(1,099 posts)27. Perhaps you could provide an article backing your claim that LEO's mentioned people other than
Epstein and/or Maxwell being in explicit videos with Epstein's victims, since you are the one making the assertion? I tried, and didn't find any. I also scanned his 2019 indictment, and it's only about his own abuse of minor girls. Similarly, so was Maxwell's prosecution.
Besides googling, I also asked ChatGPT this question: "In NYC on July 6, 2019 evidence was removed from Epstein's homes including explicit photos and videos. Did any person in authority claim at the time that there were explicit videos of people other than Epstein and/or Maxwell engaging in sex acts with any of Epstein's alleged victims?"
Summary:
No, there was no official claim in 2019 by law enforcement or prosecutors that the explicit videos found in Epsteins home showed other individuals (besides Epstein or Maxwell) engaging in sex acts with alleged victims.

Then I asked if there's anything more casual, like LEO offhandedly claiming such a thing to a reporter that day or shortly after.
There have been no verified reports of law enforcement officers, investigators, or other officials on the scene in July 2019 casually telling reporters that the seized videos specifically showed other people (besides Epstein or Maxwell) engaging in sex acts with alleged victims.
As I've been saying, many people's beliefs re: the evidence of a child prostitution ring to the rich and powerful is not as strong as they may recall.

The Biden DoJ, headed by Garland, threw everything they had at Maxwell in the federal case

She was convicted of trafficking one girl to Epstein, and molesting a bunch of others.

Nope. She'll either threaten to talk and get out, or be killed in jail or when she's out'.

I am not saying anyone else is saying that Biden's DoJ failed, or was part of a conspiracy

Bottom-line, the evidence that there was a vast and far reaching conspiracy involving dozes of girls being trafficked

Exactly. Everyone assumes Epstein was sharing his perversions with his friends

I wrote plenty more in this thread if you care to glean my point, it's well spelled out, and no that's not it
