    So it was more than Trump? How many are on the Epstein List and also in his current administration is going to be the real question.

        Already do, even if they didn’t do the actual crime they know who did and won’t say anything that makes them just as bad

    • Honestly, doing this for would be such a hilarious operational vulnerability that I think it would be like a dinner bell ringing to th international spy community lol.

      If they release files with only Republican names blocked out, all it’ll take is a single congressperson to read the full list of names that appear in the documents out loud during a speech and into the public record — then, Internet sleuths and journalists will be able to piece together names from details, they always do.

    The acting deputy chief of a Justice Department unit said on hidden camera that the government will “redact every Republican” from an Epstein client list. He later admitted he was basing his comments on media reports.

    Why it matters: The O’Keefe Media Group, a far-right media organization, secretly recorded Joseph Schnitt’s comments and published them on Thursday.

      Based on the fact that no corporate media sewers have picked up the story (it only appears on Hindustan Times, HuffPost, Daily Beast, MSN, Times Now (?), Yahoo, and the O’Keefe Media Group website) I’m going to guess it’s not actually of any value, so to speak.

      If he “admitted” it was “based on media reports” i.e. he never saw the list or has anything to do with it, it’s just the “O’Keefe Media Group” (jesus fred christ on a busted goddamned crutch) trying to get some viral press.

      Now, yes perhaps the corporate news sewers are trying to suppress the story and the “O’Keefe Media Group” has scored a huge takedown of the trump administration. But all things being equal, probably not.

    Reporter: “Comically evil corruption gets me so hot.”

    Shithead: “Oh yeah? Better hold on to your armrests then or you’re going to slip off that chair.”

    Give O’Keefe well-known problems with the truth, I do have some reservations about context, etc.

    Still, that video, yikes.

    Aren’t the republicans the party of Christianity? Numbers 31:18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

    Never mind …

    “I met a woman named Skylar on Hinge, a dating app, in July 2025, her profile is no longer findable. We had two dates (August 4 and August 16). She claimed to be an au pair in Georgetown. She gave no clues that she was a reporter or recording our dates. Had I a clue, the first date would have ended immediately and there never would have been a second one.

    My profile indicated I did “Government” work but did not specify for which agency. I never discussed what do at DOJ.

    The comments I made were my own personal comments on what l’ve learned in the media and not from anything l’ve done at or learned via work. I have no knowledge of the circumstances surrounding Ms.

    Maxwell other than what is reported in the news. I also never divulged anything about what I do at work. I recall that she asked if I had any knowledge about Maxwell and I specifically said I only know what’s been reported in the media.”

    Aw. Skylar seems nice. Also, isn’t it funny this is what Epstein was doing, only with underage rape instead of a cup of coffee, and for governmental leverage instead of viral hit points.
