2026/01/21

In his interview with the DOJ Office of the Inspector General, Alex Acosta repeatedly framed the 2007–2008 Epstein non-prosecution agreement as a constrained, pragmatic decision made under pressure rather than a deliberate act of favoritism. He told inspectors that Epstein’s defense team, stacked with politically connected and aggressive lawyers, created what he described as a credible threat of a federal indictment collapse if prosecutors pushed too hard. Acosta emphasized that his office believed

2026/01/21

A brand-new CNN/SSRS poll shows overwhelming public dissatisfaction with how the Justice Department under the Trump administration has handled the release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Only 6% of Americans say they’re satisfied with the amount of information released so far — even though Congress passed a law in late 2025 requiring the DOJ to disclose all unclassified Epstein-related files. The data reveal that nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the government is

When Mockery Replaces Justice: Scott Jennings and the...

The True Crime Tapes ·

2026/01/21

Scott Jennings’ remark that people shouldn’t get their “knickers twisted” over Jeffrey Epstein was a textbook example of elite minimization dressed up as pundit smugness. By framing outrage over Epstein as emotional overreaction, Jennings reduced an industrial-scale sex-trafficking operation—one protected by wealth, power, and institutional failure—into a nuisance topic people should simply move past. His comment treated Epstein not as the epicenter of a still-unresolved criminal network, but as an

2026/01/21

Outrage over Ghislaine Maxwell’s sudden transfer continues to intensify as the Department of Justice refuses to provide even the most basic explanations about why she was moved, who authorized it, and under what security or administrative rationale. For critics, the anger isn’t just about the transfer itself — it’s about the pattern it fits into. Maxwell is not a routine federal inmate; she is the sole convicted conspirator tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network, a case already marred by

As workers continue preparing Marsh Farm on King Charles’s Sandringham estate for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s impending relocation, a pest control van from Command Pest Control was recently spotted at the property — a sign that staff are dealing with the kinds of rodents and other critters that often invade old country homes, especially in winter when rats and mice seek warmth indoors. Command Pest Control, which holds a Royal Warrant, specializes in removing unwanted pests like rats, mice,

The Epstein Fade-Out: GOP Leaders Decide It’s Time to...

The True Crime Tapes ·

2026/01/21

Across both chambers, GOP senators and House members have largely treated the Epstein scandal as a closed chapter, not because the facts are settled, but because pursuing them is politically inconvenient. Once the headlines faded and the DOJ began slow-walking disclosures, Republicans who once thundered about elite corruption abruptly lost their voices. There has been no sustained push for enforcement of transparency laws, no coordinated effort to compel document production, and no real appetite to

2026/01/20

The Department of Justice has treated the Epstein transparency law like a suggestion, not a mandate, openly slow-walking disclosures, drip-feeding partial releases, and hiding behind bureaucratic excuses while insisting it is somehow in “substantial compliance.” What makes this moment especially brazen is that the law was designed specifically to prevent exactly this kind of stonewalling—years of selective secrecy justified by vague claims of privacy, process, or administrative burden.

In its letter to Judge Paul Engelmayer, the Department of Justice argued aggressively against the appointment of a special master, framing the request as unnecessary, disruptive, and legally unjustified. DOJ claimed it was already fulfilling its obligations to review, process, and release Epstein-related materials in accordance with court orders, established procedures, and internal safeguards. The department leaned heavily on institutional deference, insisting that prosecutorial discretion and
