FBI agents assigned earlier this year to review investigative files in the criminal case against notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were instructed to “flag” any documents that mentioned President Donald Trump, Sen. Richard Durbin said Friday.

Durbin’s claim came in letters the Illinois Democrat sent to the Justice Department and FBI asking them to explain discrepancies between past statements about a promised release of the Epstein files and findings from a July 7 Justice Department memo, which said no such release would happen.

    Hmm, so in March they reassign hundreds of agents to the task of “flagging” mentions of Trump. So, a shit ton of documents here. And now, there are no noteworthy documents to release at all. So Trump was in every noteworthy document related to the entire Epstein investigation, is what I’m hearing.
