in this video outlining how Maxwell came to be a groomer for Epstein and other elites in his sex trafficking ring... and how the public never really heard what happened during Epstein's trial....
Easy. Epstein was under investivation and nobody could release those files.
Before Epstein, there was John Casablancas, in the same business, and the felon associated with him too. Beauty pageants for 14, to 18 year old girls, at Trump Plaza or a friendly hotel. Casablancas was accused of raping more than one 14 year old.
He and Trump were 40+ year old "men." Felon defended his right to walk through the dressing area with young girls in all stages of dress and undress because he owned the pageant and venue, and that was his right and perk.
It's a pattern with the felon. He's about as innocent as my foot fits into a size 3 shoe. You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
Umm, Epstein was dead well before Biden took office.
as more and more was being discovered. The files could not be released.
I brought up John Casablancas whose child sex trafficking and pageantry business preceded Epstein. Felon was there too? It is a pattern. Who in "legacy media" is connecting the dots?

Yes, it was, but you wrote that Epstein was under investigation.
It expanded, and expanded as more was learned. The flood covers the mudflats in which the guilty are stuck, including the felon. He's not hiding in shame. Or because he did wrong. He hides for self protection and no other reason.
He wants the files released because he expects his DoJ to put them back under investigation before the House gets them. Then he can claim he tried, but can't go against the investigation.

his case hadn't even been decided yet? Who was appealing?
I thought it had to do with the fact that he was DEAD and so there was no legitimate reason to release the files until or unless someone else was charged, like Ghislaine Maxwell. Plus, apparently trump sealed them after Epstein's death.
Did you know that they found her in a small town in NH, living on a road near some friends of ours? They knew her but under a different name and were all freaking out when her house was surrounded by police & FBI as she was taken into custody. No one had any clue who or what she was. I don't know how she was found, perhaps real estate records under her real name?
I think it might have been because of her escape and later trial that files weren't released then.
Plus, it isn’t normally done just to embarrass people who weren't charged or who are still under investigation.
March 2005: Police in Palm Beach, Florida, begin investigating Epstein after the family of a 14-year-old girl reports she was molested at his mansion. Multiple underage girls, many of them high school students, would later tell police Epstein hired them to give sexual massages.
May 2006: Palm Beach police officials sign paperwork to charge Epstein with multiple counts of unlawful sex with a minor, but the county’s top prosecutor, State Attorney Barry Krischer, takes the unusual step of sending the case to a grand jury.
2007: Federal prosecutors prepare an indictment against Epstein. But for a year, the money manager’s lawyers engage in talks with the U.S. attorney in Miami, Alexander Acosta, about a plea bargain that would allow Epstein to avoid a federal prosecution. Epstein’s lawyers decry his accusers as unreliable witnesses.
June 2008: Epstein pleads guilty to state charges: one count of solicitating prostitution and one count of soliciting prostitution from someone under the age of 18. He is sentenced to 18 months in jail. Under a secret arrangement, the U.S. attorney’s office agrees not to prosecute Epstein for federal crimes. Epstein serves most of his sentence in a work-release program that allows him to leave jail during the day to go to his office, then return at night.
July 2009: Epstein is released from jail. For the next decade, multiple women who say they are Epstein’s victims wage a legal fight to get his federal non-prosecution agreement voided, and hold him and others liable for the abuse. One of Epstein’s accusers, Virginia Giuffre, says in her lawsuits that, starting when she was 17, Epstein and his girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, set up sexual encounters with royalty, politicians, academicians, businessmen and other rich and powerful men, including Britain’s Prince Andrew. All of those men deny the allegations.
November 2018: The Miami Herald revisits the handling of Epstein’s case in a series of stories focusing partly on the role of Acosta — who by this point is President Donald Trump’s labor secretary — in arranging his unusual plea deal. The coverage renews public interest in the case.
July 6, 2019: Epstein is arrested on federal sex trafficking charges after federal prosecutors in New York conclude they aren’t bound by the terms of the earlier non-prosecution deal. Days later, Acosta resigns as labor secretary amid public outrage over his role in the initial investigation.
Aug. 10, 2019: Guards find Epstein dead in his cell at a federal jail in New York City. Investigators conclude he killed himself.
July 2, 2020: Federal prosecutors in New York charge Ghislaine Maxwell with sex crimes, saying she helped recruit the underage girls that Epstein sexually abused and sometimes participated in the abuse herself.
Dec. 30, 2021: After a monthlong trial, a jury convicts Maxwell of multiple charges, including sex trafficking, conspiracy and transportation of a minor for illegal sexual activity.
June 28, 2022: Maxwell is sentenced to 20 years in prison.
January 2024: Public interest in the Epstein case surges after a judge unseals thousands of pages of court records in a civil lawsuit involving one of his victims. Almost all of the information was already public and the dayslong document dump proves disappointing to people who hoped it would spill new secrets about wrongdoing by the rich and powerful. But it fuels demands for even more records to be made public.
2024: Trump, who was in office when Epstein was arrested, suggests during the presidential campaign that he’d seek to open the government’s Epstein files.
February 2025: Attorney General Pam Bondi suggests in a Fox News Channel interview that an Epstein “client list” is sitting on her desk. The Justice Department distributes binders marked “declassified” to far-right influencers at the White House, but it quickly becomes clear much of the information had long been in the public domain.
July 7, 2025: The Justice Department says Epstein didn’t maintain a “client list” and it won’t make any more files related to his sex trafficking investigation public.
July 17, 2025: The Wall Street Journal describes a sexually suggestive letter that the newspaper says bore Trump’s name and was included in a 2003 album for Epstein’s 50th birthday. Trump denies writing the letter, calling it “false, malicious, and defamatory.” The next day Trump sues the paper and media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
July 18, 2025: The Trump administration asks a federal court to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Epstein’s case in an effort to put a political crisis to rest.
July 23, 2025: A judge rejects a Trump administration request to unseal transcripts from the Epstein grand jury investigation in Florida but similar requests for grand jury transcripts in the cases against Epstein and Maxwell in New York remain pending. Meanwhile, a House Oversight subcommittee voted to subpoena the Justice Department for files. The full committee issued a subpoena for Maxwell to testify before committee officials in August.
Of course she still is. I didnt remember that it was that long ago that she was located.
Even so, the timeline fits perfectly with trump sealing the files and then using the idea of releasing them to get elected by suggesting that it was full of Democrats instead of full of HIM along with others of various persuasions.
Clearly, trump thought he could keep HIS name protected, but Epstein's family and estate decided that they would release their own record of private emails full of trump to hit back at him for his lies about his own involvement.
I've always thought that trump was involved in Epstein's death and that it was not a suicide, but an arranged murder to keep him quiet since he'd turned on trump.
Why would he kill himself? To avoid jail? He was already IN jail. Being alive in jail is better than being dead and free.
