The Epstein Cover-Up at the FBI

After the review was complete, the DoJ and FBI decided not to release anything. That surprised analysts who thought for sure that a scrubbed version of the files would be released. From March 14th until its completion, the analysts assigned to review the files at IMD were told not to leave the building - working long shifts under chaotic and ever-changing conditions with exposure to disturbing materials. They did end up letting some analysts go home for short periods of time, but then they’d be right back in the office reviewing files. Morale was abysmal.

But there is a log of instances Donald Trump is mentioned in the files, there are video and PDF trainings instructing analysts to flag Trump, there were multiple instances of Trump appearing in the files, Patel and Bondi wanted victim information and PII, and sloppiness means that more people than previously known had access to the Epstein and Maxwell files. And while there was no indication of a ready-made, A to Z client list beyond the little black book that’s already public, “to say there’s nothing or to say it’s a hoax? Bullshit."

MAGA is already backtracking and within six months they will have put it behind them. Wish I had more hope, but I don't.

Some patriotic FBI agent to risk their career in order to leak what was found about Trump when they were busy flagging anything related to him. If he was innocent, then there would have been no reason to flag mention of him. That means he is all over those files.
