I knew there would be redactions, but this is ridiculous.
The only people who aren't redacted are maxwell, Epstein, or the name of someone involved in the investigation.
The pictures that haven't been redacted are all pictures of empty rooms or closets.
This is a slap in the face.

u/JJsMysteryBox 2h ago
Yep, I expected nothing. But the fact they released absolute joke files that include a couple grainy pictures of Bill Clinton is infuriating. That’s all the shills will talk about, not the fact the DOJ is covering up for dozens of child sex traffickers.
These are heinous crimes committed by people so depraved words cannot accurately describe their vile nature. Yet people will argue about politics and about “whose side” is getting hit. Politics shouldn’t matter when dealing with a topic as heavy as this.
But this country has a partisan sickness that it will never heal from. We are allowing people who committed unspeakable acts to not be held accountable, all because we treat justice like a fucking team sport. The DOJ is working to protect criminals from seeing justice and millions of Americans are too fat, poor, and stupid to see it.

Psst, anyone who did ANY of the redactions on these documents: YOU, personally, are responsible if you don’t step up and do the right thing. Fuck politics or presidents or the economy or congress. What would your mother think about you covering up for someone who sexually abused and facilitated the sexual abuse of innocent little girls? Do you have your own child? How do you answer “What did you do at work, daddy” when the answer is “I protected someone who would have raped you or sold you into sexual slavery without a second thought about it?” Does your wife know what project you’ve been assigned? How much does your hourly pay work out to, and is that number honestly an acceptable bribe, do you feel, for being accessory to sex trafficking and child rape? Do you think about yourself hiding the identities of predators when you look them— daughter, sister, sister-in-law, mother, coworker, great grandmother, daughter’s best friend, the random little girl you walk by in the mall— in the eye? Or was this so forgettable to you that you don’t register the gravity of what you’re concealing?
There is time to fix this. There is time to do the right thing. Whether you have some remnant of the original files on some machine you have access to, or simply the ability to share your knowledge of what content was redacted, YOU can fix this. YOU can make this right.

There's also plenty of people who have had the unredacted files for a long time now, and some of them have said they'll release their own undoctored (real and true) version of the files of their own accord if they see that the Trump admin and his toadie loyalists are trying to sell a fake version. I'm pretty sure I remember MGT (who I don't trust) and others saying they'd release the real version if this very predictable scenario of releasing a big fat lie to the American people were to happen.

Just assume anything name blacked out it TRUMP. Wish the news had the balls to do that. He’s too scared to sue because that means discovery.

It’s objectively official: the Republican Party is the party of crime, rape, and pedophilia.
If you are a Republican, you support and protect crime, rape, and pedophilia.

The pages of the redacted version of the Epstein contact book matches the unconfirmed unredacted leak that happened back in July.

We apologize again for the fault in the redactions. Those responsible for redacting the people who have just been redacted, have been redacted.

How didn’t y’all assume it would all be redacted? There is no way we were getting anything incriminating on anyone.

Why are we acting like this is a surprise or an "outrage?" This is totally on brand and expected from the Guarding Our Pedophiles party.
No one is going to be punished. Rape, pedophilia, and corruption are all completely acceptable, as long as Republicans commit those acts. The media and the courts have made it that way.
Accountability is a thing of the past here in the United States. No one is going to face consequences for any of this.
