Essayli is likely to be disqualified from his post shortly, per @MitchABlack

During his 13-month sentence in PB Epstein was allowed to go to his office 12 hours/day on work release. But he also hired the local deputies to work as his personal security.
Turns out, they let him go home as well, which was not permitted in his work release.

Success! Judge Sullivan has rejected the Trump admin's delay tactics our case on behalf of @KatiePhang over the Epstein Files. DOJ must file its answer, produce FBI notes related to Trump for the court's review, and finally review foreign language docs.

The NEW FBI documents released FOIA highlight some tension over a joint statement about the decision not to release Epstein files last summer that the DOJ and FBI had started to draft.
In one email, dated June 24, 2025, under the subject line, “Epstein DOJ memo,” then-Deputy Director Dan Bongino wrote to Patel:
NEW FOIA Files EXCLUSIVE: Internal FBI documents shed new light on the government’s review of the Jeffrey Epstein files and reveal efforts by the former Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson to connect a British socialite with FBI Director Kash Patel

Sullivan: "That isn’t a threat. It’s a promise."
