Government-issued pornography. Presumably accidental, but what can you expect with this longstanding prurient interest in Jeffrey Epstein?
February 2, 2026
"The Government Published Dozens of Nude Photos in the Epstein Files. The photos, which showed young women or possibly teenagers with their faces visible..."
"... were largely removed after The New York Times began notifying the Justice Department.... As part of its required disclosure of the Epstein files, the federal government was tasked with redacting both sexually explicit imagery and information that could be used to identify victims. But in the process of reviewing more than three million pages uploaded to the Justice Department’s website on Friday, The New York Times came across nearly 40 unredacted images that appeared to be part of a personal photo collection, showing both nude bodies and the faces of the people portrayed...."

Did the Times mention Lord Peter Mendelson?
I'm guessing "No."
Still no "Trump Pony?" Maybe, just maybe, if one keeps digging.
Mandelson.
Fustercluckin’…
Epstein wanted to regime change Putin in 2012, the suggested new leader was in the Russian Duma, but he fled to Kiev, where he is still working with Zelensky.
Epstein's comment on the Maidan coup? "Many, many, opportunities..."
Thomas Massie nods.
We piped and you did not dance; we wailed and you did not mourn. They are going to critique this Administration no matter what. CC, JSM
They (Congress and Tommy Massie) wanted 5 million pages released overnight so they shouldn't be surprised that, to use the Clinton's favorite passive excuse, "mistakes were made."
I want to say that it was purposeful, to put the people calling for the release (practically the planet) on the unenviable position of denouncing the release. It's too cute.
Of course, I can't say that it was purposeful, because that would be unfair speculation on my part. 😇
"Government-issued pornography."
Well they consume quite a bit, so...
I'm prognosticating a thick thread and a mucid miasma.
So that waste of space Thomas Massie wanted all of the porn published I guess.
“ . . . this longstanding prurient interest in Jeffrey Epstein?”
‘C’mon. You think the interest in Epstein is a prurient one? Really?!? The interest is in doing anything to smear and damage Trump.
Democrats did everything they could to coverup Epstein because he was a Democrat and the abusers were Democrats and elites. They only got interested after the ham fisted handling of the files by Pam Bondi. They saw an opportunity and took it.
"Government-issued pornography."
Introducing Althouse as Potter Stewart.
Did they at least get the redactions fixed so that people couldn't just turn off the switch in Microsoft word to reveal the text?
A secret ballot would vote to release everything unredacted, and index it by level of lascivious. Then the A.I. frensy would be a tidal wave. We would find video proving Santa Clause was a pedophile, which makes perfect sense in the modern sensibility.
Thomas Massie didn’t care a twit about innocents getting exposed or hurt. He was standing on principle, his principle.
I used to like Massie, but he has turned into a crank. Maybe he was always a crank and I just didn’t notice.
The number one priority is to hide the Epstein-Mossad- Israeli Government connection. BTW, its interesting that Bill Barr had some weird close relationship with Epstein that most of the media seems amazingly incurious about.
I don't know who was the worst Trump pick: Wray or Barr.
They posted some emails of Prince andrew drooling over the prospect of meeting a "24 year old". Wow, what a perv that guy is. No wonder he got demoted by King Charles.
Dan Bongino is back live on Rumble and free to say what he knows (with limits). I can't think of anyone I'd rather hear from on what they saw from the inside. A dose of reality over the posers telling us what they think is happening with zero actual knowledge and none first hand.
Here is what really happened. It was deduced that it would take too long to go thru everything, because the assigned task force (as per OSHA regulations) would have to take time off, intermittently, in order to recover from the trauma induced by the lurid images. Those people have been maimed for life. Every session was compared to a short waterboarding.
Chuck has his tissues at the ready
But all the leftists were demanding the released files be unredacted.
So back to 3,999,960 pages released.
Do I have this correct? Apparently we have finally found a task safe from AI grasp.
Granted; it is something that doesn't come up every day.
Government-issued pornography.
They didn't know it when they saw it.
If government issued pornography, is anything like government issued Marijuana, then a 13-year-old boy couldn't even get his rocks off on it.
“Did they at least get the redactions fixed so that people couldn't just turn off the switch in Microsoft word to reveal the text?”
Thanks for the tip—checking now….
There are a lot of Obama/Biden holdovers still in the DOJ.
I would not put it past the Democrat traitors burrowed into our government to do this on purpose to get Trump.
They are evil people.
’Mandelson’
Mandelbaum, Mandelbaum!!
Bill "Nothing-to-See-Here" Barr's dad knew Epstein, hired him as a teacher, and wrote a novel with a lot of man-girl explicit sex scenes in it.

You could have the most fey thirteen year old in glee club, but if he's getting aroused by pictures of "Lord" Mandelson in tighty whities then the boy ain't right.
Nude or naked?

I’m thinking it would be similar to the old Soviet Fashion Show commercial from Wendy’s - but porn instead.

I’m thinking government porn would include chapel roan in evening wear.

But still no evidence that Donald Trump did anything untoward.
I wonder if Bondi was ham-handed as someone said or this is playing out as intended. A rope-a-dope ending with salacious stuff appearing on Demmy allies. "Hey, we told you you wouldn't like what would come out. Don't complain now!"
I particularly like what came out on Gates. He gave his wife and STD and thought he could treat it without her knowing? Sound's like a bad, low budget, movie.

"I particularly like what came out on Gates. He gave his wife and STD and thought he could treat it without her knowing?"
So far, that's the best thing I got out of this. It could work, and I'm sure it's been successfully done before. I wonder if he tried to tell her it was just a bug that would be fixed in a future update.
’I wonder if he tried to tell her it was just a bug that would be fixed in a future update.’
Golf clap.
Well, we know what they were looking for.
I hope there are thousands of doc reviewers looking at all this because I sure as hell don't want to.
"bagoh20 said...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't all the Gates STD "evidence" in the form of a draft email that Epstein wrote but never sent? Epstein has a history of "incriminating" people in his communications with others.
"Did the Times mention Lord Peter Mendelson"
The Epstein files are causing scandals in multiple countries, so it's natural that the media in each country is focusing on their scandals. Mendelson is the lead story on BBC's website. There's calls for investigations and Starmer is calling for him to resign from the House of Lords.
The media here in Norway are focusing on the Epstein's contacts with the Crown Pincess and a form Prime Minister. Every couple of hours there are new relevations.
They did get divorced. Was that shortly after this? IDK.
I wouldn't send that email either, but I would delete it from "drafts".
By releasing the Epstein files with so little redaction, the DOJ has jeopardized the privacy and well-being of Epstein's real victims—the elderly billionaires who sent him embarrassing emails about treating STDs.
Speaking of burying huge troves of embarrassing information, this out of 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇦
“ Health Minister Marjorie Michel’s department has sealed internal reports on vaccine and drug injuries for 15 years, records show. The documents run to “several million pages,” it said.”
Bongino explains why the Epstein files are going to disappoint a lot of people. Basically the evidence people thought was there just wasn't: no list, (his rolodex is already out), no tapes of powerful men having sex with kids, a lot of stuff you heard was just made up hearsay that did not hold up.
BTW, Trump calls into the show.
>prurient interest
The interest isn't purient; nobody wants to know more about the sex itself. The interest is all about the ~10 yr coverup and what it says about our government/elites.

But apparently not "fit to print" here in the US.
The NYT did run some articles back in October and November about Mandelson being fired as Ambassador to the US over Epstein disclosures. But they are silent today.
Imagine being worth $115 Billion and all anyone is going to remember you for is that you wanted people to eat bugs and you gave your wife an STD.
Nobody should be surprised at Bill's behavior. He did name his company after his penis, after all.
From government cheese to government porn in one lifetime.
Thank you capitalism!
Kak is wack ... ing (nod to Iman)
So Bill Gates bought a $40 million dollar equestrian estate in the next town over from Royal Palm Beach, FL where Epstein recruited girls from the high school.

Hahah!
The kakistophage is a fountain of shitty political ideas and uproariously wrong analyses of current events, but he can be pretty droll from time to time. This place would be less amusing without him.
Gates had guilt written all over his face in a 2021 interview about his relationship with Epstein:

No one in the legacy media worries enough about the billionaire class.

Women have talked each other into some exceedingly bizarre and judgmental opinions about totally legal age-gap relationships over the past couple of decades, particularly bitter left-wing single women with few to no prospects for matrimony and motherhood. In certain neighborhoods I bet you could find a plurality of women who quite seriously agree that a romantic or sexual relationship of any sort between a 24 year old woman and a 60-odd year old man is perverted by definition and ought to be illegal.
As the son of a father who was quite a few years older than my mother, I have very little tolerance for the cat-lady Karens of the self-appointed love police.
Remember the bank job ostensibly a simlple heist but included a host of compromising pics like prince margaret
"the cat-lady Karens of the self-appointed love police."
I suspect love is not the emotion in play here.
Makes sense that they should include that stuff, but only because that is what Congress demanded. It is also why this stuff is normally protected by courts.
I do like Kevin’s comment about they didn’t know it when they saw it. Perfect.
Ciso, I don't think princess margaret gave a royal rat's ass who saw her dirty pictures. I suppose her sister was still fighting a forlorn retrograde against the decline of the royal fam, though. CC, JSM

Hassayamper: "As the son of a father who was quite a few years older than my mother, I have very little tolerance for the cat-lady Karens of the self-appointed love police."
As an old guy, I stand shoulder-to-shoulder, brother.

I have a very large extended family tree on Ancestry. With quite a few second (or even third) marriages in that range- going back into the 1700s. Usually, but not always, younger widows with children. Being widowed at a young age wasn't all that uncommon for most of history. The literary trope is the evil stepmother, not the evil stepfather. For reasons.
What's different about today is the sugar daddy is looking for a 20 something without children. And there seems to be an endless supply of them. Of course the biggest opposition is from particularly bitter left-wing single women with few to no prospects for matrimony and motherhood.
Then there's this: "...the last known surviving Civil War widow veteran died December 16, 2020 at 101 in Marshfield, Missouri. Helen Viola Jackson, at age 17, married 93-year-old widower James Bolin." A bit extreme I'd say.
Then there's one of my great-grandfathers. 30 years old (but only 24 by US records...) who married my great-grandmother just before her 16th birthday, And 5 months later my grandfather, an only child, was born "prematurely" and lived, remarkable for the year 1895.
A few million pages of documents were released and only a few have pics that shouldn't have been published. Not bad.
Whose highlight reel is the best?
I don't follow online gaming- or gaming at all. Just been informed by my son that Epstein was banned from Call of Duty servers around early 2013 or so- with a comment from him and others of his peer group- "Do you know how evil you have to be to be banned from Call of Duty back then?" Apparently PC and DEI have made it really easy to be banned now, but back then, it was a free for all.
So, is Epstein dead now? Next!
I suspect love is not the emotion in play here.
Indeed. "Romantic or sexual relationship" is what I said. Dirty old Prince Andrew, "Randy Andy", undoubtedly only loved a few body parts of these women. He comes from a very long line of sex fiends, by the way. His great-great-grandfather was particularly notorious.
But since I heard someone say, "Who do you think you are? The Love Police?" to one of these clucking old busybodies, I can't see them as anything else.
with this longstanding prurient interest in Jeffrey Epstein...
I never knew prurient was another word for idiotic. Hmm. Learn something new every day.
I'm pretty sure if Trump or the latest Republican-du-jour to attack isn't incriminated, then they aren't released and there's a coverup (still). So says the local squeals from the left.
Some peoples deep dives into the document dump are turning up non-prurient but fascinating stuff. Epstein seems to have been a sort of communications node among the global rich and powerful. His comms are full of people asking for introductions and advice on how to approach other people.
What all this had to do with being a pimp for teenage girls is uncertain. Introducing the Rothschilds to Peter Thiel (who is gay) for instance.
The history of our time will have to be written with attention paid to Epstein as a communication nexus.
Just FYI - I put "24 year old" in quotes for a reason. Epstein was traficking (sic) underage girls - 18 and under. Prince andrew didn't need a vist to "Epstein island" to fuck 24 year olds.
And Epstein wasn't running a dating service for young girls who wanted to meet older gentlemen. LOL. He was targeting girls to pimp them out for fun and Israel.
As for Prince Andrew, if he wanted to run around screwing 19 year olds, he should have abdicated. He's supposed to be a Prince - not a whoremonger. Now that he's been stripped of his title, he can go find as many young girls to have sex with as he wants. As long as he has enough $$. They aint gonna fuck him for his 100 y/o body. LOL
If Demetia Donnie is innocent, why did he have Jeffy Epstein murdered while he was locked up?
NPR is all over this today. They've dragged on a relative of one of the victims. Yes, it's monstrous what has been released. Words like 'problematic' and other triggering descriptors are being bandied, with outraged gusto. Pictures or women have been released, only some of the names have been redacted. Some of the pictures might be of girls ! Why, so many names have been carelessly shown, you'd think they were ICE agents.
Now I happen to think that it's unlikely all of the files will ultimately be released, because over a decade has passed and I have no illusions about the custodians of evidence that work for the Feds. But today's flavor is 'Umbrage', and the servings are extra large.
One remembers a certain dc madams black book, and they selectively leaked some names not others
I was wrong. Government-issued porn fail to lift Althousiana into the 100 comments stratosphere.
Begs the question. Is government issued porn more popular than ICE? That’s a head scratcher.
Why are the victims’ names and faces not being redacted while the perpetrators are? Who are the 29 people the government cut deals with during Epstein investigation? Who are the four co-conspirators?
“The 25 men referenced by Ghislaine Maxwell in her December 17, 2025, habeas corpus petition (filed to challenge her sex-trafficking conviction) are not publicly identified.
In the filing, Maxwell’s legal team alleges that federal prosecutors (or plaintiff lawyers tied to civil claims) reached confidential or “secret” settlements with these 25 unnamed male associates of Jeffrey Epstein. The petition describes them as individuals who “could equally be considered as co-conspirators” in Epstein’s activities but were never prosecuted or indicted. Maxwell claims these deals were not disclosed to her defense team during her trial, and she states she would have called them as witnesses if their identities and the settlements had been revealed.
Key points from reliable reports on the petition:
• The 25 men are explicitly described as unnamed and unrevealed even to Maxwell herself at the time.
• No court documents, DOJ releases, or subsequent reporting (as of early February 2026) have disclosed their names.
• This claim is part of Maxwell’s broader argument of prosecutorial misconduct and Brady violations (failure to disclose potentially exculpatory evidence).
• The petition combines these 25 with the four named female co-conspirators from Epstein’s 2008 Florida non-prosecution agreement (Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova, Lesley Groff, and Adriana Ross), totaling the “29” figure often cited in headlines.”
Grok
Who are the four co-conspirators?
“The four named co-conspirators from the 2008 NPA are all women who worked for Epstein and were accused by victims of facilitating his abuse:
• Sarah Kellen (also known as Sarah Kensington or Sarah Vickers), who allegedly scheduled appointments with underage girls. 
• Nadia Marcinkova (also known as Nadia Marcinko), who was described in court documents as Epstein’s “sex slave” and accused of participating in abuse. 
• Lesley Groff, Epstein’s executive assistant, accused of recruiting and scheduling victims. 
• Adriana Ross (also known as Adriana Mucinska), a former model who allegedly helped manage Epstein’s operations and was questioned about destroying evidence.”

"Hey, we can't release these files, they are full of crazy and completely unverifiable stuff!" - Genius or maybe Ingenious.
Epstein, is a real life ‘Years at Bernie’s’. I don’t think anybody could’ve made this stuff up.
Turns out that the people Epsein regularly hung out with led rather desperate, shabby lives.
Why werent they charged then
"Turns out that the people Epsein regularly hung out with led rather desperate, shabby lives."
Well, they're mostly Democrats, so...
In a sane country, which l fully stipulate America is not currently, a Nuremberg-type trial combined with elements of a South African style Truth & Reconciliation Commission, where all but the worst offenders get a full pardon as long as they reveal everything they're asked and tell the truth, would seem to be a possible answer to these decades long smoldering conspiracy theories that are weaponized by both parties. It’s just crazy. People on both sides of the aisle talk all this baloney about the "rule of law" so let's put their feet to the fire and see if they really believe that in fact. Ask whoever the f*** whatever you want, and as long as they tell the truth, no prosecution. But no hemming, hawing, omissions, filibusters, or stonewalling allowed either. You give them a pass on everything except for the shame that they put upon themselves by their behavior.
Interestingly the Epstein connection in Europe is Peter Mandelson, Tony Blairs and Gordon Browns crony and perennially in the UK cabinet in Labour governments. Last seen in the House of Lords and as UK's ambassador to the US.
The problem with him isnt girls(he's gay), but receiving payoffs from Epstein. Also part of the Epstein communications nexus.
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of two crimes in 2008 as part of a controversial plea deal in Florida state court.
He pleaded guilty to: Soliciting a prostitute (a felony under Florida law); procuring a person under the age of 18 for prostitution. In 2019, he was arrested on new federal charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors (alleging abuse of dozens of girls between 2002–2005 in New York and Florida). He died by suicide in jail before trial, so those charges were never adjudicated and he was not convicted of them.
That's all. There are countries on earth where his actions were perfectly legal. But they are not influenced by the rump Christian sects who want no one to have fun; the mass of women who have been influenced by the vagino-Marxist thought of second wave feminism that is all about "power differential" but denies the power of young pussy, known to early science as reproductive biology; nor the preponderance of men who are blessed with unruly teenage daughters.
Epstein and Maxwell were holding none of these young women in chains. They chose to participate of their own free will. The notion that good judgment of maturity on sexual matters is conferred at an arbitrary age is a preposterous fiction.
I say show it all! Don't go look if you don't want to see. If some of these women now have families have to do some 'splainin, so be it. Let the New York Times, Inga, and Kakistocracy search the data dump with fingers trembling in excitement. The notion that it contains something colossal and new about Trump is an embarrassment to the proven dirty slinging abilities of the Democrat machine.
It's pretty obvious why the heel dragging on these files, which Biden could have released, BTW. Epstein was involved so heavily in the power elite, the Davos crowd, etc, and the little girls seems like it was only a side business.
It's public record that Epstein's common-law wife was the daughter of a high ranking Israeli spy. This guy was plugged in everywhere.
Nude pictures, I never thought the government would sink that low except for bare breasted angels and liberty girls with no pantys and such. When my Uncle died I found a porn cartoon book from his time in the army in Korea. And he was a captain!
Everyone worries about Epstein but does not give one damn of the teens raped in England by rape gangs. Democrats decry the deportation of illegal immigrants who sell 12 year old girls on the street in LA but if you are mentioned in a spurious email in the Epstein you are satan.
The Epstein files.
Thoughts I had concerning the actual crimes of Epstein, the agency of the women involved, the source of laws on age of consent, and Inga and Kakistocracy eagerly poring through the files for the Trump gotcha moment apparently exceeded local tolerance.
Oso,
Should I point out, yet again, that in a solid majority of the US states the age of consent is 16? 7 more make it 17, so it's only a 1/3 minority of the states that set age of consent at 18.
And now that I've pointed this out, many of the Usual Suspects ™ will start braying that I am a supporter of the loathsome Epstein. Oh well c'est le vie
Kirk, are you still a practicing pederast? I'm joking, of course. But in this thread if I quip "I kid, I kid" I am at risk of the wrath.
Oso LOL!
