Just a reminder that despite doing a good thing on the Epstein Files, Thomas Massie is a deeply unserious person.

This email is getting a lot of play as if it carries some official weight. It's from an journalist/anti-human-trafficking activist/eccentric named Conchita Sarnoff. She liked to email the feds tips about her investigations.

Then there's and email from some guy called Ken Turner who wrote to an NYPD detective claiming to be investigating child trafficking in Mexico. His allegations sound like a draft Pynchon gave up on because it was too weird. (EFTA00165013)

This 2019 email was passed along by podcaster Eddie Aragon, it purports to be from someone who used to work at Epstein's ranch and it promises CSAM evidence for Bitcoin. "SORRY NO QUESTIONS" (EFTA00067066)

I think of ICE more as an NGO:

We mainly have Epstein's word that he procured antibiotics and adderall for Bill Gates. HOWEVER, we also have this email from Eva Dubin, an MD, emailing Epstein to say she has the Adderall and the antibiotics and can she drop them off tomorrow?

A "b-day book update" from late 2002 that mentions Donald Trump. (EFTA02332441)

Once in a great while, someone tells Epstein off: "I do not need anyone to judge me and my capacities. And I am tired of your snobbish writing. Enough! I do not [want] you to write me any more."

They all knew what Epstein was and they romanticized it. He was just a "lovable rogue" to them because women's pain isn't real.

Foreshadowing. Epstein spent time with Julian Assange way back in 2009 and ogled Michael Wolff's young girlfriend.

Sometimes a document comes along that distills a matter to its sordid essence, like this email from Epstein to a young Russian woman: "you are 22, --only ask questions of men. they are not really intersted (sic) in your opinions until you are 30. and then only marginally"

We've always been a little paranoid.

Lawrence Krauss is all over the Epstein files. We knew Krauss was in the Epstein orbit, but my god.

Cool that the government asks the same questions as Jeffrey Epstein.

Here's another email where Epstein states more explicitly that Bill Clinton was never on Epstein Island. This appears to be an email exchange with one of Epstein's many attorneys or private investigators trying to discredit Virginia Giuffre.

Evocative little exchange between Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein in 2018. Epstein writes: "Dershowitz knows Clinton was never there."

Marjorie Taylor Greene is so bipartisan now. Last year it was just Democrats who were supposedly all pedophiles.

J6 co-conspirator Marjorie Taylor Greene says you can't vote your way out.

Who could forget the Leveilles, a father-son dirtbag duo, who crashed a No Kings protest in Miami as fake ICE agents?

The US already has effectively unfettered access to Greenland. They're desperate to find something they can have that's more than the 1951 defense agreement. Landry "cannot divulge the details" because they are not real.
