      I haven’t seen anyone talk about how that’s only a win for the evidence tamperers if there are no clean copies in the hands of other actors - and it’s absurd to imagine there’s not. All they’ve done is put themselves in the power of another (likely to be a state actor), and probably one they were already vulnerable to, if I’m any guess.

    So the Democrats will get better by filtering and the Republicans will stay bad. Brilliant strategy to get the Dems back in power.

    As I’ve said before we are probably going to get two versions of the Epstein files the one edited by trump that will probably be released first and the real one that will be released later when Trump is dead or out of office in some way

    You mean the 1,000 FBI agents, reported back in July, that were tasked with flagging references to Trump weren’t just making a fun Facebook style memories reel for the Orange One?

    Oh you mean Trump just saying the other day that “it’s all Democrats” in the files anyway wasn’t him essentially admitting that they removed all the Republicans from it. Gee color me shocked.

      So when he suddenly demanded the release of the files the other day, it wasn’t his characteristic humble contrition but just knowing they finished the data purge?

        What are steps we should take when this happens? I’m not directly asking you, but more the room. Like what is gonna happen if he releases the files and only Dems are on it? That’s what got me worried.

            Why are they not doing that right now? That’s what I’ve been asking myself since Epstein didn’t kill himself.

              Sounds like a self-answering question. It’s still not safe for them, which is why they’ve been trying to have Congress to force a release. However, some of the vicitims say they are ready to name names of they have no choice.

    We can’t have expected anything different. Neither party wants the truth out there, so they’ll trade alternating versions of “the truth”, and pretend to argue over it, in order to hide the real truth.

    I think it depends on how much the implicated billionaires and some of the smarter Republicans are involved in editing the files.

    If the Trump admin is doing it alone, I bet that this redaction will be completed so sloppily and incompetently, there will be enough crumbs and hints leftover that we’ll be able to paint a picture to see more on how Trump and Republicans are involved.

        Some of it may just be due to circumstances too. They were working nights and weekends tracking in an excel spreadsheet that was accidentally available to other agents.

        So yeah like this wasn’t done slowly and methodically.

      I’m guessing the web of people involved is becoming difficult to manage. Like Bill Gates calls up and says hey don’t forget to remove my name. And then Bezos calls. And so on. If the billionaires start to become unhappy, I predict it won’t be another kid who couldn’t make the high school rifle club that takes the next shot. It won’t be maxipad on the ear week. But unless they redact like 99% of it, yeah it will be sloppy and fully of fuckups.

    The redacting has already occurred when Trump tasked the Justice Department with it, now it’s in too many hands to be edited by one person. Senate committees and judges. The redacting that did happen was obviously not very thorough or else they were busy erasing really bad shit. Don’t look for the guys Trump hired to have been very good at their jobs.

    Trump’s actually weak for once, this is one of several spears in his soft disgusting underbelly. Redistricting is not looking good all of a sudden, Texas’s map was rejected but California’s might yet stand, oops! Self inflicted wound there. So now he’s suddenly being perceived as a lame duck because, how’s he supposed to get a third term without Congress on his side?

    Once they feel like the ground is soft, his entire party will run to a better camp… notice how other leaders are setting up big tents right now… his only threat is his ability to primary people, but that’ll be gone in an instant when public perception slides out of his control. Trump is trying to stay ahead of it right now, playing it the usual way.

    This article is just Jeff’s brother trying to get his 15 minutes of fame. Bet he’s got a book deal brewing. I do like that the media is showing this idea to people tho, lots of idiots read People.

    Tl;dr I am not worried about it so much, Trump’s undoing may be right at hand.

      And Trump will immediately lose power a year from now unless he can find a way to change the Constitution to let himself serve a third term, which I don’t think is very likely, and also he’s old so no one really thinks he’s going to live that long.

      So I’m interested to see how long these sick bastards drag this process out.

      He approved them because they are now part of an active investigation he asked Bondi to open last week. Can’t release investigation evidence to the public
