We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

What the Iran strikes were actually hiding (a major story about DoJ accountability and 47,635 missing Epstein files) (www.mediaite.com)

From Mediaite:

DOJ Chose Which Epstein Files You’d See — And Left Out the Trump Ones: WSJ

The biggest Epstein files story yet dropped Tuesday night in the Wall Street Journal, and you probably missed it.

The United States has just launched military strikes on Iran, and every screen in the country was pointed at the Middle East. In that environment, a major accountability story about the Justice Department and 47,635 missing Epstein files didn’t stand much of a chance of breaking through the noise. It deserves one.

Here is what the Journal found: After analyzing the DOJ’s public Epstein database, the paper identified tens of thousands of files that appeared to be missing. When reporters Sadie Gurman and Caitlin Ostroff pressed the Justice Department about the discrepancy, a spokeswoman confirmed that 47,635 documents were being held offline for further review. The department hadn’t previously volunteered that information and confirmed it only after being asked directly about the gap.

That number alone should reshape how the public understands the DOJ’s legally bound rollout of Epstein documents . . .

Note: While worthy on its own, this Mediaite opinion piece relies heavily on Wall Street Journal original reporting. I highly recommend reading it for additional context:

So another person can go into hiding, while absolutely nobody is held accountable at home?
