Mystery surrounds the Jeffrey Epstein files after Bondi claims 'tens of thousands' of videos

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON (AP) — It was a surprising statement from Attorney General Pam Bondi as the Trump administration promises to release more files from its sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein: The FBI, she said, was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” of the wealthy financier “with children or child porn.”

The comment, made to reporters at the White House days after a similar remark to a stranger with a hidden camera, raised the stakes for President Donald Trump's administration to prove it has in its possession previously unseen compelling evidence. That task is all the more pressing after an earlier document dump that Bondi hyped angered elements of Trump’s base by failing to deliver new bombshells and as administration officials who had promised to unlock supposed secrets of the so-called government “deep state" struggle to fulfill that pledge.

Yet weeks after Bondi’s remarks, it remains unclear what she was referring to.

The Associated Press spoke with lawyers and law enforcement officials in criminal cases of Epstein and socialite former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell who said they hadn't seen and didn't know of a trove of recordings like what Bondi described. Indictments and detention memos do not reference the existence of videos of Epstein with children, and neither was charged with possession of child sex abuse material even though that offense would have been much easier to prove than the sex trafficking counts they faced.

It just may take a while for her to remove all the ones where Donald Trump appears.

1. Interesting.

I think that there were numerous reports that Epstein had a significant collection of photos and film. It would be more difficult to blackmail targets without them.

2. Bondi musta got a call the same minute.

Listen to the Epstein Tapes: "I was Donald Trump's Closest Friend."

3. Interesting that this is saying EPSTEIN with children,

not VIPs with children who could then be blackmailed. If it is Epstein, it is far less important information both because he is dead and because I think it is generally considered that he was a pedofile.

4. Epstein Wasn't Always Alone

Like the time he and Trump fought over who was going to rape one of their young victims first. Trump won. Probably other similar incidents. Could be interesting.

5. Yes but do we really think this DOJ or FBI will release anything damning with Trump in it?

6. No, of course not...

But future administrations might find the material revealing, so to speak.
