The Trump-Epstein Files

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.

Imagine this guy being found alive and well in some kind of safe house in Tel Aviv or Moscow.

For the complete picture, so far we have:

  • Bill Barr, AG at the time of the “suicide”, handwriting on the last know postcard sent by Epstein, looking really sus.
  • several drafts of the DOJ’s eventual press release on the “suicide”, several of those drafts dated one day before he died
  • Epstein’s personal Fed Ex account being used by “someone” for sending stuff many years after his death. Per The Ditch

This is a script written by involuntary criminals. These are people (Bill Barr, Bondi, Patel, …) who are not experienced at criming, and doing it for the first time and being very incompetent. And for the Trumps and Epsteins, Gates, Branson in this they were simply never expecting to have to crime at all. Until this very moment they think they are immune to any consequences.

Release all the files, only redact the victims, as per the Law.

That or good luck turning off the internet.

I don't know why they would want him alive. But I also wonder why would they go to such lengths doxxing only one of the 4chan posters who turned out to be a guard at the facility. And his account of the events was getting shit on because it sounded like a plot from the X-Files.

couldn't it simply be that lots of other people know the corporate account number and just spout it out to ship stuff at the expense of a dead man?

There's also the 4chan poster identified as prison staff Roberto Grijalva, describing how they carted him out. But I don't remember which IP address was used for that one. IIRC, there were at least two IP addresses used when these posts were made, and they only hunted down one of them. So the more exotic version could have been the non-investigated IP and therefore a higher likelihood to be planted. But again, I don't remember important details.

There were two ips. One confirmed to NYC/NJ and a second to Chicago.

There were 4 posts. 3 allege basic medical treatment. A fourth alleges a midnight swap out.

And his Fortnite account

I still don't see what keeping him alive does. Sure, I'm assuming rational actors, but this is a guy who already got caught twice, was dragging other people into the gravity of his criminal investigations, and killing him makes way more sense. Two people can keep a secret if one of them is dead, as they say.

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I agree with you. It doesn’t make sense to not kill him. But it also didn’t make sense to prosecute him so lightly for such a mountain of evidence, or to keep him alive until 2019, when he already had run out his purpose. Also, Ghislaine knows just as much, yet she’s still alive. The suicide looked like a murder according to Mark Epstein, but I’m not sure if his brother actually got to see the body and identified him.
