Funny thing is that no FBI director has been appointed by a Democrat. Not even Clinton had that kind of control of the FBI.
Edit: looks like I was wrong about appointments; Clinton did appoint an FBI director who had previously been appointed by Bush to another position. He still didn't have the kind of power over the FBI that would have let him quash an investigation like this
The 5th Director of the FBI, Louis Freeh, who was director at the time of the complaint, was literally appointed by Bill Clinton. Furthermore, the 3rd director, William Webster, was appointed by Jimmy Carter, and the 7th director, James Comey, was appointed by Barack Obama.
I believe you're counting the directors wrong. Freeh was the 15th, Webster was 11th, and Comey was 18th. https://www.fbi.gov/history/directors.
Youre right. He was also previously appointed by Bush. Not exactly a partisan, and the FBI still would gladly have gotten Clinton for this if they'd been aware of his involvement
OP is misremembering. The real key is that no Democrat has ever been appointed to run the FBI. Democrats always appoint Republicans to run the FBI.

I was just thinking this. The FBI was completely in dependent back then. Still interesting to note.
Nice try
Not really trying anything. Just that whatever kept the FBI from pursuing Epstein, it was something other than a desire to protect Clinton. They had it in for Clinton and would have gone after this if they thought it would take him down.

I'm losing my mind. Keep getting banned on reddit because the ban bot's list of unacceptable words keeps growing at an exponential rate.
Now my comments are dissappearing when I submit them on Lemmy too
I'm just screaming into the void
Edit: I now have proof that humans are not reading appeals. I told them off using the most vulgar language I could muster in my appeal
An hour ago my appeal was approved
I feel like Morgan Freeman's character "Red" at the end of Shawshank
I don't really give a shit
Shit piss motherfucker cunt fart tits turd twat cum smegma pussy cock dick pedophile bill Clinton George bush Donald Trump Barack Obama Israel Netanyahu fuck orgy rape kill purple monkey dishwasher fuckstick dipshit fisting gape anal felching Orgy.
EDIT: yeah you're totally getting censored because you're using inappropriate words. You can't use any inappropriate words on lemmy, that's why it's such a bucket of boiling hot ape shum, what in the corpse-fucking shit is even fucking wrong with this hymen-gnawing world? We can't even fucking cuss!
I've fucked barn cats with more tact and self awareness than this arbitrary word-based filter, WHERE THE FUCK IS MY SHITEATING FREEDOM?
We didn't start the fire.🎵
You can't just say 'dishwasher'!
Suck my fucking cock you turgid jizz squeegee.
You can't just say "squeegee"!
Eat a dick you limpid shit gourmand
If you don't already work in a trade, you'd likely have a bright future as a skilled blue collar worker. Your vocabulary would allow you to perform the deep magic.
Alas I do not, and don't think my back could take a transition at this stage of my life.
That goes beyond the 7 words you can’t say on tv.
I can say whatever the fuck I want on fuckjng tv. If any motherfucker is pigfuckingly stupid enough to put my fucking idiotic ass onto fucking television then they can deal with the headfuckingly challenging god damned tessaract of shit that's going to come out of my fucking mouth and they can spend an eternity drowning in that four dimensional fucktangle of sewage for all I fucking care.
Also this fuckjng censorship is out of fucking control, I am tired of sitting behind this Great Wall of fucking feces trying to get my important message out into the fucking world, why in the infant Christ fucking hell are we putting up with this egregious non consensual removal of our fucking balls?

What were you saying? Or what instance were they posted too? I imagine every instance will be a bit different. But I'm curious what could be said about Epstein and co that would get deleted. Only if you were directly calling for someone to attacked for something unproven would I imagine anyone having an issue here
Probably the n-word
not completely void, but it does feel like that sometimes...
Try posting to other instances.

The NYT, CNN, Fox News, WaPo, etc criticizing the Epstein files is the equivalent of finding a lone roach in your house.
It's not just one.
It's a sign of something much, much worse
And they will still ignore it in 2025.
He said the government until now has denied the existence of the Ms. Farmer’s report, and that it was “shameful” that it was kept secret. “There should be a full fledged investigation into every government employee who knew about this document and allowed a narrative to be publicized that it did not exist,” Mr. Edwards said. An internal investigation of the Department of Justice’s handling of the Epstein case, released in 2020, made no mention of Ms. Farmer’s original complaint.
Absolutely Bonkers
“There should be a full fledged investigation into every government employee who knew about this document and allowed a narrative to be publicized that it did not exist,”
And may I add, "and then hang every damn one of them as traitors."
"and then hang every damn one of them as traitors."
Normally, aid agree 100%, being a Traitor is about the lowest form of scum there is, but there is something worse - a pedophile, and they're all pedophiles.
So hang them as both Traitors AND Pedophiles, and make THAT their permanent legacies.
And most pedophiles don't do shit, most suffer their entire life with their sexuality but would never hurt a child - those are a different kind and more often than not- not actually pedophiles

Hey it's me Detective Hangemall. I'll gladly investigate this but my record so far is zero convictions. All the damn suspects keep disappearing but I'm willing to work for free.
If you can capture footage of these "disappearances", you are hired.
Strictly for me of course.
