Representatives Jamie Raskin, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna raise questions about why some of the contents of the files was redacted after visiting the Department of Justice to review the uncensored material
The remaining Department of Justice files on Jeffrey Epstein include the revelation that one of the pedophile’s victims was just nine years old and that a senior official in a foreign government was allegedly involved in his sex trafficking network, lawmakers have said.
Democratic congressmen Jamie Raskin and Ro Khanna and Republican Thomas Massie visited the DOJ on Monday to review the remaining files withheld from publication due to their sensitivity via a secure terminal.
As they emerged from the department’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., the trio raised questions about why some of the material had been redacted by government lawyers.
“You read through these files, and you read about 15-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls,” Raskin said.
Name names already, you pussies.
They did announce 6 names yesterday that had been redacted that shouldn’t have been. I’m sure there will be more.
I want a full investigation into the assholes that redacted those 6. They are pedophile protectors and need to be held accountable.
Right. This stuff is being setup in a SCIF type facility. At some point you will start forgetting names as you look for more.
Its not like Congress is really doing anything right now though. If I were Ro, I would go everyday for a couple hours and collect more names until I went through it all. It’s not like he can pass legislation right now.
I think they are going as often as they can. There are only four computers that they and all the 535 Senators/Reps are allowed to use to view the documents, so scheduling limits how much time any one of them can go.
Now knowing this, I have to ask who else in congress is using up computer access time and not talking about what they’ve learned? Are there members scheduling time for the sole purpose of limiting the access time of people like Ro and Massie?
It should not be in a scif anyway. Whom put the administration in charge of this information in the first place? Congress needs a new law, the administration can’t be trusted, we already knew that.
There are files I have read with victims as young as 5.
I see double redactions in that document. Pretty sus right there.
Holy fuck that’s a dark one with plenty of redaction that could make it worse.
i want to know exactly how many names in the files are drag queens
Quite a few, but not as abusers. Predictably it turns out these guys were huge chasers. There was a whole sickening thing about wanting to literally force-fem young boys into becoming trans-femme sex slaves (you know, that thing they said the drag queens wanted to do)
Well, where do you think they got the idea from? Themselves of course
Also, do we know how many boys were involved? I have heard precious few sordid details, it’s like they talk about who was there, but not what we know about whom did what, with whom. We don’t have to know identities, but if a billionaire was getting a happy ending massage from a 17 year old, there’s a world of difference between that, and raping a 13 year old or something. Should be consequences for both, but since there aren’t we need to find out on our own somehow so we can at least hold onto the information to destroy them later.
Anyway, I think Mandelson is Gay, the british ambassador dickhead tight with epstein. He really really like epstein too, it wasn’t just a friend, he had a real loyalty to him somehow. Which is curious. This was all reported by the Guardian, in their podcast infocus last summer or so.
But was Epstein hooking these guys up with boys too? I’m sure they were I just haven’t heard of it yet.
I’m wondering which high level gouvernement official it is.
No not really. Everybody knows.
Which high ranking officials? Yes. It’s not one, they are all compromised, if not on this, on other stuff. They only trust compromised people not to betray them. Same as the borgia pope did with cardinals in the 16th century. aka the whoremaster of rome, the one machivelli wrote the prince about the son of.
It says foreign government, so to me that could be a lot of people.
Who did you think it was?
Could still be trump
Well it’s not one of those six, these are the six that were named: “Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, CEO of Dubai Ports World. And billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner”
They did say trump is listed more than a million times in the unredacted files though.
Wexner was one of Epstein’s first marks. He’s the one that introduced Epstein into a lot of the high society circles originally. Some real estate dickhead from the east coast.
Not sure who OP is thinking but if you’ve been following UK politics at all I guess Lord Mandelson would be a candidate, though I don’t know if he’s really a big enough bombshell internationally.
They named the six already. Its not that these are the most important or even named more often than others, these are just six men whose name popped up in the two hours they took to review.
This whole thing is a huge mess and thousands of investigations are needed IMO. Probably could keep the FBI busy for the next half decade investigating Epstein conspirators alone.
It wouldn’t surprise me if McConnell is in those files. That would explain his inexplicable protection of trump after he’d lost in 2020 and fomented an insurrection.
I couldn’t make sense of it at the time – he was handed a way to prevent trump running again on a silver platter, and there didn’t seem to be a reason not to since he was already on the way out.
And now thinking about it, ew. I need a shower.
I would like to hear any reasoning at all for why we should be redacting anything except the identities of victims and perhaps the more troubling details of their abuse.
The given reason is that people are innocent until proven guilty, and the DOJ doesn’t want to create witch-hunts just because someone was mentioned in passing. For instance, Robin Williams is mentioned in an email chain, but only because he refused to visit the island.
But the most straightforward reason is a coverup. That’s pretty much the only way to actually justify the massive amounts of redactions. As time has gone on and more evidence has mounted, it has become increasingly clear that the given reason is bogus.
If something smells like a duck, it could be a duck, but it could also be a goose, or a chicken, or a swan, or any other number of things that smell like ducks… But if it looks like a duck, smells like a duck, has feathers like a duck, has flippers like a duck, has a flat bill like a duck, and quacks like a duck? We can only reasonably conclude that it’s a duck.
The reasoning is that the FBI and the DOJ are both compromised by the same cabal of monsters in the files. Tbh it’s a miracle we even got anything at all
Why would you say that you have a name, but not release the name? Unless you want to use that knowledge to get something in exchange for keeping it secret.
Fucking weak-ass Democrats should stop playing games, and just release EVERYTHING.
They did release the names.
