The files are in a google drive here

The House of Representatives Oversight Committee published 33,295 pages, including flight logs, jail surveillance video, court filings, audio recordings and emails.

But Republicans and Democrats alike said the files contained little new information and it is unclear if the justice department is withholding other Epstein records.

Friendly reminder that when they redact information, it's because they fear that the information they're keeping from you is worse than you think it is.

In this case, believe them.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 85 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Is this another binder of already public info?

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 14 points 6 days ago

Mostly. The article mentions the missing surveillance video minute, and some flight logs being new.

You know whats infuriating?

How many cameras there were supposed to be active in this high security prison that for some reason had an outage and left us with only 1 angle that doesnt even actually show the door, entrance, or cell block Epstein was in.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

but the camera shows no suicide!

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Just like our deep range scans show no teacup between here and the moon. Surely this is evidence that there isn't a teacup. Surely

[–] frankenswine@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (3 children)

what's mildly infuriating about that?

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 74 points 6 days ago (3 children)

It's the same fucking files from a few weeks ago.

Release the list with Trump's name!

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

Nothing people didn't already know, but my god it has been an effective distraction when people bring them up in response to Trump doing literal Dictator shit.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

and all pee pee videos. Including Elon tripping on the oval office sofa.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world -3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Wait, are you telling me the list doesn't have Trump's name on it?!? Does that mean he has absolutely zero ties to Jeff Epstein and most likely never met him and if he did he probably wouldn't remember because he met so many people that night?!?

Edit: forgot the /s, maybe the downvotes were regardless of the sarcasm though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] naught@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago

exactly! total exoneration!!! now let's please focus on real issues like the 17 trans college athletes running or swimming or hitting balls with their wicked appendages

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 45 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Because it’s pretty much all public knowledge. There’s nothing novel there. It’s very obviously a distraction and obfuscation tactic.

It’s a tactic commonly used as a defense strategy by corporate attorneys, especially when defending against private parties: you simply inundate the opposing side with reams of borderline irrelevant bullshit. Makes it substantially harder to find pertinent documents, and also serves to delay the discovery that maybe something important was left out.

This is the kind of shit i would love to see AI destroy but it seems more likely we're only going to get the shitty parts of AI instead

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There's a super easy way to solve this. Especially for corporations.

"The company's operations will be suspended during the suit, until such time as the court can determine whether the company is operating illegally."

You want to flood the zone with shit to draw out your court case for 18 months until everyone loses interest? You can still do that. But you won't be making any money while you do, and I expect your employees still need paychecks if you want them to still be there when this wraps up.

This isn't a silver bullet for every sort of court case, but I think this is a very sensible and obvious solution to corporate crimes.

[–] addie@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago

Open to abuse, unfortunately. If even the most trivial of cases takes a week to resolve, then you could shut any company down by filling fifty suits.

The real solution would be for the judge to actually do their job and to penalise companies for doing that kind of bullshit.

[–] realitista@piefed.world 30 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

There are more than 300 gigabytes of Epstein files confirmed by the DOJ. If we are generous and say all these 33,000 pages are stored as images rather than text, they probably aren't more than 25gb. And 97% of them were already public.

[–] frankenswine@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

i guess it's a great time for a new whistleblower

[–] realitista@piefed.world 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

They are doing it because it was looking like they would get the signatures in congress to force the release of the full archives despite speaker Mike Johnson blocking the vote on it. Now they are trying to take the wind out of the sails out of that movement. The best whistleblower would be congress itself.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

JFC...300GB of text? How big was that island? Was it Australia?

[–] realitista@piefed.world 1 points 6 days ago

It's not all text. But I think most of it is scanned docs based on what's been released so far.

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Yeah, they are doing their best to hide donny and their buddies from being outed on national television. I mean we all already know he is a pedophile and it's been proven in court, but his base will need it to come from his mouth. Which means nothing will change and MAGA will be the downfall of america.
