Will the Epstein Files actually be released or blocked by ongoing investigations?
How are you? I am good. A lot going on. Let's get right to it. Yeah. Are they ever going to release... Will these files ever be released? I... I – there's some shenanigans going on, especially with this Southern District of New York or SDNY investigation. Here's what I think. Ahmed, you can tell me what you think. But I think that they're going to use this investigation to say we cannot release any information while there's an ongoing investigation. Which is the reason why they didn't come out during the Biden years, because there was an actual ongoing investigation with Ghislaine Maxwell and then her being found guilty and then her appeal. So that's why they weren't released. Those reportedly were not released because of that.
And now... I don't think they're going to be released, and the Trump administration is going to use the exact same excuse or reason, and I don't know if we'll ever get to the meat or the heart of the matter. No, I think you're right. I think that seems to be what they're intending to do. I mean, that timing of that announcement of this new investigation about only Democrats, apparently, because they're the only ones that were in these files, according to the DOJ, they want to use this as a smokescreen to say, hey, We are now no longer going to release these files because an active ongoing investigation is being done and we don't want to compromise that investigation. It seems like that's what they might attempt to do because there's I think in the bill there was some language in there that anything that potentially compromises, you know, victims or an active investigation could be withheld or restricted.
So. It seems like that timing of that investigation now makes total sense that maybe they were planning that capitulation from Trump and then are going to use this to restrict certain files maybe of the more damning kind for Trump. Do you think they'll get away with that, Ahmed? I don't think you'll get away from it from the people. I think the people will hold them accountable for it. It depends what happens after that. I think like if they release these files, we're going to get them within 30 days, according to the law. So I guess by before the week of Christmas, I wonder if they'll do well, wait to the tail end, but it just depends. And I mean, I think they might try to redact certain things and then I guess Congress could push them again.
But I really don't know. I think this investigation is a sham and they might try to shroud it, man. Excuse me. I watched that press conference with Pam Bondi and Cash Patel. Does Cash Patel ever talk or does he just stand there like this? Looking multiple directions at the same time.
How might the SDNY investigation be used to delay or withhold Epstein records?
This has never been more appropriate where I don't have to say it. It's just a saying that old people would say. Old people. Because old people would be knowing. Looking wise and otherwise. Exactly. Have you ever heard of that? They're looking wise and otherwise because he's looking wise and he's looking otherwise. Hilarious. And with Todd Blanche, right? Is that his name? Yes. And with Todd Blanche. And she basically like a robot, Ahmed, repeating the same line. We're going to follow the law forever. We want all victims to come forward. And then at the end, she throws in this, there's new information. And then all the folks who are outside of the Justice Department, their talking point is, I trust the Justice Department to do what is lawful and all the victims should come forward.
So they have their script in all of this. And by the way, hit the like, the thumbs up, the hearts, and make sure you follow us. It's important. So thank you very much. More people become aware of our conversation. and our channels. That's what we do out here in independent media, independent journalism. So they've got the talking points and they're going to stick to them. And they're just going to say, we're doing what the law actually allows us to do. Yeah, it seems like that could be the case. It depends. I really do think... Did she seem like a robot to you?
