Top Trump officials will discuss Epstein strategy at Wednesday dinner hosted by Vance

[Always in His Presence]

This was a very weird selection of text to respond to. You quoted my summary, which was about the inane notion that the meeting hadn't happened because it was supposed to happen today (Aug 13). As for the reporting that the moving took place elsewhere, I refer you to post #112 and will not argue with you whether you trust JD Vance. I do not, but your mileage may vary.

Thank you for your opinion and responce - if you ever find proof of the meeting happening on either of those dates - I will welcome it.

Until then - it remains a possible if so, maybe that might have happened, but it is negative about Trump, so obviously it must be true.

but it is negative about Trump, so obviously it must be true.

There is nothing particularly negative about high level administration officials having a meeting about what many people are saying.

I don't find your arguments from my-guy-denied-reporting-so-it-must-be-false to be compelling.

I don't find your unsubstantiated posts to be compelling either -

Nothing factual in this case either.

FBI deployed 1,000 agents to search Epstein files for Trump mentions, whistleblower says​

I will make one correction. They flagged his name, not redacted. But one would have ask why are they doing this anyway?

Trump's FBI spent $1M on 'special redaction project' ahead of Epstein files release​

That's according to a recent Bloomberg article, which reported that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has reportedly allocated nearly $1 million in overtime pay to agents in an operation known as the "Epstein Transparency Project," with some reportedly maligning the effort as the "Special Redaction Project." The initiative involved an estimated 1,000 FBI agents working out of a facility in Winchester, Virginia

Bloomberg reported that between March 17 and March 22 of this year, the bureau spent $851,344 alone. Agents also clocked 4,737 hours of overtime pay between January and July of this year, poring through the DOJ's remaining evidence pertaining to the deceased sex trafficker.

The New York Times reported in July that the DOJ's remaining Epstein documents number roughly 100,000 pages, and that FBI agents combed through them on four separate occasions earlier this year. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly instructed the FBI to flag any mentions of Trump in the files.

#1: With thousands of pages, no doubt it would be a huge effort to properly redact all this, turning 'Jane Doe' into Victim #17 consistently across all documents. A million bucks doesn't bother me.
#2: This work was already completed -- as early as 8 months ago, and several re-checks since then -- back when it seemed Trump was going to make good on his campaign promise to release the files.
#3: Thus, there's no need for further delay.
#4: Obviously, we have yet to evaluate the completeness of the release and the extent of the redaction.

The Trump admin doesn't even bother to hide their blatant intent of a coverup.

You expect consistency?

What does that have to do with the topic of the thread - about a meeting that never happened?

The information was available 3 months ago when you were being confused by dates and tenses in articles posted and updated online.

Redactions and searching for Trump's name was part of the Trump strategy for dealing with the Epstein files.
