In reply to the discussion: JUST IN: Judge Unseals Epstein Grand Jury Documents [View all]moniss
(8,538 posts)if the lawyers like Blanche are figuring out a timeline for how to stall things out the longest and get them just past the mid-terms if they can. I completely agree with your assessment that a lot of people know what's in the files. It may be that only a few have the entire picture and some others have varying degrees of knowledge. What they can't control and perhaps didn't figure on was the estate bringing out all of this stuff that they have. They can't control the release of that and the "birthday card" is a good example of them getting smacked and being unprepared.
I think the estate has read the handwriting on the wall and knows it is better to just cooperate and get all of this out there rather than being seen as trying to hold back on things. The intelligence agencies in other countries must have info that we haven't seen given the international nature of Epstein. I see that the investigators in the US Virgin Islands have also now started handing over materials.
Obviously some people have been scared to come right out publicly and say what they know but as more comes out from Congress and things begin to come from the grand jury and the FBI/Treasury we may see a few brave souls do more than speak "off the record" with reporters.
So it looks to be that the dam has broken, or at least badly leaking already, and the steady drip we've been getting is turning into a stream and might become a gusher. He is now much like a rat in a room and getting deeper into the corner. His increased lashing out at reporters and on social media is indicative of feeling pressure and increased desperation. It must be pure hell to be a low level staffer in the White House right now and hearing the outbursts etc.
A week or so ago when I posted about his outbursts at reporters showed him on video closer to losing it than ever seen before by the public a person reminded me about the story of how he lost it on that Secret Service driver on January 6th and lunged at him over the seat. That's the kind of "losing it" I expect we'll see more of. Guys like him are wound weird anyway and I've unfortunately been around a few who were a "controlled act" under most circumstances but if something really was hitting them hard they could all of a sudden snap. I've seen guys suddenly snap and grab a hammer and start beating the hell out of machine that pissed them off. Blind rage, screaming at the machine and beating it at length. The kinds of guys who are all cool and smiles when in public or around neighbors but the second they go in their house and close the door it's like a light switch turning on and then this angry raging bully comes out and goes after the wife and kids. I knew guys that were in marriages where it was the wife who was like that.
