The originals will be leaked and will expose this.
At some point someone will need to ask why “National Security” has a political bias.
TintedApostle on
Of course they are. The complete lack of any republican names will be the true tell because we already know a bunch.

This should be obvious to anyone watching what is going on

Shocking. 😐

This was always a given, especially with Trump being so down for them to be released suddenly. This administration has shown how incompetent they can be even holding all the cards, you can expect them to leave in a few things that can be followed up on, contradictions here and there, etc;
ArArmytrainingsir on
Good. Takes lots of people to scrub list and know about it. So they can all go to jail.
Quiet-Corner6150 on
It’s frankly the only reason I expect there’s suddenly a push for it. Heck, wouldn’t be surprised if the “shutdown” was just time they spent doctoring everything, knowing it’d come right back up when it was over. They’re not so stupid they’d just willingly reveal a criminal underworld that implicates them. This was always supposed to be a Democrat hit piece (or at least shied away from other major personalities) and that’s the best we’ll get.
Or they’ll just make up some other “excuse” why they can’t release them “right now”, i.e. never

Therefore every missing name is republican.

What is this guys relationship with Epstein like? Were they close? Does he agree/disagree his brother was a sex trafficking paedophile? I find it hard to gauge how to process anything he says because I don’t know who he is or what his agenda might be
oh-shazbot on
this idea still strikes me as pretty dumb. sure they can change the documents, but there are *hundreds* of victims. unless they murdered all of them, then they can just be like ‘nah, that shit’s wrong. here’s the real list’. and they can read it from the house floor so noone can get sued. i’m pretty sure MTG already said she would at some point.
Just_Cruzen on
Hopefully they can get those text messgaes/call logs and hold those people scrubbing the republicans accountable.

Hasn’t it been explained that multiple copies exist outside of what the DOJ has?
Onefortheteem on
Yeah no shit. This was never going to damage him.
anditurnedaround on
I’m sure. If you ask for evidence of something and get a lot of push back and no, then finally, sure here it all is, it should at least be suspect.
Even a gf/bf would suspect the other of erasing or changing data if they wouldn’t turn over their phone for a long time and suddenly said, have at it. You probably wouldn’t even bother to look.

No shit

Replace with: Bill “Bubba” Clinton

“We made 15,000 replacements. Do you want to search the rest of the document?”
Most-Artichoke6184 on
It’s impossible for them to get away with it because first of all, you cannot do that without leaving a trace. Second of all, so many people would need to be involved that they could never keep it a secret.
ranchoparksteve on
Trump’s concealment is a lost cause. The Epstein Estate has all the emails and hasn’t been objecting to data requests. This is how we know so much already.
GatewayArcher on
I wish the drafters/sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act would have included provisions allowing for *in camera* review of the Govt’s redactions to ensure they are not simply redacting names of Republicans, friends of Trump, & GOP donors. Presumably any individual redactions could be challenged through the normal FOIA process but that would take waaaay too long.
Box_of_rodents on
Teflon Don strikes again. This is why he suddenly flipped his position to being ok now to have them released because the version being released has only now just been scrubbed of any incriminating evidence against him and his cronies.
PhiloLibrarian on
We knew that when Trump asked Patel to remove his name from the files over the summer… do we all have short-term memory loss?
Former_Busboy518 on
Hopefully Epstein’s brother will find a concious and release what he has.

To the surprise of absolutely no one
Johnqpublic25 on
Of course they are scrubbing names from the files. The only names that should be redacted are those of the victims.
shoule79 on
It took months to redact his name from the files. He must be in them an impressive amount for it to take this long in the age of AI automation.
we_are_sex_bobomb on
I expect *worse than nothing* from these files being released.
It won’t be done in good faith, it will be done as an attempt to redirect the Epstein story away from the central character of Donald Trump and towards politically harmless scapegoats.
However I also expect more horrific details about Trump’s many escapades in pedophilia to surface because we’re just at the tip of the iceberg and the truth will out.
But that won’t happen unless people keep demanding the truth – the real truth and not Trump’s distorted fantasy version of it.

1.) we already knew this
2.) why is mark epstein still a free man?
tiggie_7 on
Why else would Trump suddenly change his mind? 3/4 of this crap is gonna be redacted for the public

Yeah, I always suspected the delay was just to give them time to get this done.

Genuinely so disheartening that maga people will not put it together that only democrats and Trump’s enemies’ names will be included and how big of a red flag that is
TheGOPisTheDeepState on
Will look like Mueller report full of redaction to hide Trump’s name. From corrupt AG Barr to Bondi, the Republican Party is a crime syndicate.
TheMagicalMatt on
It’ll be scrubbed of more than just that. They kept this under lock for over a decade. They’re going to erase anything that isn’t Bill Clinton’s name, including witnesses and accomplices.
cecepoint on
The exact cause of the delay tactics to release them

Surprising no one. Trump even said that it was a Democrat problem.

No shit, every Republican doing a giant 180 in the last few days should have been a massive hint.

hopefully those women fill in the blanks. Just pass that list to Ro Khanna and let him drop actual names on the House floor.

How is it that nobody working at the DOJ blows the whistle on this? I guess their loyalty tests worked and Justice is dead in America.

Only Republican in it will be Thomas Massie once the files are scrubbed lol

So it’s a democrat hoax with only democrat names. Got it.

Of course. No other explanation for the complete 180 since last week
gdex86 on
We all did. Fuck James O’Keefe of all people released a video of an acting director in the DoK saying they’d release a sanitized version that only had center left and liberal names in it.
mattb1982likes_stuff on
Naawww really? No way! Surely that has nothing to do with Trump suddenly endorsing the release… weird!
malakon on
if they redact R’s and not D’s that seems somehow illegal. Not that that will make squat different to Trump and the rest of them.
