For a man who claim to have daughters, basilico should be the most vociferous amongst us all, constantly demanding the release of Epstein files with fervor.
I didn't invent any word , I'll repost what the bot banned me for , misspelling some words

Ghislaine Maxwell said Epstein would have gone nuts without having sex . She was his girlfriend but is the one who got young girls upto 12 years old to give Epstein a massage. Epstein would be lying facing down. Ghislaine would teach the girl dressed in the tiny school uniforms what he liked. Before he turned and faced upwards ,and had sex with the girl. Ghislaine would also introduce intimacy gadgets to the girl,the butler would later clean up the mess.
Some of the girls would be sent to his friends with instructions to doing everything the prvert wanted The girls would be paid a bonus if they brought other girls. $200 for every session and bonus too. Epstein was just evil. Pure evil. Methinks he was. Satanic devil worshipper ,he had what looked like a temple in his island.
All that is in court depositions filed at SDNY.Ive posted links to these materials several times here.
Nit every friend of his was abusing kids ,you just can't name everyone on his black phone book ( there were few cellphones then) . I would also say the same about flight logs except tthose to where his neighbours called Paedo orgy Island.

There is a list of accused . I want their names yesterday. This is separate from anyone on his phone book.
Dershowitz, John Doe 4 descended on Florida with high profile lawyers secured a plea deal for Epstein and blocked every accused names from being exposed.
Pam Bondi was the Florida Attorney General when Epstein got a plea deal,not that she had anything to do with the federal case. She knows a lot more , she's crapping on everyone releasing 350 pages and saying that's enough.
This bot can be annoying.

Double dose of hope (h-opium)Kash Patel is not resigning if Bongino does. He running a sprawling investigation spanning a decade regarding Russia collusion all the way to 2024 ,where it all but ended. There should be something good coming up in the next 10 days or less.

He says Kash Patel isn’t going anywhere and all rumors related to him are not true, but Dan Bongino is in fact taking a few days [to] consider if he wants to stay on the Job.
There are reports] tonight that Kash Patel is considering resigning alongside of Dan Bongino. It is not true.

My reporting makes very clear Kash is going nowhere unless the president tries to move Kash Patel. He's there for the long haul. Why is that?
Because the FBI has a major investigation that looks at the last 10 years of what happened to Donald Trump as one large conspiracy case. No one's going to give up that opportunity.

Now, it is true that Dan Bongino, he's taking a few days to reconsider whether he wants to stay in the job. That's his decision…

think next week, over the next 10 days, in the base who's been wondering, where's all that accountability?

They're going to get some big surprises over the next week concerning where the conspiracy began, a few weeks before Crossfire Hurricane was opened, and when it ended all the way in 2024, when they were still trying to pursue Donald Trump to keep him from winning the presidency, there was a big case that's been built by the Justice Department and the FBI.

It's been masked by a lot of this infighting and drama and soap opera stuff, but the truth of the matter is, MAGA base Americans are going to be happy when they see where this is all heading in the next few weeks
They keep saying 2 weeks to release ,blah blah blah.

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified
There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death.

Save
The United States Department of Justice this week released nearly 11 hours of what it described as “full raw” surveillance footage from a camera positioned near Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. The release was intended to address conspiracy theories about Epstein’s apparent suicide in federal custody. But instead of putting those suspicions to rest, it may fuel them further.

Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics experts shows that rather than being a direct export from the prison’s surveillance system, the footage was modified, likely using the professional editing tool Adobe Premiere Pro. The file appears to have been assembled from at least two source clips, saved multiple times, exported, and then uploaded to the DOJ’s website, where it was presented as “raw” footage.

Experts caution that it’s unclear what exactly was changed, and that the metadata does not prove deceptive manipulation. The video may have simply been processed for public release using available software, with no modifications beyond stitching together two clips. But the absence of a clear explanation for the processing of the file using professional editing software complicates the Justice Department’s narrative. In a case already clouded by suspicion, the ambiguity surrounding how the file was processed is likely to provide fresh fodder for conspiracy theories.

Any aspect of the official story that isn’t fully explained will be co-opted by conspiracy theorists, says Mike Rothschild, an author who writes about conspiracy theories and extremists. “So whatever your flavor of Epstein conspiracy is, the video will help bolster it.”

For months leading up to the joint memo the DOJ and FBI published Monday, attorney general Pam Bondi had promised the release of records related to Epstein, raising expectations that new, potentially incriminating details might surface about the disgraced financier’s death and his ties to powerful individuals. However, rather than revealing new information, the memo largely confirmed conclusions reached years earlier: that Epstein was found in a Manhattan prison cell on August 10, 2019, and died by suicide while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

To support its conclusion, the FBI reviewed surveillance footage overlooking the common area of the Special Housing Unit (SHU) at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), where Epstein was held. The FBI enhanced the footage by adjusting contrast, color, and sharpness, and released both the enhanced and what it described as the “raw” version. Both versions of the video appear to have been processed using Premiere and include much of the same metadata. According to the FBI, anyone entering the area containing Epstein’s cell during the relevant time frame would have been visible on that camera.


Working with two independent video forensics experts, WIRED examined the 21-gigabyte files released by the DOJ. Using a metadata tool, reporters analyzed both Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) and Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) data to identify signs of postprocessing.

The “raw” file shows clear signs of having been processed using an Adobe product, most likely Premiere, based on metadata that specifically references file extensions used by the video editing software. According to experts, Adobe software, including Premiere and Photoshop, leaves traces in exported files, often embedding metadata that logs which assets were used and what actions were taken during editing. In this case, the metadata indicates the file was saved at least four times over a 23-minute span on May 23, 2025, by a Windows user account called “MJCOLE~1.” The metadata does not show whether the footage was modified before each time it was saved.

The embedded data suggest the video is not a continuous, unaltered export from a surveillance system, but a composite assembled from at least two separate MP4 files.[/b]
Wired is cautioning that the metadara does not prove tampering.

There is a missing 61 seconds from 11:58:69 to 12:00:00 which appears to be the source of conflict between Bongino and DOJ who hold him responsible.

There is a list of accused by victims.
Epstein didn't have a list of clients he was blackmailing . Pam Bondi would be technically correct saying that and ignoring victim depositions held by SDNY.
I'm open to believe he had either a Mossad ,FBI or CIA links. Once he passed them videos of his exploits , they could then blackmail politicians judges, business people etc.

So are you now in support of covering up the details? Are you telling us that since the tyrant said it will destroy lives so we should forget about it and all the victims? What are you trying to say yourself in respect to tyrant trump?

But Bill Clinton is in the files obviously, and I want the details released, so why are you advocating for its secrecy?
Stop throwing a hissy fit. Pam Bondi says he had no blackmai list. I doubt he would keep one .
How did he become rich, if she answered that it would reduce scepticism. There are most likely payments that cannot be explained in his bank statements.
There is a list of people accused of abusing girls though. That's the one I would want to see.
As for protection of Trump I have repeatedly said if he was a partner in crime , let him be charged. Joe Biden could have jailed him, You saw how Epstein and Ghislaine were charged without any of their partners getting a mention.. Ditto P Diddy, I doubt he was alone in his parties , yet his trial is over and he is the only one convicted.
We've been through photos and friendship. Epstein was a Mar a Lago club member, he definitely knew Trump. It was his business to befriend every rich person he could The names I mentioned above have not been accused of any crime.
Epstein dealings are public knowledge, whatever I put there in italics is simply a chatbot collating public info, then I added the rest.
I was very clear . There are court filings,victim testimony with hundreds of names. Pam said 254 victims These are not victims whose parents didn't buy them 🍭 lollipops. They are victims of abuse suffered under Epstein and his pervert friends.
It's hypocritical of you to worry about Epstein only because it will smear Trump. Not just hypocritical,it's disgusting.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by basilico: 8:46am On Jul 11, 2025
My thoughts on Epstein list.

Jeffrey Epstein 9qq played a significant role as a financial advisor and connector, facilitating relationships between high-net-worth individuals and JPMorgan Chase for banking and wealth management services. Specifically:
Sergey Brin: Epstein advised Brin on setting up a grantor-retained annuity trust (GRAT) in 2007, connecting him with JPMorgan Chase bankers to structure this tax-minimizing financial vehicle. While this was not a bank account per se, it involved sophisticated financial arrangements through the bank.
Other High-Profile Clients: Epstein referred several prominent individuals to JPMorgan Chase, where they became clients, likely for private banking services, which could include opening accounts or managing wealth. These individuals include:Leslie Wexner: Epstein managed Wexner’s finances extensively, acting as his financial adviser and holding power of attorney, which likely involved overseeing or facilitating banking arrangements.
Kathryn Ruemmler, Glenn Dubin, Bill Gates, Leon Black, Larry Summers, Thomas Pritzker, Mort Zuckerman, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Katie Couric: Epstein connected these individuals to JPMorgan Chase, with some becoming clients. His role was to introduce them to the bank’s Private Bank division for financial services, which could encompass account openings, though specific details about accounts are not explicitly documented.



Trump has said releasing the list of people associated with the pervert will destroy a lot of people.
Epstein might not have had a list of perverts he was blackmailing, but he definitely had a list of friends of friends.

Alan Dershowitz the lawyer and Epstein's lawyer however has said he has seen a full court list of those accused by victims of abuse. He was on the list too as John Doe 4 and went to court, but he can't reveal any name under Judges orders.

So there are those victims who have made accusations , those accusatuons should be investigated and people charged.
Pam Bondi released only 350 pages or so. Ghislaine Maxwell had demanded a laptop in her cell so she could go through millions of documents during her trial. There are millions of pages out there. DOJ should stop playing clever.

Indictments don't just come out of nowhere. People who do magumagu may have covered the tracks. I don't think they will be bringing indictments without adequate evidence.
The level of crimes since 2013 is horrifying. Fbi and DOJ investigating should have by now established political and business actors committed crimes that rise beyond anything imaginable.
The intelligence agencies are staffed with partisans. The judiciary is a big mockery of justice . Congress is thoroughly corrupt. Dark money through non profits infest and funds elections,protests and the resistance.
Only several independent prosecutors can get to the bottom of the rot.
I'm no longer inclined to all of them being indicted ,I'll be happy if the bad actors are publicly shamed . What's been covered up should be exposed.
Pam Bondi and FBI are just running the clock , waiting for the statutes of limitations to expire. I doubt they have the will to indict anyone before the same judges who are established members if the resistance and are likely to drop the cases.

Mamdani scored a 2140 out of 2400 on the SAT. At the time, this was below the median SAT score for admitted students at Columbia and, given the prevailing distribution by race, well below the median SAT score for Asian students, but likely above the median SAT score for black students

In some cases,Trump signs sn EO ,a group rushes to court and viola an injunction within hours

If there is anything to cover, they are probably destroyed by now instead of being covered.

Pam Bondi messed up big time. She says the word Epstein list without knowing what it is. If you watch the video of her saying she has it on her desk for review, you would understand she bought heavily into the conspiracy theories Alex Jones and Candace are spreading. Now she seem like a fool.
Don't see this knew going away soon.
Attorney General Pam Bondi referenced "tens of thousands of videos" of Jeffrey Epstein with children or child pornography. Regarding the number of victims, she mentioned around 250 victims on multiple occasions. For instance, in a February 2025 Fox News interview, she stated, “Two hundred victims, 200. So we have well over – over 250 actually.” In a March 1, 2025, interview with Levin, she cited “the 254 young girls, women who are victims of sex crimes and sex trafficking,” and reiterated this number in a Fox interview with Sean Hannity two days later. However, a Justice Department memo later indicated there were more than 1,000 victims, suggesting Bondi may have undersold the number.
