* The Justice Department released thousands of new records on Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, but at least 550 pages in the documents are fully redacted, CBS News has found.
* The newly released files included photos of several prominent people in Epstein’s orbit, images from his homes and investigative records that detail disturbing allegations against the late sex offender. But the heavy redactions in many of the records have drawn criticism from Democrats and some Republicans, as the department defends its handling of the files.
* One series of three consecutive documents — totaling 255 pages — is entirely redacted, with each page covered by a black box. A fourth 119-page document labeled “Grand Jury-NY” is also entirely redacted. It’s unclear what proceedings it stemmed from, but the document listed immediately before it is a transcript in which a prosecutor asks a grand jury in 2020 to consider evidence for a superseding indictment of Epstein’s convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Why is anybody surprised? Did someone actually think it was all over for Trump, and everything would go back to normal?

Did anyone actually believe that this wouldn’t be the case and what is released is actually representative of what they contain?
From what I have seen Impartiality isn’t big in the US justice system and getting to the bottom of this shit-show isn’t front of mind for those in control.

It’s safe to assume that every redacted line mentions Trump or one of his buddies. If all these pages mentioned “democrats” you can be sure his administration wouldn’t have redacted it.

Trump – There we released the files, now shut up about them!

Interested to see how the press secretary somehow turns this on the democrats and the press.

So we can assume Trump raped 500 different girls, raped 1 girl 500 times, or some combination of the foregoing.

Well the way I see it, Until they are released unredacted. The only logical conclusion is that “Trump is mentioned on 500 pages of the Epstein files”
I will wait to be proven wrong.
And because someone always inevitably brings up tribalism. I don’t care what political alignment they are and my own politics don’t come in to play. Offending pedophiles should be in prison full stop. Male, Female, Republican, Democrat or otherwise

500 pages are *real bad* for Trump or people directly connected to him. Got it.

Doubtless all the ones featuring Trump raping kids.

We knew they would be.
Epstein said Trump scared him and was the worst man he knew. This is a child rapist who hung out with many other child rapists. No way are we going to get to hear what happened.

Well this was to be expected so we’ve at least 500 pages referencing the obese orange peice of shit then.

Jesus, promising transparency and then dumping hundreds of fully blacked-out pages is a blatant failure of leadership. This is less like protecting victims and more like protecting powerful people and completely undermines any claim that this administration is serious about accountability

“Why is the Trump DOJ protecting Bill Clinton” should be the narrative if the want to say Bill Clinton was like the only person incriminated.

Its crazy that there have been more pictures of Epstein and Trump posted on r /pics than there were in the released documents. That is how shady the Justice Department under Bondi is.

they probably consider the victims as those that were part of epsteins scheme and redacted so many famous people, people in power, ceos, people all over the world. tech companies and so on so that they would be safe and kept in power. this was there plan all along

Simply: Jail Bondi until every page is released. Every document and all source material. She is in violation of the law. Put her in jail.

All these people covering for pedophiles should become co-conspirators in the future if our country is able to recover from the Trump regime.
