Episode 499: Unpacking 3 Million Pages Of Epstein Files + Epstein’s Secret 2 Hour Interview
One day before Nancy, mother of news anchor Savannah Guthrie, goes missing, the DOJ releases the largest, single dump of documents in the history of the Epstein case.
Over 3.5 million pages.
More than 2k videos.
Approximately 180k images.
A little over 24 hours later, Nancy vanishes and the internet starts connecting some dots, suggesting strings were pulled to ensure her disappearance monopolized the national news stage instead of the most recent Epstein files dump.
Netizens cite Savannah Guthrie’s 2019 interview with 6 of Epstein’s survivors including Shante Davies who was pictured with the former US president Bill Clinton and the now late, Virginia Guiffre. The dateline special was Virginia’s first ever televised interview, where she sat across from Savannah and specifically implicated Prince Andrew in Epstein’s trafficking ring.
So is the timing of Nancy’s disappearance just coincidental or is there something deeper at play?
Most importantly, what exactly is in these files that the public would possibly ‘need distracting’ from?
