The 33,000 pages included years-old court filings related to Epstein and his former girlfriend and associate Ghislaine Maxwell, as well as what appears to be bodycam footage from police searches and police interviews.

The files appear to contain information that is already public knowledge.

Don't bother looking it up. It's basically all shit we already have.

    ...of things already known and public while keeping the rest locked away.

    Just another distracting smokescreen.

    They released the files. Now to stop asking for it.

    Most of the documents released this week were already public, including records from the 2005 investigation into Epstein which contained a notation indicating the inquiry had been released previously in a 2017 public records request.

    Whelp, this is just a distraction. Keep calling your representatives on this and tell other US citizens to do the same.

    They are all on the list, and they know they will be skinned alive when it comes out.

    Nixon called this technique a "limited hangout" in the tapes he recorded of himself.

    They only release files when their cover story has failed. The point of the release is to distract. That's why they didn't release anything that's new.
