A classic example of overselling meets unrealistic expectations.

AG Pam Bondi got burned by her New York field office when they failed to deliver all of the files associated with the Epstein case. After teasing for days that a release of documents was immanent, when the day finally came it was quickly discovered that there as a wide chasm between reality and expectation. In hindsight, she should have known that they’d disappoint her. Their job and that of the DOJ for the last four years, has been to cover for the Biden Crime Family. On the other side is a good slice of the American public that felt like they got burned also. They were expecting a little black book, maybe even wrapped up with a bow.

For years, there’s been talk of an “Epstein client list”. Isn’t the idea that Epstein kept a client list like that of Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss maybe a little too unrealistic? One imagines a nice little black book with names numbers and maybe even notes on the named individual’s preferences. That always seemed a little bit too neat for me. More likely, what we’ll get is a list like that of P-Diddy’s known associates, compiled from court documents and other sources. We’ll have names, but we won’t always know the context. Were these people friends, associates, business partners, clients?

Even when the “full” file is finally released in some heavily redacted form, we are likely to be disappointed. Corrupt parties in the DOJ and FBI have had a long time to make any really damning evidence, say of some former president already known for sex scandals, disappear. If our worst fears of Epstein are true, that he was “suicided,” then there’s no reason to believe that anyone who could make that happen wouldn’t also make any incriminating evidence take a bath in BleachBit. We will only see what such people will allow us to see.
