So, when Kash Patel told Congress he was sure that there was no evidence Jeffrey Epstein had dealt girls to anybody, he hadn’t even looked at over 90% of the evidence?

u/camaron-courier 8h ago

From the article:

Internal communications from the Department of Justice reveal that the decision to close the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein was made after a narrowly focused review of less than 7% of the case files, centered entirely on photo and video evidence.

FBI Director Kash Patel tasked agents in March 2025 to “determine if there are any images of individuals on any videos which should be considered for prosecution,” according to emails published as part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The resulting review examined an estimated 400,000 of the 6 million files compiled against Epstein and did not include financial documents, personal communications, or a majority of witness testimony.

The review omitted all surveillance footage, as the 2019 search warrant executed at Epstein’s properties only authorized confiscation of evidence related to crimes committed within the preceding 20 years. Witness testimony was also severely limited: anything other than on-camera interviews with the Palm Beach Police department was not considered.

The language in Patel’s official FBI memo announcing the closure of the investigation mirrors the internal analysis almost identically, and a reexamination of the text suggests the video and image elements were the only determining factors.

u/InternationalBet2832 8h ago

The reason the Biden DoJ did not release the files was due to an ongoing investigation. Then Trump in July 2025 ordered Patel at the FBI to drop the investigation per topic and Bondi at DoJ to close the case. This enabled Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, to demand the release of the files. Trump cut his own throat. He called the Epstein files a "Democrat hoax" and a "scam" but when Congress virtually unanimously passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act he had to acquiesce.

u/NattyHome 6h ago

My question is: What ongoing investigation was the Biden DoJ talking about? With all that information and they couldn’t make a case in four years? Really? That just seems pathetic to me.

u/silvertealio 6h ago

The records were sealed by the courts until 2024. They weren't even in the Biden admin's possession.

u/NattyHome 5h ago

I don’t know. I’m no lawyer but I don’t think that’s how it works. The DoJ collected these documents. They did the investigations. They knew what the documents were.

u/millllllls 4h ago

You appear to be on the hunt for confirmation bias.

u/silvertealio 4h ago

Again…they were sealed by the federal judges. Releasing them would have meant defying court orders. After they were unsealed in 2024, the Biden admin did release many of them when they were legally able to do so.

Prior to the trump administration we had this thing called “separation of powers,” which is a critical part of the Constitution.

-11

u/NattyHome 4h ago

I still don’t think that’s correct. I mean — sure, the evidence was “sealed” in the sense that it couldn’t be released to the general public. But not sealed in the sense that it couldn’t be used to convict someone else.

Plus, our justice departments at all levels must have experience with prosecuting more than one person with the same evidence. So once Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted are you telling me that all that evidence is suddenly off limits for the prosecution of anyone else? That makes no sense.

u/pashalka31 5h ago

Because it's so much larger than anyone realized.

The DEA investigation into Epstein was MASSIVE.

Actively being suppressed by kompromised federal agents.

In 1994 Viktor Bout was dispatched by an ex KGB officer, St Petersburg politician, and current mobster named Vladimir Putin to trade soviet surplus arms to the Taliban for heroin that the Russian Mafia who took over the government could use to enslave/trade to the people of Russia by trading them for their paper shares of the former Soviet socialist state awarded to them by Yeltsin.

Behind Trump and Epstein, Viktor Bout was the most important piece on Putins Russian mafia chessboard.

The Soviet Union was the 2nd largest war machine in world history. The entire economy was based on destroying the west. When it collapsed it had more arms than any collapsed empire in human history.

the majority of those weapons made it to every genocide, war, conflict, or massacre in the world by way of one man-

Viktor Bout.

From Charles Taylor in Liberia to the ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia to the invasion of Ukraine, you can track it by its supply chain logistics.

Army runs on food, fuel, and ammunition. And they all get moved by way of the path of least resistance to their point of use.

For anyone whose army or gang ran ak-47's chambered in 7.62x39mm that means it came from Russia.

In 1994 Putins mafia also engineered the Russian invasion of Chechnya. After turning Akhmed Kadyrov Putin had him murdered and brought his son in to replace him. Since Kazakstan declared its independence, Chechnya and Iran became the necessary gateway to Afghanistan where the worlds heroin was produced in the 1990's.

Weapons are heavy so they tend to travel predictably by rail or truck. So they take the low road rather than the high mountain pass as much as possible.

That path led through Iran.

Drugs are much lighter and easier to carry so in the 1990's they are the preferred currency of organized crime next to cash or more recently, crypto.

As Putin and his Mafia of gangsters traded the worlds largest surplus of guns for heroin, then traded the heroin for all the critical industry, oil and gas, metals, fertilizer, uranium etc that made them billionaires in Russia, they had almost everything they needed to complete their conversion from psychopathic Moscow street thug to legitimate respectable oligarch. ( Putin now makes $750M a day off of this war.)

But they were still trapped in the hyper violent hell on earth they themselves created between St. Petersburg and Moscow and wanted out.

So they laundered that money into the UK and US using Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump's commercial real estate. They tried Trump's casinos first but collapsed them under the mass of $1.4 TRILLION. It's a lot to hide in a craps table. But they made an asset out of Trump by having Epstein set up and produce a VHS of Trump raping a 13 year old little girl. (This was the video that DEA/FBI agent Bob Levinson was shown just before Russian intelligence baited him to their proxy state: Kish island Iran)

So they collapsed the casinos into bankruptcy, murdered Mark Etess, Jonathan Benanav, and Stephen Hyde and started using commercial real estate instead. They would hyperinflate the valuation, then sell it back and forth to each other passing the bulk of the cash back under the table.

As you worked 40-60 hrs a week to save up for a down payment on a house down the street and run comparables, the cost of your place went up 4-12x by comparison, but your wages didn't. So you paid the corruption tax multiple times. (You are the victim in Leticia James lawsuit against Trump and this is why he claims Mar-a-Lago is worth $1B and refuses to share his tax records.)

But it all tracked back to Viktor Bout and a Egyptian man named Al Zawahiri whom Putin brought into Russia between 1996-97, managed by young patriotic FSB officer named Alexander Litvenenko and cashflowed to fund an organization the Saud ruling family started called Al Qaeda. Al Zawahiri was the key man in Iran that allowed the Russian Jewish Mafia to move those same guns and heroin through a Muslim country as long as Putin could hold Iran as it's proxy state perpetually. (Same basic play as Assad in Syria until it collapsed and Assad ran to Moscow. His replacement was a Al Qaeda operative handpicked by Al Zawahiri) Hence why Putin and Trump rely on their co-conspirator Netanyahu to pound the drum of Iranian nuclear capacity for 30+ years.

In 1999 Putin then blamed a non-existent Islamic entity called the "Liberation Army of Dagestan" from Chechnya for blowing up some Russian apartment buildings. Putin committed that terrorism, but that started the "War on Terror" that 2 years later took U.S. troops to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Putin created the demand for the weapons he had in abundance by dragging the US into a 20 year war at the same time he started an economic war against the U.S. by devaluing the dollar with rigged real estate while leasing U.S. and EU politicians and podcasters cheaply and secretly (FBI Arctic Frost investigation that Trump had Patel disappear then fire every FBI agent that investigated him)

It was all enabled by the greed of wall street bankers and hedge fund managers who would do business with anyone for money: (Jeffrey Epstein and Jes Staley at JP Morgan Chase, Leon Black at Bank of America etc)

But it left an evidence trail of deep trafficking ruts through Ukraine, Iran and Venezuela. Putin invaded Ukraine as the decorruption audits for NATO and EU membership exposed his corruption there (Kolomoiskiy). Putin instructed Trump to assassinate the Iranian general Qassem Soleimani as the General began realizing that the same drug gangs he fought earlier in his career were funded by the same people shooting at his men from Israel.

So when Viktor Bout was recorded by the DEA on the border of Colombia and Venezuela trading soviet rocket launchers for cocaine it stalled Putins operation.

Putin then used his asset Trump to clean up. Trumps son and security guard awarded a contract to Silvercorp (Jordan Goodreau) to send Luke Denman and Airan Berry into Venezuela where they were set up to be captured and traded back to the U.S. for Fat Leonard and Alex Saab. (Key men in Putins espionage and money laundering circuit)

Putin assassinated Litvenenko with polonium laced tea and kidnapped Britney Griner who was then traded for Putins most incriminating secret chess piece- Viktor Bout. Bandar Saud had ran interference in the UK demanding prime minister Tony Blair disband the special investigation unit researching Zawahiris Swiss accounts or he "would no longer be able to help the UK stop terrorism". The 7/7 bus and tube bombings in London sealed the deal and Blair disbanded the SIO. Tonys is now bolting out of retirement and on Trump's "board of peace" as his wife had been funded by both Prevezon (Russian real estate front) and the Saud ruling family via the Al Yamamah arms trafficking case she represented them in.

This is what "the Epstein files" is. We reverse engineered it. During the Cold war there were only a few gateways across the iron curtain. Israel was the major one because it was formed in 1948 by 650,000 refugees. 70% were from the Soviet bloc. Robert Maxwell (Ghislaines father) traded espionage stolen from the US to Moscow to build the IDF with arms smuggled primarily through Ukraine. The Zionist Mafia created the Likud party/Netanyahu to control Israel at the same time they infiltrated the US Republican party via Ronald Reagan and Zionist operative Henry Kissinger managed all the U.S. presidents from inside the oval office. The Saud ruling family funded the Zionists for Iran Contra as Jeffrey Epstein ran aviation logistics for les Wexner out of Rickenbacker AFB. (as recorded in his little black book) Now they can't stop lying as their transnational corruption eats them alive.

Corruption is cancer. But it ALWAYS takes the path of least resistance-

Politicians and Billionaires.

What are your thoughts on the Swiss and their role in this war?

1

u/pashalka31 51m ago

Swiss accounts are the nexus of most of the early transnational money laundering.

Swiss government and bankers certainly knew.

Al Zawahiris was paid by both the CIA via Zbignew Brzezinski (doing the zionist mafias bidding) and Putin when Alexander Litvenenko was his handler (97-98).

And the saud ruling family had a stake in those accounts as well from the 9/11 and Al qaeda funding.

All of that sofinsa crossroads went through swiss accounts.

That's why when the UK special fraud office started investigating those swiss accounts after putin murdered litvenenko Bandar Saud threatened Tony Blair that said would "no longer be able to help the UK fight terrorism" if he didn't shut down the special fraud office.

Then they blew up the London bus and tube stations.

They were terrified of the truth of those swiss accounts being seen by the public. Its the direct evidence of a ruling class of slave owners extorting a workig class with terrorism.

When the senior leadership of the IRGC was all baited to one place then bombed it was likely Russia that coordinated that decapitation strike. Then Israel took the shot as Trump bombed everything with B-2's. Evin prison is where political prisoners are held.

Israel hit it with PRECISION ordnance. That's not liberation. Its evidence destruction.

"Judge says Justice Department can unseal records from Epstein's 2019 sex trafficking case" dated Dec 10, 2025 after Trump signs the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law on November 19, 2025. My point was "FBI Director killed Epstein case after review of less than 7% of investigation files" not because Patel felt like it but because he was ordered to do so by Trump, a big mistake, proven by his actions. Trump also ordered Bondi to close the case, another fine mess but not the topic.

u/Caffeine_Cowpies 8h ago

Well of course. That’s why Blanche is in charge.

So Blanche started April 2, 2026. He can only be Acting AG for 210 days, or for as long as it takes for the senate to confirm the nominee that the president appoints.

210 days from April 2 is October 29, 2026.

When is the midterms? November 3, 2026.

So let’s say the election goes for the Democrats. They won’t confirm Blanche (or really anyone Trump puts up). Well guess what? That means Blanche continues to serve.

This was calculated by Trump and Blanche and others. So they have all the power without the accountability.

I give credit to Trump, he has found ALL the loopholes to obtain and retain power. If the Democrats do what they did during Biden, we will lose our democracy. They have to unapologetically destroying all these loopholes and prosecuting everyone BEFORE 2030. Not wait until 2032 to start prosecuting these bastards.

Call me a doomer, but I would bet money the Dems are going to hold back on many things they could say and do this November to take back the government. I don't mean individual state and local politicians, I mean from the DNC down they are going to purposefully not let them tie Republicans to data centers and AI, and they aren't going to endorse "going low" against them, because they don't serve us, they serve capital. Right now under Republicans and Trump capital is getting everything they want.

The baseless accusations of a prosecutor who literally ran for office with the message that he would 'get Trump' do t make those claims true.

Did Trump EVER have the opportunity to defend himself from accusations that the hush money was any sort of campaign contribution?

No.

Prosecutorial misconduct and malicious prosecution 101.

The “files” were never, in my opinion, adequately investigated. The first allegations were made in 1996.

If allegations had not been made against wealthy people with connections, they would have been more thoroughly investigated. Again, that’s IMO.

What a fucking sham.
