Yeah I was a bit ho hum, boring about the Epstein files before the releases but the stuff so far has proved so interesting that you can't help being curious about the ~3m pages remaining unreleased in spite of congress ordering it.

A lot of the stuck fingers in stuff is anonymous allegations sent in by unknown people so may be rubbish - time will tell maybe.

The Russian kompromat allegations sound plausible though.

Honestly you're underselling it.

The Grijalvo stuff is revelatory, especially when you think through the ramifications (of how the story was/is covered, of the official denials, of the recent video revelations and missing footage, etc).

And there's a lot more. The Mandelson stuff is pretty big news that has created a lot of impact already. The banker connections are super intriguing and under-reported. The Mexican Ambassador story seems pretty easy to confirm/deny, were any one actually trying.

And then there's the more out there allegations which uncannily line up with known events - like the story from Epstein's associate's son alleging that he rammed a tent pole up you-know-who's you-know-where.

And the fact that so much of this was known and not acted upon in any discernible way for so long says so, so much.
