They're all protecting each other

We'll need a Democratic administration and an honest AG to get the Epstein files released.  So, we probably won't ever see them all. In the meantime, they're giving us bits and pieces.

New files turned over to congressional investigators from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein suggest the convicted sex offender, in the last years of his life, had ties with President Donald Trump’s former adviser Elon Musk.

And pretty much anyone with money or power.

The documents [...] were delivered to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and published Friday by the panel’s Democrats. [...] In what appears to be a copy of Epstein’s itinerary, Musk had a tentative trip to Epstein’s island on Dec. 6, 2014. A note appended to that plan reads, “is this still happening?”

Another schedule notes a planned lunch with tech billionaire Peter Thiel on Nov. 27, 2017, and a breakfast with conservative political strategist Steve Bannon on Feb. 16, 2019 — just months before Epstein was charged with sex trafficking of minors. Bannon was Trump’s chief strategist, and Thiel is a prominent Republican megadonor.

“It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world,” said Sara Guerrero, a spokesperson for Oversight Democrats, in a statement. “Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims.”

Should they live so long. Virginia Guifree is already dead.

A GOP spokesperson for the Oversight panel blasted the Democrats’ decision to release information unilaterally.

“It’s unfortunate that Democrats continue to meaninglessly cherry-pick documents and politicize this investigation,” the spokesperson said. “They are intentionally withholding documents that contain names of Democrat officials, and the information they released today is old news.”

Not old to me.

However, the person speaking on behalf of the GOP majority declined to name those Democratic officials, saying Republicans would wait to release the files in full once victims’ names were redacted.

Sure, Jan.

In the midst of his fallout with Trump earlier this year, Musk had accused the administration of failing to release the materials in the Epstein case because the files mentioned Trump. In a separate post on X, Musk also questioned, “How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?”

Also according to the newly released files, Microsoft founder Bill Gates had a tentative breakfast party in 2014 with Epstein.

Is he a Republican?

Epstein’s relationships with Gates and Prince Andrew have been extensively scrutinized.

I keep reading that people say all the crazy, illegal, and unconstitutional shit Trump is doing now is an effort to keep the Epstein files out of the news. Maybe the drip, drip, drip of Epstein files news is an effort to distract from the unconstitutional shit.
