United States v. Epstein

AG Bondi and Deputy AG Blanche have today filed a motion in this case to unseal grand jury transcripts.

But not just in this case...

They AlSO are filing similar motions in the United States v. Maxwell

And

In the Southern District of Florida...

All of the above appears to be the answer to the first question.

Here's the Maxwell filing

That Souther District of Florida matter... it was a 60-COUNT INDICTMENT

h/t @patriotmolenys1 for commenting a link to the DOJ review of that matter to me in another thread.

justice.gov/archives/opa/p…

@patriotmolenys1 "...this Court should conclude that the Epstein and Maxwell cases qualify as a matter of public interest, release the associated grand jury transcripts, and lift any preexisting protective orders."

Thank you @AGPamBondi and @DAGToddBlanche

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche NOTE:

This action—unsealing of transcripts, redactions for privacy of victims, and lifting of protective orders across three federal cases—isn’t something that is likely to happen quickly.

And it isn’t something that Trump or DoJ can force to happen.

It’s on the Courts.

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche Could take weeks, months, or even years.

It may not happen at all, it only may happen to a limited extent, and it may not happen in every case.

The public interests in the matter is very high though and that is the basis for the action.

Such a basis has prevailed in the past.

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche Maxwell’s case being under appeal to SCOTUS could conceivably be a speed bump to this.

Her appeal relies on the Non Prosecution Agreement applying to her.

That NPA connects to the South District of Florida draft indictment.

So ALL of this is legally connected.

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche You should also note that the grand jury testimony and any related documents (such as affidavits and reports from LE) that may be unsealed are largely going to be the same information that’s in the indictment they informed (duh).

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche And that it’s HIGHLY unlikely that we learn of any previously unknown co-conspirators or uncharged persons.

There is potential that the SDFL draft indictment and materials that informed it could be revelatory, though.

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche That one was resolved thanks to the plea deal on state charges.

I wrote about it yesterday in this thread.

I got a tad carried away thinking of what unsealed transcripts could reveal, though I wasn’t off base IMO.

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche So why, if these actions are unlikely to provide some grand reveal or exposure is Trump calling for them?

I think it’s to accomplish a few things. 👇

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche -Transparency. Full stop.

-Show that he IS in some way in the “Epstein Files” but NOT in the manor that he is portrayed or insinuated to be by the haters. (Trump helped bust Epstein, he worked w/ investigators not as a target but as an informant/witness. This is well known)

👇

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche -Dismantle the outlandish, fantastical and farcical conspiracy theories that surround the subject. I think of it as flaming them out.

-Discredit the ConInc and ConspiracyInc influencers.

Continued…

To show MAGA that not only are these people wrong, they are a malignancy that doesn’t care about truth—they care about clicks/views, manipulation and fleecing their audience on a core set of high engagement conspiracy theories.

Epstein is one of those conspiracy theories. A favorite.

So when all of this material does come out, and it DOESN’T confirm these far fetched theories, but instead backs up what Trump DOJ has already found in their review, these influencers and charlatans are going to turn on Trump and his team AGAIN.

If there is an exposure ahead, it’s of them.

It’s all right here.

DOJ has access to ALL of the transcripts and materials that may be unsealed. It’s not like it’s been hidden from them-it’s their stuff.

And they already reviewed it and told y’all there isn’t credible evidence to investigate third parties and that these garbage theories are harmful.

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche Maybe maybe maybe something new arises or is found or is turned in. Maybe. But that’s highly unlikely.

And y’all should be aware of that.

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche Just like with that memo, and other subjects, some people, some influencers, and some of their followers, will never accept the DOJ findings.

Here’s the why of that 👇

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche Consider this question

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche "No prosecution for the sex trafficking offenses nor any other offenses that have been the subject of the joint investigation by the [FBI] and the [USAO], nor any other offenses that arose from the Federal Grand Jury investigation..."

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche "...the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein, including but not limited to..."

documentcloud.org/documents/6184…

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche nymag.com/intelligencer/…

"...as part of the plea deal, Epstein provided what the government called “valuable consideration” for unspecified information he supplied to federal investigators.

Records show that Epstein was a key federal witness in the criminal prosecution of two prominent executives with Bear Stearns"

miamiherald.com/news/local/art…

However, according to the full OPR report on the NPA.

"...the prosecutors from the Bear Stearns case in [the Eastern District of] New York [said] [they] had never heard of [Epstein]."

"...the rumor that Epstein had cooperated with the case in New York was “completely false.”"

”Epstein ... was providing “absolutely no cooperation” to the government."

"this is urban myth"

@patriotmolenys1 @AGPamBondi @DAGToddBlanche "Acosta told OPR that he did not have any information about Epstein cooperating in a financial investigation or relating to media reports that Epstein had been an “intelligence asset.”"

"In addition to the contemporaneous record attesting that Epstein was not a cooperating witness in a federal matter, OPR found no evidence suggesting that Epstein was such a cooperating witness or “intelligence asset,” or that anyone—including any of the subjects of OPR’s investigation—believed that to be the case, or that Epstein was afforded any benefit on such a basis."
