#1 The FBI has the logs, but they also have all of Jeffery’s video collection. Ignoring the criminals is an explicit choice the DOJ has made. The people that have this predilection don’t grow out of it. They just commit more or most often worse crimes. Our authorities are accessories to these abominable acts as they continue.

#4 Wait a minute. This is a rip off. These pictures/PDFs of the logs are illegible. Why don't they release something that people can actually read? Stupid question. I know.

#5 Ask Washington McClatchy Bureau - they're the ones who made the logs "available".

#6 Don't even try to tell me the 4Chan crowd hasn't already transcribed and legibilized it.

You see something, Abu Uluque? All I see is an unpopulated file.

#8 I see very faint markings, tw. The markings look like writing but they are much too faint for my feeble eyes to read. It's like trying to read without my glasses in a room where there is not enough light. My eyes get strained and then I can see even less.

Computer software might be able to enhance the images. Or maybe they could be printed and examined with a magnifying glass.

But I suppose we should have known better than to expect anything significant would be revealed.

#9 Best name on list so far: Celina Middlefart. I'm going with funny/deliberate misspelling of Midelfart. Also see Sen George Mitchell.

#10 I did have to wait several seconds for the images to come into focus on my computer screen, like they were slowly being downloaded from the server. I waited because I learned patience after decades of working with computers.

#11 I guess what bothers me the most is that no way could the writing have been that faint and small on the original documents. Therefor I suspect the documents were deliberately scanned in such a manner that they would be illegible. That way they can say they're releasing the information but they're really not releasing anything. The documents might as well be redacted.

#12 The glamorous Norwegian heiress who Epstein 'cheated on' Ghislaine with: Celina Midelfart took over family cosmetics empire at 22 and her famous exes include Robbie Williams, Prince Haakon AND Donald Trump

Behold the power of weaponized autism!

Zooming in with a browser, a lot of the text looks like it was written with a stubby golf pencil. The copies are not great, but standard image processing like contrast enhancement would do wonders for legibility. No doubt some enterprising nerds are running it thru a neural network trained to recognize handwriting.

#14 In the upper right of the illegible list is a 'Save as pdf.

Do that and you can see it quite clearly. Lots of initials.

Optical character reading software is very good these days.

#16 A federal judge has ordered the public disclosure of the identities of more than 150 people mentioned in a mountain of court documents related to the late-financier Jeffrey Epstein, saying that most of the names were already public and that many had not objected to the release.
