A place here on Lemmy to keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down (though probably not his regime).
Only rule is to add [TW] in front of your post title if you suspect that a survivor of sexual abuse might find your post triggering.
That and keep it civil and amicable.

There is one challenge here, emails are really easily spoofable. They should release all the header information of these emails, so that they could be verified. FBI probably have them, but they won't release those because they would show that Don is a pedo.
Well, the only one you have to spoof to incriminate is already redacted, so there's not really a 'spoof' concern to worry about unless that is unredacted.
Receiving such an email doesn't have to be a spoof. See typical spam folder of anyone for all sorts of crazy implications about the recipient.
However, the date is more reliable and back in 2014, nearly no one would be motivated to fake that sort of email toward Epstein. That was before his whole situation was popularly known. The people aware of it were largely in on it that early on.
Epstein was first arrested 2006 and convicted on 2008, anyone association with him after that KNEW him being a sex offender.
