We are counting on you to continue to get the Epstein truth out there.

And the truth regarding everything else trump is doing. As much as trump wants us to forget the epstein files, it is a great distraction from all the other damage he's doing to the US and the world and we have to also keep that in the public's eye. While mainstream media just lets him lie, we have to continue to call him out..the economy is not better, the rest of the world neither likes or respects us, tariffs are a tax the American consumers pay (to say noting of his cozying up with terrorists, illegally bombing innocent persons in fishing boats, and well, the list is just too long)

Pat, You are spot on with this! Epstein is one of countless criminal travesties committed by the Seditionist, Rapist, Convicted Felon, child molester, election cheating monster! We want him held accountable for all. The only acceptable penalty should be the death penalty and every single thing done by this illegitimate seditionist regime deemed null and void!! The entire Party must pay a steep price!

This victim is apparently the same person that Michael Cohen was sent by Trump to find. Tara Palmeri's reporting focuses on a "Jane Doe" lawsuit from 2016 which alleged that Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse in the 1990s. The lawsuit was dropped days before the election.

Cohen's Admission: In interviews with Palmeri, Michael Cohen admitted that he dispatched a private investigator to track down the anonymous plaintiff in that case. He explained his attempts to locate the woman and what his investigator found.

Silence from Media: Palmeri has highlighted her frustration that this admission has largely been ignored by mainstream media outlets, a point she discussed on The Young Turks.

Podcast Episodes: The interviews and discussions are featured on "The Tara Palmeri Show."

Except for a few instances, the media has had the attention span of a newt.

Daniel, 😫 Repulsive and disgusting which is why nothing short of the death penalty should be applied after this quick trial.

You’re right Ben not to trust Trumps sudden turn in on wanting to release the files. If he can’t stop the vote from happening , he will sue or shred the files. Merick Garland did us all a disservice by trying to be a proper AG and not releasing them and preventing this hell.

Why doesn’t he immediately order Bondi to make the documents public?

Prosecutors like Maureen Comey have seen the files and can testify to what they saw.

Senator Ron Wyden has repeatedly sought to have the full Jeffrey Epstein financial files released by the U.S. Treasury Department, but has been unable to issue a subpoena for the records through the Senate Finance Committee due to a lack of bipartisan support. He has instead introduced a bill to compel their release.

Epstein is dead. Attorney client privilege died with him. The following had files and their Epstein files should be subpoenaed.

Roy Black: A prominent Miami defense attorney who was part of the legal team that negotiated the controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) in Florida, which allowed Epstein to avoid federal charges by pleading guilty to lesser state offenses. Black died in July 2025.

Alan Dershowitz: A Harvard Law School professor and well-known defense attorney who joined Epstein's legal team around 2005 and played a significant role in negotiating the NPA. Dershowitz has consistently denied accusations made by one of Epstein's victims that she was forced to have sex with him.

Kenneth Starr: A former independent counsel, Starr was a partner and later counsel at Kirkland & Ellis and was involved in Epstein's legal representation during the time of the 2008 plea deal.

Jay Lefkowitz: A longtime partner at Kirkland & Ellis, Lefkowitz was one of Epstein's defense attorneys in the 2007 case and met with then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta to discuss the plea deal.

Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn: These individuals served as Epstein's longtime personal attorney and accountant, respectively, and were named as executors of his will. They have been sued by victims who claim they helped build the financial infrastructure that enabled Epstein's abuses.

Martin Weinberg and Marc Allan Fernich: These attorneys represented Epstein in the 2019 federal sex trafficking case in New York.

Exactly! If he’s so in favor of releasing them, then do it now without all this political posturing BS. Dumb dumb is treading water and I hope he goes under very soon.

Unfortunately, Aty Client privileges do not stop once a Client dies. In can be waived after death only in certain circumstances, particularly regarding the estate.

This is one corrupt regime. They really think the people are stupid and don’t know what they’re doing, but we do know what they’re going. We will fight for the victims and our democracy even harder. Thanks for continuing to speak truth to power.

Great job Ben!

Ben you are correct in what will happen with the Epstein files. That is what I see happening. Some of the survivors of Epstein have done a docu commercial which Aaron Parnas aired. That needs to be shown on as many areas as possible. You are also correct that we the people need to keep strong and keep marching. We were waiting for the cavalry when all along it has been independent journalists that have been the cavalry and the American people are the foot soldiers.

Have the files been doctored? They’ve had plenty of time and they have the tools to alter reality.

The real problem with doctoring these files is going to be that there are other copies of things out there and when the files are no longer any value to the holder, comparing notes is going to go very badly for anyone who screwed with them. Bondi can't possibly believe, and probably doesn't, she is the guard of the only set of these files... they are undoubtedly spread out around the world with many people in possession of parts or all with copies.

Great Britain - stripped Andrew MW completely, so they must have something pretty ugly... France - Jon Luc Brunnel, after all he was in jail and supposedly killed himself...

Ghislaine Maxwell - she's running that prison in Texas and thinks a commutation or pardon is in the mix for her - and she is still alive - so she is holding some pretty gruesome cards, I'm thinking....

Putin - if anyone has a set, so does putin... 'nuff said.

and who knows who else - this was a global sex trafficking ring, not just New York and West Palm Beach and Little St. James...

Of course they have but maybe victims will be able to speak out more once they are released. I have no idea how any of that will work.

If the bill passes the house and senate Trump will probably lose his autopen, call in sick when it comes time for him to sign the release.

Follow the money. It's a good bet that financial crimes will be as blatant, if not as loathsome, as the sexual predation. Thanks for all you do.

As I said yesterday:

Another Big Lie: Rump now wants the pedo-files released.

What’s really going on: His fragile ego doesn’t want his sycophantic party to be seen voting against him. So he says “Vote for the bill” when the truth is he could order the entire file to be released tonight!

What will happen: He will attempt to block the pedo-files from being released by having his corrupt AG, Pam Blondi, say they are needed for an “active investigation” Rump has demanded she start, prosecuting Dems (only) for alleged crimes while ignoring (or burying) all evidence against Rump and his ReTrumpican oligarchs.

I believe Donald Trump is trying to leave a legacy for his family and his wife All the money that he's stealing from the people and other countries are going to go to them directly maybe in Swiss accounts or other ways and for them to be taken care of by having all these banks in different countries building up their wealth he already has his people his maga people doing his dirty work on TikTok spreading rumors and lies that Barack Obama is the main guy on the Epstein files I seen a video I tried to record it onto my other phone but they took it down so quickly so I don't know why they're doing this maybe some of your followers besides me can give you heads up on what we have seen I'm quite sure some of your followers have seen this video too it seems to me that Donald Trump is doing everything he can to put the blame on somebody else of what he has done wrong I'm being honest with you Ben I think Donald Trump would do anything to get his way for him and his rich friends he wants to show his rich friends that he has the power even though he doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground

Well, if all goes to hell... that ain't gonna work because these countries who just "love?" him will freeze his assets globally and take over his properties... So, if he's that stupid, he'll find out eventually as will his greedy offspring.
