I wish I could concur. My sense is that Bondi has assured him that his name has been scrubbed from the files. Whatever gets released will not implicate him or his favorite Republicans.

His ever-compliant Patel will make sure of this. Elliot Ness must be reeling in his grave.

I am hopeful, but not very. I think the fix is in. Especially since the Senate also passed the resolution so quickly. I have read they have had FBI agents "scrubbing" the files for any mention of trump's name. Now, that would be stupid (which fits the man) because there would be no way he isn't mentioned at all. I also am hopeful that either Epstein's brother or his estate has an unredacted copy of the files. How many years ago is it now that Karen Johnson (I think that's her name) tried to sue demented donnie and was scared off the case? She described a brutal rape including slapping her for daring to object. I believe the threats were to her family as well as herself.

"Katie Johnson" - not her real name.

Here's a little something I posted recently about 'Katie Johnson':

"I have pursued urging a number of folk to NEVER forget "Katie Johnson."

My testable hypothesis is that Mr Michael Cohen may know much about why "Katie Johnson" abruptly canceled her scheduled Press Conference four days before the 2016 Election.

It was during that same period that he was bribing Ms Stormy Daniels.

Beyond that, given that Mr Cohen worked for Trump during the interval of 2006 to 2018, what was he doing on behalf of Donald in early 2011, and thereafter.

Of course, Pedo-Don may have had other 'fixers' dealing with the reality - as acknowledge by Pedo-Jeff in more than one documented claim - that he's got a lot to hide and Pedo-Jeff 'has the receipts.'

Will leave it at that except to note that LOTS of FOLK have COMPREHENSIVE knowledge of ALL the EVIDENCE regarding Epstein-Maxwell-Trump-OTHER PERVERTS, not the least of whom is Ms Maurene Comey whose knowledge of the details extended until the day she was fired by Bondi (Trump) earlier this year."

Katie Johnson dropped her lawsuit after she and her family received credible death threats.

I have never forgotten Katie. I also have never forgotten the young girl who was seated, looked to be Jeffrey's arm around her waist and demented don bending down for (I assume) a kiss. The room seemed full of people. Mutual blackmail I assume.

I would think Mr. Cohen knows a whole lot and he's probably got an NDA that is so tight a hair wouldn't fit through it. Now, why he isn't "leaking" is a different story, isn't it?

Why do you think Maureen Comey isn't saying anything? NDA type thing from Justice? And, what are the odds one of the supposed 1000 FBI agents charged with cleansing the files of trump's name might spring a leak? I mean, these crimes are just about as low as a human can go, and there must be 1/1000 with a conscience?

I hope that you're right as well! He's such a sleazy guy and seems to wiggle out of everything! Remember the story of BONE SPURS???

I have no hope of him ever being accountable for anything. He and his kids are literally stealing billions of dollars through crypto. Not a peep. He’s a pedophile, not a peep. Rapist, molester, he’s admitted it in a deposition, not a peep. He couldn’t tell the truth if he tried, not a peep. We got what we voted for and we’ve destroyed our democracy.

ANDY BOROWITZ, known for his satire & humor, posted information about 'Katie Johnson':

Katie Johnson’s Full Testimony Of 2/11/16 #donaldtrump #elonmusk #epsteinisland #jeffreyepstein

https://youtu.be/Qk38JAwEUOg?si=s2weJyrjVHQsK94q

She was 13 years old.

What is made public will not be complete.

Trump in a rambling rant listed others who were involved - the BANKS, so he was paying attention to that part. (Trump was connected to the same banks.)

FBI Agents worked 24/7 to remove TRUMP'S name - let's be honest!

There was a MONEY LAUNDERING INVESTIGATION in FLORIDA that needs to be released.

There is evidence from EPSTEIN'S MANHATTAN APARTMENT & SAFE that the FBI has.

The FBI cleaned out EPSTEIN's ISLAND for sale - where is that evidence?

The FLORIDA SHERIFF took EPSTEIN VIDEOS & FLED TO RUSSIA - there should have been additional videos. Were they in the Manhattan apartment? Epstein's Island?

Also, ZORRO RANCH in New Mexico was used & a state rep has called for an investigation there.

This is lengthy, but includes names of those who surrounded Trump & began the public embrace of PUTIN.

It is time for ALL of the still living Epstein predators to pay the price of their actions. NO exceptions for any of those predators, regardless of their perceived "status". "Do the crime - do the time". THIS time, it is time to SUPPORT THE EPSTEIN SURVIVORS, instead of the perverts. Now is a great time to "Lock HIM up" (to use his favorite phrase when his female opponent for the US Presidency used a private email server. Really. Payback time. Support the brave survivors.

Good afternoon Ms Sammarco,

Have no intention of dissuading your optimism.

In fact, I sent the following to Reps Stansbury, Crockett, Swalwell, Khanna, & Robert Garcia:, yesterday:

==============

Dear Rep ,

We’ve now witnessed Pam Bondi lying - signed, sealed & delivered - to a Federal Judge.

That context is relevant to what follows.

She and her minions have had ~ 10 months to sanitize “The Epstein files.”

Many already assume that that’s what has been accomplished - a ‘conspiracy’ that shinned a little brighter in the past 24 hours because of donald’s ‘sudden reversal.’

What I would appreciate you publicly acknowledging is that irrespective of her PROVEN DISHONESTY, only a FOOL would attempt to alter the EVIDENCE collected by the DOJ/FBI/Florida State AG during the past 3+ decades.

As one of the victims’ lawyers noted last week, the emails from the Epstein Estate were OF NO NEWS to him. It’s OF NO NEWS to any of the victims’ lawyers, nor would it be any news to Maurene Comey and her team, as well as, countless other HONORABLE FBI & DOJ personnel who have had access to the evidence for much of the past 3+ decades.

Simply, make it clear that if Bondi or any of her critters have messed with the evidence, they’re gonna get caught and prosecuted.

As opposed to all the unfinished business of holding accountable Nixon And His Crime Syndicate, this time no one involved in Trump’s Crime Syndicate, including Trump, escapes justice.

Please make that commitment to the victims and their families, tomorrow.

Thank you

==============

Beyond that, I've encouraged a number of folk to support my call for Pedo-Don inviting Former Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama & Biden to the signing ceremony of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

He should also invite the ‘leadership,’ between 1988 and Present, of the DOJ & FBI to the signing ceremony.

Obviously, as many VICTIMS and their Families should be invitted — ALL OF THEM.

Thank you

100% Ally. tRUMP only cares about himself. He has always been the same person, just that in previous decades he had a little more shine on himself, but he is not "golden" and we have our eyes wide open now!
