FBI notes detail grim demands Epstein made for procurement of underage girls

Investigative notes describing Jeffrey Epstein’s detailed demands of the people he sent to procure children for his sexual predation are among the documents released by the Department of Justice on Friday.

They cast a grim spotlight on the actions of Epstein and those around him amid their efforts to procure young women and underage girls for the late disgraced financier. They were part of a long-awaited release of documents from Donald Trump’s justice department, which has been slammed for being only a partial release and heavily redacted.

But one document, called EFTA00004179, consists of a formal FBI evidence cover sheet and 13 pages of handwritten investigative notes from an interview conducted on 2 May 2019. The interview subject is redacted, as is some of the content.

Still, themes emerge; recruitment of girls, sexual encounters under the guise of “massages” and Epstein’s specific preferences regarding age and race. “Friends of [redacted] friends. Big Brazilian group. Desperate time,” the witness said, according to the notes. “Running out of girls.” The notes ostensibly refer to Epstein by the initials “JE”.

With my 4 bedroom cottage on the dark side of the moon! We’d rake it in. I’m sure there’s someone who’d like to live on the moon. Private, quiet.

It's dated 2019 (the interview) but one event or recollection refers back to 5/6/02 and a "HS prom".

manage to assemble so many people who make it their mission to enable their depravities. A “Desperate time” because Epstein is “running out of girls”?

What, exactly, would happen if there was no girl available when he wanted one? Maybe if Epstein had to do his own dirty work he would have been caught and brought to justice much earlier.

There are unsolved murder out there because the FBI is just a bunch of white boys protecting other men and cannot hear women/girls. They are complicit in murders, rapes, domestic violence, and sexual assaults because they refuse to hear/listen to women/girls,
