A Department of Justice official, Joseph Schnitt, was secretly recorded on a date discussing plans to manipulate the Epstein files, allegedly redacting information to protect Republicans while highlighting Democratic connections. The recording, released by the O’Keefe Media Group, captured Schnitt detailing an internal conflict between Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino over the handling of the files. The DOJ responded by defending its commitment to transparency and the accuracy of the records. The situation has put Bondi under scrutiny, particularly following the release of files that primarily contained information already in the public domain and has led to accusations of a cover-up.

The story of the DOJ deputy chief, Joseph Schnitt, and the alleged plan to redact every Republican from the Epstein client list is, to put it mildly, a bombshell. The core of the issue is this: a high-ranking official, caught on tape, seemingly admitting to a politically motivated cover-up within the Department of Justice. The claim, captured by a far-right media outlet, is that the government intends to scrub the list clean of any names associated with the Republican party, leaving only those linked to Democrats. The immediate reaction is one of outrage and disgust, and, frankly, it’s understandable.
The implications of such an action are staggering.… Continue reading
Newly released CCTV footage has revealed the so-called “missing minute” of surveillance footage related to Jeffrey Epstein’s death, contradicting previous assertions that the footage was simply recorded over. This discovery, part of a larger release of documents by the US House oversight committee, reveals two hours of previously unseen video that includes the previously unaccounted for 60 seconds. The footage, which the report states is unremarkable, shows guards working outside Epstein’s cell. The release of documents related to the Epstein case has led to renewed scrutiny over his relationship with former President Donald Trump and has caused a rare division in Republican ranks.

The House Oversight Committee released over 30,000 documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, though a majority of the files were already publicly available. The release followed a subpoena from Chairman James Comer, who sought the “full, complete, unredacted Epstein Files,” yet notably did not subpoena former President Donald Trump. Democrats criticized the release, claiming it was a cover-up, while the released files included a video clip of a young woman recounting her experience and court documents from Ghislaine Maxwell’s case. The move comes as Congress returns from recess, with Epstein’s crimes and associated networks expected to be a prominent topic of discussion.

Thousands of Epstein-related records from the DOJ have been released, according to the Oversight Committee, but the excitement is somewhat tempered, and it’s easy to see why. It seems we’re wading through a mountain of information, but the initial reaction suggests a significant portion, perhaps even the vast majority, of this “new” material is old news. We’re talking about information that’s already been out there in the public domain.
Apparently, the contents released, subpoenaed by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, primarily recycle information that’s been readily available for a while. The immediate sentiment, as you might expect, is a mix of disappointment and frustration.… Continue reading
A new lawsuit filed against the Archdiocese of New Orleans accuses Archbishop Gregory Aymond and Vicar General Pat Williams of covering up child sexual abuse. Argent Institutional Trust Co., the bond trustee representing investors, alleges the officials concealed the extent of the abuse before investors purchased $41 million in church bond debt. The lawsuit cites reporting by news outlets highlighting the omission of abusers from the Archbishop’s official list and secret files regarding abuse. The suit seeks to deny Aymond and Williams retirement benefits and prioritize payments to bondholders.

Over an 18-month period at Fort Hood, Texas, a man attacked four female soldiers within their barracks. Despite a pattern emerging in the attacks, base officials opted against a public warning, instead choosing to inform soldiers through the chain of command. This decision was made even after the first incident in March 2021 and was made during a time of upheaval after the death of Spc. Vanessa Guillen. It was later revealed that the attacker, Sgt. Greville Clarke, would be caught after one of the attacks where he was caught in the act.

Family members of Virginia Roberts Giuffre expressed outrage over the Justice Department’s decision to release transcripts of Ghislaine Maxwell’s testimony. They believe this move allows Maxwell to potentially “rewrite history.” The accuser’s family sees this as providing Maxwell a platform to manipulate public perception.

In response to the recent release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., has expressed criticism over their incompleteness. Lee, who previously filed a motion to compel the release, stated that the initial batch provided by the Justice Department contained largely “recycled content” already accessible to the public. According to an initial review by Oversight Committee Democrats, only three percent of the 33,295 pages of documents turned over to Congress included new information. The remaining majority comprised previously released material from various law enforcement agencies.

According to Congressman Ro Khanna, only a minuscule portion of the documents recently released by the Department of Justice to the House Oversight Committee were actually new. Khanna stated that a mere 3% of the provided materials were previously unseen, representing less than 1% of the complete Epstein files. The congressman shared these details during an interview on The Weekend program. This limited release raises further questions about the government’s transparency regarding the Epstein investigation.
