I write a lot, in many places. One of which is Quora. Give me a follow there if you’re interested. Anyway, another writer I follow there answered a question about the Epstein Files, stating that he searched for his name there and it came up. Why? Because apparently Epstein was a Quora user and received their daily & weekly digest in his inbox. If your writing has ever been included in their digest, which mine has, it might be included in one of these huge data dumps from the Department of Justice. So, my curiosity piqued, I went to the DOJ Epstein Files website and put in my last name. Being cursed with a unique name is a blessing sometimes, as you can avoid haystacks and needles.
I didn’t find me, but what I did find was quite curious and certainly an clear indication that Trump’s DoJ is trying their best (though with obvious ham-handed tactics and execution) to be very biased and obviously political in their redactions. How? In Epstein’s emails are many more digests of financial, economic, and political newsletters going back decades. I have a distant cousin who is a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and who briefly served on the White House as an economic advisor around 2010-2012. He and I have exchanged a few emails over the years and I even had breakfast with him at the White House in 2010 when I was in northern Virginia for work over a period of many weeks. His name (and mine since we share the “Goolsbee” surname) comes up in Epstein’s email inbox a lot. Not directly, but mentioned in news and commentary about the economy an news out of the White House, in all these email digests that Epstein was subscribed to.
In those digests I noted hundreds of redactions which were very easy to understand in the context of the subject matter of the article. “GOP” “Republican” and names of Republican senators and representatives. No redactions of similar names and positions from the Democratic Party. Worst of all, I have found the word “Don’t” redacted in multiple places, which makes zero sense, until you realize that the text string is “Don T” (in other words “DON(ald) T(rump)”
When viewed in a completely unrelated to the whole Epstein/Pedophilia context, these seemingly random redactions of words become very clearly intended to cover up anything related to our President and anyone close to him having anything to do with Epstein.
Bondi and Patel are party to a wholly partisan, complete coverup of a conspiracy of sex traffickers, foreign intelligence operatives, and blackmail. They clearly want to pin it on their political opponents while hiding their own political masters. It’s right there, a searchable using my last name. Go have a look for yourself.
Oh, and here’s a funny, timely meme:
