Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a batch of 68 photos obtained from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, one day before the deadline for the Trump administration to release a much larger group of Epstein files.

The photos come from a trove of 95,000 images the committee received last week, the Democrats said. The release includes images of lines from the novel “Lolita” written on a person’s body; various travel documents; a screenshot of text messages about an 18-year-old from Russia and more. The photos can be accessed here.

The Democrats released several dozen photos last week, showing various high-profile figures including President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Woody Allen, Gates and others. Neither batch of photos implicates any of those pictured in Epstein’s crimes.

    Chomsky said that, at the time of his meetings with Epstein, “what was known about Jeffrey Epstein was that he had been convicted of a crime and had served his sentence. According to U.S. laws and norms, that yields a clean slate.”

    that kinda says all it needs to right there

      Right? *He plead guilty to prostituting minors. *

      He was a convicted sex offender. The literal opposite of a clean slate. They put everyone who does it on a dirty slate, permanently.

      Ha. Try getting a job with a felony on your record, asshole.

      He’s pretending to not know anything because he doesn’t want to “commit suicide” in prison if the billionaire pedos think he’s gonna testify against them.
