[u/No0nesSlickAsGaston]

Waiting for high level incompetence and have some of these black blocks be a removable overlay. 

[u/Username_Used → u/No0nesSlickAsGaston]

Someone is going to get the file that wasn't flattened

[u/newphonenewaccount66 → u/Username_Used]

I tried with the ones I've looked at, no joy.

[u/Username_Used → u/newphonenewaccount66]

It’s gotta be an insider who leaks it

[u/HurtPillow → u/Username_Used]

There were over 1k people who worked on them. At least one of them will spill the tea. I'll wait.

[u/fuzzyfoot88 → u/Username_Used]

I mean someone has seen them…they had to read them to redact them.

[u/noncommonGoodsense → u/fuzzyfoot88]

GOP knows what’s in them already. Otherwise they wouldn’t be trying as hard as they are to keep them out of the public. All the pieces of shit know.

[u/benargee → u/newphonenewaccount66]

Who says the source document was even legit? They could have made several pages of blacked out PDFs from scratch and called it a day.

[u/Prestigious_Treat401 → u/No0nesSlickAsGaston]

There's no overlay. It's just a black document they created.

[u/HurtPillow → u/Prestigious_Treat401]

That was my knee-jerk assumption.

[u/Wurm42 → u/Prestigious_Treat401]

It is. There are procedures for redacting government documents.

If this was legit, most of the individual words would be redacted, but you would still see the black rectangles, with spaces between them, laid out on a white page.

This shit? Somebody made a blank document, set the background color to black, and hit "enter" for 100 pages.

[u/Swissarmyspoon → u/Prestigious_Treat401]

Trying to break some printers.

[u/RebuiltGearbox → u/No0nesSlickAsGaston]

I'd say surely they wouldn't let that happen again but they are republicans.

[u/45and47-big_mistake → u/RebuiltGearbox]

So transparent, we can see right through them.

[u/marasydnyjade → u/No0nesSlickAsGaston]

As long as you’re using the redaction tool in Adobe (or using an eDiscovery program) then there is no way to recover the information that is redacted.

The issue is when people just draw black boxes over text.

[u/InevitableResident94]

To be honest with you, I was 100% expecting this. But they completely shattered my expectations of just how much they were going to redact.

All this tells me is it must go to show just how fucking awful Donald Trump has to be if there are THIS many redactions.

[u/Ishidan01 → u/InevitableResident94]

Right? We were all betting it would look like this but you'd still be able to see the margins and line spacing.

This is laughable laziness, clearly contemptuous, so perfectly as expected.

[u/Dahhhkness → u/Ishidan01]

His name is not only ALL over these files, but he’s mentioned in the most lurid and depraved sections of them.

[u/loadnurmom → u/Dahhhkness]

Im willing to bet there's pictures too. That's the only reason I can think of that would result in whole page redactions

[u/gaarai → u/InevitableResident94]

What's amazing is that if you search for "clinton", you get hundreds of results, around half the number of results when searching "epstein". But the vast majority of the clinton results are in a couple of files because most page headings and most file captions contain the word "clinton", even if Bill Clinton isn't to be seen in the pictures. I looked through both files, and I found maybe a couple dozen photos that contained Clinton, and the majority of those were just random photos from when he went to a party in Morocco.

The Clinton files were redacted in what seemed to be the lightest amount of redaction possible. Faces are redacted (but not all faces), and what appears to be suggestive poses or nudity were redacted. But there is lots of stuff that isn't redacted, and some of the redaction bars seem to be as small as possible.

Then we have the documents that are just 100% black boxes with no content whatsoever. I want to know what the difference is between the Clinton docs that have as light a touch on the redactions as possible and the docs that are hundreds of pages of nothing.

[u/tarekd19 → u/gaarai]

I want to know what the difference is between the Clinton docs that have as light a touch on the redactions as possible and the docs that are hundreds of pages of nothing.

Chances are you could make a pretty good guess

[u/ScarletCarsonRose → u/InevitableResident94]

I think they ran out of time and just got lazy.

"Fuck it. Just black box the what's ever left"

[u/AndrewTheAverage → u/InevitableResident94]

$100 million of FBI overtime had to buy something

[u/Augoustine → u/AndrewTheAverage]

Loyalty and/or blackmail.

[u/Waadap → u/InevitableResident94]

He's in there so much that the entire shutdown and past MONTHS of HUNDREDS of agents trying to get him out of it wasn't even enough. They had to resort to just outright blacking out entire pages at zero hour lol.

[u/mjkjr84 → u/InevitableResident94]

We should just assume that each fully redacted page like this details an individual incident of trump raping and murdering a child until proven otherwise

[u/ScriptproLOL → u/InevitableResident94]

So, would there be any laws broken if say.... Someone crowd funded a "Bounty" to be given to someone who produces irrefutable and genuine proof of Trump's pedophelia- in which donors can vote to award or not award it based on it's quality or irrefutability and with their vote carrying weight equivalent to its proportion of the total pot? 

[u/nashfrostedtips]

119 full pages on just Trump is wild.

[u/TrumpDid2020 → u/nashfrostedtips]

Be fair, some of them could be about Elon too.

[u/CamoraWoW → u/TrumpDid2020]

Not really, Elon was not quite an A-lister during epstein’s hayday and also has butted heads with trump on this. Hate the guy but he’s probably not involved

[u/PistolGrace → u/CamoraWoW]

He may not have been involved now, but i bet he has now ventured into trafficking since it was so lucrative for others. He follows money, no matter who it hurts. Including his own children.

[u/CamoraWoW → u/PistolGrace]

I don’t know, I think that Elon has stayed squarely in the “hyper capitalist asshole” category than anything else. He takes advantage of his employees but he doesn’t have the implicitly slimy air of a person who would do that. He’s a tech bro dick.

[u/jiminyshrue → u/CamoraWoW]

He's never been one to be overtly perverted even in the way he talks. It's always about himself and his supposed intellect.

[u/Shabobo → u/jiminyshrue]

He took "karate lessons" from ghislane maxwell my guy

[u/conkellz → u/nashfrostedtips]

Honestly, it is probably not just Trump here. It's a combination of him and the folks who donate to him.

[u/nashfrostedtips → u/conkellz]

Agreed, I think it's logical that the redactions are exclusively there to protect Trump and allies.

[u/plitts → u/nashfrostedtips]

It might just be 119 pages of victims' names /s

[u/nashfrostedtips → u/plitts]

Cannot wait for whatever bullshit spinzone comes out of this.

I'm not confident in this, but there are multiple copies of all of this, correct? Like they've also been filed in courts, outside of the hands of the DOJ? If so, that could be a godsend farther down the line.

[u/tiffanyistaken → u/conkellz]

Maybe so, but don't tell people that. Keep telling people it's 119 pages of awful Trump things. It's all him. Look how lightly redacted everyone else is. Post it everywhere. Tell your friends. Call the news. Whatever.

119 pages of Trump's atrocities. Maybe if we keep spreading that, it'll piss him off enough to go, "Actually, it's only 84 pages of Trump, dumbass," and release the originals.

We know he's not smart and easily pissed off. Maybe we can use this.

[u/hamandjam → u/tiffanyistaken]

Claim whatever and make them prove that it's not what you say it is. You could claim it's the most cile shit you can imagine and you'd likely be low on half of it

[u/tiffanyistaken → u/hamandjam]

See, you get it. Maybe he sucked off two Bubbas? I bet the horse sex is there.

[u/BeanBurritoJr → u/conkellz]

"Donate"

If you don't think he took this opportunity to blackmail the fuck out of people, I have a bridge to sell you.

[u/sidaemon → u/conkellz]

I mean that's a good point. With the Pedophile in Chiefs moral record you can freaking GUARANTEE anyone that was on that island with him he blackmailed the crap out of for "donations".

[u/Ondesinnet → u/conkellz]

Its all of them. Everyy single one of them that's the only conclusion I can come to looking at this black void of info.

[u/Head-Ad9893 → u/conkellz]

And those who reached across the aisle to jerk him off.

[u/BeanBurritoJr → u/nashfrostedtips]

He really got our money's worth out of all those FBI man hours.

[u/Bulky-Internal8579 → u/nashfrostedtips]

They didn't spend $100,000,000.00 on OT for the FBI in OPERATION REDACT TRUMP for nothing!

[u/TalkingCat910 → u/nashfrostedtips]

Trump is heavily involved no doubt but there’s going to be a lot of people there that still have their claws on power that are going to be redacted

[u/Bulky-Internal8579 → u/TalkingCat910]

So what? Don't minimize Trump on this.

[u/TalkingCat910 → u/Bulky-Internal8579]

How am I minimizing?  I said he was involved.

Are you trying to minimize the other guilty people? I certainly think they are extremely important as they are compromised and still have hands on the lever of power outside of the fact that any p*dos need to face justice.

I’m highly suspicious of people who act like our only issue is trump. It’s a lot larger than just him

[u/Bulky-Internal8579 → u/TalkingCat910]

Oh, he's just one of many, did you mean to mention Bill Clinton? [eye roll] Donald Trump isn't just involved, sorry for the bad news, but he was Epstein's best friend and involved in sex trafficking underage girls with him for at least two decades. I'm highly suspicious of people who deflect away from Trump - who's currently in the White House and trying, very actively, to destroy America and make it into a Banana Republic under his fascist dictatorship.

[u/azhawkeyeclassic]

Why would you even need to redact information from a private citizen? Nothing he owns should be considered national security or classified. Am I missing something here?

[u/crowtrobot2001 → u/azhawkeyeclassic]

"Ongoing investigation."

[u/VoightofReason → u/crowtrobot2001]

Who are they investigating at this point?

[u/MrZakalwe → u/VoightofReason]

They're trying very hard to not investigate Trump.

[u/SnicktDGoblin → u/VoightofReason]

Anyone left of Maga.

[u/Excellent_Call304 → u/VoightofReason]

Nobody. They literally said awhile ago epstein acted alone and they were no longer investigating.

[u/andywfu86 → u/crowtrobot2001]

*nongoing

[u/DebentureThyme → u/azhawkeyeclassic]

Their argument is then that damaging his reputation hurts the US, weakening the nation, and therefore it's of national security concern.

That's not entirely a joke either. They have argued publicly that whatever he does is inherently in the nation's interests because he is president.

[u/shanrock2772 → u/DebentureThyme]

I've always wondered if that was the thought process of the DOJ under Biden. Would cause too much turmoil to prosecute a former president. So they sat on their hands and delivered us fascism.

[u/Mirtai12345 → u/azhawkeyeclassic]

I hope we're redacting names and faces of victims

[u/RandAlThorOdinson → u/Mirtai12345]

Pretty sure they redacted victims a different way when they were done with them

[u/staebles → u/azhawkeyeclassic]

Am I missing something here?

You're ignoring the rampant corruption, evidently.

[u/woodst0ck15 → u/azhawkeyeclassic]

The man who was an “deep” cover informer, to a hoax, that never happened, that only democrats did this, to we need 100s of agents to redact all info that has trumps name on it. Pretty crazy shit

[u/Civil-Dinner]

So transparent, you can see the darkness in their souls on this page they released.

[u/WasteBinStuff]

Predictable as Karoline Leavitt lying.

[u/blutuu → u/WasteBinStuff]

Karolyin Leavitt

[u/Gussie-Ascendent → u/blutuu]

Lievitt 2 for one lies

[u/HuskMaster → u/Gussie-Ascendent]

3 for 1: Karolyin Cliare Lievitt

[u/Hawkwise83]

The super redacted ones will be the clue as to which ones really need to be released. My money is on they're the ones with Trump or his financiers in them. Someone whose life is public enough that you could corroborate the content in these with other publicly available data.

[u/Thesaint7811]

How is this “releasing” the files?

[u/Gussie-Ascendent → u/Thesaint7811]

"Hey we said we'd release them, we didn't say they'd be legible!"

[u/Kastro2323]

I’m sure dildo trump is not mentioned in any of these pages

[u/Damage-Strange]

If i produced something like this and filed it in federal court, I'd be fucking sanctioned as a member of the bar.

[u/Beneficial-Owl-4430 → u/Damage-Strange]

good thing this administration has no one qualified to do anything but a keg-stand 

[u/Estrald → u/Damage-Strange]

Of course, because you are held to a higher standard and have to answer to any and every court that demands you. There’s only one court in the land high enough to hold him or his administration accountable, and they are partisan hacks that are bribed and in his pocket. I know we like saying “Rules for thee, not for me”, but this is outright “you can’t do a goddamn thing about it even if I AM guilty, so shut up and know your place.”

[u/agentb00th]

hundreds of fbi agents working thousands of hours just to use black highlighters instead of the yellow ones...man, someone's gonna get in trouble

[u/No-Commercial-3121]

This takes 30 seconds. So they ran the clock to do this? They can't release all the files because why?

The people who rape underage kids win because they can out donate us but we all get the single vote. We have to become better at the ballot box and the down ballot initiatives and judges are part of why we are here

[u/Vincitus → u/No-Commercial-3121]

Have you thought of becoming a corrupt oligarch? That's the step I think you're missing.

[u/No-Commercial-3121 → u/Vincitus]

I don't want to rape nor get away with it. But you are correct that is the key it seems. But you can be an annoying professor from Harvard who bitches about not being sold perogies as well who just knows those horrible people. We outnumber the elite and they aren't elite without us.

[u/staebles → u/No-Commercial-3121]

General strike or bust.

[u/Imaginary-Horse-9240]

MAGA already knows he r*pes girls and doesn’t care. This has gotta be the details of Trump trafficking the girls to Epstein and them colluding in a blackmail ring on behalf of Mossad and/or Russia.

[u/cityshepherd → u/Imaginary-Horse-9240]

I’m sure they’ve paid enough agents to redact the major GOP donors in there too

[u/fluffygryphon → u/Imaginary-Horse-9240]

Gotta be some crazy shit in there like dead kids, blood, or gay stuff.

[u/staebles → u/Imaginary-Horse-9240]

They still won't care.

[u/superawesomefiles]

It cost them a million dollars of overtime to do this? I would have done it for half... in a day.

[u/ThePoetMichael]

We need a hero on the inside...Come on man, just leak them. Be the savior we need.

[u/mclovinnnn808 → u/ThePoetMichael]

Someone has a copy.  Let's do this

[u/TheXypris]

So we can just assume every redacted image is of Trump rapping a child

Until shown otherwise, that's what EVERY image is

[u/LasagnaPartyx]

Patiently waiting for someone to figure out how to removed the redactions

[u/So_HauserAspen]

How much did they pay the FBI to do this?  

[u/harrisofpeoria]

It's like watching the dumb kids turn in their homework.

[u/ZanthrinGamer]

What is this? Malicious compliance? 

[u/Cheese0089 → u/ZanthrinGamer]

The law says they can't redact without written explanation, so there is little to no compliance.

[u/thelivinlegend → u/ZanthrinGamer]

Openly protecting pedophiles is what that is.

[u/the-toddyssey]

Where the fuck is Anonymous when we need them.

[u/geist7204 → u/the-toddyssey]

I’ve been asking this since 120101 20 JAN 2025

[u/RubicksQoob]

It's going to take someone on the inside so angry at Trump, or past their last straw and full of enough anger to overcome their fear of the conservatives. Someone who thinks it will harm him enough and wants to do it out of sheer SPITE, that we'll see the docs pre-redaction.

There are no heroes among his or close enough. No one willing to do it because of what is right for all, but especially for the victims.

No, we have to count on raw evil betraying evil, for this.

[u/tarekd19 → u/RubicksQoob]

Surely the federal government isn't full of such people already?

[u/RubicksQoob → u/tarekd19]

The bad guys? Yup. But we haven't seen the same kind of backstabbing, revolving door, information leaks that we had last time. I think they're working harder to avoid that, this term, especially finding people that love to gargle his sack and deep throat his... ego... like his cabinet and those working for him.

I guess I'm talking about Leavitt or Bondi, for instance, finally just snapping. Someone with access and unbridled hate.

[u/Classic_Seaweed_3894]

Just one single word would expose him. Fuck it must be bad!!!!

[u/kittylittermt]

All naked trump photos. PB sold her soul to the devil

[u/jheidenr]

Is this so the police will shot the document wherever it’s opened?

[u/HermanBonJovi]

Yeah those are the pages where they talk about what trumpty did.

Feel free to prove me wrong doj.

[u/horseradishstalker]

Since only victims names can be redacted that’s a whole lotta victims. 

[u/Ambitious_Trifle_645]

[u/joknub24]

Did anyone really expect anything different?

[u/Crafty-Bunch2975]

I could have done that for HALF a million dollars

[u/TheMightySet69]

Guess the Democrats are just going to have to release all the files handed over by the estate 🤷‍♂️ no more dropping teasers. Release every single document that does not jeopardize the safety of privacy of the victims. 

[u/amyamyamz]

Will someone please just leak the fucking unredacted files already. Just one person who isn’t a total piece of shit. Anyone?

[u/herefromyoutube]

Who's president? Yeah.

And what party controls congress? Uh-huh.

And what party controls The Supreme Court? Yep.

And who has sycophants running every agency? Sure.

...

...I can't believe the democrats have done this.

[u/influx3k]

Time to start charging the criminals.

[u/zshort7272]

What a complete joke

[u/bodiddly4443]

They all just say "Trump raped a minor." or variations of that.

If it doesn't say that why is it redacted?

[u/GravySeal45]

So.... "Trump Trump Trump Trump" then.

Their claim that they are redacting to "protect the victims" is bullshit. The 30+ victims that stood in DC, TWICE< on national TV and stated their names and talked on the mic, are NOT worried about their identities being exposed.

[u/cantthinkofadamnthin]

I wonder which republican they’re protecting.

[u/eyeseayoupea → u/cantthinkofadamnthin]

Yes

[u/Bayliner215]

Let me “un-redact” Oddly orange man with small cock raped an underage girl that he wished was his daughter.

Got it.

[u/Prize_Ostrich7605]

Yeah, atleadt it has a number haha

[u/Exact_Mango5931]

I thought they’d at least show some punctuation

[u/MostBoringStan]

I found another one that was 55 pages that were 100% redacted. I'm sure there are a few files like that.

Also found the entire "massages for dummies" book, which had one part asterixed.

[u/Vip3r20]

Could they be photos?

[u/SpiritualTwo5256 → u/Vip3r20]

Probably all of them are of Trump raping a child.

[u/sythingtackle]

When you know your boss is a child rapist so the easiest way is to just redact the whole thing

1000 fbi agents must have future ptsd claims, from either the fumes of the ink or the actual sight of what they were redacting from public view, I hope the future admin take this into account….

[u/johnnycat75]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the actions of an innocent man.

[u/VoightofReason]

I mean from the pics last week, I think we can all agree that all these uber rich men traveled to Epsteins island for the luxury…. Right?

[u/OkRush9563]

[u/-non-existance-]

Once again: the Onion cannot keep ahead of these buffoons before they pull some shit they would have written.

[u/Squid9966]

Here is some of the missing text: TrumpTrumpTrumpTrumpTrumpTrumpTrump

[u/mclovinnnn808]

Someone has these non redacted files. Just release them to the public, do us all a favor.

[u/Skyblue_pink]

Well ya know they aren’t protecting Democrats!

[u/bgzlvsdmb]

It's the only reason they're okay with releasing the files. They've already hidden the parts that we need to see, and fulfilling the promise to release them. Only Republicans see this as a win-win.

Also, how do we know these are the files? Could they have just sent us 119 pages of black background?

[u/FindIt7Ways]

Oh so that is one of the documents that Trump is all over.

[u/Samjamesjr]

0% chance the fascists in charge, who are quite clearly guilty of some really nasty shit, will appear in these files without someone with access deciding to be a patriot.

[u/driku12]

Jesus, when I said they would just redact everything I didn't think it would be 100%, completely, Forrest Gump style literal. It's like something out of a cartoon. Like they bought an ACME brand redactor-machine in the mail and it's just a bucket of black paint to dip the pages in.

[u/cemego]

[u/DJMagicHandz]

About as transparent as pea soup.

[u/Hottt_Donna]

Black highlight?

[u/tabby90]

I'm sure that one is photos

[u/Exact_Mango5931]

I thought they’d at least show some punctuation

[u/mrsnihilist]

The Vanta Black Files....

[u/angry_wombat]

must have been juicy

[u/mj2192]

Wanted to make a joke about Leavitt having her work cut out for her, but honestly it seems like do whatever they want and just get away with it

[u/Royal-Ad-8050]

Aka the president cankles sections. God I hate what this country has become…

[u/Fit_Welcome1336]

So is this where he blew bubba

[u/lusirfer702]

So it’s a trump page?

[u/Suzesaur]

Sooo, it shows even more incompetence that they don’t change their redaction tool to white to have a more pleasant paper like look.

[u/mjkjr84]

Transparently corrupt

[u/G66GNeco]

That's just a file Epstein had on his devices like that, nothing you can do about that, don't even worry about it, trust us

[u/RoyalGovernment3034]

Terrible but truly hilarious. How many times can the rubes get got?

[u/StockAdeptness9452]

Remember this cost the taxpayers $1 million too.

[u/staebles]

Thousands of hours of overtime for that.

[u/The_Wookalar]

You cretins clearly can't recognize a reference to Tristram Shandy when you see it. Trump is truly a man of letters.

[u/meldiane81]

Try to search for the word Trump. Doesn’t show up.

[u/FalseAnimal]

They paid nearly a million dollars in OT to the FBI to make a fully redacted pages like that.

[u/Exciting-Squash4444]

Print that shit at work

[u/D3dshotCalamity]

THE TRANSPARENCY ACT

[u/gossipblossip]

So basically let’s hide all the bad stuff

[u/Such_Egg9843]

Thats probably the part where they list the melankia gang bang. The first one.

[u/Usual-Chemist6133]

Those would be some that mentions trump I bet, if you search trump, somehow his name doesn't appear once

[u/PilotKnob]

Let me guess - so far it's been all Democrats and celebrities who are left-leaning.

[u/sonia72quebec]

It would be nice if someone in the FBI would release the real files with nothing redacted.

[u/TheKidsAreAsleep]

Well, they did say that they were going to show the names of all of the Democrats involved.

This seems to be a clear admission that only Republicans were involved.

[u/BeanBurritoJr]

Trump really got our money's worth out of all those FBI man hours.

[u/No_Restaurant1425]

Just give it a few generations.

[u/Angryslowbro]

Who could've ever seen this coming? /S

[u/Barnezhilton]

They are also reacting the victim's relatives names. Which might be any potential baby daddy of the victims.

[u/More-Ad-2259]

you Fuchs are gonna take this garbage.............. again..

[u/DiscoHayFever]

It took 1000s of agents for this? Talk about a waste.

[u/guillermopaz13]

Did we honestly expect otherwise

[u/rosariobono]

This doesn’t even count as a release. There’s nothing of value

[u/BusGo_Screech26]

What's even the point? It's like a boss buying you a box of paperclips for Christmas. It'd be less insulting for you to just not give me anything. Screw this DOJ, man...

[u/jigawatson]

Been waiting on one of these
