(18,581 posts)THE COVER-UP.
Keep your eyes on the ball. Stay focused. The cover-up is the story. The cover-up is the usable material.

(24,185 posts)With every answer, he points to a coverup. Dems need to do that too, so that people know that whatever is eventually released is not the full picture.

Effers dont know whos secured the originals

(2,601 posts)People seem to make that presumption, but have representatives of the Estate themselves claimed/confirmed that they are in possession of untouched copies of these emails? Or is it more like we're determining that is the case through some sort of triangulation that points to that likelihood? Obviously I don't know either way (or I would not be asking lol) but I think it's an interesting question because it could very well define the scale of "coverup" that would be possible for Bondi to put forth, in actual practice

(8,675 posts)For that ploy to blow apart. Just one fabricated email would light the conspiracy theories on fire and not to the benefit of Traitor.
We know that defense attorneys for these young women have some of them.
And Id bet my ass that at least one or two of the 1000+ FBI/DOJ folks who worked on that project, kept a copy.

(4,658 posts)The other folks mentioned (Clinton, Summers, etc) also presumably have copies of their contact with Epstein.
Doesnt mean Trump cant or wont mess around with other evidence, but its going to be high risk stuff with his incompetent loyalists running the show.

(2,601 posts)unless it's internal email. Which is why I thought the accusations of Hillary "scrubbing" her email server back in the day was such a freaking joke of a complaint by the wingnuts. You can't make them go away by eliminating them from only 1 of the (at least) 2 servers, and ANY IT staff in the world knows that's the case, so there's no chance they'd have cleaned up the email server with that goal in mind. It's just a dumb concept.
Thanks

(60,740 posts)Those include everything from FBI files and interviews and materials from his house.
What is out now are the emails obtained from the Epstein estate from his emails.
To me, it seems likely that the DOJ files will have more on illegal acts. Epstein's emails will show who stayed close to him and their interactions. I would bet very few are about his sex ring and his relations with young girls.
I also think the money trail, which Wyden is investigating might be the best tool to define his illegal businesses.
