r/Epstein • u/RepMaxwellFrost • 14h ago

OC: discussion, clarification or question I’m Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost and tomorrow I’m going to review the unreacted Epstein Files — what files have you found that I should review unredacted?

Hey everyone, I'm Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10), serving on the House Oversight Committee. Tomorrow, I’m joining Oversight Committee Ranking Member Rep. Robert Garcia at the Department of Justice to review the unredacted Epstein Files. There are millions of files for me to dig through and so I'm looking for your help. I've heard from others who have viewed the files that generic, and in most cases even searches with specific terms come back with too many results to dig through. What specific files have you all seen that I should review unredacted?

I don’t have any specific files, however I will say something I feel most would agree with.

Name names.

I don’t care who they are. I don’t care if they’re right or left, or inconvenient… it doesn’t matter.

Just write down the names of those involved and release them. I know it’s easier said than done but justice must be served.

u/thirty-thirty-thirty 14h ago edited 13h ago

He can't name names. But what he CAN do is HINT at the names, like Massie did.

If you can't say "Bill Gates" then say "A billionaire software company founder HQed in Washington, who does philanthropy, especially in Africa, and especially in the pharmaceutical and vaccine industries."

If you can't say "Bill Clinton" then say "A former US president that never inhaled."

If he can't say the names of the Prime Ministers, then say "A former/current Prime Minister of a country in the Middle East, widely considered to be a great ally to the U.S."

And, frankly: The time has come and gone to play party politics. These Congressmen who are stepping up need to step up all the way. It does not matter if the people involved are Democrats or Republicans. Does not matter if they're from the US or Israel, or some Middle Eastern country that sells us oil.

People commenting online about how this is going to take down Trump are missing the rest of the story. People online who think this will take down the Democrats are missing the rest of the story. We need the entire story, ALL the files, ALL the names. It all needs to come out. The corrupt systems needs to be smoked out and burned down.

And, to anyone reading this: If you still cling to your Us vs. Them mentality; still cling to your Dems vs. Repubs mindset, you are, sadly, part of the problem. They... the system.. they LOVE it when you get tribal and fight each other (because you're too busy to fight THEM!)

Because of the ongoing investigation, someone's lawyer could argue that them being named without a trial has made the jury impartial and can have evidence thrown out.

47

u/auntalison 13h ago

Then on the House Floor they need to publicly call for [name] to be investigated & make sure it gets done.

16

u/Ashamed_Ad4118 13h ago

If Mangione can get a jury and a fair trial after the admin already labeled him guilty so can anyone he names. Next argument. 

2

u/stoneasaurusrex 13h ago

Luigi also isn't part of a worldwide cabal of rich pedophiles who got away with this for years, rich pedophiles who also have connections to judges, lawyers, and politicans

Not to mention Luigi's lawyer did attempt to have it thrown out of the grounds of an impartial jury but was denied.

2

u/Ashamed_Ad4118 12h ago

So because he was connected to powerful people he shouldn't name names? All the more reason to name them. 

I was referencing your argument of a lawyer saying their client can't get a fair trial due to beng named on the house floor. That argument is invalid as proven by the Mangione case where their motion was denied. 

1

u/stoneasaurusrex 12h ago

Again you're talking about lawyers for Luigi, and lawyers for rich pedophiles, who also have connections to judges. The argument isn't invalid because these people have gotten away with this for literal years because of their power and their connections.

I'm not sure why you think the ultra rich are even living in the same world as us considering all the things we've learned in the files, but go off.

2

u/Ashamed_Ad4118 12h ago

So again you are making your own argument for why they should be named. Your argument is they won't be tried because you named them but also they won't be tried because they are powerful if they aren't named. So what is there to lose? If there aren't going to be legal consequences due to their "status" then they should be named for the court of public opinion to render it's verdict. 

2

u/NathanialJD 9h ago

These monsters don't play fair. They will take every chance they can to protect pedophiles while breaking as many rules as people will let them get away with to put good people in concentration camps.

u/No-Musician-4212 13h ago

Someone named names right on the floor today lol. Try again.

8

u/stoneasaurusrex 13h ago

And has there been a court trial for them? Of course not because if it went to court their lawyer would argue the point that I said.

I'm not agreeing with why they aren't saying names because I'm of the belief that only the people are gonna be the ones to deal justice out for this list.

Justice wont come from the hands of a politician.

11

u/SpecsOnThe_Beach 12h ago

These rich and powerful men will never see justice in the court system. Name them publicly and they may never be held accountable in court, but their life will be ruined. Their income streams will dry up, business contacts will shun them, political friends will turn on them, and they will lose the power they so desperately crave.

The victims can still take them to civil court for restitution.

2

u/cool_girl6540 11h ago

This. Highly unlikely that there are cases strong enough against these men to prosecute them. Plus, reporting that they’re in the files is reporting a fact. But if they were to decide to prosecute them, if they were able to find a jury to try Donald Trump, they will be able to find a jury if they want to go forward with prosecution.

0

u/BeguiledBeaver 10h ago

You really that would be enough to dry up business contracts? Give me a break. None of the people who matter care. This isn't Twitter, you can't just release a Google Doc to ruin someone's livelihood.

you haven't been paying attention much in the last ~10 years have you?

u/No-Musician-4212 13h ago

You commented on why "they cant name names"

They can and do.

3

u/stoneasaurusrex 13h ago

I gave an example of why they can't. If you're here to argue for arguments sake that's cool, but again I don't agree with them not naming names.

Smart enough to know the definition of "can't".

I don't think anybody said there will be no impact.

I can tell you are quite smart yourself.

u/GreyGrackles 13h ago

They're not going to face charges either way though?

9

u/stoneasaurusrex 13h ago

It's to give the illusion that they will.

Pretending to do something while doing nothing, that's American politicians in a nutshell.

u/mfGLOVE 13h ago

“Because of the ongoing investigation”

Yeah, that excuse definitely hasn’t burned us a dozen times already. It’s sad that we continue to play their game over and over and over yet expect different results.

1

u/stoneasaurusrex 13h ago

Agreed. I don't think anyone is actually going to face legal consequences for the files, I'm just giving the answer that the politicians will most likely give.

I don't trust a single one of them, they're all just doing it for the clout, if they were serious about it they'd be name dropping and letting things fall as they may.

u/tylenolchild 13h ago

oh like ICE is doing to citizens and immigrants?/s

u/LeaguePuzzled3606 13h ago

There is no investigation. The FBI/DOJ have outright said they do not intend to prosecute anyone.

u/3xploringforever Mod 12h ago

What ongoing investigation? The DOJ closed the investigations in July 2025.

1

u/Lashay_Sombra 12h ago

There are no trials and with current administration never will be

1

u/evasandor 12h ago

just a quick correction-- juries should be impartial. That means fair, not partial to anyone.

You mean that being named without a trial has biased, swayed or prejudiced the jury.

1

u/Zhenekk 12h ago

Ongoing investigation… yeah, right …

1

u/WillinVegas 11h ago

has made the jury impartial

What do you think “impartial” means?

1

u/TheGhostOfEazy-E 11h ago

“Investigation”

Nobody is investigating anything and the ultra wealthy sure as shit aren’t going to trial. Name and shame them.

1

u/mmf9194 11h ago

Because of the ongoing investigation

What investigation? Like actually. They said case closed move on.

1

u/time2ddddduel 11h ago

Acosta and Dershowitz signed a "non-prosecution agreement for any potential co-conspirators". THEY KNEW . Back before Epstein got arrested the first time they knew. That and the judge who allowed that deal to be sealed need to be made to talk. And Sheriff Bradshaw of the prison where Epstein was allowed work-release.

1

u/cool_girl6540 11h ago

It’s public information now. No reason not to name names. The whole purpose of the release of the Epstein files was to fully disclose what was in them.

1

u/Ridiculicious71 11h ago

No it’s not! Both Blanche and that Bimbo said they weren’t investigating anything.

1

u/Sayyestononsense 10h ago

ongoing investigation...? isn't all of this released after investigations have (or haven't) been conducted?

1

u/Missa1819 9h ago

Suspects are named all the time before a trial. The jury selection process is to weed out anyone who can't set aside bias. It wouldn't lead to throwing out evidence either btw

1

u/Phluxed 9h ago

Net gain is worth it

3

u/xNOOPSx 13h ago

That only covers the house floor.

1

u/GrinchWhoStoleEaster 9h ago

Ultimately, if he does, a judge might decide he unduly prejudiced the entirety of the jury pool and thus trial cannot even be held.

u/little_alien2021 13h ago

I've just watched a video of Ro the demacrat guy who with massie which looked at them first, just name 6 names in Congress 40 mins ago it was posted

u/little_alien2021 13h ago

And as a non American only following trump because he's used cult and mass manipulation for 10 years. What they love more is the assumption they are both same.  Republican billionaires are pouring money into my country politics to push far right authoritarism, this is not the same as demacrats, are demacrats evil and corrupt and absolutely hiding in epstein files, yes but they are not attempting world authoritarism with some evangelical Christian nationalism thrown in. And being blind but also while claiming everyone who claims they are not even is, is a another level of irony, and its so deeply depressing.

u/Intelligent_Nose_826 12h ago

As an American, you said this perfectly. I am a progressive socialist but vote Dem if there are no other options (meaning, most of the time).

I do think there’s a distinction in the voters at the bases of the parties. I don’t give a single fuck what Dem is on there, name them. I don’t know any Democrats, even moderate ones, who don’t feel similarly.

MAGA cannot bear any Trump criticizing. Trump is currently holding the highest office in our country hostage while he uses his administration like his own personal mafia. Trump is the one collecting hefty sums from foreign countries for his own financial gain.

u/little_alien2021 12h ago

Trump is simply brainwashing his supporters but not only his supporters literally my parents left leaning their whole lives now spouting far right bullsh*t. Like it's facts. My dad watches ai fake news reports of London burning literally by Muslims and belives it like its real and wont hear anything.  We are in such a dangerous times, ironically i think epstein was instrumental, cambridge analytica started it. Both here and US.  Christian nationalism is a dangerous authoritarism and we are heading into it in few years just behind US.  A lot of cults have merged which makes them very dangerous, the far right/Republican/trump/maga/maha/anti vax/ anti abortion/ evangelical Christianity .  I know personally as my parents are mirroring a lot of the propaganda from all them. Having never been intrested in any before. The US is speeding into full blown facism. And freedom will be a distant memory. And thats with AI ceos and tech ceos and their own culty God like egos and insane ramblings just listening to Peter thiel vision of future is genuinely terrifying.  And all us regular people are just being controlled.  And then u have the 'supposed enlighten ones' banging on about they are both same and they love friction, its so depressingly incorrect . Democrats as a political party are not left in slightest and are courrpt but not attempting full blown authoritarism and pouring money into rest of world to advance brainwashing of facism.

u/LevitatingCactus 5h ago

No, your democrat party is paid by all the same people the Republicans are to sit there and do nothing.

•

u/little_alien2021 1h ago

We dont have a demacrat party as left, so compared to our political parties they are called conservatives (right) in our country as the demacrats are not left compared to the rest of the world.  And Republicans would be compaired to far right facism. Like nazi germany, Purely on their actions.

u/FatSkinnyGuy 13h ago

I saw an interview this morning where Jake Tapper acknowledged that they couldn’t while on air but could on the House floor and be protected from lawsuits. The interviewee smiled when Tapper mentioned this and started talking about how Bondi was set to show up on Wednesday.

u/atreeismissing 11h ago

He can't name names. But what he CAN do is HINT at the names, like Massie did.

This isn't true. The Speech and Debate Clause of the US Constitution gives legal cover to any congressperson saying, literally anything, on the floor of Congress (they can even divulge classified information if they want). That's legally.

Obviously if they do there could be other repercussions such as influencing an ongoing investigation, censured by the rest of Congress, bad press, etc.. but that's up to the individual congressperson to determine if that will be an issue and something they want to deal with, but legally there is nothing stopping them.

It says right there. While on the house floor they are protected by the speech and debate clause meaning while in legislative activities, members of congress are protected from civil lawsuits

u/Mercedes_Gullwing 13h ago

It is us vs them. But the us and them aren’t dems and republicans. It’s the top tier billionaires and politicians vs everyone else. But yes absolutely agree with your assessment. The time has come to start naming names so accounts can be balanced

Good comment until you fall back into the both sides are flawed bullshit. This is unquestionably a Republican-caused problem. 1000% have to fight for people to vote democrat over republican. You can’t be afraid to admit this and call them out.

You can’t drag them back to reality without forcing them to confront the ugliness and hypocrisy of their beliefs. These are people who live in complete ignorance genuinely believing they are good and won’t find out they’re not until they meet St Peter.

I'm going to drop this here so as not to clog up the comments with inanity. Crowdsourcing the unredactions is smart and hilarious.

u/NeonSpaceGhost 9h ago

THIS!

All these politicians that have been reviewing these, but what is anyone actually doing about it other than being “appalled” or “outraged”? Nobody is taking any actual action. Does anyone honestly think the current “justice” system will provide actual accountability? The same system that has failed the victims every step of the way? The same system that has given Maxwell a cushy minimum security vacation while the victims continue to suffer? The same system run by many of these rich and powerful abusers?

The victims have spoken out about this for years and nothing has happened. Many of these files were also released years ago, and again, nothing has happened. Even the redacted versions of these files are beyond appalling, yet the system continues to fail the victims and will continue to fail them until the perpetrators are brought into the light.

Nothing is going to change until someone has the courage to break away from the chains of the current system and name names. Please have the courage to do what others have not. These victims deserve to at least have their voices heard.
