Given how bad this administration fumbled the epstein issue, them screwing up with the redaction bug wouldn't surprise me. I'm waiting for a complete rundown with bated breath

I think this administration, and the one before, and likely the one before that as well, and the one before even that, all are the epstein issue.

 

[Dev1lXYZ]

Oh this is going to be fantastic. A terrible economic situation married to redacted/unredacted truth is exactly how God operates.

 

[ProtoByte]

On the contrary, they knew exactly what they were doing.

Simple sabotage is as old as human civilization itself. Countless authoritarian regimes have been undone through basic acts that come across as incompetence at first glance, but slowly add up over time. In fact, you should read the CIA's own manual from 1944 on the subject.

What? If I'm reading this right, you think that the redaction screwup is an organized attempt to bring down the Trump admin from the inside?

Another common sense question that's been asked dozens of times: Trump's admin was the one where Epstein was arrested in 2019. If there was a coverup it would've been on that outfit. Why would democrats or democrat operatives, a disproportionate amount that also wants to defenestrate the ultra wealthy as well as harbouring intense hatred for Trump, not have leaked out this stuff earlier assuming there was some smoking gun against any of them?

This kind of logical fallacy is a symptom of feeling committed to an unfalsifiable myth.

People believe Biden didnt release anything to protect bill Clinton.

Oh I'm sure there are many Democrat politicians wrapped up in this Epstein crap, not just Clinton. People in power from both parties (and even other nations) are implicated with Epstein.

I think if it was just mainly Clinton they would have burned than stuff would have come out during this last election to try to help push Harris into Office

I bet there are just too many powerful people in both parties not to mention all over the world for us to ever get the entire truth

Why, indeed! Maybe you should think about it further, instead of making it about Trump.

This kind of logical fallacy is a symptom of feeling committed to an unfalsifiable myth.

And what kind of fallacy would that be? Looking forward to you clarifying for me.

And the grand majority of the FBI are career government employees who continue do what they do even as the power shifts in Washington between political parties. Directors may change, priorities may shift on the whims of the executive branch, but the core mission continues. Patel has positional power, but wields no real authority or influence. Malicious compliance can be a lot of fun!

The Justice Department announced on Christmas Eve it had lawyers ‘working around the clock’ to review the materials, but it could take weeks to release the rest

LOL. Piss an moan all you want, this is way more than you would have ever seen from any other administration. It is almost like your expectations are too high or something.

It is an excellent distraction though. That world ending comet must be right around the corner.

That image of Michael Jackson and Diana Ross with 3 kids... Those are THEIR kids. Mike's 2 sons and one of Diana's sons. Old picture and no need for redactions OR to include them in the Epstein dump as that picture wasn't ANYWHERE near Epstein's property or being.

Odds that many of those 'one million new documents found' are just there to muddy the discussions even further.

That's always been the problem with "the elstein list" and just releasing them all. It's not some little black book of just the bad stuff, its a giant mass of crap, most if it totally unrelated or not connected to any shady shit, but its all guilt by association.

This logic should be used with a massive amount of the pictures released, like most of the Trump photos. The problem is the order was for them to release EVERYTHING. Now your getting stuff that is completely worthless released and tons of reported tips and info that has been investigated and has been proven fake.

That's the thing tho... The MJ photo redacted the kids' faces as if they were victims... So much was redacted and the law that was passed was supposed to have very few redactions EXCEPT the names of the victims... But Bondi and company are flaunting the law and using obfuscation to try and muddy the waters. Such as this image of MJ, DR and their kids.

At the minimum: He was flying around with Epstein a lot more than previously recorded and at least two (?) accusations of women saying he sexually assaulted them.

They did the same thing with the picture released by the media of Trump with the Hawaiian Tropic models. Blocked out faces when there was no alleged crime, just a picture taken at a modeling competition.

Nothing of substance is going to come from the public release of these documents. Any possible prosecution of as of yet unnamed suspects prevents those documents from being released. They just need to start bringing charges on people or just shut it all down if they're not.

All this stuff is just making me nostalgiac for when we were told by the sitting president that the pursuit of these files were a "democratic hoax"

I think at this point it's obvious to anyone paying attention that the Epstein sex ring goes beyond him and Maxwell. Government clearly tried to cover it up because Trump is mixed in there pretty deep, with very strong evidence that he knew about the trafficking for a LONG time, being best buds with Epstein. The redactions and fake files, calling things a hoax, trying to prevent the vote, it all makes him look guilty as hell and further underscores his character. I've seen several MAGA die hards putting the pieces together now, extending to the big lie, impeachments, insurrection, to realize he was always a con-man and a fraud, and now protects pedophiles. I guess no one wants to be taken on a ride as a fool.

My hope is that these other powerful entities and the clients get taken down, so we can get justice for the women. The focus on Trump is in some ways a distraction because even though he's a slimeball there are likely far worse actors that need to be exposed.

One of the leaked emails from the new batches. Not sure why Trump and Maxwell's photo needs to be redacted, when those were supposed to only be for minors and victims.

Really beginning to wonder how his fans are gonna justify continuing to support him. Just pretend it's all fake? Ignore it? At least point he's drawing targets on his own back

Holy fuck at these last few posts. SOunds like the plot of some horrible sitcoms tbh. I hope those things are not true, but then again why would people even say something like that (the baby story).... damn

Sometimes reality is stranger (and more horrible) than fiction.

Who knows, Trump will probably die from old age and we still won't know 100% truth.

There's this exhaustive New York Times article on Marjorie Taylor Greene and here's an excerpt from it:

For Greene, the decades that Epstein spent eluding justice for exploiting and sexually assaulting countless girls and young women while amassing a fortune, and the seeming efforts by the government to cover up the injustice, "represents everything wrong with Washington," she told me. This September, Greene spoke with several of Epstein's victims for the first time in a closed-door House Oversight Committee meeting. She knew that the women had paid their own way to come to Washington. She saw some of them trembling and crying as they spoke. Their accounts struck her as entirely believable. Greene herself had never been sexually abused, but she knew women who had. In her own small way, Greene later told me, she could understand what it was like for a woman to stand up to a powerful man.

After the hearing, Greene held a news conference at which she threatened to identify some of the men who had abused the women. (Greene says that she didn't know those names herself but that she could have gotten them from the victims.) Trump called Greene to voice his displeasure. Greene was in her Capitol Hill office, and according to a staff member, everyone in the suite of rooms could hear him yelling at her as she listened to him on speakerphone. Greene says she expressed her perplexity over his intransigence. According to Greene, Trump replied, "My friends will get hurt."
