DOJ releases tranche of Epstein files, says it has met its legal obligations

https://text.npr.org/nx-s1-5693904

The Department of Justice released more than 3 million pages, including more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, in its files tied to the death and criminal investigation of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche says Friday's release means the DOJ is now in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Congress passed last November and which legally required the DOJ to release all the files.

No, we just have a textbook case of malignant narcissism wen given access to powerful people and money. I guarantee you if my dad had the same he'd have done something similar. Fucking disgusting excuse for a human.

Jesus fucking Christ

Is there a torrent of these? Or something?

Uhhhh - sorry if I’m dumb.

So these are witness statements(?) - are these linked to any kind of court cases that have since been finalized or are these statements for some kind of future court case?

Or does this all get swept under the rug?

This is Donald Trump, so yes. He gets away with literally everything. That fucking piece of shit cannot die soon enough...

Many of the statements are marked as unreliable or couldnt be contacted. It seems pretty obvious that a lot of it is true if that many statements exist, but I imagine it could be hard making a case based on that.

If you get a statement about and event and you have place and time, I think you can investigate and will find more. Giving people protection and telling them they just need a statement, many will come forward.

The main issue here is people not only fighting the literal government, but also millions of people who voted for their rapist.

These are all tip line summaries. I honestly don’t see anything that would hold up in any court.

And thanks to fucking this garbage AI bullshit world we live in now Reich wingers get to ignore this and wave it off as "AI generated fake files. It's not in the list they have up so you're lying."

MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 189d

Agreed. A lot of what they redacted has been shown to be protecting the perpetrators, not the victims.

They're still out there, and they got away with it.

Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 27 pts · 190d

After they've discarded any files involving right-wing perpetrators.

Hey guys. I am in a bit a busy right now and don't have time to read this post. Is Donald J. Trump a pedophile?

Fedizen@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 189d (3 replies)

I mean if we we're graphing out the odds its like 99.99999% likely he's a pedophile. There is so much evidence.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 189d (2 replies)

What's your basis for giving him a .000001% chance that he isn't?

GraniteM@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 189d

There's the slightest chance that there is no such person as Donald Trump, and he is in fact a projection into all of our minds by a powerful and malevolent telepath.

Fedizen@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 188d

Yeah its mostly a hedge for the possibility like he's a clone or something and the real donald trump is long dead or it turns out he's an identical twin. We're certain there was a pedophile named donald trump.

Survey says Yes

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 189d

Why the oxymoron?

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 189d

He's been called worse.

lofuw@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 189d

First time I've ever read the word 'tranche.'

melsaskca@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 189d

"Let's do as little as possible to meet the requirements". Sounds like me in high school. Real life pro's should be better than this. Is everything tainted with corruption, stupidity and laziness? Was it all along?
