Today, DOJ released what it identified as the last tranche of Epstein materials. From their perspective, the files have now been released.
It's several millions of pages, so it will take everyone time to comb through it. However, it seems pretty likely that there won't be anything like a "client list." No evidence of unprosecuted assaults by men other than Epstein himself. No smoking guns. We can predict that, because Blanche made pains to prepare everyone for that:
“There’s a hunger or a thirst for information that I do not think will be satisfied by the review of these documents and … there’s nothing I can do about that,” [Deputy AG Todd] Blanche said.
“There’s this built-in assumption that somehow there’s this hidden tranche of information of men that we know about, that we’re covering up, or that we’re choosing not to prosecute. That is not the case. I don’t know whether there are men out there that abuse these women. If we learn about information and evidence that allows us to prosecute them, you better believe we will,” he added.https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/571502...Now, we see how MAGA reacts to being told that there actually
wasn't any effort by Democrats to protect sex abusers by failing to act on the Epstein files. Or how Democratic conspiracy-minded folks react to the same thing. Dan Bongino, let's hear your thoughts!

There’s the rub. It’s Todd Blanche, on behalf of the DOJ, saying that. Based on the last 12 months of this administration - to say nothing of the four years of the previous Trump administration - that statement simply can’t be trusted.
I do agree that no one will be satisfied by this.

Yeah, nope. Blanche said that any Epstein document that "would jeopardize an active federal investigation" is not being released. You won't be seeing the bad stuff.

Ahh, there you go. That's how this theory will be kept alive.

Here's one guy who wishes this whole thing was still under wraps:
https://x.com/robbystarbuck/status/201728177701908...Wow. In the Epstein emails DOJ dropped, Jeffrey sent himself emails memorializing a fight he had with Bill Gates. In it he says that Bill Gates got STD’s from Russian hookers, and then asked Jeffrey for antibiotics that Bill could secretly give to Melinda without her noticing.Bwahahahahahahaha!
And we know of at least one Obama official with her hand in some kind of cookie jar:
https://freebeacon.com/democrats/oh-my-god-i-am-dy...'OH MY GOD!!!!! I am dying': Jeffrey Epstein Showered Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler With Gifts, Including $9,400 Hermes Handbag and Four Seasons Spa Treatment, Emails Show
Ruemmler, who told CNN Epstein never 'compensated' her, accepted the gifts years after Epstein's sex crimes were public knowledge
Whoops.
Not sure why you want to push this MAGA narrative, but go for it.

Anything to cover up Epstein was running a honey pot for Mossad?

I think you misunderstand the "MAGA narrative."
The belief that the government is covering up pedophilia rings for the rich and powerful was a pretty significant part of the alt-right movement - it gave rise to "PizzaGate" and was a core belief of all the QAnon folks. That was QAnon in a nutshell - the believe that Donald Trump was waging a secret war against a satanist pedophile ring being protected by the Deep State. They were awaiting the Storm - a day of reckoning when all these horrible people would be brought to account and executed.
When Epstein was busted, that became an integral part of the QAnon/Trump mythos for these folks. When the Storm never happened and Trump left office, the belief morphed into the idea that Biden and the Democrats were now protecting all these folks, and that after Trump was re-elected then finally that day of reckoning would happen. That Trump would finally strip the elitist pedophile cabal of their government protection.
Which, of course, didn't happen - because of course there isn't a secret band of satanist pedophiles being protected by the Federal Government. But a non-trivial slice of the MAGA base believed that, and were very very upset when Trump (and Bondi and especially Bongino who promoted that theory on his podcast) didn't act on it. That's why the Epstein file bill was able to be forced out of the House on a discharge petition - there's just too many MAGA Republicans that believed there was something hidden in the files.
Now that the files have been released (as much as they will be), it will be interesting to see if this slice of the GOP base moves on, or if they continue to insist that there are a whole bunch of people who are actually known to the government to be actual satanic pedophiles that are being protected.
