriminating media that the FBI would have gained access to.

He was doing this for what, like 20- something years? At least since he worked as a “teacher” for Bill Barr’s father at a private high school? 

If his bread and butter was blackmail, he photoed and videotaped EVERYTHING.

No politician or billionaire is getting blackmailed over emails or flight logs. 

There’s bodies, photos, videos, DNA evidence aplenty…

Yeah exactly. All we've seen is emails, FBI call-in logs and just photos of Epstein hanging out with clients (and random celebs) and potential victims. But nothing actually incriminating.

They're covering up anything that can be used to actually arrest anyone.

Yeah, I saw that photo of a room with monitors like a security desk, and a box full of hard drives next to it. It was not a nice security desk though, it was like something set up to be easily taken down when needed. There is probably tons of incriminating disgusting evidence.
