Images, undated and uncaptioned, include Vladimir Nabokov lines written on women and show Bill Gates and Noam Chomsky

Democrats on the House oversight committee have released a new batch of photos from the estate of convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, as the deadline for the justice department to release its files related to Epstein looms.

The images, released on Thursday, are undated and lack captions or context. Among them are photographs of what appear to be lines from Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita written on different parts of a woman’s body.

In a statement after the release Robert Garcia, a US representative and ranking member of the committee on oversight and government reform, said that “oversight Democrats will continue to release photographs and documents from the Epstein estate to provide transparency for the American people.”

“As we approach the deadline for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, these new images raise more questions about what exactly the Department of Justice has in its possession,” he said.

    Eh Chomsky has always been a bastard IMO. Fun fact I first came across his name when doing research on the Cambodian genocide in middle school (I was that kid who chose the worst things to write about in open ended essays) wherein he sided with the fucking Khmer Rouge. Seriously the one fucking time siding with the Soviet Union is the correct choice and you align yourself with the fucking Khmer Rouge.

      AFAIK he during that time (1970s-ish) said the number of deaths were exaggerated at by western media because there was a lack of (hard) evidence. Not that he was a fan Khmer Rouge and did call their acts atrocities.

      I’m not like a Chomsky super fan or anything though, so if you can send a source that says otherwise I’d love to read it
