Other than that, there's not much that has not already been found out about her
Or aliens?

They may have then covered it up.

Comey does remind me of Fox Mulder a bit.

Also, who knows what that sneaky Angel Martin is up to in the Rockford Files?

Just more performative bullshit to distract from Epstein, and from his looting and pillaging of this country.

Politico, of all news orgs, summed it up nicely in the last graph of their story on the potential release:

“The announcement comes as the Trump administration faces continued scrutiny over its handling of the federal government’s files connected to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.”

I’ve seen enough documentaries in the history channel to know it was an unfortunate accident and her body and plane never found. Ho hum another stupid squirrel, squirrel look over there !

Epstein, Epstein, Epstein ….

Wonder why they were withheld for so long. Was she accidently shot down by the US government who covered it up?

That Earhart was spying on behalf of the U.S. on the Japanese military in 1937. That her plane was captured by Japan and that she and her navigator were executed.

That whole premise was started by a 1943 propaganda movie, "Flight For Freedom," but it had no basis in reality.

Even so I wanna play along...

She was not a she but a he. No woman could ever cope with all the science or have that kind of expertise or strength or bravery, come ON!

Come on, didn't we all already know this. Woman flying a plane for a long time, pshawww. How could she ever find the time to put on her make up?
