As we all know, the House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed slews of documents from the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein (essentially meaning Mark Epstein, Jeffries brother). The Committee, in turn, occasionally releases some of those documents to the public.
To be clear, the “Epstein Files” are the files containing actual evidence that have been in the FBI and DOJ’s possession since Epstein’s arrest. The files the House is releasing from the Estate are more akin to background information.
Some them are interesting, but the vast majority of them are mind-numbingly boring.
Jeffreys Email Addresses
There are two email addresses to use when searching this trove for correspondence to or from Epstein:
- jeevacation@gmail.com was his personal address – searching for that string will help you home in on email correspondence.
- jeeitunes@gmail.com was the address he created for his iPhones Apple account.
Shortfalls in Censorship
While the house tried to redact identities from much of Epsteins correspondence, occassionally it failed to do so. Sometimes it was a message where the sender whose name was redacted sends a phone number to Epstein. Googling that number can find who it could be connected to. Othertimes, conversations themselves contain hints of identities, links too websites about them, etc. And sometimes House Oversight simply failed to redact a correspondent.
The Bannon-Chomsky Lunch
From my reading of the message exchanges, it sounds like Epstein brokered a lunch between Steve Bannon and Noam Chomsky.
In a conversation through iMessage on 9/7/2018, Epstein casually mentioned a standing invite from Chomsky to Bannon:

Message: Btw Chomsky invited u to ArizonaThat mention went unacknowledged. We can later determine the conversation was with Bannon because of an exchange the pair had about Bob Woodward later on in the same thread.

Message: Christie Blasts Woodward As 'Stenographer' For Steve Bannon. . your plan is working well. My french govt guys said it is a shame that some if this has real world consequences. - otherwise the performances are fantasticIn the next thread (a few months later), Jeffrey finally succeeds in connecting the pair. Bannon’s identity is redacted in the correspondence, but Epstein’s correspondent mentions that his brother lives down the street from Chomsky in Tucson Arizona. This would be Chris Bannon of the University of Arizona in Tuscon.

Nothing mind-blowing, nothing hinting at criminality. Just a curiosity. One of my life-long heroes (Noam Chomsky) having lunch and talking shop with one of the most egregious people in the world (Steve Bannon).
