Yesterday the Department of Justice (DOJ) released a preliminary binder of information on the Epstein crime files. Some 15 conservative news internet influencers were invited to the White House and emerged with binders labeled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1” given to them by Attorney General Pam Bondi who has vowed to release information held by the Justice Department about the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
One of those conservative news influencers to be invited to the White House yesterday was podcaster Liz Wheeler. Wheeler posted thereafter:
“Let me make this very clear:
The binders were not given to us at the White House under any pretense that they contained damning Epstein information.
AG Bondi was pissed. Because the deep state swamp creatures LIED to her & gave her the files in the binder, pretending the contents—yes, a nothing burger—were the complete Epstein documents.
Why aren’t you pissed that the SDNY defied President Trump & AG Bondi & attempted to subvert your votes?
Why aren’t you outraged that FBI swamp traitors tried to hide evidence of what we know are heinous crimes & the powerful people implicated in those crimes?
Why aren’t you screaming for the SDNY to give those files to Bondi, for Bondi to release them, and for Kash to absolutely level the SDNY?”
Wheeler was trying to make it clear to everyone that for anybody to be angry with A.G. Bondi or FBI Director Patel yesterday was anger misplaced from where it rightfully belongs.
Elon Musk posted a thoughtful comment to social media about the situation A.G. Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel are facing now:
“Imagine if you were suddenly appointed AG or head of the FBI.
You were just thrown on a ship with a hostile crew.
Until you appoint some new crew members and figure out the ropes, you can’t steer the ship effectively. It’s literally impossible.”
The binders contained some 341 pages of Epstein related information which was also posted to the DOJ website for public review. Two hundred and thirty-six pages were the flight logs of the Lolita Express jet owned by Epstein, 95 pages included redacted contact information, 7 pages featured a masseuse list believed to contain the names of child minor victims and three more pages were simply listed as evidence.
FBI Director Patel is in agreement with A.G. Bondi the Epstein files must be released in total, citing a push toward transparency in the FBI.
“There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued. If there are gaps, we will find them,” said Patel.
“If records have been hidden, we will uncover them. And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people as it should be,” he said.
In the binders released to the influencers Bondi shared a letter to Patel urging him to come forward with additional documents, and audio and video recordings pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein.
“There will be no withholdings or limitations to my or your access,” she wrote.
Podcaster Tim Pool was one of many who made a post to “X” (formerly Twitter) showing the letter of A.G. Pam Bondi to the FBI.

“The first phase of files released today sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network and begins to provide the public with long overdue accountability,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement.
FBI Director Kash Patel was given a Friday 8:00 a.m. ET deadline to submit all materials related to Epstein’s crime ring.

CONCLUSION:
I deeply resent the attacks on both Pam Bondi and Kash Patel and was wondering if some of these attacks were not just sour grapes. Some influencers were invited while many more were not.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced during her first press conference that the White House Press Corps would be undergoing changes whereby more opportunities would be afforded to independent journalists. I am sure the legacy media hated this in light of the fact when Barack Obama was in office I learned an interesting little factoid that there were about 75 members of the White House Press Corps and every single one of them was a registered Democrat.
Most Americans will welcome this change in the interest of both fairness and truthfulness. In 2012 president Obama signed H.R. 4310 effectively repealing the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948. His doing so effectively allowed the legacy media to spread propaganda as true news. President Trump is putting a stop to that and it is about time.
One recent social media post illustrates the anger the public holds for both Obama who started this and the members of the legacy media who perpetuate it today.
“Propagandist AP sued Trump admin officials for barring its hacks from events after they refused to call Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of America.” – Dr. Vincent Sativa
The very famous politician and podcaster Nick J. Freitas offered his thoughts on what transpired yesterday at the White House from his point of view:
“So an interesting thing happened on the internet today”
Freitas joined the U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets) and served two tours in Iraq before an honorable discharge in 2009. Today, Freitas is an American politician and conservative social media influencer. He has been a Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates since 2016. He unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in 2018.
Freitas is beloved among many logical thinking conservative Americans for his thoughtful, witty, sarcastic, realistic, approach to situations that leave liberal Democrats speechless. Here is an example:
“Dear Leftists,
If your version of ‘freedom’ is defined by the government stealing from your neighbor to provide you with (free) stuff, so you can avoid the responsibilities of adulthood, you’re the oppressor.”
People need to stop attacking A.G. Pam Bondi and F.B.I. Director Kash Patel. They are not the problem here and they are doing the best they can. They want to do the right thing in accordance with the will and the word of President Donald J. Trump.
The problem is they are being stonewalled by unknown members of the Deep State Swamp from within.
