Newly released files show how Maria Farmer, who worked for Mr. Epstein in the 1990s, had urged the F.B.I. to investigate him. The case went nowhere for years.
Probably because he was a CIA asset.
Look at the mafia guys that murder people and walk free today courtesy of America’s witness protection program.
So when will they actually release it?
The NYT, CNN, Fox News, WaPo, etc criticizing the Epstein files is the equivalent of finding a lone roach in your house.
It’s not just one.
It’s a sign of something much, much worse
He said the government until now has denied the existence of the Ms. Farmer’s report, and that it was “shameful” that it was kept secret. “There should be a full fledged investigation into every government employee who knew about this document and allowed a narrative to be publicized that it did not exist,” Mr. Edwards said. An internal investigation of the Department of Justice’s handling of the Epstein case, released in 2020, made no mention of Ms. Farmer’s original complaint.
Absolutely Bonkers
“There should be a full fledged investigation into every government employee who knew about this document and allowed a narrative to be publicized that it did not exist,”
And may I add, “and then hang every damn one of them as traitors.”
Hey it’s me Detective Hangemall. I’ll gladly investigate this but my record so far is zero convictions. All the damn suspects keep disappearing but I’m willing to work for free.
1996? When Bubba was potus? I wonder why the FBI ignored it
Funny thing is that no FBI director has been appointed by a Democrat. Not even Clinton had that kind of control of the FBI.
Edit: looks like I was wrong about appointments; Clinton did appoint an FBI director who had previously been appointed by Bush to another position. He still didn’t have the kind of power over the FBI that would have let him quash an investigation like this
The 5th Director of the FBI, Louis Freeh, who was director at the time of the complaint, was literally appointed by Bill Clinton. Furthermore, the 3rd director, William Webster, was appointed by Jimmy Carter, and the 7th director, James Comey, was appointed by Barack Obama.
I believe you’re counting the directors wrong. Freeh was the 15th, Webster was 11th, and Comey was 18th. https://www.fbi.gov/history/directors.
Youre right. He was also previously appointed by Bush. Not exactly a partisan, and the FBI still would gladly have gotten Clinton for this if they’d been aware of his involvement
OP is misremembering. The real key is that no Democrat has ever been appointed to run the FBI. Democrats always appoint Republicans to run the FBI.
Shh. This is lemmy, where we make excuses for democrats no matter what they do.
You getting downvoted for this is just proof they hate you calling it out. If they weren’t offended by the truth they’d stop downvoting you.
What mental fuckery is this? He got downvoted for being wrong, not as “proof he called it out”. You must be a magat, because sane people can’t twist like that.
“If you don’t the party that didn’t stop the Republicans you must be a Republican” good logic.
I would have made some kind of sarcastic joking “welcome to lemmy” comment, but your profile says it was created two and a half years ago in the era of the great third party app reddit exodus.
The biggest Democrat “support” I generally see here, and which I have contributed to myself, is the suggestion that it may be a good idea to vote for a severely flawed Democrat in order to avoid everything we’re seeing right now and have waiting for us in the next 3+ years.

Three comments up is someone lying and saying no democrat has ever appointed an FBI chair because a Clinton appointee was head of the agency when the allegations were ignored. It’s heavily upvoted.
This is not the gotcha you think it is.
First, the comment you chose is replying to another comment you don’t choose that DID blame it on Clinton and got far more upvotes. And if you care so much about votes then this post of yours seems to have been rejected by the collective so far.
But more importantly, I responded to your broad generalized statement with one of my own. I don’t know why you think a single counter example (even a good one and not just somebody being wrong) is going to shatter my statement as if it’s a scientific theory.

The one blaming it on clinton wasn’t telling an obvious lie. Since this is lemmy, the lie was welcome because it absolved the centrist wing of the party.

Do you really want me to list all the times people on lemmy have lied and made excuses for the centrist wing of the democratic party? Will you immediately dismiss them and make excuses for them like your “being wrong” garbage?
They’re misremembering. What they’re trying to remember is the fact that no Democrat has ever been appointed to run the FBI. Democratic presidents appoint Republicans to run the FBI.
You’re making excuses for excuses.
They do exist, but in my experience they are somewhat rare here.
In my experience they aren’t, but I’m often the one they’re making excuses at.
I was just thinking this. The FBI was completely in dependent back then. Still interesting to note.
I’m losing my mind. Keep getting banned on reddit because the ban bot’s list of unacceptable words keeps growing at an exponential rate.
Now my comments are dissappearing when I submit them on Lemmy too
I’m just screaming into the void
Edit: I now have proof that humans are not reading appeals. I told them off using the most vulgar language I could muster in my appeal
An hour ago my appeal was approved
I feel like Morgan Freeman’s character “Red” at the end of Shawshank

EDIT: yeah you’re totally getting censored because you’re using inappropriate words. You can’t use any inappropriate words on lemmy, that’s why it’s such a bucket of boiling hot ape shum, what in the corpse-fucking shit is even fucking wrong with this hymen-gnawing world? We can’t even fucking cuss!
I’ve fucked barn cats with more tact and self awareness than this arbitrary word-based filter, WHERE THE FUCK IS MY SHITEATING FREEDOM?
You can’t just say ‘dishwasher’!
Suck my fucking cock you turgid jizz squeegee.
You can’t just say “squeegee”!
Eat a dick you limpid shit gourmand
If you don’t already work in a trade, you’d likely have a bright future as a skilled blue collar worker. Your vocabulary would allow you to perform the deep magic.
Alas I do not, and don’t think my back could take a transition at this stage of my life.
That goes beyond the 7 words you can’t say on tv.
I can say whatever the fuck I want on fuckjng tv. If any motherfucker is pigfuckingly stupid enough to put my fucking idiotic ass onto fucking television then they can deal with the headfuckingly challenging god damned tessaract of shit that’s going to come out of my fucking mouth and they can spend an eternity drowning in that four dimensional fucktangle of sewage for all I fucking care.
Also this fuckjng censorship is out of fucking control, I am tired of sitting behind this Great Wall of fucking feces trying to get my important message out into the fucking world, why in the infant Christ fucking hell are we putting up with this egregious non consensual removal of our fucking balls?
Tell us what you really think…

What were you saying? Or what instance were they posted too? I imagine every instance will be a bit different. But I’m curious what could be said about Epstein and co that would get deleted. Only if you were directly calling for someone to attacked for something unproven would I imagine anyone having an issue here
Try posting to other instances.
not completely void, but it does feel like that sometimes…
Tbf, we don’t know who really owns any instance, especially the large ones (like the one you’re on). It could be reddit or meta for all we know
