In the summer of 2019, the FBI rang the doorbell of Jeffrey Epstein's 40-room, eight-story townhouse in Manhattan. And it was never exactly clear why they bothered to ring the doorbell, given that they were looking for sensitive evidence that could easily be destroyed. But that's what they did. And then when no one answered, agents forced entry.
And once they were inside, they found a safe that they cut open with a saw. So they came prepared. And ultimately, agents discovered several hard drives and CDs in the residence, both inside and outside the safe. And additionally, they found numerous black binders with mysterious white labels. And photos of the raid have been available for some time. You're seeing some of them right now.

Chapter 2: Why did the Epstein files release turn out to be a disaster?
So Rick Rowling went from very funny when it first began to not funny anymore because it had been done too many times. And it was not funny for like a good 10 years. But recently it's funny again because now it's been done so many times that it's once again funny. That's the way it goes. So my point is that I have nothing in principle against trolling and against rickrolling, quite the opposite.
But the Epstein files are not a time for that, especially not from government officials. We should remember that when we talk about the Epstein files, we are talking about records of the systematic rape and abuse of minors. I mean, that's what the Epstein files are, if we ever actually see them. So the people running this account
you know, to include perhaps some elected Republicans, thought that files related to child abuse presented a great opportunity for a fun, lighthearted prank. And it went over about as well as you would expect.
I mean, if you're not on X and you didn't see the backlash, just imagine in your mind how you think most people would respond where an official government social media account makes a joke about the mass rape of minors. Like, exactly what you're imagining is what happened. And the tweet was eventually deleted, though nobody has been held accountable. Nobody's apologized for it.
And we haven't been told who was responsible for that tweet. As I said, it's very obvious, obvious to everyone except people running this account apparently, that trolling the American people over the Epstein files is wildly inappropriate. It is a truly stunning display of poor judgment. That much is very clear. I don't think I need to explain that point any further.
The American people want to actually see the files. We deserve to see them. The victims and their families most of all deserve for this information to be out there and for Epstein's pervert pals to be exposed and held accountable. We don't deserve to be trolled over this. I love trolling, but I also believe in trolling only those who deserve to be trolled.
And the people demanding to see the Epstein files don't deserve to be trolled for that. I mean, that's very clear. But I want to make a broader point because to me, this story is part of a larger trend. And I don't mean a larger trend of government officials rickrolling the public. It's not about rickrolling specifically. I'm talking about politicians who use ghetto slang.
Lawmakers challenging their colleagues to step outside during committee hearings, which happened recently. Political candidates posting thirst trap photos and on and on and on. It's the larger trend of just a general lack of seriousness by our political leaders. We need seriousness from the people running our country. We need you to be serious people. Now, Trump himself is a unique case.
You know, trolling and joking has been his style from the very beginning. It's part of what makes him effective. But all the rest of these people, the rest of our government officials, elected and unelected, they're not Trump. And they should not try to act like Trump. let Trump be Trump, but we won't let the rest of you be Trump because you're not Trump.
