US Justice Department releases new tranche of Epstein files

[u/Kameronm]

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-justice-department-releases-new-tranche-epstein-files-2025-12-23/

[u/Trance354]

Former Kinkos employee, production manager. I've seen millions of PDFs.

Sometimes when you save a document to PDF, the layers aren't flattened. Someone might select the underlying text, hit the "copy" shortcut, open a word document, and paste the contents into the word format.

If you print to file, or print to PDF, this doesn't happen. We just need to thank whichever staffer did this.

[u/texasRugger → u/Trance354]

This is why authoritarian regimes tend to self implode. All the competent people are gone, all that's left are loyalists and disgruntled staff with less and less to lose.

[u/cobyjim → u/texasRugger]

This is a great answer. I hope this trend continues with the trump administration

[u/Detective-Crashmore- → u/cobyjim]

I just hope they do it in a way that doesn't completely cripple the nation for the next century. The globe is littered with once beautiful or powerful nations reduced to impoverished hellscapes because of one man with a tiny dick.

[u/Beard_o_Bees → u/Detective-Crashmore-]

Very much this.

Even if we somehow managed to full-on hit the brakes and stop it cold today - the amount of damage, just from an organizational perspective - is enormous.

'Glass half-full' - I guess since we're going to have to rebuild so many systems and institutions, it'll be an opportunity to make them more tyrant resistant? Idk. Trying to find the silver lining.

[u/AlanMercer → u/Trance354]

Just for everyone, flattening layers is a basic operation on the software that is being used to redact these documents. It's the kind of thing you teach to assistants and entry-level employees.

If this is a person who has ever handled these kinds of documents before, they would know to do this. Mishandling this task at a law office of any kind would be potentially catastrophic.

Edit: Adding my comment from below before it gets lost.

This could expose the names and personal details of victims, which would be inexcusable.

If the redactions were done correctly in those instances, but botched everywhere else, that would be a sign this is intentional.

Let's all keep fingers crossed for the vulnerable people here.

[u/didnotbuyWinRar → u/AlanMercer]

Or...it was intentional.

[u/HumongousBelly → u/didnotbuyWinRar]

Work of a hero trying to expose the pedos?

[u/FiskyBlack → u/HumongousBelly]

Here's hoping, if it is hope they don't get caught

[u/tysk-one → u/HumongousBelly]

This thought made me happy for a very short period after reading it. Thanks for this perspective

[u/AlanMercer → u/didnotbuyWinRar]

Potentially this could expose the names and personal details of victims.

If the redactions were performed correctly in those instances, but botched everywhere else, that would be a sign this was intentional.

[u/DaoFerret → u/AlanMercer]

It could also just be a sign of different people working on different documents with different skill levels/training.

[u/LemonScentedDespair → u/AlanMercer]

My experience working in the military says theres like a 50/50 shot that the failed redaction was one or both of the following:

A) The person doing the redaction was never given an actually licensed Adobe product, therefore did not have the correct "equipment" to perform the job, but was told to do it anyway because of deadlines. And if they raised the issue at all, it was brushed off as a "well figure it out" moment.

B) The person doing the redaction did it just correctly enough to pass under their boss's ire, but knew someone out there would try to copy/paste, and is hoping their boss didnt keep track of who was supposed to do which files. Which, with this admin, is kinda safe. They seem to lose track of these files every few weeks.

Now, that was the military, not DOJ or FBI or whoever the fuck. But it feels so familiar. I worked with a trial version of Adobe Acrobat for years because I "wasnt important enough" for the full version. A thing I used at least once a week.

[u/Sawses → u/LemonScentedDespair]

Hilariously, my company only gives the fancy version of Adobe (well, Foxit, but still) to junior employees because they know that not only will none of the seniors know how to do it, they're just going to tell us minions to do it anyhow.

B) The person doing the redaction did it just correctly enough to pass under their boss's ire, but knew someone out there would try to copy/paste, and is hoping their boss didnt keep track of who was supposed to do which files. Which, with this admin, is kinda safe. They seem to lose track of these files every few weeks.

Honestly, this could definitely be it. It's quite literally a textbook example of how to resist a tyrannical regime from the inside. Create administrative bloat, be inefficient, be incompetent. Dictatorships are usually lacking competent people, so incompetence is punished less harshly (or not at all) compared to active resistance.

[u/glubhuff → u/Sawses]

quite literally a textbook example

Yep. That textbook is the Simple Sabotage Field Manual, free on Project Gutenberg. Everyone should read it.

[u/snoogins355 → u/AlanMercer]

Never underestimate the ineptitude of the trump whitehouse and some of the people they have empowered. Perhaps a smart person did it on purpose but my guess is covfefe

[u/DustyVinegar → u/AlanMercer]

I’d like to think that the competent people got fired during DOGE purges and the shutdown and it will be the lack of a functional bureaucratic apparatus that undoes this administration one way or another.

[u/party_benson → u/Trance354]

Fun fact, many offices ended their Adobe subscriptions to fight waste.  Also, they fired, RIFed, DRPed, etc many people who would have the tech savvy to redact these files properly. Oooopsie. 

[u/slackmaster2k → u/Trance354]

Acrobat also has an actual redaction feature!

[u/critterheist → u/slackmaster2k]

Ahh yes…”the nothing”

[u/No_Display_9425]

Reminder that they were legally required to release the full files last week. As long as they withhold files from the public they are in violation of the law.

[u/ohiotechie → u/No_Display_9425]

How great would it be if laws mattered?

[u/moreobviousthings → u/ohiotechie]

Congress wrote and enacted the law, and they can enforce it. If you have any republicans in Congress who represent you, you should let them know that you expect them to hold the regime accountable for acting in contempt of congress.

[u/HippyDM → u/moreobviousthings]

Problem is, if they refer charges to federal prosecutors, they have to do so in the DC district. Anyone wanna guess who runs that office?

And removal through impeachment's impossible with this Senate.

[u/Dahhhkness → u/moreobviousthings]

This is easily the single most corrupt and criminal administration in US history, even worse than Nixon, Reagan, and Harding combined. This is the ideal form of government, to Republicans.

The fact that there haven't been strikes and riots, like there would be in any other normal country if their governments did even 10% of what the Trump cabal has done, is a shameful reflection on this nation.

[u/r3dxv1rus → u/Dahhhkness]

I’m so sick of reading this. You don’t think we WANT to riot and cause a scene??? Cuz buddy there is nothing more I’d love to do than protest this administration 24/7 and push them out.

Unfortunately I wasn’t blessed with being retired or rich and am fully in the middle aged working demographic where to ensure I can just exist with the bare minimums and therefore need to make money to live.

So while yes, we Americans are stigmatized as being lazy but lemme be the first to tell you this isn’t a lazy reason, this is survival. They’re ensuring we can’t rebel by keeping us compliant via the economy. Nobody can protest and speak against you if they’re working 3 jobs and a side gig just to make it to next month.

[u/WelcomeToWitsEnd → u/r3dxv1rus]

And on top of this, other countries are not geographically or infrastructurally similar to ours. We as a people are so spread out in this nation that it is incredibly difficult for us to rally together and protest. The fact that we have had No Kings protests with millions in attendance is phenomenal — but we were spread out across all 50 states, with the majority of us so far away from the capitol that it hardly mattered to the people in power.

I’m going to say some stuff that makes it sound like our protests don’t matter, but they do matter. They unite us and empower us.

What they don’t do is have any impact on our elected officials. We can’t inspire them to change because the only numbers that matter to them are the numbers attached to dollar signs, not attendance. They are bought and paid for by billionaires and wealthy corporations. They serve money, not people.

I read a comment last night that made me so angry I couldn’t sleep for hours. It was a lot like the comment you responded to. I wrote a massive reply but it was 2am when I finished and I chose to delete it. I want to commend you for posting yours, and offer my support. We are trying, we are doing our best. We just don’t have the power the ultra wealthy do right now — We show up with our pitchforks, and they show up with guns. It’s been a steep uphill battle.

[u/The_Deku_Nut → u/WelcomeToWitsEnd]

Everyone likes to point to France as the ideal when it comes to protests and rioting, but they forget that France is basically the size of Texas.

A French riot that manages to shut down Paris grinds the country to a halt. There is no equivalent action that can be taken in the US.

[u/SwagMastaM → u/r3dxv1rus]

I fully feel this.

And beyond that, we've been holding large scale protests for MONTHS. We're not just fucking sitting idly by and letting this happen without saying or doing anything

[u/ABHOR_pod → u/SwagMastaM]

Also, unlike in France (Since people love to tell us we should protest like the French), we have a long history of our protests that actually pose a threat being responded to with gunfire.

We are not at a point yet where most people think we need to lay our lives on the line.

[u/FruitySalads → u/r3dxv1rus]

They are all expecting us to do the thing. To end it with violence. They see us doing nothing because there aren’t heads on pikes I suppose. Everyone wants the revolution to start but nobody wants to be the first to start it. This isn’t a normal administration. They are super eager to kill their own citizens for disagreeing, he wants that sweet sweet martial law. We have to wait this out a little more

[u/okyeah93 → u/Dahhhkness]

Lol I love how nothing at all is happening as far as consequences. Really goes to show how much of a sham it is

[u/TAV63 → u/ohiotechie]

It would really be great if the next AG was a pitbull and they all faced consequences.

[u/smailskid → u/No_Display_9425]

Like they give even an ounce of a shit if they break the law.

[u/CabSauce]

They're already deleting stuff. Epstein was housed with the guy that sent bombs to Democrats. The file was removed from the official site.
https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA00036505.pdf
https://www.jmail.world/drive/EFTA00036505

[u/vfdfnfgmfvsege → u/CabSauce]

The guy with the van?

[u/CabSauce → u/vfdfnfgmfvsege]

Yeah. You can find his name with a quick google search.

[u/beeman5 → u/CabSauce]

Odd that a Regional Director would take special interest in one inmate

[u/triplegerms → u/beeman5]

Not really, dude was one of the biggest national news stories. I dobut he had that many inmates making constant national headlines. 

[u/EatBaconDaily → u/CabSauce]

They are on’y allowed to redact stuff to protect the victims so clearly that bomb guy was a victim of Epstein. /s

[u/Slipknotic419 → u/CabSauce]

Access denied when trying to open that

[u/CabSauce → u/Slipknotic419]

I think it's been removed. The second link is the original download.

[u/gotfcgo → u/CabSauce]

I feel like this is part of the strategy somehow

Way too much time and money sunk into redacting to have such obvious misses 

[u/Fearless_Tutor3050]

Everyone is joking about the redactions, so I just want to share this letter from Epstein in jail talking about his shared love of teenage girls with Trump that was released with today's files.

Directly from .gov https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA00035768.pdf

[u/linksfan_ → u/Fearless_Tutor3050]

​Right Column (The beginning of the letter): ​Dear L.N. ​As you know by now, I have taken the "short route" home. ​Good luck! We shared one thing... our love & caring for young ladies and the hope they'd reach their full potential. ​Our president also shares our love of young, nubile ​Left Column (Appears to be a continuation or separate thought): ​girls! When a young beauty walked by he loved to "grab snatch," whereas we ended up snatching grab in the mess halls of the system. ​Life is unfair. ​Yours J. Epstein

[u/sfxer001 → u/linksfan_]

LN is Larry Nassar, the former doctor that raped all the Olympic gymnast minor girls.

[u/AlcibiadesTheCat → u/sfxer001]

And the soon-to-be Chief Genital Examiner and Transvestigator for the Patriot Games.

[u/jlonso → u/AlcibiadesTheCat]

Trump: WRITE THAT DOWN

[u/mosquem → u/sfxer001]

It’s like the Pedo Avengers.

[u/PriimeMeridian → u/sfxer001]

Oh my god

[u/Fried_puri → u/linksfan_]

I initially thought that “may every day be another wonderful secret” letter was just too weird to be real (though I did believe it eventually), but apparently this is just how pedos write to each other. If anything it gives even more credence to that letter. 

[u/eawilweawil → u/Fried_puri]

"Eyes Wide Shut" made everyone think that these sex pests are sophisticated and secretive about it. Turns out they just text each other about raping kids and meme about it

[u/tallgothdoll → u/eawilweawil]

Yes they do. Think of how other morally evil people normalize their extreme views and actions with friends and joke about them. That’s because it is normal to them. Some even take joy in teasing unknowing people about it. They don’t hide it remotely as much as people think. Some will even share stories of other victims with their current ones. It’s a pride point for them.

Stop giving the benefit of the doubt. If your coworker says something odd, it might be just that. Or it could be an accidental slip of their true beliefs. Don’t just think they meant something different and worded it badly.

[u/pegothejerk → u/tallgothdoll]

Something I didn’t expect to see have light shed on it was just how brazen and immune they feel about it, as evidenced most recently by considering the actual grand jury co-conspirators as the victims of the Epstein files. They are just blatantly considering these rich old rapists as the true victims.

[u/eawilweawil → u/pegothejerk]

Why wouldn't they feel immune? This has been happening for decades and nothing happened to even 1 of them. And i really doubt anything will happen to anyone of them

[u/kogmaa → u/pegothejerk]

Well, they are largely immune as everyone can see. One of them was even elected president despite existing accusations.

[u/zoinkability → u/Fried_puri]

Seems to me he may have been intentionally signaling intent to blab. Not beyond the realm of the possible that it was letters like this that led to the “suicide.”

[u/kiwikacka → u/linksfan_]

whereas we ended up snatching grab in the mess halls of the system

Can someone explain the meaning of this sentence to me? English is not my native language.

[u/Matter-o-time → u/kiwikacka]

Epstein was lamenting the fact that despite Trump committing the same crimes, Trump ended up as president while he ended up in jail.

[u/jimmytwotime → u/kiwikacka]

The mess hall is the cafeteria in prison, and it actually reads "grub" which is slang for food

[u/kiwikacka → u/jimmytwotime]

Perfect, thank you. Now it makes much more sense to me!

[u/SLUnatic85 → u/kiwikacka]

i think its "snatching grub", meaning food.

He's saying we loved to grab snatch (get girls, sexually.... grab em by the pussy... you get it...) but we ended up just snatching grub (play on words here) in the mess hall (he's in jail now, eating bad food in their mess hall).

Just my take.

[u/donut_resuscitate → u/kiwikacka]

It is "snatching grub." Grub means food. Snatching grub is an awkward way to say "eating." "Mess halls of the system" means the prison cafeterias. Thus, Epstein is saying to fellow convicted child sex offender that it is unfair that they are stuck eating prison food because their love of young beauties, while Trump who shares their passions is president.

[u/Omergad_Geddidov → u/donut_resuscitate]

I never thought that we would have to analyze pdf poetry lol.

[u/kiwikacka → u/donut_resuscitate]

Thank you! So the letter is a direct attack on Trump. I'm curious to see how the US media will spin this.

[u/FillySteveSteak → u/linksfan_]

"As you know by now, I have taken the "short route" home." Is this a reference to suicide?

[u/Whompa → u/linksfan_]

So just openly admitting to being a fucking freak.

Like a mustache twirling villain. The fuck…

[u/sheighbird29 → u/linksfan_]

L.N. = Larry Nassar… yikes

[u/Ikrit122 → u/linksfan_]

I think "snatching grab" is supposed to be "snatching grub."

Thanks for writing it all out!

[u/CaptainCastle1 → u/Fearless_Tutor3050]

LN is Larry Nassar, the MSU gymnastics doctor who molested hundreds of girls. Birds of a feather…..

[u/jimbofranks → u/CaptainCastle1]

LN is Nassar? Holy shit.

[u/coolon23 → u/CaptainCastle1]

This is insane, it’s a whole Legion of doom of rich pedos

[u/HowManyEggs2Many → u/CaptainCastle1]

It’s weird to me that Epstein would be writing what is essentially a suicide letter to Nassar. Has there ever been a known connection between the two?

[u/ymsoldier420 → u/HowManyEggs2Many]

Well, they both like fucking kids, and it seems like a pretty exclusive club, so there's that.

[u/sc0ttbeardsley → u/Fearless_Tutor3050]

Is this a note written just before his death?

[u/FnakeFnack → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

It does seem like he’s implying he’s about to kill himself before Nasser receives the letter

[u/throwraW2 → u/Fearless_Tutor3050]

Do we know who L.N. Is?

[u/linksfan_ → u/throwraW2]

Larry Nassar

[u/throwraW2 → u/linksfan_]

Gross, forgot who he was til I googled him.

[u/eawilweawil → u/throwraW2]

Larry Nassar apparently

[u/Pancakefriday → u/Fearless_Tutor3050]

Well, that’s pretty damning.

[u/Rogue_AI_Construct]

What the DOJ wrote on X two hours ago:

“Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”

The DOJ, who is supposed to work for us, is working as Trump’s personal legal team.

[u/lemonylol → u/Rogue_AI_Construct]

lol I watched the clip of this being covered by Canadian news and they were laughing that the Justice Department would ever need to make a statement like that. It is literally "don't believe your eyes and ears". Like okay, then all of it is sensationalized and untrue, and yet the DOJ is pushing claims against Clinton with the exact same evidence they say shouldn't be believed.

[u/jjcrayfish → u/lemonylol]

Although we know these statements to be ridiculous and untrue, some people, especially MAGA and Republicans, will be easily fooled and use these quotes to claim that Trump was a victim. They'll believe any manufactured BS that the White House and DOJ spews out.

[u/dookiehat → u/Rogue_AI_Construct]

pam bondi has known trump since she was 14 or so. victim turned perpetrator

[u/SomeDEGuy → u/Rogue_AI_Construct]

Yeah, the president before the 2020 election totally would have persued trump....oh wait, it was trump

[u/Cranyx]

The DoJ released this statement defending Trump from the incriminating evidence in the files: 

The Department of Justice has officially released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election." 

"To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already. Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims.

[u/no_one_likes_u → u/Cranyx]

Biden bent over backwards to not weaponize the DOJ against Trump.  Hopefully the next democrat isn’t as much of a fucking moron, if we get another free election that is.

[u/HerMajestyTheQueef1 → u/no_one_likes_u]

Biden was a decent president but was not for this time, USA needed someone that was ready to defend democracy and the rule of law and he was just too timid and slow and ended up handing the keys of USA's democracy to an unhinged demagogue and autocrat.

[u/TheVintageJane → u/HerMajestyTheQueef1]

Biden with Merrick Garland at the helm of the DOJ acting like decorum was going to be the antidote to fascism.

[u/dolfan1 → u/HerMajestyTheQueef1]

Carter 2.0

[u/laptopAccount2 → u/no_one_likes_u]

Enforcing the law is not responding the DOJ. If Biden's DOJ put Trump in jail that would have been fine. Don't buy their premise.

[u/black_flag_4ever → u/Cranyx]

Considering that Trump and his minions lie about everything, I have no reason to believe the DOJ’s disclaimer.

[u/Thanato26 → u/Cranyx]

Wait... theyvare saying Trump is a victim?

[u/eawilweawil → u/Thanato26]

Trump is always a victim

[u/andrew5500 → u/Cranyx]

What else can the DoJ say when they answer to a child rapist?

[u/RightSideBlind → u/Cranyx]

They fall back on that excuse a lot- "Nobody's gone after Trump for this before, so therefore there's no reason to go after Trump now."

There are a lot of criminals who would absolutely love to be able to use this excuse.

[u/AdhesivenessFun2060 → u/Cranyx]

Is it so hard for them to put together a statement that doesnt sound like an angry 12 year old?

[u/SailorSpaghetti]

Trump raped a 13 year old pregnant girl and was present when her newborn daughter was killed.

link

[u/DueDisplay2185 → u/SailorSpaghetti]

Oh I thought you meant abortion, the 13yo actually had the baby and they tossed it overboard in lake Michigan. Fucking hell

[u/FillySteveSteak → u/DueDisplay2185]

oh my god. this cant be real...

[u/-You-know-it- → u/FillySteveSteak]

You think that’s bad? Imagine the stuff that is actually redacted? There are multiple women who have stepped forward saying Trump forced them to get abortions. I think Trump is more evil than even we thought.

[u/No1KnwsIWatchTeenMom → u/-You-know-it-]

Not to downplay forced abortion (vile) but the murder of an infant is on another level. I don't have the stomach to read what's in these files. And what's worse is I still doubt anything will come of it. His base will write it off and no other powerful men will be prosecuted. 

[u/Wrastling97 → u/-You-know-it-]

EPSTEIN HIMSELF in an email called Trump “pure evil”

This is just that showing. If Epstein, of all people, calls you evil… you’re something else…

[u/OneRougeRogue → u/FillySteveSteak]

Honestly crazy to read that and see the URL end in .gov

[u/YardSard1021 → u/SailorSpaghetti]

What the FUCK.

This needs to be printed out on billboards across the country.

[u/tossaway109202 → u/SailorSpaghetti]

Wow. How is this not international news right now. This looks to be related https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/04/donald-trump-teenage-rape-accusations-lawsuit-dropped Edit: actually that article seems to be a different 13 year old Trump raped.

[u/Hyperious3 → u/tossaway109202]

it seems to be a different 13y/o that he raped

The fact we have to differentiate between which child of many this inhuman piece of shit is guilty of sexually assaulting is depressing as fuck...

[u/Sil369 → u/SailorSpaghetti]

Surprised they didn't redact where the body was diposed of.

[u/Blueandigo → u/SailorSpaghetti]

On a flight back home to abq. I thought this was a joke at first.

Wtf is this? 

[u/PrisonersofFate → u/SailorSpaghetti]

Oh my god

[u/AllForKarmaNaught → u/SailorSpaghetti]

She gave her real name. Surely this can be verified, right? Right?!

[u/ITrageGuy → u/SailorSpaghetti]

Why isn't this on every front page in the world yet?

[u/Petraretrograde → u/SailorSpaghetti]

Holy. Shit.

[u/autotelica → u/SailorSpaghetti]

Y'all, this needs to be the top comment. If they are releasing something like this, then wtf are they covering up?

[u/CharlieandtheRed → u/SailorSpaghetti]

Yeah this wins the award for worst thing released.

[u/Worldfiler → u/SailorSpaghetti]

I came across this info a couple years ago while reading about celebrities trying to get into the billionaires club. 

 https://www.reddit.com/r/MorbidReality/comments/zzkx1p/a_boys_decapitated_head_was_found_inside_a/

[u/tydye29 → u/Worldfiler]

So what was the conclusion of that article..? A celebrity needed a head to get into rhe billionaires club..?

[u/JPeterBane → u/SailorSpaghetti]

This needs a LOT of attention.

[u/ranagirl → u/SailorSpaghetti]

Commenting to boost this - should be top comment. Good lord.

[u/rebellion_ap]

I wonder if these ones are actually redacted. There was posts that large portions of the pdfs used black image boxes that could be extracted to reveal the redacted portions.

[u/NeedAVeganDinner → u/rebellion_ap]

I think that was an old thing.  Did they fuck it up AGAIN?

[u/ishpatoon1982 → u/NeedAVeganDinner]

Someone else is claiming you can copy redacted parts and paste it into the search bar and it'll show up unredacted.

Haven't tried it myself.

[u/NeedAVeganDinner → u/ishpatoon1982]

Yeah law subreddit has a bunch of people doing this 

[u/itsSRSblack]

Might as well print black ink on black paper. Save yourself some time

Edit: props to the people doing the digging. Keep the links coming

[u/CliffDagger → u/itsSRSblack]

Well the good news is It looks like they fucked up redacting a lot of the stuff and people have found a way to unredact the docs.

Edit here's an example

and another...

In this example it looks like when you copy the redacted section and paste it into the search bar, the redacted text appears

[u/justagenericname213 → u/CliffDagger]

Exactly the level of competence I expected from this administration

[u/nahsonnn → u/justagenericname213]

Could be malicious compliance

[u/Deinosoar → u/nahsonnn]

It is possible. Imagine devoting your life to serving Justice only to be ordered to protect a billionaire who rapes children.

[u/Disturbed2468 → u/nahsonnn]

Considering how almost everyone and their mom doesn't like Epstein or anyone who was involved with him, this is an extremely likely scenario.

[u/eawilweawil → u/Disturbed2468]

MAGA wouldn't mind if God King Trump touched their mom or wife or daughter

[u/FavreorFarva → u/eawilweawil]

Actually that’s the only way a lot of them would get upset with him. They only ever care if things happen to them personally or someone they actually care about.

[u/eawilweawil → u/FavreorFarva]

Yeah but they would somehow 'rationalize' it. Conservatives do tend to blame women for sexual assaults

[u/WLH7M → u/nahsonnn]

As incredibly stupid they've handled almost everything they've released, I really think it is. Oooooor, no one who knows shot is willing to get their hands dirty in it. Oooooooor they fired anyone worth a damn and have C squad agents bungling every other step.

[u/Chigao_Ted → u/WLH7M]

It could be all of the above as well

[u/StinkyNutzMcgee → u/nahsonnn]

I'm convinced of this it's not accident, hopefully it's someone behind the scene and being a super patriot

[u/IAmJakePaxton → u/justagenericname213]

Something about WWII Germany, forced labour and defective tank shells comes to mind.

[u/Hydroxychloroquinoa → u/IAmJakePaxton]

…incorrectly placed “oil full” lines on dipsticks…

[u/onarainyafternoon → u/justagenericname213]

When authoritarianism came to America, I simply never expected it to be so.....dumb. Like, just really really bad incompetence on every level. Thank God, I guess.

[u/Risin → u/onarainyafternoon]

Nazis' were considered imbeciles until they took power.  Part of why they were enabled to rule is because no one took them seriously.

Authoritarianism is always dumb. Kim Jong Il claimed to invent the internet and the hamburger, the dynastic family of Turkmenistan only allows white buildings and cars in their capital city and renamed months of the year after themselves, Gaddafi shot pop/rap music videos costing millions in production, Putin publishes photos of him topless horseback riding,Mugabe claimed the British Gay Mafia was after him, Amin Dada of Uganda titled himself "MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.” and proclaimed himself the rightful ruler of Scotland of all bloody places, President Jammeh of Gambia spend 15 years "faith-healing" HIV by having his subjects strip naked, rubbing weird green shit on them and having them drink a concoction he claimed only worked on like Thursdays and Tuesdays.

You guys have joined a strange club down there.

Upvoting so more people can see this. It’s genuinely insane how dumb this administration is, but at least this is one time where it works in the people’s favor

[u/PedanticTart → u/heebeejeebeest]

I prefer to believe this is malicious compliance.

[u/SenhorSus → u/CliffDagger]

So much for redacting only what's necessary to protect victims

[u/Deinosoar → u/CliffDagger]

And I can't be surprised because they made the exact same fucking mistake in the first Administration. More than fucking once.

I really hope the people who are put in charge of censoring did that on purpose. Using the black highlighter function is just way too easy to get around.

[u/Dont__Grumpy__Stop → u/itsSRSblack]

I don’t know. There’s a lot of stuff that’s already come out of the new docs.

Epstein saying that the “our president also shares our love of young nubile girls” in a letter to Larry Nassir.

There’s a DOJ email stating that Trump was on Epstein’s plane with a victim.

There’s a second hand account of Trump raping a girl with Epstein.

[u/IowaJL → u/Dont__Grumpy__Stop]

That just makes my fucking skin crawl.

[u/NewToHTX → u/itsSRSblack]

Some things are still out there and highly fucked up.

[u/Food_gasser → u/NewToHTX]

Murdered the newborn of a 13 year old victim?!

[u/PineappleOk6764 → u/Food_gasser]

Isn't this what Republicans blame pro-choice Democrats of? Another instance of every accusation is an admission...

[u/nicksknock → u/NewToHTX]

Yikes... That's pretty damning.

[u/amanam0ngb0ts → u/NewToHTX]

Oh my god…

[u/Fearless_Tutor3050 → u/itsSRSblack]

Actually, this one has some damning drops in here. Epstein writing from jail talking about Trump's love of teenage girls.

Directly from .gov https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%208/EFTA00035768.pdf

[u/SpoatieOpie → u/Fearless_Tutor3050]

L.N. Is Larry Nassar by the way, sick fucker.

[u/PandaJesus → u/SpoatieOpie]

I guess it does make sense they’d all be friends. 

[u/Tesseract14 → u/Fearless_Tutor3050]

He also talked about taking the "short route" home. Is he implying suicide?

[u/G_UK]

Are the DoJ really hanging their hat on protecting the rapist and likely peadophile president. Does nobody in the DoJ have morals?

Jeez how far America has sunk is going to be studied for decades by scholars around the world

[u/bluehawk232 → u/G_UK]

The cult of Trump is strong

[u/onarainyafternoon → u/bluehawk232]

Yeah, Trump is a personality cult. MAGA is a personality cult. There isn't any way to argue with that characterization.

[u/digitaljestin]

So...isn't this evidence that they missed their legal deadline if the 19th?

[u/damian20 → u/digitaljestin]

Who is going to enforce it lol this admin has done many illegal things

[u/Neat_Egg_2474 → u/digitaljestin]

This is exactly why Johnson released congress early. People thought it was for the healthcare vote, no, it was so congress wouldnt be in session when the DOJ broke the law.

Its clear as day to see what Johnson is doing. They were hoping they could make it to January and this would blow over, thats why he let out congress, its why Trump is giving out money to troops and giving them a 5 day weekend.

Distract and delay, and when that fails we start bombing Venezuela. Its going to get way worse before this is all over.

[u/jdp111 → u/digitaljestin]

They already admitted they weren't hitting that deadline.

No sorry you didn’t redact enough

[u/slaf69 → u/morphcore]

It’s like playing wheel of fortune.

[u/19chris1996]

They have a massive budget on toner, apparently.

[u/fxdc1991 → u/19chris1996]

Well yeah, look at orange man’s face. He uses heaps of toner 🤣

[u/x_ARCHER_x]

The most incompetent administration, ever.

Working harder than ever, covering for pedophiles and human traffickers.

Why? Money, power, greed, politics.

Us 99.9999% will never be part of the elite club.

[u/BiggoChief → u/x_ARCHER_x]

Don’t forget infanticide

Trump raped a 13 year old pregnant girl and was present when her newborn daughter was killed.

[u/AMDeez_nutz]

Why aren’t we looking to impeach and prosecute 47 right now is beyond anyone

[u/Titansfan09 → u/AMDeez_nutz]

Sadly because it would probably get blocked again by the Senate

[u/Worthyness → u/AMDeez_nutz]

Oh sorry, theyre on Christmas break right now. Can't do work while theyre using their pto.

[u/expatfella]

The best so far is Epstein writing to Larry Nassar while both are in jail moaning about Trump getting nubile snatch.

[u/penguished]

They've already blatantly broken the law in not doing the release properly and redacting things they can't legally redact.

Impeach. Get new people in to sort this horrible mess out.

[u/Specialist-Bug1592]

I really hope people are setting up mirror sites before they delete more files.

[u/jeffereeee]

UK here. I went down a pretty deep hole doing some research. Wow, the rape allegation against Trump, how the heck is he President? I mean wtf.

[u/RightSideBlind → u/jeffereeee]

As ◼️talked about his time meeting Donald Trump, immediately◼️demeanor went "stone cold" as stated ◼️"he raped me." ◼️ said "what" as ◼️replied "Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein." noted some girl with a funny name "took me into a fancy hotel or building, that's how it happened."

[u/AllForKarmaNaught → u/RightSideBlind]

Ghislane is a real funny name of your American ..

[u/RLOFT7 → u/jeffereeee]

US here. His supporters live in a world of fake news. They will likely never hear about this. If they do hear about it, they will brush it off as a bs story to bring him down. It’s impossible to get through to these people. That’s why he’s still our president and the sane people who aren’t in his cult are powerless to do anything about it.

[u/jeffereeee → u/RLOFT7]

We defrocked a Prince because of allegations against him and his connection with Epstein. And here we are with much more evidence against Trump, he should be in a prison cell not in the White House.

[u/cokecaine → u/jeffereeee]

I lost faith in the ability of the US government to hold their officials accountable after the Jan 6th bullshit.

[u/RenaissanceScientist → u/jeffereeee]

People are racist and transphobic. If not that, then they didn’t care to look at the facts before voting.

[u/jeffereeee → u/RenaissanceScientist]

It’s like no one cares about the victims.

[u/BeMoreChill → u/jeffereeee]

His supporters just claim it's made up BS to make him look bad

[u/x_cLOUDDEAD_x]

The Department of Justice posted a statement on X saying: "Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.

So is Trump's former personal attorney and current assistant AG Todd Blanche voluntarily writing these Twitter posts defending him that no one asked for? The impartiality is really real.

[u/Inside-Specialist-55]

Another very relevant thread here where they figured out that many of the files could easily be unredacted with a simple script, Worth looking at https://www.reddit.com/r/law/comments/1ptlms6/some_epstein_files_can_be_unredacted/
