NY - Billionaire Jeffrey Epstein arrested, sex trafficking, 6 July 2019 *FOUND DECEASED IN JAIL 10 Aug 2019* #4

[scapa]

I’ve never seen a U.S. attorney general behave in such an unprofessional manner. She’s refusing to answer questions from a member of the U.S. Senate, an equal branch of government that’s investigating criminal activity of a heinous nature.

Performing for an audience of one.

Not sure where this latest burst of public and political pressure will lead, if anywhere, but plenty at stake here for survivors of JE specifically and more generally, IMO.

I know that in my case, whilst the main perpetrator had passed away before any action was taken, discussion of the crimes and the safeguarding protocols that might have prevented or mitigated them felt enormously important for those of us impacted.

Truly crazy...

Yesterday Blanche lied? Sure seems like it from where I sit. "[DOJ] didn’t have the materials Epstein’s estate hid for years and only just provided to Congress."

Folks, I guarantee DOJ had the emails even if they somehow weren't part of the gigabytes seized directly from the criminals. Investigators gather all communications. Moreso, all communications from Epstein to Maxwell. First step to achieving that is knowing the email address [email protected]

At minimum, that address was public knowledge upon Giuffre v. Maxwell settled in 2017 which has two emails from Epstein to Maxwell written in 2015, in Exhibit J.

With the email address it's trivial to subpoena Google. Sorry, Blanche. Caught. Again...

BTW let's have a little contest and try to guess why he used that address, or why include vacation. Best guess wins!

This has become situation room level urgency for this administration.

Lauren Boebert met with Trump administration in White House situation room about Epstein files

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Wednesday that the meeting took place as the Trump administration scrambles to stop the files from being released

coloradosun.com

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, a Colorado Republican, met with Trump administration officials in the White House situation room to discuss her decision to support a bill that would require the Justice Department to release all unclassified documents and communications related to Jeffrey Epstein and his sex trafficking operation.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Wednesday that the conversation took place as part of the administration’s efforts to get Boebert and at least one other Republican congresswoman to drop their backing of the measure and a related petition that would force a vote on the legislation.

Trump directs DOJ to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with political and other figures

Trump himself is mentioned throughout the thousands of pages of Epstein emails, but his call for investigations — which AG Pam Bondi quickly answered — named only Democrats.

Release the Files

Though the name of Epstein’s texting partner is redacted in the documents, time-stamps on the text messages matched up with video from the hearing, as well as the messages’ contents, appear to indicate that Epstein was texting with Del. Stacey Plaskett, a Democrat who represents the U.S. Virgin Islands as its nonvoting delegate in the House of Representatives.

Reached by phone Thursday, Plaskett declined to answer questions about the text messages and directed all inquiries to her congressional staff. Plaskett’s chief of staff, Angeline Jabbar, said Thursday she was “not in a position to confirm or not” whether the congresswoman was texting with Epstein at the hearing.

A lot of irony in this....How about someone look into Trump's dealings with Epstein.

Sorry, Blanche. Caught. Again..

People know the evil things Maxwell did, the crimes she committed, the huge number of victims! Does Blanche have a conscience? Can he hide from his neighbors whether or not he thinks he's bound for hell?

BTW I recommend "Perversion of Justice", a book by Julie K. Brown, and Chapter 4 covers some of (NYT) Landon Thomas Jr's puff pieces. Thomas and Epstein emailing back and forth is in the released emails too. Keep in mind Epstein didn't just pay off reporters so that when he went out to a restaurant or something, staff might be slightly less inclined to presume he was evil.

It's more the other way around IMO. He wanted those he had dirt on to see the articles like the one I link below, and take it as a sign he could get ANYTHING printed.

BTW let's have a little contest and try to guess why JEE used [email protected], or why include vacation. Best guess wins!

Financier Starts Sentence in Prostitution Case
By Landon Thomas Jr. (NYT)
"Epstein has changed his e-mail address to alert people that he will be unavailable for the next 18 months. The new address indicates he is “on vacation.”

tl/dr... Epstein's euphemism for "in jail"

Trump will either veto it or the DOJ/Blondi will refuse because she can’t release them because there’s now an open case investigating Democrats. Trump set this up so they won’t be released, thanks to his clever attorneys. I hope I’m wrong.

A French branch of HSBC closed a bank account maintained by Jeffrey Epstein in 2007 after compliance officers flagged transactions for suspicious activity, including payments tied to a modeling agent later accused of rape & sex traffickingThe previously unreported closure, which HSBC officials announced to Epstein in a letter dated Dec. 21, 2007, is the only known instance of a major bank closing one of his accounts before he pleaded guilty to sex offenses in Fla. in 2008.

An HSBC spokesman declined to comment. But two people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that the bank closed Epstein’s account because employees in its compliance department raised red flags. Their concerns included financial transactions involving young women associated with the French modeling agency MC2 and its owner, Jean-Luc Brunel…

"According to the attorneys' filing, the House Oversight release included the unredacted names and personal information of dozens of victims, including women who were minors at the time of their abuse.

One document alone contained 28 unredacted names of alleged victims, the attorneys wrote.

Based on the scope of the issue, the attorneys said that they believe the DOJ either "does not know the identities of all the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and thus cannot apply proper redactions to the files," or "is intentionally failing to protect victims from public exposure." "
