Newly released files show how Maria Farmer, who worked for Mr. Epstein in the 1990s, had urged the F.B.I. to investigate him. The case went nowhere for years.
So when will they actually release it?
The NYT, CNN, Fox News, WaPo, etc criticizing the Epstein files is the equivalent of finding a lone roach in your house.
It’s not just one.
It’s a sign of something much, much worse
odd as these MSM were bending over backwards SANEWASHING him.
He said the government until now has denied the existence of the Ms. Farmer’s report, and that it was “shameful” that it was kept secret. “There should be a full fledged investigation into every government employee who knew about this document and allowed a narrative to be publicized that it did not exist,” Mr. Edwards said. An internal investigation of the Department of Justice’s handling of the Epstein case, released in 2020, made no mention of Ms. Farmer’s original complaint.
Absolutely Bonkers
“There should be a full fledged investigation into every government employee who knew about this document and allowed a narrative to be publicized that it did not exist,”
And may I add, “and then hang every damn one of them as traitors.”
“and then hang every damn one of them as traitors.”
Normally, aid agree 100%, being a Traitor is about the lowest form of scum there is, but there is something worse - a pedophile, and they’re all pedophiles.
So hang them as both Traitors AND Pedophiles, and make THAT their permanent legacies.
And most pedophiles don’t do shit, most suffer their entire life with their sexuality but would never hurt a child - those are a different kind and more often than not- not actually pedophiles
That doesn’t excuse MAGAs. They unapologetically support and provide cover for people they know are pedophiles. That makes them pedophiles.
If you had a roommate who was bringing home children to molest, and you refused to address it, lied to people about it, provided alibis for the offender, misdirected investigations, etc., guess what? You’re a pedophile, too.
ALL MAGAs are pedophiles. Every last one of them.
They are enablers, apologists or such but not pedophiles, a lot of them did molest teens or children, but you don’t have tp be a pedophile for that.
Look, I am not tryong to cover for them or any such thing, all I am saying is, is to use words correctly, espescially psychological diagnosis such as pedophelia in the right amd defined way. MAGA is already blurring the language with their blantantly wrong use, let’s not do it ourselfs, otherwise pedophilia won’t mean anything and all.
Nothing wrong with traitors, our founders were traitors.
Fuck pedophiles, traitors get judged on a case-by-case basis.
No, the founding fathers were Patriots, not traitors. A traitor deeply betrays the people around him for his own benefit. Our founding fathers were not traitors, most had never set foot on British soil. They were not British, they were American, part of a British colony, over which they had no control. It is not treason for an oppressed colony to declare their independence.
On a case by case basis, all MAGAs are Traitors. ALL. It is a basic defining characteristic, just like being a pedophile, or a racist is also a basic MAGA trait.
Hey it’s me Detective Hangemall. I’ll gladly investigate this but my record so far is zero convictions. All the damn suspects keep disappearing but I’m willing to work for free.
If you can capture footage of these “disappearances”, you are hired.
Strictly for me of course.
And they will still ignore it in 2025.
1996? When Bubba was potus? I wonder why the FBI ignored it
Funny thing is that no FBI director has been appointed by a Democrat. Not even Clinton had that kind of control of the FBI.
Edit: looks like I was wrong about appointments; Clinton did appoint an FBI director who had previously been appointed by Bush to another position. He still didn’t have the kind of power over the FBI that would have let him quash an investigation like this
The 5th Director of the FBI, Louis Freeh, who was director at the time of the complaint, was literally appointed by Bill Clinton. Furthermore, the 3rd director, William Webster, was appointed by Jimmy Carter, and the 7th director, James Comey, was appointed by Barack Obama.
I believe you’re counting the directors wrong. Freeh was the 15th, Webster was 11th, and Comey was 18th. https://www.fbi.gov/history/directors.
Youre right. He was also previously appointed by Bush. Not exactly a partisan, and the FBI still would gladly have gotten Clinton for this if they’d been aware of his involvement
OP is misremembering. The real key is that no Democrat has ever been appointed to run the FBI. Democrats always appoint Republicans to run the FBI.
Shh. This is lemmy, where we make excuses for democrats no matter what they do.
You getting downvoted for this is just proof they hate you calling it out. If they weren’t offended by the truth they’d stop downvoting you.
This is not reddit and when you make these kinds of insinuations you only ever wind up sounding like a conspiracist or a dolt (perhaps both).
You’ll find a large majority of Lemmy instances are pretty critical of the US Democrattic party and rightly so.

I have not found that to be the case. Say anything less than worshipful of the genocide wing that runs the party and you’ll get pushback. Try it for the very first time.
What the actual fuck are you talking about?
By which I mean your sweeping, obviously inaccurate claims about the userbase, not the genocide, which is definitely happening, happened under the previous administration too, and is extremely fucked up, and likely contributed to the fascists getting elected given how abysmally the DNC handled the entire situation?
You have a lot more issue with my saying that lemmy makes excuses for democrats than you do about the straight up lie that no democrat has ever appointed an FBI chair. Because that lie is there to excuse bad behavior of democrats.

The prevailing consensus on lemmy is that the democrats did nothing wrong at all and the mean old voters denied them the election.
Try it for the very first time.
This line just proves that you’re not interested in a serious conversation. You’ll find in life that if you listen before you talk you’ll often learn quite a lot of useful things.
Take care.
If you really believe this, then you have serious reading comprehension skills and/or only interpret everything in a way the reinforces your existing biases . From my experience, a majority of people here, myself included, would happily see both parties burn to the ground and replaced with a system that empowers We The People to choose real representatives.
Another person who has never heard the excuses because they’ve never given anyone occasion to employ them.
Saying shit like “the Democratic party revolves around genocide” is what gets you push back. Try saying something realistic and people will agree.

From people who know it’s true, love it, and never want it to change except for the worse. When their actions indicate that they support another policy with greater persistence and enthusiasm, I’ll believe the party actually has other policies.
I would have made some kind of sarcastic joking “welcome to lemmy” comment, but your profile says it was created two and a half years ago in the era of the great third party app reddit exodus.
The biggest Democrat “support” I generally see here, and which I have contributed to myself, is the suggestion that it may be a good idea to vote for a severely flawed Democrat in order to avoid everything we’re seeing right now and have waiting for us in the next 3+ years.

Three comments up is someone lying and saying no democrat has ever appointed an FBI chair because a Clinton appointee was head of the agency when the allegations were ignored. It’s heavily upvoted.
They’re misremembering. What they’re trying to remember is the fact that no Democrat has ever been appointed to run the FBI. Democratic presidents appoint Republicans to run the FBI.
You’re making excuses for excuses.
This is not the gotcha you think it is.
First, the comment you chose is replying to another comment you don’t choose that DID blame it on Clinton and got far more upvotes. And if you care so much about votes then this post of yours seems to have been rejected by the collective so far.
But more importantly, I responded to your broad generalized statement with one of my own. I don’t know why you think a single counter example (even a good one and not just somebody being wrong) is going to shatter my statement as if it’s a scientific theory.

The one blaming it on clinton wasn’t telling an obvious lie. Since this is lemmy, the lie was welcome because it absolved the centrist wing of the party.

Do you really want me to list all the times people on lemmy have lied and made excuses for the centrist wing of the democratic party? Will you immediately dismiss them and make excuses for them like your “being wrong” garbage?
They do exist, but in my experience they are somewhat rare here.
In my experience they aren’t, but I’m often the one they’re making excuses at.
I was just thinking this. The FBI was completely in dependent back then. Still interesting to note.
Nice try
Not really trying anything. Just that whatever kept the FBI from pursuing Epstein, it was something other than a desire to protect Clinton. They had it in for Clinton and would have gone after this if they thought it would take him down.

Except pay attention to credible accusations.
I’m losing my mind. Keep getting banned on reddit because the ban bot’s list of unacceptable words keeps growing at an exponential rate.
Now my comments are dissappearing when I submit them on Lemmy too
I’m just screaming into the void
Edit: I now have proof that humans are not reading appeals. I told them off using the most vulgar language I could muster in my appeal
An hour ago my appeal was approved
I feel like Morgan Freeman’s character “Red” at the end of Shawshank
I don’t really give a shit
they blocked facebook as a word, as you know reddit is becoming a clone of it, they knew.

EDIT: yeah you’re totally getting censored because you’re using inappropriate words. You can’t use any inappropriate words on lemmy, that’s why it’s such a bucket of boiling hot ape shum, what in the corpse-fucking shit is even fucking wrong with this hymen-gnawing world? We can’t even fucking cuss!
I’ve fucked barn cats with more tact and self awareness than this arbitrary word-based filter, WHERE THE FUCK IS MY SHITEATING FREEDOM?
We didn’t start the fire.🎵
That goes beyond the 7 words you can’t say on tv.
I can say whatever the fuck I want on fuckjng tv. If any motherfucker is pigfuckingly stupid enough to put my fucking idiotic ass onto fucking television then they can deal with the headfuckingly challenging god damned tessaract of shit that’s going to come out of my fucking mouth and they can spend an eternity drowning in that four dimensional fucktangle of sewage for all I fucking care.
Also this fuckjng censorship is out of fucking control, I am tired of sitting behind this Great Wall of fucking feces trying to get my important message out into the fucking world, why in the infant Christ fucking hell are we putting up with this egregious non consensual removal of our fucking balls?
So, not a Carlin fan?
Loved him.
You can’t just say ‘dishwasher’!
Suck my fucking cock you turgid jizz squeegee.
You can’t just say “squeegee”!
Eat a dick you limpid shit gourmand
If you don’t already work in a trade, you’d likely have a bright future as a skilled blue collar worker. Your vocabulary would allow you to perform the deep magic.
Alas I do not, and don’t think my back could take a transition at this stage of my life.
You had me at “fisting”
I mean, that’s why we keep you around
Sorry to detract from this otherwise erudite exchange between intellectuals, but would it be better if fisto’s fist was bigger, or smaller than a normal hand?
Don’t be so fucking sensitive, fisto

How dare you?
What were you saying? Or what instance were they posted too? I imagine every instance will be a bit different. But I’m curious what could be said about Epstein and co that would get deleted. Only if you were directly calling for someone to attacked for something unproven would I imagine anyone having an issue here
Probably the n-word
Try posting to other instances.
not completely void, but it does feel like that sometimes…
Tbf, we don’t know who really owns any instance, especially the large ones (like the one you’re on). It could be reddit or meta for all we know
