Advocates call for further disclosures after Trump’s justice department released more than 3m files last week

The release of about 3m Jeffrey Epstein investigative files has failed to quell outrage over justice department officials’ handling of these disclosures, with advocates claiming potentially millions of documents are still being withheld.

Donald Trump’s Department of Justice was required to disclose all investigative files by 19 December under The Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA). While the justice department did release some documents on that date, last week’s disclosure came nearly six weeks after this deadline.

The missed deadline and up to 3m files that remain unreleased have prompted criticism and calls for further disclosure to answer how Epstein sexually abused girls with impunity for decades and landed a sweetheart plea deal about 20 years ago that allowed him to avoid federal prosecution.

There’s millions of files still missing. Throw Bondi in contempt of congress

[-] Sunflier@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

My god. How bad are those additional files? Is there a video in them of tRump fucking a 10-year-old?

[-] dancroissant@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

It's everything that pizza-gate was, pizza-gate was the mis-information campaign designed to normalize, and muddy the information that was going to eventually come out.

Idk man, that pizza shit was weird af. Flesh Simulator does a good, unbiased presentation of the evidence in those files cross-referenced with other case files from satanic cult cases. If you think pizza-gate is a nothing burger, I'd encourage you to listen to his findings.

murder, torture , rape documented, its not only trump. hes probably teaming up with other rapists: world leaders, ceos and other executives.

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I'm guessing murder. Some of the shit I've heard seems to elude to that...

[-] TrollTrollrolllol@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It's difficult to say this, but it's probably a lot worse than that.

[-] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

It appears we're in a cycle of murdering citizens to distract from the Epstein files, then releasing more of the files to distract from the murders, then murdering more citizens to distract from the files.

If our justice system won't hold people accountable, perhaps it's time to consider ways of holding people accountable that don'trely on our justice system.

Yeah, because when you release documents that points to the POTUS being accused of SA of a 13 year old and then you delete them immediately of course no one will trust that you're being "transparent".

[-] madjo@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago

Now if only these Trump-Epstein pedo files came with consequences for the people mentioned in them.

Far too many people are still walking free without a care in the world despite appearing in the Trump-Epstein pedo files.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Bondi needs to be disbarred and sent to prison

[-] hector@lemmy.today 6 points 3 days ago

What is worse is it was reported the FBI had 1,000 agents all last year going through these files, 8 million in total, redacting stuff, and they still didn't seem to have been finished. Each agent would have to review and redact 8,000 files if I remember that figure correctly, 300 days of work makes it about 30 files a day.

[-] lmagitem@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 days ago

The hell it must be for those agents. Imagine going to Quantico, training like crazy to be what you think is a force for good, and your job ends up being looking at millions of proofs of the most unspeakable things every day for a fucking year... TO COVER IT.

I'm absolutely floored we haven't seen massive leaks and reports of FBI agents offing themselves left and right.

They are mostly closeted nazis enjoying this work. Their actions and inaction’s surely implies this.

99.99% of all armed enforcement in USA are outright or closeted nazis and I never want to hear sob story of uncle Joe who is a good apple. Fuck them all.

[-] lmagitem@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Even if they're nazis, you'd think that some of them would have a bit of empathy for children being raped. Especially since as Epstein was racist he only trafficked white girls.

[-] scifun@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Their inaction and outright support seems to indicate otherwise.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago

why do you think trump invaded venezuela and then , not a peep after, and then the ice invasions, he knew the epstein files were going to be revealed soon, and hes try to flood the zone.

[-] slothrop@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago

Is it a 'claim' or is it simply the truth?

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Are these the same files as the tRUMP Epstein files?

[-] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

Pretty sure ICE is to kidnap humans that Epstein can't traffic any longer. Pervs
