‘Epstein List’ stunt fails, conspiracy theorists lose their thoughts

Conspiracy theorists, amateur researchers and all kinds of online cranks were furious on Thursday when they realized that documents related to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein released by the Trump Administration in a highly published spectacle contained zero new information – despite promises from Bombshell -onthullingen. Their shock looked like nothing so much as Charlie Brown’s surprise when Lucy picks up football again.

Largely overlooking Trump’s own long and well -documented friendship with Epstein, the rich financier who died in 2019 by suicide after he was arrested and accused of the sex trade of minors, the conspirators of the President spent years of goals on the evidence of supposed materials to prove to trade There is still no proof That such a “list” exists.

But that is left Maga Diehards, especially those with a paranoid world view informed by Qanon-Stic fantasies of a secret child abuse, to become wild with speculation about names they believe shall appear on the so -called “Epstein List” when it becomes public. In an attempt to meet their unrealistic requirements, in addition to the declassification of files with regard to the murders of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr., the White House and the American Attorney General General Pam Bondi Hyped the release of Epstein files that they claimed would shed more light on his crimes. Bondi teased the document decrease last week and said she had them ‘on her desk‘And on Wednesday evening, Fox News stopped announce That the “pretty sick” documents that contain “a lot of information” are out on Thursday.

Next to Post the files onlineHas the Ministry of Justice printed and bound in binders with the label “The Epstein Files: Phase One”, which then spread it into a handful of loyalty Trumpworld influencers and wrong information super spreaders, including the people behind the extreme right-wing X-account DC Draino and and Libs van Tiktok” Pizza Promoters Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec, and former Oann Anchor Liz Wheeler, Die Recently presented That COVID-19 Vaccines cause AIDS. It soon became apparent that what they had received in an Oval Office meeting with Bondi, Trump, Vice President JD Vance and FBI director Kash Patel Was far from revealing: the partially edited pages were well-known logboeks of the private jet of Epstein, which between houses in New York and Palm Beach, Florida, and his private island, small holy james and contacts of known, and contacts, and contacts, and contacts, and contacts of Epstein’s address bookwhat has Made public since 2015. Julie K. Brown, who has treated the Epstein case in meticulous details for years at the Miami Herald” pointed On X that you can currently buy a copy of this infamous ‘Little Black Book’, with submissions for Trump, Prince Andrew, Alan Dershowitz, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And Alec Baldwin, in addition to many other recognizable names, on Amazon.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, chairman of the Task Force House about the declassification of federal secrets, was one of the first to cry. “I neither the Task Force were given or assessed the Epstein documents written on x, notice that a New York Post Article “Just revealed that the documents will simply be Epstein’s phone book. This is not what we or the American people asked for and a complete disappointment. Buy us the information we asked for! “Conspiracy theoretist Laura Loomer Was furiously on what she saw as an empty stunt. “The binders are props,” she raged in one after On X. “Each of those right -wing paid influencers lied against all of you today! They were concerned with deception to perform cover for pedophiles !!! “

While a few influencers were trying to run the documents in the binders as a meaningful disclosure, they received harsh criticism of how the rollout was handled and furious questions why Bondi had not made them available online, although the doj had. (Chaya Raichik, the woman behind Libs van Tiktok, collaborated with Loomer Scan and upload She went to a site for sharing files, while Loomer Bondi was wrong to attack because he himself did not observe and observed that she had been the public prosecutor of Florida from 2011 to 2019, was a period in which Epstein’s flight logbooks and more proof of his crimes came to light.) Was in the meantime. “We are all waiting for juicy things,” she said in a live stream about judicial documents with regard to the sexual abuse of hundreds of minor girls. “And that’s not what’s in this binder. That is not at all what is in this folder. And that is exactly how the attorney general presented us. “She told her viewers that they should” feel frustrated. ”

The extreme right-wing X account “End Wokess”, that has been linked it to the importancegive that frustration through a photo of a Skeleton on a laptop With the caption “Waiting for Epstein clients to face justice.” The author of the bill too suggested Service with the publication of the customer list and the fact that the Ministry of Justice “detect and detect Epstein clients as they did until 6 January.” Barrestool Appraiser Dave Portnoy went to X to to ask“Why is the release of the Epstein list always a shit show?” A large cryptocurrency-promoting account that praises endlessly Elon Musk (and is often strengthened by the billionaire in the bargain) shared a meme That depicted Trump as a grim mower who, after killing ‘illegal immigration’ and ‘bureaucracy’, now did the same with the legendary ‘Epstein files’.

Even the author of a prominent wrong information account on X said From the contact pages of the phone: “I am pretty sure that we have seen all this … but there is nothing taxing. These names may not be depicted as a client list. Elsewhere, just like many others, they focused on the selected influencers to receive the binders, some of whom were put with them for photographers outside the White House, writing“Imagine having a binder in your hands with horrible pedophile crimes and you laugh like you are going to the prom.”

In the midst of all this consternation, the official account for Republicans in the Judiciary Committee house tried to make the situation with an X -post guilty: “#breaking: Epstein files released.” The link that followed to the video clip for Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”-A internet-a-AS-and-switch Prank called “Rickrolling” that was popular in the late 2000s and early 2010. The GAG ​​pulled further indignation of right-wing wings and accusations that the Gop failed in its dedication to transparency while dealing with the horrible Epstein-Saga (and his victims) as a joke.

Maybe anticipate the negative reactions to “the Epstein files: phase one”, Bondi also circulated one letter She sent on Thursday to Patel on the FBI, in which she claimed that the agency had withheld more documents when she initially did her for them before he had taken on the role of director and only transferred what eventually appeared in the Binders. “I repeatedly asked if this was the full set of documents that responded to my request and was repeatedly insured by the FBI that we had received the full set of documents,” she wrote. “Yesterday I learned from a source that the FBI Field Office in New York was in possession of thousands of pages with documents related to the investigation and the indictment of Epstein. Despite my repeated requests, the FBI has never announced the existence of these files. When you and I spoke yesterday, you were just as surprised as I learn to learn this new information. “The letter continues with the delivery of” all records, documents, audio and video recordings and materials with regard to Jeffrey Epstein and his customers “at Bondi’s office on Friday at 8 am.

In a response to X that did not immediately mention Epstein, Patel, written“The FBI is entering a new era – one that will be determined by integrity, accountability and the relentless pursuit of justice. There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents and no stone remain undisturbed and someone from the earlier or current agency that undermines this will be pursued quickly. “He further promised” everything we find to bring to the doj to be fully assessed and spread transparently for the American people as it should be. ”

Rep. Andy Ogles from Tennessee also promoted the story of a coverup within the FBI, so that Bondi is a memo In which he said he would take legislative action to protect any Epstein files. He wrote that “when hearing reports that certain FBI agents are said to try to destroy critical archives, I am currently drawing up legislation entitled the Epstein Documentation Obiteration Act of the Pedo Act.”

It seems that Trump team officials and republicans on Capitol Hill have arrived into a nice excuse for the latest “Epstein List” debacle: Nefarious Deep State Agents are, according to people who control the entire government, and keep the most explosive content hidden in a hidden archive, and the Maga -gel Too bad for those who are impatient to learn more filthy details and see new persecutions: this can take a while.
