Thank you for all of your support. The $20 million in today’s Epstein section came from an eight-page SEC filing that ran six weeks before the Senate report—and nobody put the two together. We can spend the day digging like that because we’re not spending it selling advertisers’ products. If you want to do more, you can gift a subscription to someone who needs it, or upgrade to a Founding Member to help us continue our investigations into Epstein and Trump. What Four Years In Epstein’s Bank Records Revealed Three banks, four years of records, and 21 straight losses for the DOJ. Plus a millionaire who couldn’t delete one sentence off a ballot.

They Tried To Take The Warning Off The Ballot A millionaire went to court this summer to throw twenty-one words off Washington’s November ballot. On Friday, a judge told him no. Those twenty-one words sit right under a question asking voters if they should repeal the state’s tax on people making over a million dollars a year. All those words do is tell voters what the repeal costs: money for public schools, colleges, and health care. He didn’t want them there. Neither did an activist who sued to kill Washington’s law that requires a written disclosure on the ballot if any proposal would cut revenue. Thurston County Judge Chris Lanese rejected both cases from the bench. Repealing the millionaires’ tax would cost the state $11.4 billion over five years, money already set aside for school meals, child care, and early learning. People deserve to know what it would do. A man with a fortune tried to keep five million voters from learning that. He failed. Every one of them will read it before they vote. They’ve Won Zero For a year the DOJ has demanded states and DC hand over their voter files. Not just publicly available data—driver’s license and Social Security numbers for every voter in the country. They claim that they’re cleaning up the rolls, but their own emails say differently. One day before formal demand letters were sent out, a senior DOJ official put the actual plan in writing—matching the files with immigration records. The latest loss came on Thursday when federal Judge Randolph Moss threw out the DOJ’s demand for DC’s voter file. The DOJ was trying to use a 1960 civil rights law to grab the data, even though it was written to stop Southern election officials from destroying Black voter registration forms. The law protects only what voters fill out, not the lists election offices hold. Thirty-one lawsuits so far. Not one win. What Perfect Timing In January of this year, SoftBank wired $50 million to the Trump library account. Just eight weeks later the regime gave the company 3,700 acres of federal land in Ohio, where they plan to build what could become the largest data center in the world. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal, along with Rep. Melanie Stansbury, demanded answers from SoftBank about the timing. They wanted to know who approved the donation, if anyone discussed it with Trump or his associates, and if the company asked for anything in return. SoftBank didn’t respond, but their outside counsel did. In a two-page response they somehow found room to mention masks they donated during the pandemic, and a research grant at Carnegie Mellon. Buried in the document they confirmed the $50 million. But they didn’t answer any of the questions. Another reason why Democrats winning the majority is so important is to get these investigations moving full speed ahead. With subpoena power. November is coming. Following The Money: Epstein’s Bank Ties JPMorgan decided to keep Jeffrey Epstein on as a client until around 2013. Compliance officers at the bank had been pushing to throw him out since 2010. They were overruled—more than once—by executives. That’s all detailed in a 67-page Senate report from Sen. Ron Wyden, along with the court filings and bank records we dug into underneath it all. When JPMorgan finally cut his accounts off, the bank waited six years before telling the Treasury Department. Weeks after his arrest, the bank flagged 4,725 wire transfers worth $1.08 billion. Running the division that held onto him was Mary Erdoes, who admitted under oath the bank knew as early as 2006 that Epstein was accused of sick crimes. Erdoes still works there. In June, JPMorgan handed her $20 million in stock to keep her there for at least three more years. That was six weeks before the Senate report came out. JPMorgan called the report false. Sen. Wyden says it’s a roadmap for prosecutors. Nobody made Wyden’s team stay on the money trail, but they did. That’s the job here too. We investigate what others won’t, and then we put our reports in front of millions daily. We organize pressure campaigns on Congress, where we’ve delivered more than 806,000 letters and made countless calls since November 2024. All while running one of the largest social media initiatives ever against Trump and his accomplices. We do it with no corporate influence—everything is funded by our community here.

That wasn’t an administrative oversight; it was a deliberate corporate choice. Wall Street needs real accountability, not just PR press releases. Executives need to be held personally accountable and legally liable for "choices" like this. Until they are, it will continue to be a purely financial decision of whether they can make more money from the illegal action than the projected penalties will cost. JJP MORGAN CHASE maintains a gaggle of attorneys to AVOID PROSECUTION!  There were previous numerous email posts and exchanges indicating that not only was JP MORGAN CHASE aware of EPSTEIN'S 'business activities,' but JP MORGAN CHASE employees may have participated in those services.  Why would JP MORGAN CHASE has participated in the SETTLEMENTS to the VICTIMS otherwise? Notice that there is also prosecution of JP MORGAN CHASE in the VIRGIN ISLANDS & settlements.  JP MORGAN CHASE also failed to address crimes committed by BERNIE MADOFF  Decades-long ties to Madoff cost JPMorgan $2.6 billion https://finance.yahoo.com/news/jpmorgan-pay-1-7-billion-settle-madoff-case-143443741--sector.html Little Saint James (from WIKIPEDIA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Saint_James) Also note that JP MORGAN CHASE is not the only bank that covered up EPSTEIN's crimes. TODD BLANCHE!  Greg Olear wrote an impressive post about TODD BLANCHE that's worth reading and saving!  Todd Blanche Is Already Historically Awful How Trump's pick to lead the Justice Department stacks up against the best and worst Attorneys General in U.S. history. Greg Olear excerpt:  Todd Blanche should not and must not be confirmed as Attorney General. He is grossly unfit and manifestly unworthy. His confirmation would be a death knell for the rule of law in the United States. Blanche still thinks he’s Donald Trump’s defense attorney. About his “boss,” he told the world, point blank, and unironically, “I love you, sir.” In his limited time as Acting AG, he has used the Justice Department as a vendetta machine, attempted to whitewash the nation’s history, and obstructed justice by withholding release of the Epstein Files. Not only that, but he’s an asshole of galactic proportions. His nomination is an abomination. The New York City Bar Association took the extreme step of writing a letter to the Chairman and Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, urging the Senate to reject his nomination. “Mr. Blanche has taken actions that we believe make him unfit to lead an ethical and independent department of justice that is essential to our nation’s democracy,” the City Bar writes. “Mr. Blanche’s record—particularly the actions he has undertaken as Deputy Attorney General and Acting Attorney General—conclusively demonstrates his lack of commitment to the integrity, professionalism and independence that the Senate should require and the American people should expect of the highest law enforcement official in the land.” https://gregolear.substack.com/p/todd-blanche-is-already-historically
