But Republicans and Democrats alike say the files, including jail CCTV, contain little new information.

The files are in a google drive here

The House of Representatives Oversight Committee published 33,295 pages, including flight logs, jail surveillance video, court filings, audio recordings and emails.

But Republicans and Democrats alike said the files contained little new information and it is unclear if the justice department is withholding other Epstein records.

    Not one piece of information released was not already released. They don’t fucking care and won’t stop supporting him over this. If there were any evidence of wrongdoing by Trunp in those files, then the republicans would not be releasing them. Representative Luna even spilled the beans when she tweeted that with this release they will avoid having the vote on obtaining other materials. It’s all a con job.

    If you can to one single piece of information that is released in these 33,000 pages that is new, I would love to see it. If anything, the release of these files is going to get the republicans to say ‘see no Trump, but here is a flight log with Bill Clinton on it.’ Like we didn’t already fucking know.

    This entire charade is obvious, and is designed to get the ‘surely this time there will be consequences’ crowd to think they are making progress, which they are not.

      I haven’t looked through all 30k+ pages, and you’re probably right there’s nothing new. But they were forced to do this con move, or they would not have. And the choice of the con move is also adding to the mounting suspicion that this is a very well guarded piece of information and therefore must be damning.

      I would not describe myself as an optimist, but the GOP being forced to keep this story alive is a win. Not a big one, but they are not managing to burry this.

      Also note: we don’t need the official release. We just need one patriotic or just human with a moral compass who has seen the files and being sick of not being able to sleep for weeks since seeing it, to become a whistleblower and leak it.
