here's another few to decode, https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA01804... https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA007755... https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA004349... and than this one judging by the name of the file (hanna something) and content of the email: "Here is my girl, sweet sparkling Hanna=E2=80=A6! I am sure she is on Skype " maybe more sinister (so be…

this one has a better font, might be a simple copy&paste job

I've checked for copy and paste, there's so many character flaws, their OCR must have sucked really bad, I may try with deepseekOCR or something. I mean the database would probably more searchable if someone ran every file through a better OCR.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

So it was a public event attended by 450 people: https://www.mountsinai.org/about/newsroom/2012/dubin-breast-... https://www.businessinsider.com/dubin-breast-center-benefit-... Even names match up, but oddly the date is different.

Your links are for the inaugural (first) ball in December 2011; OP's text referred to a second annual ball in December 2012.

You are right my first is incorrect but the second does seem to be from 2012.

As noted above: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-119publ38/pdf/PLAW-... : the Attorney General was to have produced the entirety of the Epstein files, with very narrowly-enumerated redactions, in December. She has not done so. Furthermore, there are numerous allegations that the documents that have been released contain CSAM, which (referencing the PDF above) may fall afoul of 18 U.S.C. 2252–2252A. In additio…

Allegations aren't evidence. Has the Administration actually been found guilty of violating the law - if that is even possible.

Are you expecting the administration to prosecute itself?

Every second of my political consciousness in the United States has been acutely tinged with the awareness that a bunch of people, across most of the political spectrum live in a constant state of denial. Denial of personal responsibility or culpability. Denial of cognitive dissonance. Denial of any distinct, self-informed morals. Denial of anything but a fear of others. Denial of anything that makes them fearful or…

I will certainly feel less confident ridiculing conspiracy theories. I’d never believe Bill Gates would secretly slip antibiotics into his wife’s cocktail to treat an STI he got from a Russian prostitute on convicted pedophile estate. But here we are.

On one hand, the DOJ gets shit because it was taking too long to produce the documents, and then on another, they get shit because there are mistakes in the redacting because there are 3 million pages of documents.

What they are redacting is pretty questionable though. Entire pages being suspiciously redacted with no explanation (which they are supposed to provide). This is just my opinion, but I think it's pretty hard to defend them as making an honest and best effort here. Remember they all lied about and changed their story on the Epstein "files" several times now (by all I mean Bondi, Patel, Bongino, and Trump). It's really…

My favorite is that sometimes they redact the word "don't". Not only does it totally change the meaning of whatever sentence it's in, the conspiracy theory is that they had a Big Dumb Regex for redacting /Don\W+T/i to remove Trump references

I wish I could believe in more conspiracy theories. At least then I might believe there was some sort of master plan, that some individual or group had some image of a better world (to them) and that the world was being steered somewhere.

Unfortunately no, it just seems to be greed, incompetence, and incompetent greed. At least when a tank drives over a protestor somebody gets to be on the side of the tank. When the bus goes off a cliff because the driver sold the steering wheel everybody dies.

You can use the justice.gov search box to find several different copies of that same email. The copy linked in the post: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA004004... Three more copies: https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA02153... https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA02154... https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA02154... Perhaps having several d…

Also, I found a different base64 encoding with a different font here:

https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA007755...

This doesn't solve the "1 & l" problem for the pdf you are looking at, but it could be useful anyway.
