FBI 'Overtime' Bill: $850K To Bury Epstein Truths, Not Find Them?
The independent reports the FBI spent over $850,000 in March alone on 'overtime' to review and redact the Jeffrey Epstein files. This intensive labor coincided with attempts by the Trump administration, via attorney Jenna Ellis and then-Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, to halt the court-ordered public release. One might wonder if the six-figure overtime bill was for finding new evidence, or for
artfully constructing a veil of selective transparency? Considering the decade-long, conspicuous failures of various agencies to properly investigate Epstein, from the infamous 2008 sweetheart deal in Florida to his convenient un-suicide in a federal jail, the notion of the FBI suddenly 'working overtime' for the public good stretches credulity. The revolving door of power players, from
politicians to royalty, who frequented Epstein's island fortress were never adequately held to account. Now, the public release is framed as a struggle against those who would expose 'compromised' individuals, rather than a genuine effort to bring perpetrators to justice. How much overtime did the FBI spend before the public demanded accountability?
