FBI Domestic Threat Assessment — Black Book on Alt-Right Telegram (266N-BH-2232077)

Case 266N-BH-2232077 is a Sentinel-numbered FBI investigative file under the Bureau's '266' classification — Domestic Terrorism / Threats to Civil Rights / Hate Crimes — opened by the Birmingham Field Office and worked by Squad 6. The 'BH' two-letter origin code identifies Birmingham, Alabama as the office of origin, and the '266N' classification indicates a domestic-threat predicated matter. Unlike the FBI's Epstein sex-trafficking file at New York (50D-NY-3027571 / 31E-NY-3027571), this Birmingham file is not an Epstein investigation in the substantive sense; Epstein-related material enters the file only as the subject matter of a single confidential-human-source (CHS) report tied to a hate-crime-classified Telegram channel.

The relevant source report was authored on August 23, 2019 — thirteen days after Epstein's death in MCC custody — and documents an August 13, 2019 e-mail contact between Special Agent Cordell R. Spears and an established Birmingham CHS. The CHS reported that a Telegram channel described as 'hate-crime related' — the 'Alt-Right Shitlords' channel at t.me/WhiteIsRight — had posted what the channel characterized as 'the Unredacted little black book' of Jeffrey Epstein, in the form of a 95-page photocopy with handwritten annotations consistent with an investigator's working copy.

The FD-1023 was routed approximately three weeks later (September 13, 2019) from Birmingham to the New York Field Office's Violent Crimes Against Children / Human Trafficking program (squad designation 'ID-13 / C-20, VCAC / HT'), where the Epstein investigation was centered. The cover e-mail (EFTA00174672) describes the FD-1023 as 'a source report from BH regarding the Black Book of Epstein's' and forwards two attachments: the FD-1023 itself (filed in Sentinel as S-00002345-A-323) and a copy of the leaked PDF titled 'Jeffrey_Epstein39s_Little_Black_Book_unredacted.pdf.' The corpus contains no further derivative serials within 266N-BH-2232077 — the file appears in the production solely through this single Birmingham-to-New York hand-off.

The corpus links exactly two pages to 266N-BH-2232077, both dataset-9 SDNY-production documents and both stamped with the case number directly (linkage_type 'fbi_case_number,' the highest-confidence linkage available for FBI files).

The first page (EFTA00174672) is the September 13, 2019 cover e-mail from a New York Field Office intelligence analyst (squad 'ID-13 / C-20, VCAC / HT') routing the Birmingham source report into the Epstein case workflow. It carries the subject line 'JE Black Book --- UNCLASSIFIED,' references the FD-1023 as 'Serial 117' of 266N-BH-2232077, and attaches both the underlying Sentinel-stamped report (S-00002345-A-323.pdf) and the leaked PDF of the unredacted black book itself.

The second page (EFTA00174673) is the FD-1023 ('CHS Reporting Document') authored by SA Cordell R. Spears of FBI Birmingham Squad 6 on August 23, 2019, memorializing an August 13, 2019 e-mail contact with a Birmingham CHS described as 'an established source who is considered highly reliable and is responsive to tasking with both direct and indirect access, much of whose reporting has been corroborated and validated over the past eighteen years.' The CHS reported that the 'Alt-Right Shitlords' Telegram channel (t.me/WhiteIsRight), which the source characterized as 'hate-crime related,' had posted what purported to be 'the Unredacted little black book' of Jeffrey Epstein. The CHS described the document as a 95-page photocopy with handwritten annotations — names circled with 'Witness' written next to them, two hand-written pages at the end including a notation reading '*** — Jean-Luc Brunel "Scout" for young females' and a reference to Secret Service personnel escorting former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak on Epstein aircraft, plus a Palm Beach (2004–2005) witness annotation. The CHS also reported that pages 93–94 list 35 female first-name-only entries under 'Visitors Massage (P.B)' (Palm Beach) in what the source called 'the investigator's' handwriting.

The FD-1023's stated investigative concern is twofold: (1) the document appears to be an investigator's working copy that has escaped the chain of custody, and (2) it contains personal telephone numbers — the source specifically flags 'three numbers listed for Ivana and two for Ivanka on p. 54 of 95' — which the CHS opined 'spammers / blackmailers / journalists could have a heyday with.' The synopsis line reads simply: 'Hate-crime related telegram channel posted the Unredacted little black book of Jeffrey Epstein.'

What the corpus does NOT show: there are no follow-on serials, no derivative leads opened against the Telegram channel operators, no apparent referral to the FBI's Domestic Terrorism Operations Section for the underlying 'hate-crime related' channel itself, and no evidence of subsequent investigative action on the chain-of-custody question raised by the 'investigator's working copy' annotations. The two-document footprint suggests the file was opened narrowly to memorialize the source contact and was not pursued further within the EFTA-released production.
