'Full panic mode': New report confirms Trump-related 'Epstein cover-up at FBI'

Reports that federal workers were tasked with reviewing Jeffrey Epstein files to flag any mention of Donald Trump are indeed true, according to a legal expert on Sunday.

Legal analyst Allison Gill, better known as Mueller, She Wrote, did a little investigating of her own after it was reported that FBI agents were instructed to "flag" any mention of Donald Trump in the Jeffrey Epstein files.




"When I saw that over one thousand people had been put to work reviewing the Epstein files, I put a call out on my BlueSky account," the legal expert said as she explained her request for anonymous details from members of the FBI who were tasked with the assignment.


She adds, "In the 24 hours since, I’ve received several messages, including from a former analyst that was assigned to review the files, and a few things stood out to me."

According to Gill, "First, approximately 1,000 personnel in the Information Management Division (IMD) and the FBI New York Field Office were assigned to this task, confirming the whistleblower account made to Senator Durbin’s office. I can also confirm that a log exists tracking the mentions of Donald Trump in the files, and that there were approximately 100,000 files containing roughly 300,000 pages. Individual analysts were told to flag mentions of Trump by document and page number by logging them in an Excel spreadsheet, then they’d hand in their spreadsheet at the end of their (sometimes 24 or even 48-hour) shift. But it’s important to note that the agents were not told to flag Trump until later in a process that began mid-March



Going further, she reports, "The process of reviewing the Epstein and Maxwell files was chaotic, and the orders were constantly changing - sometimes daily."

"Regarding the ever-changing nature of the instructions, which one source described as 'full panic mode,' there were at least four different review instructions," she wrote on Sunday.

She went on to describe what could be a major vulnerability in the federal operation.

"One person I spoke to on the condition of anonymity said that many agents spent more time waiting for new instructions than they did processing files. But here’s what caught my attention: the files were stored on a shared drive that anyone in the division could access. Normally, access is only granted to those working on a project, but because of the hurried nature of the exercise, the usual permission restrictions were not in place," according to the expert. "Additionally, the internal SharePoint site the bureau ended up using to distribute the files toward the end did not have the usual restricted permissions. This left the Epstein and Maxwell files open to viewing by a much larger group of people than previously thought."



Because of video training programs, she noted, "That means that video exists of trainers explaining the process of flagging instances of Donald Trump appearing in the files, and those videos went out on unclassified networks within the bureau."

"It’s also of note that the trainers toward the end were folks from the Department of Justice, and not the FBI," she said. "As far as content, there was one confirmed mention of Donald Trump in the files reviewed by an analyst who again spoke on the condition of anonymity. Beyond that, there were other instances of Trump appearing in the files, but the number of times and to what extent is unknown."

She added:

"But the log exists."

Incredible. I can hardly wait for the Trumpanzee Flying Monkey Squad to zoom in and explain how this is all fake news.

The cover-up is always the killer.

 

[Hawkeye10]

I would be pretty shocked if anything of importance about this Wall Street Mafia program is still at CIA/FBI.....surely the last of it was removed by the first of the year given that Trump cant be trusted to do as he is told, in spite of my current sig.

 

[QP!]

And the final part of this will be Trump giving Maxwell a pardon in his last days in office saying 'this was all Clinton and Obama hoax'.

the 6 years Maxwell would have served being the best sweetheart deal she could have ever imagined for just keeping her mouth shut during all her proceedings.

It would appear that so far the only "defense" is that drunken mini-Trump Stonehead posting the same boring meme, as he'd apparently used up all his words for the day.

She'd have to give up her video tapes of Pedo Don raping girls to buy a pardon.

I am not leaning towards Trump being involved at that level and think he was more of 'enabler and groomer' for Epstein, in many of their encounters.

I do not think Trump did so out of evil intent but more to help his BFF out who 'likes them young' without Trump spending too much time thinking about the ethics of it.

That said this is all just my impression and a meaningless guess.

I have no doubt Pedo Don participated in his buddy's sex parties. Trump has a long history of bragging about his sexual conquests and satisfying his lascivious desires with young women.

ya i agree with all of that.

And think there are many men who would go to "parties" like Epsteins or Playboy mansion who would get involved with young but legal women while noticing some other men might be engaging with what they think is young 'and not legal' women and turn a blind eye to it or even still party with them while refusing to partake.

But this is not a hill for me to die on as i have nothing but my belief on this and you have yours which is also valid to have given what we have seen and heard from him.

Hope she made a deal whereby if she has an "accident" while in custody, the tapes get released.

Trump often signals were he is going years in advance. He is the worst poker player ever in that regard.

When it came to J6 criminals, even those who beat police many of us did not want to believe Trump would pardon them all despite him signaling it for years prior. His labeling J6 a Democrat Hoax was the biggest tell as that is his go to way of just saying the whole thing is fake and then undoing it.

People need to take note now that he is doing the same thing around Epstein and saying the entire thing is a Dem Hoax. It is early days but if he continues and deepens that rhetoric we should not be surprised if in the dying days of his presidency, he ends up giving Ghislaine Maxwell a full pardon.

Just like Paul Manafort and others who knew 'shutting up and accepting the jail term' was the best path to a Trump pardon and much better than any deal they would have got testifying against Trump in a guilty deal, we will learn if Ghislaine is on the same path.

We will see if this is yet another 'Tell' from Trump we can only best confirm in hindsight.

 

[Althea]

Incredible. I can hardly wait for the Trumpanzee Flying Monkey Squad to zoom in and explain how this is all fake news.

This article is extremely confusing. 1000 agents were tasked with scouring files to flag any mention of trump. But the ever changing parameters didn't include flagging trump until March.

So what the hell were they scouring?

In 300,000 pages there is one 'confirmed' mention of trump, but there are probably others.

The story 'confirms' the claim of a whistleblower to Durbin.

Unless I'm missing something, this seems more like a MAGA expose' than a damning story on trump?

It shows that Biden was 'out to get' trump, but we heard absolutely nothing about any proof in an election year?

For a decade now it is common knowledge that at least two women filed suit against trump for being raped when they were children. In both cases the charges were dropped after these women feared for their lives.

Great observation. Every time I get indignant over the latest Trump stupidity, Mr. Owl says I shouldn't be surprised because he always tells us what he's going to do.

Nothing he does from here on out should surprise us. After all, SCOTUS pretty much gave him blanket immunity, plus he can't run again so really doesn't care what the MAGATs think any more. He'll placate them to keep the elected (R)s in line, but otherwise -- like everyone else in his life -- they are expendable.

Now he's weaponizing the DOJ in order to distract them from his latest mess and point at Obama as if anything will come of that. You've probably noticed our Reichwing posters howling and capering in delight about that nonsense?
