Two of the House lawmakers who reviewed the files—Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Ro Khanna of California—said the redactions appeared to include one “high up” foreign government official and other prominent individuals whose names and photographs were obscured in the versions previously released to the public.
“There are six men, some of them with their photographs, that have been redacted, and there’s no explanation why those people were redacted,” Massie, a Republican, said after spending roughly two hours reviewing the documents inside a secure reading room at a Department of Justice satellite office.
Their goal is to smear victims and hide perpetrators.
Of course, that’s why they redacted the perps and left victim’s names unredacted which was also a warning to other women who had not come forward that they would not get any protection.
And…
Epstein and associates held a lot of sway over officials of many countries. Redacting those foreign officials gives the US control over that leverage.
I’m not sure why this never comes up in articles.
It gives Israel continued control over everyone in the files not the US.
It doesn’t give the US control, it gives a specific cohort of misanthropic scumbags leverage to accomplish their misanthropic scumbag agenda.
There is no good reason to redact this information. Giving extra ammunition to the class of people that has been fighting to the nail to cover this all up is in no way a benefit.
Paid for by our votes and tax dollars.
We’re so stupid!
Think lots of people who grew up around sexual predators understands this, they see the victims as vindictive and ungrateful, in their minds they did nothing wrong. They always twist their actions to be the fault of the victim, so releasing information to hurt the victims is 100% predictable.
did you expect anything less?
