5. K&R for sheer pithiness and depth...

Awesome.

As my mind grinds through this I keep coming back to why the FBI list would be so important? It's a little clearer once you realize that the Epstein queew canon states that raw incriminating materials were immediately seized and spirited away by the Deep State in the guise of the FBI... Never to be seen again.

However, a couple of things. IF Epstein were primarily in the business of extortion, he surely was smart enough to keep multiple stashes of these items. Some in dead drops and others with individuals who know the right thing to do without being told. People you'd least expect or even groups. None of this stuff would be in one safe... Let's give Epstein credit for not being an idiot.

In this scenario, he was pressed for all of the material, he refused. I'm guessing partly because some of it was in the hands of those, he has no control over. So, he was silenced at the risk that somewhere some of this material would pop up.

Okay, now there's other considerations that I keep reenforcing even though it won't be accepted. Let's say the FBI really did get some of this odious and filthy evidence in their raids. It would never be included in an official release. NEVER! We're talking about people who will redact pronouns and conjunctions for even the mildest releases you can imagine at the DoJ. Especially, when it involves Republicans it seems.

There's the third course where fraudulent media containing prominent figures the right-wing hates would be generated using AI or what-not is included with the release of "the client list". I have to say, that would be some of the most ridiculous porn the world has ever seen. It would be absolutely obvious that it was faked and would swallow the story whole without even spitting out the bones. The credibility of the DoJ, FBI, and the government as a whole would never recover. Now, I'm not saying they won't try. I've stopped trying to predict a bottom for these weird creeps.

I think it is interesting that Pam Bondi was the AG of Florida in 2007 when Epstein was indicted... kentuck Jul 15 #15
She wasn't AG back then. Tommy Carcetti Jul 15 #18
She was the AG though from 2011-2019 - She had to be aware of this case. The victims had an ongoing lawsuit tulipsandroses Jul 15 #21
