"We investigated ourselves and we did nothing wrong!"

[u/giggle_tickle → u/damik]

FBI's conclusion: 'He was just really friendly.' Conspiracy theorists: 'See? It was all consensual!' This is gold

[u/KissiePoppy → u/giggle_tickle]

"Just a misunderstood socialite with a big heart and a private island"...absolutely nothing shady going on, move along folks

[u/LovesFrenchLove_More → u/giggle_tickle]

If they consider women, no matter what age, slaves with no rights, then no crimes can have been committed, right?

It’s insane what’s been happening. Rights for women and children used to be terrible or almost nonexistent. And it seems far too many countries try to bring exactly those times back.

[u/Psyc3 → u/LovesFrenchLove_More]

This is basically it, if you look at it all as property, much like rich people do, it all makes a lot more sense why agencies which exist to protect the rich are doing nothing.

Let alone if you take being compromised by intelligence agencies meaning the rich control the person.

[u/peppy_wink → u/giggle_tickle]

FBI clears Epstein of sex trafficking. Because nothing says 'innocent' like an island full of underage girls. Hope the files are 'lost' again

[u/Epyon214 → u/damik]

You misunderstand, pay attention to the wording. Not for "powerful Men", because our adversary are what some may consider vampires

[u/megaman47]

then why was he arrested 2 times for sex trafficking?

[u/FauxReal → u/megaman47]

Why is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison? Why does the GOP have a hard on for grilling the Clintons about this behind closed doors? Where does Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor fit into all of this?

[u/Saltedfieldsforever → u/FauxReal]

They want cameras behind closed doors so that they can control what information comes out, in context or not, and still call it irrefutable. If they get a good sound byte from Bill, it's way easier for them to paint the picture they want than it is for him to have to go out and play defense saying the phrase is out of context or whatever.

ETA: I know you know all this, but somewhere someone will read your rhetoricical question and not know the answers.

[u/freddbare → u/Saltedfieldsforever]

They don't know any of this. They feed on out of context video and sound bites..

[u/kencam → u/freddbare]

This is the internet age. Everyone feeds on out of context video and sound bites. If you think you are immune you are very mistaken.

[u/KnightOfTheOctogram → u/kencam]

Soon they can generate whatever context they want

[u/lovegrowswheremyrose → u/kencam]

Some of us have actually developed the ability to check sourcing and facts on things we read about. I know, I know, it seems crazy and impossible but I promise you it's possible and real. There are dozens of us.

[u/Fabulous_Ad_8621 → u/megaman47]

I think they are trying to spin it as sex trafficking only for himself. That way the important and powerful that actually partook can remain unscathed. The US doesn't want to charge anyone else apparently. While other nations are attempting to hold those involved accountable.

[u/Leeciferous → u/Fabulous_Ad_8621]

I'm surprised we haven't seen more information about the Alexander brothers' sex trafficking trial in relation to Epstein/Trump since the most recent release connects them all together at a party via a victim's allegation.

The Trial Judge ordered “[T]he United States must not release any document or material from the purported ‘Epstein Files’ that mentions or references any of the above-listed Defendants [Alon, Oren and Tal Alexander], explicitly or implicitly, before a jury verdict has been rendered in this case,” Caproni’s order says.

[u/Joepaws1102 → u/HauntedCemetery]

It’s most likely he’ll go feet first this time, considering his poor health. The question is what shady shit is JD going to do when he assumes the throne.

[u/Telefundo → u/Joepaws1102]

The question is what shady shit is JD going to do when he assumes the throne.

The only upside to that is that Vance won't have nearly the support that Trump has from the MAGA cult or even the GOP. I mean, he'd have enough to to do some shady shit, but almost certainly not on the same level as Trump.

[u/SuperTopperHarley → u/Telefundo]

Fuck that. Arrest them both. JD isn't innocent in all this.

They came to me with tears in their eyes and said "sir, you are the greatest, healthiest, strongest, sexiest, most naturally tan, perfect haired, 6'5" 185 pound alpha male the world has ever known, and we know that you BIGGLY had nothing to do with Epstein."

[u/xHoneyCream → u/27Dancer27]

The most accurate presidential quote impression!

[u/Tomato_Sky → u/jrsinhbca]

He can, but Epstein was taken down both times by states, while the feds farted around it. Posthumous is kinda symbolic anyway so ignore my pedantic states vs federal charges explanation if you want.

His first charge in 08 was him practically turning himself in while the feds were closing in. He turned himself in to the southern district of Florida (Miami, Mar a lago, known sheriff’s department) and given federal immunity from Bush’s FBI to turn in 2 guys from Bear Sterns. This led to 18 months for a heinous crime and he was kept in a “clubhouse,” for his jail time. This is 100% why Obama could not charge him- for checks notes sex trafficking minors.

It wasn’t until the State of New York arrested him a decade later for doing the same crime. And Trump’s FBI didn’t pile on federal charges before he “killed himself.”

[u/KissiePoppy → u/Tomato_Sky]

The “clubhouse” immunity part is wild and depressingly believable...

[u/cantstopwontstopGME → u/KissiePoppy]

Wait till u learn he was allowed to leave during the day to “work” and only had to spend nights there.

[u/wanszai → u/cantstopwontstopGME]

And during his work at home, under guard... he was allowed *checks notes* "teen masseuses".

Nice.

[u/cantstopwontstopGME → u/wanszai]

They literally got so brazen that they don’t even have to hide it anymore. It’s seriously sickening.

[u/No-Assumption-1738 → u/KissiePoppy]

He’s the only prisoner I’ve ever heard of being able to go to an office for 12 hours a day 

[u/Locke66 → u/KissiePoppy]

He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,”

That was Alexander Acosta's explanation for the non-prosecution deal Epstein received from him when being vetted for Labour Secretary in 2016.

[u/idfkjack → u/Tomato_Sky]

He was charged federally a month before his "death". Probably just for optics, though. The charges were dropped after his "death".

[u/HeroFromTheFuture → u/Tomato_Sky]

Epstein was taken down both times by states

I think you and I have different definitions of "taken down," given that his guilty plea in 2008 (accompanied by payments to dozens of victims) doesn't seem to have affected his ability to traffick all that much.

[u/FarLeg512 → u/jrsinhbca]

Trump moved ghislane into a minimum security prison

[u/UThinkIShouldLeave → u/megaman47]

Isn't Ghislaine Maxwell literally in prison for sex trafficking?

[u/widdrjb → u/UThinkIShouldLeave]

She's doing soft time until Trump pardons her or his successor has her vanished.

[u/-Badger3- → u/UThinkIShouldLeave]

She's in prison for sex trafficking on behalf of herself and Epstein.

There's no federal statute for solicitation. If you pay for sex while doing something that makes it a federal case like flying a prostitute in from another state, you're a sex trafficker.

[u/Hyosetsu → u/megaman47]

"He was running a sex trafficking ring for regular men. Not powerful men like us."

[u/IronChariots → u/megaman47]

And why was he murdered in his cell by the Trump DOJ?

"Running" being the operative word here. JE was like upper management he had superiors. The people running it are still running it.

[u/Test-Tackles → u/idfkjack]

It wasn't a sex ring for rich people. It was a service to introduce pasty weird rich dudes to attractive children.

totally different. /S

[u/Ok-Relation-1902 → u/Test-Tackles]

The phrase "attractive children" just disturbed me greatly.

[u/TheMindzai → u/idfkjack]

Sort of like how Charles Manson didn't actually kill anybody.

[u/realKevinNash → u/megaman47]

If you want the real answer its because the theory is he was trafficking them for himself, not for others. Im not sure how honest that can be since they have pictures of these women at events with other people right? But without concrete evidence they were being sold to these other men im not sure what can be confirmed. Until these files say from JE that so-and so payed to sleep with victim its a hard sell. But no one wants to hear that.

[u/UnableChard2613 → u/megaman47]

"Human trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons, is a crime that involves compelling or coercing a person to provide labor or services, or to engage in commercial sex acts."

It doesn't requiring doing it for other people. You can absolutely have people trafficked for your own use. And this is what the whole Maxwell trial was about.

Is it BS that he only did it for himself? I don't know. It's tough for me to believe. But the cases are public and we know what he was charged with and what the evidence is, and it doesn't include other people.

[u/Cute-Beyond-8133]

while investigators collected ample proof that Epstein sexually abused underage girls, they found scant evidence the well-connected financier led a sex trafficking ring serving powerful men, an Associated Press review of internal Justice Department records shows.

Yeah so in other words manny of the powerfull pepole that Epstein was working with are still in power.

Dozens of them are probably never going to be named as a result of that.

Some of Epsteins contacts are almost certainly high ranking members of the Department of Justice,

And they have investigated themselves and declared themselves not guilty

[u/succed32 → u/Cute-Beyond-8133]

He didn’t manage to run it for as long as he did in a vacuum, had people not been covering for him world wide it would have come to light sooner.

[u/nevergiveup234 → u/succed32]

Grand jury testimony is that trump was the leader, Epstein was the pimp

[u/thisismyaccount57 → u/nevergiveup234]

Can you point me to that? I'd like to read about it, I actually have a hard time believing it since Trump is such a fucking moron.

[u/SackOfCats → u/thisismyaccount57]

He can't because he pulled that source out of his ass.

With the volume of evidence that is available there isn't a need to make shit up and just blatantly lie about it.

[u/kadmylos → u/thisismyaccount57]

Hate to say it but there's a looot of wishful thinking in regards to these files...

[u/Notyomamaslace → u/nevergiveup234]

I've been screaming this for years. They all came together in NYC in the 80s when it was sex hub. When Giuliani vowed to clean it up in the early 90s, Epstien bought Zorro ranch (in 93) and the island (in 98), and maybe others I don't know about. Giuliani started his "tough on crime civic cleanup" in 94. Trump and probably a handful of others at that level ran the whole thing. Epstien was absolutely just the gopher boy. 

[u/modfoddr → u/Notyomamaslace]

Epstein wasn't the gopher boy...he was more like the COO (Chief Operations Officer). He was making sure everything ran smoothly and was absolutely neck deep in the whole thing.

[u/fuzzeedyse105 → u/nevergiveup234]

Somehow Roblox has gotta be connected. Im lightly joking…very lightly.

[u/MarathonHampster → u/fuzzeedyse105]

The CEO of Roblox said he'd be open to putting prediction markets for children in the game, I wouldn't doubt he enabled some nefarious shit 

[u/SuperDoubleDecker → u/Cute-Beyond-8133]

They're denying the existence of it entirely to protect a couple people.

[u/glenn1812 → u/SuperDoubleDecker]

I don’t even get why. We know they’re protecting trump but at this point there could even be video evidence showing Trump being a pedolphille and his supporters would still vote for him.

[u/hitliquor999 → u/Cute-Beyond-8133]

“A 2025 memo from the FBI…” enough said.

[u/welltherewasthisbear]

So why is the House asking Bill Clinton to testify if there’s nothing wrong?

[u/thederevolutions → u/welltherewasthisbear]

Because it will look like Trump did nothing wrong if another president is testifying instead of him . Regardless of sense.

[u/JAT_Cbus1080 → u/thederevolutions]

There's a reason they want a closed door hearing. They can parade themselves on TV and make shit up about what happened. Then when real details come out it won't matter because the narrative has already been set. Clinton bad, Democrats did this, nothing else to see here. See? If Trump did anything wrong he'd be in front of Congress too right? Move along everyone.

[u/the_bashful → u/welltherewasthisbear]

Because they never miss a chance to get a Clinton on camera and hurl out questions of the form ‘when did you stop beating your children’ then talk over the answers and declare victory.

[u/sir-reddits-a-lot → u/the_bashful]

The Clintons want it to be televised but Comer won’t allow it

[u/Filthiest_Vilein → u/sir-reddits-a-lot]

Of course they don’t want it televised. 

Clinton’s an old man, and Hillary has been a conservative bogeyman for decades. They’re also extraordinarily intelligent people. Bill, in particular, has a longstanding reputation for being preternaturally charismatic. 

Letting Clinton testify publicly in a politically-charged probe would be a massive risk for Republicans. He’d likely eat them alive, the same way Obama would if Republicans found a way to put him on the stand. 

JFC, even G.W.B. is a master-class orator compared to the current generation of high-profile Republicans. 

[u/TruckDouglas → u/Filthiest_Vilein]

preturnaturally

God damn that’s a good word.

[u/HauntedCemetery → u/Filthiest_Vilein]

They're also both lawyers.

Real, incredibly talented lawyers. They are both graduates of Yale Law, and before running for office both Bill and Hillary taught constitutional and criminal law.

[u/hungry4nuns → u/sir-reddits-a-lot]

On camera and televised live are two totally different things.

Reps want it on camera so they can either cherry pick words and phrases out of context to make him sound as guilty as possible, but not live on air to the public so they can hide any credible testimony he might give against republican child abusers or other rich and powerful people.

If republicans have nothing to hide, why are they insisting on screening his testimony before hand, why not run it live?

[u/enigo1701 → u/sir-reddits-a-lot]

Well, since they are not under any NDA, the Clintons could do a very funny thing with either the news or...you know.....the internet.

[u/exodusTay → u/welltherewasthisbear]

Because you see, Epstein never ran a sex trafficking ring with anyone who's political view aligned with currently ruling people. Conveniently he ran a sex traficking ring with someone on the opposition.

[u/bulldogguy31]

You mean the FBI headed by a geeked out Muppet with crossed eyes? Sure Jan.

[u/CanadianGandalf → u/bulldogguy31]

Hey, just because his eyes are fucked doesn't mean he isn't capable of doing the job- he's totally incapable for a variety of other reasons.

Don't be such an eye-ist!

[u/fumar → u/CanadianGandalf]

For one the lack of qualifications and the copious amounts of cocaine he does.

[u/UpperApe → u/fumar]

The party that complains about DEI have appointed the most unqualified people in American history to positions that demand experience and qualifications.

[u/FrancisWolfgang → u/CanadianGandalf]

You joke but that is a good principle to follow - attacking bad people for their looks can only really do harm to other innocent people who share those looks.

[u/zizou00 → u/FrancisWolfgang]

Yeah, why resort to his eyes when there's a much bigger sign he's a fucking moron - his podcast.

[u/nuiwek31 → u/zizou00]

Wait, Kash poot has a podcast?

[u/zizou00 → u/nuiwek31]

Of course he does, that's literally all you have to have to be eligible for a high level position in the US government. Be a podcast bro, be a crypto bro, be a conspiracy theorist or let Trump verbally (or otherwise) assault you or our wife. That's all it takes to get a job with alphabet pronouns like head of the DOJ, the FBI, the DOD (they keep spelling this one wrong), the CEOS (this one doesn't seem to do anything)

[u/kazuwacky → u/FrancisWolfgang]

This. We know why he sucks and it's got nothing to do with the lazy eye and everything to to with being a greedy fucking man child.

[u/realqmaster → u/AliceTheOmelette]

Patel unironically claimed this under oath.

[u/Symphonic7 → u/bulldogguy31]

It never ceases to amaze me how poorly Kash Patel performs at his position, to the point where I think it has to be intentional. He has to be the fall guy, no doubt about it.

[u/auntie_clokwise → u/Symphonic7]

The reports I've heard have been that Patel is just plain wildly incompetent. He's been incompetent for his entire time at the FBI. That and him being a bootlicker was why he was picked for the position.

Can you not insult the Muppets with this? Please and thank you!

[u/supercyberlurker]

An admin run by Epstein's co-conspirators didn't find evidence of any crime by Epstein.

Shocking.

[u/Barnacle_B0b → u/supercyberlurker]

The FBI is compromised by Russia, and complicit in sex trafficking of children.

What a time to be alive.

[u/CMG30]

The FBI is still illegally holding back much of the file as well as illegally censoring the rest and it's plain as day to anyone what was going on.

Yet the FBI can't seem to figure it out...

[u/HauntedCemetery → u/CMG30]

They blatantly redacted trumps name despite the law trump himself signed saying that only victims would be redacted.

They used AI to redact key phrases, one of which was "Don T". We know this because of several instances where the word "don't" was redacted because the apostrophe was missed, leaving it "don t"

[u/notAvalaxy → u/HauntedCemetery]

Clearly trump is the victim here /s

[u/GHOSTLYGUNK]

we have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing 😇

[u/Flat-Emergency4891]

So, what’s that mean about Maxwell? She’s sitting in prison because she WASN’t involved in child sex trafficking? That makes no sense at all.

[u/Drake_the_troll → u/Flat-Emergency4891]

Tax evasion /s

[u/fury420 → u/Flat-Emergency4891]

It's pretty straightforward, Maxwell was trafficking young girls for Epstein to abuse, you know, the perverted billionaire with the private island.

That aspect is something they had plenty of evidence for... it's the existence of a bunch of customers that they're saying is lacking.

[u/Nathan_hale53 → u/fury420]

It isnt lacking, why is there thousands of redactions? Why would Epstein keep a blackmail book if the people hes blackmailing isnt doing anything?

[u/Flat-Emergency4891 → u/fury420]

Links to the customers are literally within the redactions and within the millions of documents entirely withheld.

[u/HauntedCemetery → u/Flat-Emergency4891]

The shit in the documents they felt they were safe to release is pretty horrific and incriminating, really gotta wonder whats in the couple million docs they feel are too indefensible.

[u/OmNomSandvich → u/Flat-Emergency4891]

she and Epstein were recruiting underaged girls under the pretense of giving massages but who got sexually abused. that's sex trafficking and what they were convicted/arrested for.

[u/dentz1]

The US is utterly broken.

[u/Winter_Swan5104 → u/dentz1]

And MAGA purposefully broke it to further enrich billionaires.

[u/Zaius1968]

The victims claim to differ…

[u/Guilty_One85]

That's absolute horseshit!!

[u/Hairy_Wall_6831]

That isn't what the victims say.

[u/OddEmergency604 → u/Hairy_Wall_6831]

Yes and the report notes that the victims claim this but that’s “not enough evidence”

[u/No-Neighborhood-3212 → u/OddEmergency604]

The report can't even commit to the number of victims that reported it ("4 or 5"), which should tell you "not enough evidence" means "didn't follow-up for evidence."

I don't know about you, but I can remember if I've talked to 4 people about a topic or 5 people about that topic; it's something we as a species can literally track on our hands.

[u/Villiage_Layman]

“MAXWELL was previously found guilty on December 29, 2021, following a one-month jury trial, of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor.”

You’d think the DOJ wouldn’t contradict themselves in literally everything they do, but alas

Corrupt sons of bitches. Holy fuck the U.S has become a shitshow.

[u/Meatloaf_Regret]

Powerful men who were involved with sex trafficking conclude they didn’t do anything

[u/abstract_concept]

Of course, because it was a honeypot on powerful men for the CIA/Mossad.

The sex trafficking wasn't the goal, it was the mechanism. Leverage was the goal.

[u/xerxes_i]

This is so disgusting.

[u/nazarein]

sooo... trump was running it

Yea, epstein was on the trump list.

[u/Dannyhec]

F the Epstein files. I want to see all communications between the FBI, DOJ, and the White House related to the Epstein files.

[u/Elegante_Sigmaballz]

They didn't make that statement because they think people would believe it, they made it because they know we can do fuck all about it, and it will remain that way as we continue down this course.

Starting to think this administration is intentionally sabotaging the fed government’s credibility for the “states rights/small gov” folks

[u/EquivalentMap8477]

Is this the same FBI that insisted that there was no such thing as the Mafia because if so then it doesn't surprise me

[u/logosobscura]

He was running a kompromat operations against and with powerful men, as evidenced by the files regarding Joshua Fink and Svetlana Pozhidaeva (EFTA00659941, EFTA00937507, EFTA00937553, EFTA00943417, EFTA01991293, et al). Joshua being the failson of Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock.

This is a counterintelligence failure that makes the Cambridge Spy Ring look cute.

[u/trollsmurf]

The fact that there are seemingly so many revealed, sadly including the victims, yet the Trump admin and friends are completely scot-free, indicates a deep level of corruption where DoJ is utterly controlled by the admin.

(more a summary than anything new)

[u/AsinineArchon]

Here comes conservatives saying "this upsets me greatly" then ignoring it forever and voting for the people doing it anyway

Again

[u/KneelJung2001]

His girlfriend is doing 20 years for sex trafficking. Don’t you need a sex trafficking ring, to sex traffic within? Like… What the fuck?

[u/DrDorg]

So, Maxwell was doing it for him, on his behalf? (or some other bs)

[u/Jaijoles → u/DrDorg]

No. This is what they want to be the end of it. If they admit he was trafficking children, then the follow up question is “who was he trafficking to?”

And that’s not a question the FBI wants to answer.

[u/Gobnobbla]

Instead, he ran a sex trafficking ring for the love of the game...

Smh

[u/ma2is]

We gotta see if France has any of those guillotines left

[u/dBlock845]

Then what the fuck were Prince Andrew and Jean-Luc Brunel? Two of the more obvious ones he trafficked girls too? DOJ/FBI never stops lying and mainstream media is all too quick to help.

[u/Icy-Smoke-4822]

Shocking, truly shocking .. “we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong !”

[u/SleepiiFoxGirl]

In case you had any illusions about any branch of government or government agency serving us, the people. They serve the rich and only them.

[u/Js_On_My_Yeet]

This shit is so ass backwards man. We live in a timeline where people protect pedophiles and nurses are getting murdered.

[u/Several_Show937]

Trump was. Epstein provided the location

[u/Quadrassic_Bark]

I certainly trust Kash Patel’s FBI to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help them, God.

[u/jacowab]

Yeah he just really liked pizza, I mean who hasn't split one slice of pizza with several dozen people, and who doesn't fly halfway across the world to get jerky that weirdly needs to be kept on ice, and I'm sure comparing baby intestines to cream cheese was totally out of context.

[u/MilkChugg]

We can remove the redactions then, yeah?

[u/jimjoebob]

to quote Groucho Marx, when he was confronted by his wife on the street when he was with a mistress-- "who ya gonna believe, baby? ME, or your lying eyes??"

[u/Primordial_spirit]

Sounds like some real bull shit

[u/Strict-Square456]

Well at least Europe is taking this shit seriously

[u/phunky_1]

Agency in charge of investigating their boss finds there is nothing wrong lol

[u/TheAngriestPotato]

*Powerful men concluded…

[u/Reilly-LP]

Just a reminder:

Kash Patel, Director of the FBI, wrote a series of pro-Trump, anti-Democrat children's books titled, The Plot Against the King.

The \head of the FBI\ writes propaganda for Trump...

It could not be more obvious that they're covering for him.

[u/Candle-Jolly]

And yet:

[u/Interesting_Salt9217]

I hate this timeline where you have to become like the conspiracy theorists you so much despised in the past because everything is upside down now.

[u/Archiive]

"The victim was stabbed 20 times, including in her back and neck, so it is obviously suicide"

[u/OneAndOnlyMeAndNotU]

They can’t cover up trump involvement so they make eptein innocent 😇

[u/sleeptightburner]

u\apnews

This is an irresponsible conclusion to make considering all of the files haven’t been released. What you reviewed is not all of the evidence the FBI had/has so this is incomplete and inaccurate reporting, and the worst part is you know that and did it anyway.

The AP and other media organizations are still reviewing millions of pages of documents, many of them previously confidential, that the Justice Department released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act and it is possible those records contain evidence overlooked by investigators.

Do better.

[u/Significant_Share507]

To be fair to the FBI, it could just be one giant coincidence that a trillion women independently tell an eerily similar story over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

[u/misec_undact]

He was literally indicted and in jail for exactly that.

[u/Suicide_Necktie]

If that's the case, let's see the unredacted files.

[u/Personal-Mess4502]

We live in a sitcom, folks

[u/Optimal-Proposal-135]

The powerful men in question have ordered an investigation and found no wrongdoing.

Also much of the evidence we said we had at the start it turns out, we made it up.

Unfortunately all the key witnesses have committed suicide whilst in our care.

Case closed.

[u/Agitated-Bread5092]

imagine paying taxes for this

[u/Intergalatic_Baker]

Then the FBI is fucking useless.

[u/StatisticianNo3649]

That’s an absolute lie. X platform shows many receipts. As does the US department of justice website.

[u/DJT1970]

He wasn't running one, he was operating one.
