What with Donald Trump trying to defeat Thomas Massie tomorrow on account of Massie co-sponsoring "The Epstein Files Transparency Act," there could hardly be a better time for an exhibition of the Epstein files. Indeed, in a TriBeCa gallery in lower Manhattan at 101 Reade St, very close to where Epstein was found dead in his cell in 2019, there is an exhibition of the printed files. Here it is:
The files have been printed and bound in 2 inch-thick books. There are 3,437 books. They weigh 8 tons. And these are just the files that have been released. Many people suspect there are other files that have not been released. The project is called the "Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room" because Trump's name appears thousands of times in the files.
One of the project's backers, David Garrett, said: "When I'm looking at my phone and I see a cat video, an ICE raid, my aunt's birthday cake, and evidence of the worst crime in 250 years of American history, and it's all kind of in the same feed, it all sort of takes the same weight. You lose context." The exhibition also contains small artificial candles dedicated to the survivors. There is also a bulletin board where visitors can post comments. One of the survivors, Danielle Bensky, said she was moved by the exhibition. Garrett said the exhibition cost in the low six figures. (V)
