US House committee releases more than 33,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein files

The 33,000 pages included years-old court filings related to Epstein and his former girlfriend and associate Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as what appears to be bodycam footage from police searches and police interviews.

The files appear to contain information that is already public knowledge.

Nixon called this technique a "limited hangout" in the tapes he recorded of himself.

They only release files when their cover story has failed. The point of the release is to distract. That's why they didn't release anything that's new.
