      That included a mountain of material accumulated by the FBI over nearly two decades, including grand jury testimony, prosecutors’ case files, as well as tens of thousands of pages of the bureau’s own investigative files on Epstein. It was a herculean task that involved as many as 1,000 FBI agents and other personnel pulling all-nighters while poring through more than 100,000 documents, according to a July letter from Senator Dick Durbin to Bondi.

      In preparation for potential public release, the documents then went to a unit of FOIA officers who applied redactions in accordance with the nine exemptions. The people familiar with the matter said that Trump’s name, along with other high-profile individuals, was blacked

      And while that one is new

      Instead, Bondi’s big Epstein files party was a bust. It turned out the documents she called declassified, which included pages from Epstein’s infamous “black book,” had been previously released, most recently during the criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell four years earlier.

      Their latest release also was almost entirely published info.

              Hey, it was the 90s and the birthday note does specify that she was “fully depreciated” so, you know… whatever that terrifying part means. Its pretty fucked.

              Fun fact, you could buy a Honda Integra type R for $22,200 and still have $300 left over for the date to get a woman a more respectable way in 1996.

              You don’t read the things you link, i am taking it.
              Thats literally the reverse of what i am talking about.

              See its ok to say you dont know and converse. And we literally dont know from redactions.
              I don’t know what I’m bothering with here. You are wrong.

                You don’t like the answers you’re being given.

                Thats literally the reverse of what i am talking about.

                You’re choosing to accept Trump at face value and refusing to read between the lines.

                  I dont like the answers cause they are as accurate as an LLM and i am referring to a file in the data dump that was redacted that is of Trump buying a woman from Epstein and you keep linking to another victim of Epstein instead as if its the same thing.

                  You literally are not paying attention and acting smug about it.
                  Also that last line is so ridiculous.
