Congress has mandated that the Trump administration release a trove of Epstein-related files by tomorrow – and the Justice Department is racing to process thousands of pages of documents and images.
In an exclusive, CNN reports that the Justice Department is racing to redact thousands of pages in oder to protect victims, and address executive and legal privacy concerns. Per CNN, counterintelligence specialists “ were asked to drop nearly all of their other work”.
I really hope that there’s so many cooks in the kitchen doing the redacting, that someone fucks up and releases it unredacted.
How did they spend a million dollars on overtime with 1000 agents redacting the files, and they STILL haven’t redacted Trump’s name out of them?
How many fucking times did his name appear?!
Trump’s name probably shows up more than Epstein’s.
All of the times, apparently.
I’ve been saying from the jump, these are the Trump-Epstein Files.
How did they spend a million dollars on overtime with 1000 agents redacting the files, and they STILL haven’t redacted Trump’s name out of them?
The vast majority of these documents are digital. And have been backed up at many levels. And reproduced at even more.
So maybe they already redacted all the PDFs in the folder. But they then learned that there are already like twenty different backups and many slightly edited versions that different attorneys had made notes on and…
Or… knowing this administration, they might have literally printed out copies and hand redacted a single printout of every document.
But the good news is that there are a ridiculous number of copies in the wild and a very bipartisan (and even non-partisan) selection of people have read them and likely have their own copies. So, if any people actually care (big if…), expect basically constant mud slinging and screams of “fake news” tomorrow as everyone spite releases documents because their team wasn’t redacted or because they just want to watch rapists squirm.
It’s also possible that they’re facing a lot of internal resistance, the type wherein you spend 4 hours polishing a piece of metal because they wanted it spotless. Could also be that they’ve burned down enough of the back end structure that now nothing works like it’s supposed to resulting in massive lag.
Yeah, also they probably spent a ton of time trying to figure out which FBI agents they could trust to cover up their dirt for them. Also, just generally speaking, I’m pretty sure Kash Patel is even stupider than he looks.
This is just hilarious, at this point. They had a team of over a thousand FBI analysts going through these files for months, flagging all instances where Trump’s name came up. Apparently, he was mentioned so often, that they simply decided that they couldn’t release any of it.
Now they’re being forced to release it all, and here we are months later…and they’re still struggling to redact all mention of Trump. Seriously, how deep up Epstein’s ass did he go? Was his name on every single page?
I think it’s not just Trump. They said something along the lines of releasing it would have catastrophic political consequences.
I imagine they are trying to balance redacting enough so that the redactions themselves won’t cause enough of an outrage so that the unredacted stuff needs to be released, redact stuff in a way that none of the various cliques in both parties feels slighted enough to flip the table.
Add to it that there are probably international contacts in there as well, so an unredacted release could topple US-friendly regimes worldwide. And then the backchannels are probably being lit up constantly by scared rapists with wealth or contacts.
And it’s not like we aren’t all going to replace “redacted” with Trump, in every instance it would fit anyway.
And shouldn’t they only be retracting the victims names, not the perpetrators.
The fact that they’ve been doing this for so long now AND STILL AREN’T DONE is telling in itself.
So in other words, lots of new eyes on these documents, I want to imagine that trump related info will be leaked
Why wouldn’t they use Grok to redact it? It’s government approved.
There will be a yuge trump sized hole in the Epstein files I guarantee it
I thought the deadline was months ago
The only way we’re going to see something incriminating enough is if somebody makes a mistake.
