2) Barr said there were “serious irregularities” at the prison where the Epstein apparently killed himself over the weekend.
Barr, who said he was “appalled” by Epstein’s death, said the case would continue and noted that “any co-conspirators should not rest easy.”
3) Barr said that the DOJ’s Inspector General is investigating the irregularities, saying “we’ll get to the bottom of what happened and there will be accountability.”
4) According to ABC News, Barr has instructed FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich to brief Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen “every three hours” on the FBI’s investigation into the cause of Epstein’s death and “numerous agents were assigned to the FBI and OIG investigations.”
5) On the same day as Barr’s comments, FBI agents conducted a raid on Epstein’s Little St. James Island.
At least a dozen agents were pictured disembarking speedboats and moving about the island using golf carts. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
6) The autopsy on Epstein was performed Sunday but results have not been publicly released noting that the determination of the cause of death was “pending further information at this time.”
7) According to The Wall Street Journal, Epstein had been removed from suicide watch in late July at the request of his lawyers. wsj.com/articles/there…
8) When the decision was made to remove Mr. Epstein from suicide watch, the jail informed the Justice Department that Mr. Epstein would have a cellmate and that a guard would look into his cell every 30 minutes.
These procedures were not followed on the night of Epstein’s death.
9) The New York Post reported that “There’s no surveillance video of the incident.”
While there are cameras in the cell block to which Epstein had been assigned, they were reportedly “trained on the areas outside the cells and not inside.”
10) One of the individuals who had been assigned to watch Epstein’s unit “did not normally work as a correctional officer but, like others in roles such as counselors and teachers, was able to do so.” washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
11) Epstein’s death followed the Friday release of more than 2,000 pages of documents related to a now-settled lawsuit against Epstein’s ex-girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, by Virginia Giuffre.
12) Giuffre claimed that she was forced to have sex with Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, model scout Jean Luc Brunel, and "many other powerful men" in court documents.
Dershowitz and Brunel have denied the allegations.
13) According to the Giuffre court documents, the flight records are not complete as they were maintained by only one pilot, Dave Rodgers:

15) Epstein’s financial dealings also appear to be coming under scrutiny.
Deutsche Bank, “where Mr. Epstein was a client from 2013 until June 2019, has been handing over transaction-by-transaction data to federal prosecutors and other authorities.” nytimes.com/2019/08/11/bus…
16) It has also been reported that Les Wexner, a long-time client of Epstein’s has been providing documents to federal investigators which allegedly show “all sorts of irregularities and theft” on the part of Epstein. cnbc.com/2019/08/12/les…
17) Additionally, two of Epstein’s longtime lawyers, Darren Indyke and Jeffrey Schantz, who were both involved in Epstein’s financial transactions, including trusts in the Virgin Islands, have recently hired criminal defense lawyers.

🧵Under FEMA's Emergency Food & Shelter Program is a section called Humanitarian EFSP for Organizations Assisting Migrants
Included is a table which lists yearly funding of humanitarian relief for illegals at the border. The numbers are huge: $715 million fema.gov/grants/emergen…
Unlike the other grants that we found, there are no links to final recipients or a breakdown of how the amounts are spent. We do get a link to FEMA’s actual Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) - but it takes us to a password locked site.
A site that shows what must be the recipients of this portion of FEMA’s funding: United Way; The Jewish Federation, Catholic Charities USA; Salvation Army; The National Council of the Churches of Christ, and; The American Red Cross. efsp.unitedway.org/efsp/website/i…
The above referenced amounts are separate from grants provided under FEMA’s “Shelter and Services Program”.
The amounts designated for illegals under FEMA's S&S Program (just between the years 2024 and 2023) are again huge: $650 million and $364 million respectively.
Drop down on FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program page to “Annual Funding” in order to see the amounts we’re referencing. fema.gov/grants/shelter…
1) Mark Zuckerberg made some huge admissions in his recent letter to the House Judiciary GOP.
Zuckerberg admitted that the Biden-Harris Administration "pressured" Facebook to censor stories on the origin of Covid. He admitted that the FBI pressured Facebook to censor the Hunter Laptop story. And he admitted that Facebook did what the government asked - censor Americans.
Zuckerberg also, sort of, addressed his personal contributions during the 2020 election. He appeared to be contrite for his actions, but is that in any way correct? Or is he simply worried because he got caught? A closer look at Facebook's actions over the years may answer that question.
2) The efforts of Zuckerberg and Facebook on behalf of Democrats and the DNC goes back to at least 2012 when Facebook shared their user data with the Obama campaign.
Obama’s Election Team was given full access to Facebook’s data in 2012. Access that was not - and would not have been granted to Conservatives.
As a result, any time people used Facebook’s log-in button to sign on to the campaign’s website, the Obama data scientists were able to access their profile as well as their friends’ information. That allowed them to chart the closeness of people’s relationships and make estimates about which people would be most likely to influence other people in their network to vote.
“We ingested the entire U.S. social graph,” Carol Davidsen said in an interview. “We would ask permission to basically scrape your profile, and also scrape your friends, basically anything that was available to scrape. We scraped it all.”
Davidson also highlighted the favoritism Facebook gave to Obama’s campaign, noting that Facebook “came to office in the days following election recruiting & were very candid that they allowed us to do things they wouldn’t have allowed someone else to do because they were on our side.”
Which raises an important question. If Facebook gave the Obama Campaign access to valuable data worth millions of dollars to bolster Obama’s chances of winning the election, why wasn’t it counted as in-kind political contributions by the Obama Campaign?
3) We’ve all heard how Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg infamously privatized elements of the 2020 presidential election when he sent nearly half-a-billion dollars to local election boards in key states to turn out likely Democratic voters.
To put that into perspective, Zuckerberg alone spent almost as much money funding government election offices as the entire federal government spent on the 2020 election.
Zuckerberg’s payments were supposedly made to fill so-called funding gaps from the federal government but the reality is that the Zuckerbucks – as they have come to be known – were distributed on a highly partisan basis with the aim of electing Biden and other Democrats.
Zuckerberg claimed in his recent letter that his efforts were non-partisan, but this is simply not true.
Zuckerberg essentially mounted a private takeover of government election offices. And it affected all of the key states that helped Biden “win” the election. In Wisconsin, the Zuckerbucks payments were later found to have violated bribery laws. A study also found that without those payments, Trump would have prevailed in Wisconsin.
Facebook later confirmed that it also provided the Biden White House with censorship assistance routinely on a variety of crucial issues.
On July 23, 2023, Eisen published a far longer 264 page report, titled "Trump on Trial: A Model Prosecution Memo for Federal Election Interference Crimes Second Edition" justsecurity.org/wp-content/upl…
Eisen: This model prosecution memorandum (or “pros memo”) assesses federal charges Special Counsel Jack Smith may bring against former President Donald Trump for alleged criminal interference in the 2020 election.
Solomon went to WH on evening of Jan 19, 2021 where he reviewed docs.
Plan was to fully disseminate to public on morning of the 20th.
But Solomon received a call late that night from someone w/in WH asking for their return for "additional redactions."
Here's what happened next
"On his initiative and without the President’s knowledge or consent, one of the President’s subordinates decided that redactions consistent with the standards of the Privacy Act should be applied to the binder before it was publicly released, the Office of Legal Counsel’s opinion notwithstanding."
We know from an email sent by George Kent, deputy chief of mission in Kyiv, that a $7mm bribe was paid to the office of Ukrainian chief prosecutor Vitaly Yarema some time in latter part of 2014.
Yarema's office issued a Dec 25, 2014 letter to the UK Courts - who had been investigating Zlochevsky - stating there was no longer an active Ukraine investigation into Zlochevsky.
This letter forced the UK Court to drop case.
Yarema and his staff were fired ~one month later.
Yarema's replacement was Viktor Shokin - who reopened the Ukraine investigation into Zlochevsky & Burisma.
At the time of the bribe, Hunter was — per Burisma — in charge of Burisma’s legal affairs. docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU…
