Trump suggests he’ll release Jeffrey Epstein ‘client list’ if elected: ‘I’d have no problem with it’

They need to just release all the files, with minimum redactions if they want to be transparent.

As it currently stands, it would appear the only things getting released are the ones that are reputationally damaging to his enemies.

Of the releases so far, the only pics that have been released were that of Bill Gates, NY Times Columnist David Brooks, and Bill Clinton (and former Prince Andrew, but everyone already knew about that one)


So during that whole decades long scandal and trafficking ring, not a single conservative or anyone within Trump's circle was involved in any funny business?


They're expecting us to believe that the only people implicated just so happen to be people who are not so well-liked by MAGA? What are the odds
They think we are stupid and the sad thing is they are right.

Epstein files: A number of documents, including Trump photo, reportedly removed from DOJ release site​


A photo showing President Donald Trump’s face that was included in the release of the investigative files on notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein — and more than a dozen other files — appears to have been removed from the Department of Justice’s website.


So much for the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

The release was incomplete, over-redacted, and now Trump's face is being memory-holed from what they did release.

They are so inept that they can't even doctor the data right.

Another reason to consider any world-spanning conspiracies to keep the truth from us with a huge grain of salt. Any conspiracy with more than a dozen people is gonna have chuckleheads involved.

I had started another thread on it, but I'm still curious as to why National Security teams and Counterintelligence specialists were the ones tasked with the redaction efforts instead of the FOIA and Records Management legal teams that would normally handle those types of tasks.

If politicians and pundits were saying in unison "Nah, so & so wasn't involved in drug trafficking, just these other sex crimes...thinking they were involved with high-level drug organizations is just a conspiracy theory.... buuuuut, completely unrelated, we're going to task the DEA with handling any document reviews or redactions that need to happen. Nothing to see here, go back to watching Wheel of Fortune and Love Island"

People would be like "wait a minute, something seems off here"

Remember when Trump was calling for a Rush Hour 4?

"Rush Hour" director Brett Ratner, who is helming First Lady Melania Trump's upcoming documentary, is in a photo in the latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein files released by the Justice Department.

An undated photo shows the Florida-native filmmaker posing with a shirtless Jean-Luc Brunel, the late French modeling agent and longtime Epstein associate.

Brunel died by suicide in 2022 in his jail cell while facing charges in France of raping a minor and supplying minors to the disgraced financier.

The documentary comes as Paramount is developing "Rush Hour 4," with Ratner set to return alongside stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, according to Variety and The Hollywood Reporter.

Your forgetting Congress is solely an advisory body with zero authority in regard to the presidency whose power is absolute. At least that is how 6 of the 9 supremes will rule.

US Attorney: Donald Trump travelled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case.

Among the files released on Tuesday is a letter that appears [not confirmed] to have been sent by Epstein to Larry Nassar, the US gymnastics team doctor convicted of sexually abusing scores of young gymnasts, while he was in jail. "We share one thing … our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they’d reach their full potential. Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab ████,'"

If that letter gets some more supporting evidence I can see it becoming a big deal. I see a leaning in the starting domino.
Iunno. 'Epstein' is only repeating what Trump himself bragged about in the Access Hollywood tape. His followers didn't care then, and this letter is not going to make them care now.

The documents also provide a fresh window into Epstein’s behavior during his 36 days in jail, including his previously unreported attempt to connect by mail with another high-profile pedophile: Larry Nassar, the U.S. gymnastics team doctor convicted of sexually abusing scores of athletes.

That's from an FOIA request from 2 years ago, but I don't think this necessarily settles its authenticity. I'd much rather have a record from the prison of Epstein sending it.

DOJ is indeed redacting Trump out of the files in defiance of the law. [ETA: per Snopes both the redacted and a less redacted version of the document are in the DOJ dumps.]

Among the documents the Trump Justice Department redacted was a redacted email from a survivor to New York Post columnist Maureen Callahan describing an unnamed man who repeatedly had sex with another survivor at Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse

Blanche either forgot — or chose to ignore — a crucial fact: the same email had already been released a year earlier by the Biden Department of Justice, without redactions, after a federal judge ordered its disclosure.
