A new investigation examining emails sent between federal investigators and prosecutors has raised fresh doubts over the Department of Justice’s claim that it has released the full cache of Jeffrey Epstein files, suggesting the material made public amounts to just 2% of the data gathered by federal agents.

Channel 4 News reported that internal emails seen by its journalists show federal investigators expected to process between 20 and 40 terabytes of data seized from Epstein’s properties, including his Florida mansion, New York townhouse, and private island.

The broadcaster added that emails between investigators discussed the data “totaling” up to 50 terabytes from the “earliest stages” in June 2020.

In another internal email from 2025, the report continued, officials said that they were “looking at approximately 14.6 terabytes of archived data.”

    Wealth privilege won’t end until legal disprivilege ends. You need a legal system that isn’t susceptible to discrimination based on wealth, race, or any other factor. Especially not any other factor, because wealth transfers to whatever incentives it’s needed to take form in. It should be incentivized by cultural virtues, ensuring the government heeds the public’s beliefs on right and wrong doing.

    A coop-based executive branch might be worth your consideration. But, that sounds like a state-tolerated militia (in a way). Perhaps, more precisely, it should be a coop-based executive-executor branch. Effectively, a group of people motivated by civil virtues who spend time investigating and prosecuting actors in the government’s executive branch for the crime of discrimination, bias, bigotry, … can this be a path forward?

    Again, it would need be a coop. It must have the interest of the public, in contrast to the interest of the government, in mind. You will and should expect to see stories about them causing trouble for the government—the government shouldn’t like them. But the government should somehow be forced to tolerate them, even work with them in cases where the government would likely wish not to.
