Very strange place and it looked like much of it was underground. Who knows what they will find there and if we will be told what is there.
Earlier this year Byrne approached the DOJ and met with lawyers on April 5th and 30th. The first meeting was without counsel in Washington D.C. A source directly familiar with the interviews confirmed Byrne’s account of the meetings.

It may be that Barr and Trump are still trying to figure out who all of the conspirators are.
Byrne only went to Barr 4 months ago. The Epstein connection may not have been immediately apparent to them until Epstein winds up dead in a facility where suicides don't happen.
Before that Barr and Trump may have very well assumed this was just a human trafficking case.
It just seems odd to me that when you have a policy of never announcing or confirming an investigation (with the exception of Comey's shenanigans), Barr suddenly shows up on television claiming that the investigation will continue for the benefit of the victims.
And let's be honest, they wasted little time to raid the island of a dead man.
If you truly believe that the human trafficking issue was a back burner item, why is that now on the front burner?
I don't think this is theater, I think it's war.
Epstein exploits an obscure federal policy that lets private owners hide their movements from the public record, the manifests from hundreds of flights are available—and they clearly show the names of the celebrities, from Alan Dershowitz to Bill Clinton, linked to Epstein.
Finally, among the alleged coconspirators, there’s another immigrant: Adriana Ross (aka Adriana or Adriana Mucinska), a former model from Poland whom Epstein supposedly hired in 2002 to set up what the court documents refer to as “sex sessions” in Florida. It’s not clear whether Epstein and his recruiters first encountered Ross in the US or Poland, but, according to flight logs, Ross is one of the people in Epstein’s circle who flew most frequently with Bill Clinton. She also appeared by Epstein’s side in Manhattan, at a magazine launch party in 2005. Ross refused to answer questions about Epstein in 2010.

Maybe his lawyers released something to the feds upon Epstein’s death. Possibly the location to his blackmail evidence. Maybe he’s the type of guy that if he’s going down then everyone else is too.

If the Daily Beast report is true, then Acosta backed off the first Epstein investigation because he was told to and that Epstein was an intelligence asset.
Everyone who knows Epstein has basically told the same story. They were all introduced to him through intermediaries who insist they should meet the guy.
Basically would mean the Federal govt proper or by proxy of some faction of the intelligence community had no problem enabling trafficking as long as it kept providing them with intelligence (leverage against influential people or those in power).
How far would they go to bury that fact? Anybody really think a group of such a mind would have any moral qualms about killing Epstein or scores of others to bury that story? Between this sort of thing and the NSA hoovering up all electronic data, wouldn't the intelligence apparatus have the ability to leverage almost every individual in politics and media? Are any of the talking heads uttering their own words anymore, or is it all scripted?
This was exactly my fear about the NSA data collection -- not that I have anything interesting to them, but every politician, every judge, every seat of authority would be vulnerable to abuse/blackmail.
True? I don't know. The fact it's even plausible to me today is stomach-churning.

So yes, that's a reasonable view that even I shared until today.
But after understanding that Byrne is saying that the Russian collusion entrapment efforts were not just targeted against Trump, but Hillary Clinton as well, all of these stories can be interpreted differently now.
Epstein and the Russian collusion entrapment efforts were two parts of a larger whole.
Maybe using the term deep state creates some confusion, because it sounds like an organic bureaucratic effort at resistance. What I am now suggesting might be true is that there is indeed an organized cabal of people who represent a shadow government. This cabal has been operating for years. So prior to 2016, they were seeking ways to entrap any candidate who might win. This of course could be used later to exert control over the winner.
When we think about the Russian collusion story, we've been thinking about this in terms of the left vs right. But in light of Byrne's assertions, that wouldn't make sense anymore.
Parallel to all of that is the Jeffrey Epstein situation. Since the evidence seems to strongly suggest he was an intelligence asset and therefore essentially untouchable, it becomes very easy to see how these two things are really connected to a larger program controlled by the same source.

Since Epstein's trial wasn't scheduled to start until October 2020, the action of moving him to protective custody was smart. I hear he's now in Ramstein AFB Germany.

It is not immediately clear if they are looking for dead bodies, or what they are searching for in the water.

I believe you are saying that Russia plays both sides and there is a cabal above Russia and all countries that pulls the puppet strings to their desires. Epstein was used as an asset in that he had the ability to provide the pedo elites/politicians with the teens in order to blackmail the elite/ politicians.

Where did you hear he was in Ramstein?
The US attorney’s office in Manhattan has suggested it will advance the case by focusing on the conspiracy charge against Epstein, which accused him of working with employees and associates to operate a vast sex-trafficking ring involving dozens of girls. The conspiracy count could allow prosecutors to charge anyone else involved in the scheme.

No. What I'm saying is that a secret power group exists within our own government.
Russia is just another easily manipulated pawn.

Understood. I've always been a fence sitter on that topic. Maybe not so much anymore.
