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.
What a fucking disgusting society we live in.
Their goal is to smear victims and hide perpetrators.
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.
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 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.
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.
Prominent pedophiles
FTFY
Wait, are you telling me that releasing the files with the email senders redacted but the victims names unredacted was to protect the assholes and not the victims?!
I’m shocked! SHOCKED I say!
Firstly, it doesn’t matter how prominent a person is.
Secondly if any person is so stupid to allow their picture to be taken with Epstein, etc, then they absolutely deserve to be named and shamed for that stupidity.
The difference is so stark. UK the guy hired someone two years ago who was in the files and fired him last year and they are asking for his resignation. Just for that. US guy is in the files multiple times and crickets.
well how about we dont. They should account.
What is difficult for them to understand that the only ones that should be protected in the files are the victims.
Exactly that is difficult to understand for them. Because they don’t care about the Victims, they only care for the
offende… themselves
That’s crazy that they are even willing to protect foreign interests over their own people. My guess is anyone redacted would take down the rest if they get caught. It’s all shitty people, all the way down.
I think the whole country assumed it before the lawmakers alleged it.
