33,000 Pages of Epstein Files are Released as One Congresswoman Suffers 'a Full Blown Panic Attack' and Another Says 'This is a Lot Bigger Than Anyone Anticipated'

Given the fact that Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell seem to be the only human sex traffickers on record to be charged with human sex trafficking without a single mention of whom they were sex trafficking humans to, federal law enforcement ought to understand if the public isn't satisfied with a suspicious "suicide" for him and a 20-year prison sentence for her. 

After all, if some insurance broker is popped for soliciting prostitutes on a street corner in some police sting operation, his name and address makes the local news sites. "Name and Shame" has been a staple of curbing prostitution for decades. And done more harm to the Flesh Peddling industry than the Clap. 

But it's been painfully obvious from the begging that an exception has been made in this case. And lost on exactly no one that the Feds have no interest in revealing the clients' names. No matter which party has been in power. So this cuts across all ideological lines. The American public wants the list. The same agencies that investigated this case have no interest in releasing it. And don't have to if they don't want to. So the only hope we have is to keep putting pressure on the people who actually need public support - elected officials - to do something about it. In order to protect their phony baloney jobs. 

Well it's very possible the pressure has finally become too much. Because there's been a huge document dump, courtesy of one Congressional Committee:

Daily Mail -  The House Oversight Committee has released a massive trove of Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein, the same day lawmakers pushed a bill to force out the documents.

The investigative panel under Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has been reviewing the federal files related to the late pedophile's 2019 death. …

After Comer subpoenaed the DOJ for files related to Epstein in early August, the department turned over over 34,000 pages of documents. The Oversight Committee released 33,295 pages of Epstein-related records on Tuesday, Comer said. 

Documents reviewed by the Daily Mail include an internal Bureau of Prisons report on how Epstein was able to commit suicide, citing an 'excessive' amount of linens found in the cell.  …

Files released also include interview transcripts from Epstein's accomplice and longtime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years for trafficking.

 

The drop also includes videos, with at least one appearing to show a woman recounting her experience around Epstein, Politico reports. 

Among materials unveiled Tuesday evening, however, are some video clips, including one that appears to feature a young woman recounting her experience as one of Epstein’s masseuses. Her image, and the image of the interviewer, are blurred. 

However, Democrats on the committee have claimed that the documents provided by the DOJ do not contain much new information. 

We're only in the first few hours since 33,295 pages of information has been released. So whether the critics of this information dump are right in saying there's nothing new here, remains to be seen. I mean, I provided the link above, but that doesn't mean I've clicked it. I've been reading the same book all summer and up to Page 320. At that pace I wouldn't finish these Epstein files before the sun goes supernova, so like you I'm leaving the forensics to somebody more qualified. 

What we do know for sure are two things. First, that this new release calls the official account of Epstein's death into question. Second, that the materials that the committee have seen were nothing short of traumatizing:

Also Daily Mail - Newly-released footage from outside of Jeffrey Epstein's prison cell has blown a huge hole in Attorney General Pam Bondi's explanation of a missing minute in previously released video. …

The 'missing minute' was blamed on the Bureau of Prison's surveillance system, with Bondi claiming that 'every night they redo that video… every night should have the same minute missing.'

Yet the House of Representatives Oversight Committee has now included the minute in two hours of additional footage it released on Tuesday amid a probe into potential ethics violations among elected officials.

The release of the mystery minute came as members of the Oversight Committee met with survivors of Epstein's alleged abuse.

The discussion with survivors left top Republican Rep. Nancy Mace in tears and Florida Republican Anna Paulina Luna suggesting 'this is a lot bigger than anyone anticipated.'

'There are some rich and powerful people that need to go to jail,' she told reporters following the closed-door meeting. 'I think everyone's frustrated as to why that hasn't happened before.'

Taking these one at a time, if this business of the missing minute being found is true, that is a serious allegation against Pam Bondi. That would mean the Attorney General of the United States - who works for us - straight up fabricated a story to cover up missing evidence in the most explosive criminal case of our times. Not that she was wrong. Not that she was given incorrect information. But that she said the recording system automatically resets for one minute a day when it doesn't. Which in plain English is a fucking lie. Stay tuned on that. 

Next, I've written about Rep. Nancy Mace a bunch of times. Because politics aside, she's a total wild card with no filter:

… and want to see more of her brand of genuine authenticity in politics instead of everything these people say written by staffers with degrees in Political Science and put before focus groups. 

But regardless of whether you're fan or not, I defy anyone to see the visceral reaction she had to the testimony:

… and her explanation:

… I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us. 

GOD BLESS ALL SURVIVORS. 

… and not feel for Mace. Talk to any woman who's been victimized in a SA and you'll quickly learn how visceral that trauma is. It leaves scars you can't see, but you can sense them whenever these survivors discuss their experiences. And these scars don't heal. Which makes it all the more important that the ones who survived being trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell - and those that didn't survive it - get the justice they deserve. Which can only be accomplished by trying and convicting the pervs who did business with these monsters. 

Which brings us to the third part of this, which is Rep. Luna. Whom I'm also partial to:

Like Mace, Luna doesn't come across like anyone who's just going through the motions. Or just tossing out a few nuggets to placate the public so she can say she's addressing the issue when she's on the campaign trail next year. These are bold words. The kind that have to be backed up. You can't paint yourself into the rhetorical corner of saying how this is bigger than anyone thought, "There are some rich and powerful people that need to go to jail" and admitting what a lot of people have believed all along, that Epstein was working for a foreign government, and then just move onto the next thing. Voters won't forget something like that.

We'll know more in the days and weeks to come. This is either a major breakthrough in the Epstein-Maxwell scandal, or just another dead end. But when you've got 33K pages released, congresswomen being triggered by victims' testimony and others talking about jailtime for the perps, that certainly feels like progress to me. Let's hope it. Stay tuned.
