The next possible question about the Epstein files / Chain of custody/ Who were the people involved

That's how the integrity of the files was protected. There may be other methods involved.

Would like to know a lot more about that. How does the public know they weren't tampered with?

Chain of custody is only as good as the people in it. There's probably some sort of computer file monitoring, and who monitors that.

I'm still expecting gaps in email conversations, and possible things like that.

Chain of custody always comes down to documentation and who handled the material at each step. If anything gets released publicly, there should be a paper trail showing how the files were stored, accessed, and verified. Without that, it’s hard for anyone on the outside to judge integrity.

Well, I want to know everything about this and who was involved. Trump and his minions filled offices with loyalists, some who will just ignore wrongdoing if not do it themselves.

will know if the files are doctored. The problem is they will get death threats if they come forward.

I wondered if it was feasible or legal for a large group of victims to band together and release a summary of what they went through without being specific about who was involved? In other words, this is what happened to victim 1, this is what happened to victim 2, get my point?

Is that they will be immediately sued into submission. Kind of like TSF does all the time.
