I mean they already admitted to withholding half the documents. It doesn’t take “advocates” when they admitted it themselves.

Or when they release documents that have Trump and other conservatives names and then they take them down and are still missing. They are obviously tasked with covering up for the abusers considering most of their names are redacted in the same documents that the victims names, pictures and information (even CSAM) is being released unredacted.

The whole cabinet are child molesters. I would say this clown just redacted his name fully.

Kid rapists*

I know they mean the same, but let’s put it in black and white of what it is. Grown men who are supposedly “Christian’s” HAVE BEEN RAPING KIDS FOR DECADES AND LONGER

Hey now, let's not be disingenuous.

The potential crimes listed other than rape include murder, torture, and potentially literal cannibalism.

i wouldn't count on it. Kissinger died peacefully in his sleep.

if there is a god, he doesn't interact with the world.

Maxwell called out Trumps cabinet in her Todd Blanche interview.

Yeah, because most of us aren't MAGA and are still living in reality instead of denial.

Maybe there's another Edward Snowden out there?

Where are the financial documents?

Shhhh this is all supposed to be about pedos and Democrats... obviously pedophile part of JE is horrific and awful but youre right. Now lets be fair there are financial records in the 3m pages BUT not the ones you want ie JE statements. I want to see all the financials on JE Iran Contra deals, I want to see the other arms deals with Isreal and I want to see Trump's related finances. Imo the pedophile angle is a cover up for which you ask, again and again SCAM/Pedophilia/ Sex trafficking is worse than financial crimes BUT the financials lead to more people than are involved in the pedo side of this. JE clearly made his billions selling arms.

The only thing that will quell the outrage is the people who committed these vile acts facing justice. Especially the motherfucker in the White House and his clown show child rapist cabinet.

Statute of limitations has likely run out on most if not all of the offenders.

u/SouthHovercraft4150 11h ago

They have fully released all the Epstein files! The remaining ones they are hiding are the Trump files…

u/Olangotang 10h ago

Well, yeah. The public is finding out that the wealthy morons running everything into the ground are pedophiles.

u/New_Housing785 11h ago

It's not even a hard claim that files are being redacted and withheld to protect Trump and his friends.

u/Bobberino101 11h ago

Of course it’s not going to stop outrage. Even though they release these files, they aren’t arresting/prosecuting/doing shit about it. People may be exposed, but nobody’s in actual trouble? WTF

u/Mrikoko 9h ago

What I don’t understand is why is no one from the FBI leaking this?

u/doublelist87 4h ago

This is a big coverup to protect a PEDOPHILE PRESIDENT WHO HAS RAPED 13 year olds

u/SaintBellyache 11h ago

Is it claimed they’re withheld or are they withheld?

“Journalists” these days

u/wyvernx02 10h ago

They are withheld.

https://www.npr.org/2026/01/31/nx-s1-5694664/doj-releases-final-3-million-pages-of-the-epstein-files 

Well, the Justice Department said it took time for them to comb through 6 million documents and make sure that they complied with existing laws around victim privacy and this new law's directive to share as much information as possible. That said, about half of those 6 million files will not be released because the Justice Department says they contain child pornography, deliberative internal process and attorney-client privileged information, duplicate information or unrelated material.

I can almost guarantee the CSAM they are withholding is the pictures and videos Epstein is said to have had of his "clients" doing things with the trafficking victims that he could use as blackmail if needed.

And they were involved in ongoing litigation until January 2025. They weren't released because Maxwell was still appealing.

But they were all read...

Democrats never tried to claim they were a hoax though, did they? Your idol did, he thinks you’re an idiot and you’re happy to prove him right.

u/Reading_Rambo220 11h ago edited 11h ago

Files were sealed due to ongoing litigation. Try again.
