Files from Epstein's case devoured by a dog
Jabs, Quips, and Epstein Files: Wrangling with the Powers That Be
(Thanks to Mike Benz for his fiery rhetoric)
It seems Attorney General Pam Bondi might've missed her mark just a smidge earlier this week. She claimed the Jeffrey Epstein files were conveniently sitting on her desk. Well, not quite. It was more like a hefty, tar-slathered hairball, labeled: "To Pamela Jo from her Friends in Blobville, good luck untangling this!" And she did indeed call it "disgusting."
But fear not, as promised, those Epstein files saw the light of day on Thursday - a meager two-hundred pages to the dismay and mortification of all, as they ended up being the same worn-out lists and flight logs every blogger and their umpteen aunts have shared across the web for ages.
However, the intrigue thickened later that day when AG Bondi declared that a whistleblower had tipped her off about the FBI's New York office and their Southern District of NY DOJ counterparts hiding "mountains and mountains" of evidence they'd been hoarding for years.
In response, AG Bondi penned a stern missive to the brand-new FBI Director Kash Patel, urging him to scurry the documents to Washington by the crack of dawn on Friday. Now, if I were Mr. Patel, I'd have taken a late-night spin up the Jersey Turnpike towards Blobville, raiding both FBI and DOJ offices in the Big Apple, and dragging a few federal employees out onto the street like the olden days when abortion clinic protesters were more of a thing.
Since we're a few hours shy of that Friday morning deadline, there's still some time before the unfolding Epstein drama reaches its denouement. Some niggling details may catch my attention here and there. For example, Maurene Comey, daughter of fired FBI head James Comey, has been a sharp attorney out of the Southern District of New York, handling cases ranging from Ghislaine Maxwell to Sean "Diddy" Combs, both channels devoted to grand-scale sleaze with famous faces.
Then there's the curious case of Bill Barr, who served as US Attorney General in 2019 when Jeffrey Epstein was, well, you know, snuffed in his federal lockup, conveniently, right? No one was held accountable for that, not the guards who somehow nodded off on duty, nor the warden who never bothered checking his most vital prisoner's security cameras.
But Bill Barr never faced judgement for that or a host of other questionable actions, including sitting on Hunter Biden's laptop during the preliminary impeachment hearings against President Trump in 2019[1]. The laptop, of course, was packed with Biden family financial shenanigans sneakily hidden from Trump's legal team.
A weird coincidence? Maybe. But consider the history of Bill Barr's pops, Donald Barr, who, as an OSS officer in WWII, was part of the founding of the CIA. He later groomed young Jeffrey Epstein into a math teacher at New York's Dalton Prep School in 1974 on the strength of counterfeit Stanford credentials. Epstein swiftly climbed the corporate ladder, morphed into a Wall Street big shot, and most likely, an Mossad agent. Epstein's rise and fall fueled his connections to British media mogul Robert Maxwell, his sex-obsessed daughter Ghislaine, and the launch of his underage sex ring[2].
Coincidentally, Donald Barr's son Bill Barr's rise mirrored Jeffrey Epstein's trajectory. Barr signed on with the CIA in 1973 as an analyst, left for law school in 1977, slithered his way into the Reagan White House, then the Bush One White House, where he tidied up the Iran-Contra mess, and eventually became Attorney General in 1991[3]. Between 1994 and 2019, he built a blob-centric law fortune, resurfacing as Attorney General in 2019 under President Trump, who he proceeded to betray repeatedly.
Now, it's no secret that President Trump socialized with Jeffrey Epstein, swirling in Epstein's glittering circle as yet another high-profile butterfly. Trump admits flying on Epstein's infamous airplane but only for the sake of catching a ride somewhere. The two eventually squabbled to the point Trump blackballed Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club as Epstein's sex capers became public knowledge, though his legal culpability remained lessened by President Obama's DOJ[4].
So, with all this ugly business in mind, it's clear that President Trump has no qualms about exposing any dirt lurking in the blob files. Keep in mind, it's not entirely impossible that blob agents weren't bent on deleting any potentially damaging evidence well before January 20. Other whistleblowers claim that FBI agents have been furiously working around the clock to erase documents on "stand-alone" servers in the days prior to Kash Patel's arrival[5].
As I wrap up this post at 8:02 a.m., it's still quiet on Pam Bondi's desk. No new hairballs have materialized. No public perp-walks out of the Southern District of New York or the FBI office. And, of course, the New York Times barely batted an eye at yesterday's Epstein shenanigans[6]. The workday is still long ahead. Stay tuned.

In the midst of the unfolding Epstein drama, AG Bondi's call for the FBI Director Kash Patel to reveal mounting evidence hidden by the FBI's New York office and Southern District of NY DOJ counterparts has sparked public interest. Meanwhile, the general news and crime-and-justice spheres have been abuzz with videos and discussions questioning the truth behind the bureau's alleged withholding of evidence. Additionally, the whistleblower's claim of a horde of missing documents has ignited a debate in the political arena, with some comparing it to the controversial history of Bill Barr, whose father Donald Barr, aka an OSS officer and CIA founder, helped Jeffrey Epstein land a teaching job in 1974. These connections between the past and present events suggest a web of complexity that demands further scrutiny in the videos, truth, politics, general-news, and crime-and-justice sectors.
