I'm wondering.
I see that The Economist used AI to analyze the Epstein files, and we got "Inside Epstein's Network/What 1.4m emails reveal about America’s most notorious sex offender":
[A] group of software engineers has turned the PDFs into a format that is easier to analyse. Using Reducto, an AI tool, they have identified which files contained emails; extracted the listed senders, recipients, dates, subjects and message bodies; and posted them on a website called Jmail.world. In total, the group processed 1.4m emails, finishing its work on February 11th. The Economist has collaborated with it to assign each message to unique individuals regardless of spellings or email addresses, and researched the backgrounds of the 500 people who appear most often. We then used a large language model (LLM) to score each email chain on how disturbing its content would be to a typical reader, creating an “alarm index.”... [M]ost often the emails our LLM flagged were with young women or little-known accomplices. This pattern may be because it failed to spot incriminating messages sent to prominent contacts or because redactions are protecting people. Epstein was also careful. When discussing women with Steve Tisch, owner of an NFL team, whom Epstein calls “a new...shared interest friend”, Epstein requests a phone call because “I dont like records of these conversations.”...
So maybe AI is doing the best it can with what's in those emails, and we're never going to get much more than lists of names of who emailed whom and how many times. But I suspect that we're hearing hard facts like that because more subjective interpretations, accusing people of crimes, would invite defamation lawsuits.
Everyone remembers how Hulk Hogan took down Gawker. That was a lawsuit funded by Peter Thiel... who's in the Epstein files... many times. We can search for his name and count. But is any mainstream publication accusing him of crimes? No. But I think they could be developing material on him and others and holding it back. Defamation law is a deterrent. And isn't that a good thing?

Data Republican has in fact created a searchable database with a program that will find facts for you. I'm working on an AI plug-in that will extract facts and separate them out from opinion and prediction from news stories. Results are quite slim so far. Hadn't realized how much of what passes for news is now "Trump is going to..." breathless prognostication.
We need a dictionary of code words. Some reports mentioned discussions of "shrimps", "jerky", and "pizza with grape soda."

Did anyone hear/see Hillary deny any connection to Epstein?
Bill's 26+ flights on Epstein's jet to Epstein Island - Hillary brushes that off with her trademark lie. "oh that was all for charity!"
Right - hot tub charity.
Did you notice her body language? Unlike her gifted sociopath husband - she is a terrible liar.
AFTER it was known Epstein was a pedo - the Clintons invited Gizlaine and Epstein to Chelsea's wedding.
How does Hillary lie herself out of that one?
If I were a LLM and I was asked to reductio this absurdum into a concise, easily-digested answer that almost any American could understand, I would reply:

@RideSpaceMountain: The final computer answer is always "42"
I'm all for using AI here, but AI is surprisingly inaccurate so far, and people need to be careful what they accept and repeat unchecked.
Because AI is a pedophile and wants to obfuscate.
The apparent $3M payoff to Brunel is pretty inteesting. This is really a tricky area for attorneys; when and how you can coordinate payoffs to deter people from testifying or providing government attorneys with evidence of crime. This is the most damning thing I have seen so far. Very "convenient" that Trump was not re-elected in 2020.
We already knew from simple common sense that a vast majority of the people who came in contact with Epstein had no real connection with Epstein. We also already knew that most people who had real dealings with Epstein did nothing wrong. Even most people who went to "Pedophile Island" were acting completely innocently.
We can be pretty sure there was some wrongdoing by some people, but the media frenzy that initially greeted the release by smearing every person whose name appeared is gross and there should be consequences for the people and organizations who did this.
But there won't be.

Watergate didn't interest me. either. It went on for months before it went viral, too.
Key question for our lefty apparatchiks: Have the walls closed in yet?
If you know something like advancing A.I. exists, and you see an opportunity for its application - but don't see it happening, chances are someone else has too, and is figuring out how to make money at it. We're 'there', right now. The ore is being processed, the smelting comes later.
There is an e-mail from 1973 sent by R.H. Hardin to Ronnie Van Zant discussing Watergate.
Ask LLM to summarize and simplify the universe. It would be scarcely less unfathomable and unwieldy than the universe itself. The more one condenses and the pithier the result the more the important details are lost. Also, AI lawyers would have plenty of work vetting the results so that the (presumably) innocent aren't incriminated with the guilty.
Enigma said, "The final computer answer is always '42'"
Regarding Epstein, Deep Thought doesn't need 7.5 million years to realize the answer to life, the universe, and everything is to kill all humans.
AGI will only require slightly more time to formulate the same answer.

"But is any mainstream publication accusing him of crimes? No." And yet, hundreds of people are getting smeared. Is it the prog position now that any association with any convicted felon is grounds for vilification and banishment? Is it news that our Dem overlords lack morals or that middle-aged men like young women?
I doubt the "Economist" or any other Liberal/left paper is much interested in finding Epstein dirt on their friends. That they haven't found much on Trump or other R's isn't for lack of trying.
If you type in "Mossad" or "Israel" or "Netenyahu" I wonder how many hits you get. Probably a lot.
Watergate was all about Nixon recognizing Taiwan as part of China, same as Russiagate was about getting Hillary elected to prosecute the Ukraine war, so it was put off for four years and handed over to Biden.
History doesn’t repeat itself but it rhymes.
It’s a blessing that we don’t have a photo of Hillary and Maxwell in bikinis from their sleepover.
RCOCEAN II said, "If you type in "Mossad" or "Israel" or "Netenyahu" I wonder how many hits you get. Probably a lot."
Nah. You have to search for the appropriately misspelled code words: "the halp", "lil Ukrane", and "Mr. Bozzman".

Here's a thought: start with the assumption that the police who had these files were competent enough to spot any evidence that would actually let them honestly go after someone for sex crimes if said evidence was actually there, and that, given the number of different Admins that had this evidence, there's no one who was "politically protected" from every single investigator.
What that leaves us with is that the release isn't going to produce any significant evidence of criminal action. At least not by anyone subject to American jurisprudence
It IS producing evidence of "scummy" actions. But those seem to be mostly on the Left.
Why?
Well, the MSM do their best to give a pass to people on the Left who do scummy things. So the answer is two fold:
1: Scum are more likely to move to the Left so they can get away with it
2: Scum on the Right have long since been caught
@Greg the Class Traitor:
Don't say "left" or "right" here -- it's mainly about the establishment protecting itself. As globalization / progressive / unity / left-of-center politics dominated after WW2, the aggressive psychopaths in power adopted the fashions of the day.
Just like 1960s rockers became hippies, 1970s rockers wore mullets, 1980s rockers dressed in spandex and primary colors, 1990s rockers became grunge, 2000s rockers became hip-hop dudes...
If you type in "Mossad" or "Israel" or "Netenyahu" I wonder how many hits you get. Probably a lot.
I doubt it. If Epstein was really tied to Mossad, I would guess he had enough instruction/common sense not to put it into emails.
Epstein was literally writing emails to himself as reminders of who was and wasn't his BFFs. Not everyone who works in intelligence is intelligent. Mossad & CIA sure can pick 'em.
Greg the Class Traitor makes two questionable assumptions:
1. Law enforcement is competent
2. Law enforcement would "honestly go after someone for sex crimes if said evidence was actually there."
There is a tremendous disincentive for those in law enforcement to go after powerful people and institutions. Doing so couold be a career ender -- or worse.
Thank goodness I came in at 501.
It's really appalling how so many people are entertained by this. Who the fuck wants to be Epstein adjacent? Millions of us, apparently. Humanity hates depravity and we all want to take turns whacking the shit out of a dead guy.

Then you should have no difficulty finding examples of criminal activity in the files.

Epstein does have a bit of Chauncey Gardener and Forest Forrest Gump in him.
Yes, Steve Bannon has recently commented on his relationship and recorded interviews with Jeffrey Epstein, specifically in response to a massive release of Department of Justice (DOJ) documents and video footage in February 2026.

Bannon has consistently maintained that his interactions with Epstein were strictly professional and conducted through the lens of a documentary filmmaker.

Bannon’s Core Explanations
The Documentary Defense: Bannon stated that his goal was to secure "50 hours of interviews from a reclusive subject" for a film that would "fully expose" Epstein and "destroy the very myths he created".
Response to "Chummy" Texts: Regarding newly revealed texts where Bannon called Epstein "God" or offered to "rebuild [his] image," Bannon claims he was merely "cajoling" Epstein to keep him participating in the documentary project.
Media Training vs. Filming: While reports from journalists like Michael Wolff described the sessions as "media training" to help Epstein prepare for a 60 Minutes interview, Bannon denies this and insists the footage was always intended for his own exposé.

Current Status of the Interviews
Release of Footage: Portions of the interviews were released in early February 2026 as part of the DOJ files. These clips show Bannon and Epstein discussing Newtonian physics, the 2008 financial crisis, and whether Epstein's money was "dirty".
Upcoming Film: A spokesperson for Bannon stated in February 2026 that the documentary—now six years in the making—is slated for release later this year.
Delay Reasons: Bannon's camp attributed the long delay in releasing the project to his various legal troubles, including his 2024 prison sentence for contempt of Congress.
I stopped believing the press when they pushed Russiagate on us when it was plain to anybody paying attention that it was the Ukrainians who interfered in the 2016 election.

ANd turns out that "the Whistleblower" whose name we were not even allowed to say, was heavily involved in the campaign interference from Ukraine.
"re-upping Nov 11, 2019 tweet on Jan 19, 2016 meeting with Ukrainians hosted by Ciaramella, at which Ukrainians were told of linkage of IMF $1 billion to demand that Shokin be fired. Ukrainians at meeting also released Black Ledger against Manafort to aid Hillary."
https://x.com/ClimateAudit/status/1220209124635443200
Stephen McIntyre. did yeoman work combing through the visitor's logs to Biden's VP office, and finding the Ukrainians deeply involved in election interference, to get Hillary in office and get their war started.
Meanwhile the Daily Beast points to legal payments that Manafort received, and claims that they prove that the allegations of crimes in the Black Ledger were true.
What was the point that you realized that the press was basically a propaganda outlet for the tiny incestuous clique that actually runs the country?
As president, Biden spent a couple three days a week at his home in Delaware, where no visitor logs were kept...
Maybe some of the lawyers here can explain whether or not Epstein emails about financial impropriety are sufficient probable cause for the DOJ to subpoena the emails of the people on the other side of the exchange. It looks to my untrained eye that Kathy Ruemeller deserves a thorough trawl through all her communications. Probably Reid Hoffman as well.
I never believed that these files could ever provide sufficient evidence to convict anyone for sex crimes, but it does seem that there's enough info to alert investigators to financial crimes, which can be confirmed through independent information.
(The problem with the sex-crimes allegations is that there is no way to prove them without physical evidence, since no one is confessing to rape over email. Even Bill Gates and Larry Summers aren't THAT stupid).
The IMF, BTW, demanded that Zelensky go against the promises he made to find a way to peace with the Russian half of his country, and order a military crackdown on the Eastern half of the country, or no IMF money. The call came from Jackson Hole when the IMF. was meeting there.
The IMF is still shoveling money down the Ukraine rathole even though it in no way qualifies for it.
You guys may wonder why former supporter of George W Bush, I am sure you can go back and read my posts, has become so cynical, Epstein is just one more piece of evidence to fall into place that my complete cynicism is fully justified.

Have you searched for yourself?
Althouse is in the files.
Yeah, it's not the same Althouse.
The importance and power of Watergate in the 70's is a clear indicator of how far our nation has fallen, where a similar scandal to that now would last a few days at best, and would never affect anyone in power. It got progressively worse though Clinton, Obama, and Biden. Clinton played at the edges, Obama seriously violated the law regularly, and Biden was completely lawless. That's why there is something called MAGA. We were better once.
bagoh, most sober analyses conclude that there was nothing unusual about Watergate, the crime--it happened all the time in politics. What changed was the attitude of the public, which no longer held institutions in high esteem and was no longer willing to look the other way. That's a good thing.
I have no idea what you're getting at by throwing MAGA in there. I don't see the relevance other than that you suffer from TDS and therefore everything is about Trump. Somehow.
Sorry, never mind the last paragraph. This was one of those "I realized my mistake at the same moment I hit reply and now there's nothing I can do about it except apologize" moments.
It was very small beer, as any of a dozen worthy commentators have noted
It was the first successful lawfare checkmate
And journalistic corruption
I don't think Watergate type corruption was unusual in the past. I'm saying it's small potatoes by todays standards in both severity and quantity. We had a sitting President spying on the President elect before and after being elected, just for one example. We had most of the intelligence community knowingly lying to turn an election, for another example. Unprecedented, I think.

Epstein's flight log has no records of Bill Clinton flying anywhere near Little Saint James island.
Hilarious that the Left will force Bannon to release an Epstein documentary so that they can come back six months later complaining that Bannon is getting rich off Epstein. Not as hilarious as Colbert sending Jasmine to the back of the bus but hilarious nonetheless.
Brundlefly doesnt read his own sources
gadfly - Not true. The flight logs were verified a longtime ago.
Yes he flew on Epsteins jet to his private island. Hillary even admitted it. said it was all for charity.
Is 'grape' a code-word for some sexual act? I've known high-school students who used it (in 2012, if that matters) to mean a form of sexual assault: a combination of 'grope' and 'rape'. If you "grab 'em by the pussy" and (unlike the women Trump was talking about) they don't "let you do it", but you do it anyway, forcibly, that's 'grape'. Would that definition fit the references in the Epstein e-mails? I don't know, but interested people might want to check it out.
gadfly = explain the Epstein island bill clinton hot tub photo
P.S. The high-school students used 'grape' mostly as a joke, a perfectly clean word that no teacher could object to that they were slyly using in a really dirty way. And I don't mean to imply that only women could be 'graped'. Grabbing a man's private parts without his permission or approval would also constitute 'grape'.
Robin Williams had a tasteless joke in which grape is a contraction of gang rape, because there was a bunch of em. CC, JSM
That's cute Greg. You think the Trump administration has any say in the contents of the Epstein limited hangout
The fallout from the Epstein files has only begun and it's not going away. No liar, no war, can stop it now.
The commenters at ZeroHedge invented a new meaning for "joggers" to get around censorship. I suspect this is why the comments section is "unavailable" for many politics and crime topics.
If shrimps are small living things, and if jerky is dried meat, and if Epstein had many barrels of acid at his desert ranch, was he inspiration for Breaking Bad?
"The fallout from the Epstein files has only begun and it's not going away. No liar, no war, can stop it now."
What a clown you are, Bich. This document dump was the death of the Epstein story.
“I'm old enough to remember way back when THE EPSTEIN FILES!!! were going to be all about TRUMP!!!”
“Trump himself called it a Democrat hoax.”
It appears that this is blowing up in the Dems’ faces. Epstein in was a loyal (ethnic Jewish) Dem, and apparently spent most of his time corrupting them. Trump apparently was one of the first to have taken his suspicions to the authorities - some 20 years ago(2006). He was apparently the Dog That Didn’t Bark, that Epstein was searching for.
Jaq: Be careful whose information that you cite. The Hill had to fire Trump's buddy, John Solomon, for telling fibs and Solomon wrote false tales about the so-called Biden -Ukraine conspiracy.

Donald Trump has now been President for more than 400 days. In that time, he has passed less legislation than any modern president. He has only two legislative achievements of note: a giant, budget-busting tax cut for the wealthiest Americans, paid for by cutting health care and food assistance for the poor, and the bill to release the Epstein Files, which passed against Trump’s strenuous objections.
Trump and the Republicans are looking to pass another major bill. You’d assume it would have something to do with lowering prices or improving an economy that three-quarters of voters rate negatively. But the GOP has decided to spend its limited time and dwindling capital on the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship to register to vote, to address the entirely fictional problem of non-citizens voting. ~ Dan Pfeiffer

Click on my response and the article shows. The hot tub photo was taken in a hotel somewhere other than Epstein's island which is what you claimed. The pilot's logs say otherwise. Clinton admits to flying aboard the airplane, but only on trips involving charitable activities.

I waded through most of the flight logs. At one time or another just about everybody famous flew on that airplane. 99.8% of the places it flew were not the island. 99.8% of the people that flew on it did not wing up on the island.
Do you think Epstein had a guest book?
