Not only could they exonerate themselves, they could vilify political opponents. Even if an accurate copy surfaced they would just say, “Nuh uh!” and MAGA would believe them.
This seems like a no-brainer. What am I missing here?!
Because if republicans release only the democrats on the list, the Democrats will release the full unredacted copy as a form a Mutually Assured Destruction.
Surely the Dems would have been smart enough to keep a copy themselves during the Biden Administration.
They already did.
There’s that ‘Raw Edit’ video that is missing over a minute of footage because they forgot to edit out the timestamps.
That, and the meta data shows the files were edited in Adobe
If there are that many mistakes here, then it’s likely malicious compliance. Someone was ordered to edit, so they edited in the most obvious manner possible.
This is quite ridiculous how shoddy of a job this was.
Interesting, I hadn’t heard this one. Proof?
I meant the client list. Unless I’m missing something?
They did that, too. They released redacted flight logs and documents that were heavily edited, but it was impossible to remove all references to Trump and various oligarchs they’d like to protect, so they stopped.
Most of the “files” they are hiding are CSAM fwiw. Most of the rest was released with redactions
Because it’s not possible to tell any story about it without including Trump, the Clintons, and others.
When an issue crosses political lines where it becomes bi-partisan, such as bi-partisan corruption, things get weird.
Something I didn’t see mentioned: say you make a fake list, redacting the people you want to protect. What about the people you are now throwing under the bus? First your fake evidence has to make it past all of their lawyers scrutiny and hope you’re not revealed for your con, and then you have to hope that these people don’t have evidence that they can use to throw you under the bus as well. Releasing anyones name is likely to cause many more names to come out and the domino effect is way too unpredictable. It’s truly some mutually assured destruction.

I’m no expert, but I would think that altering evidence is a huge risk.
- If you want the changes done by experts, so they’re harder to identify, you have to let the experts in on what you’re doing. That means more potential leakers.
- If you make any changes that contradict the physical evidence, you’ve outed yourself.
- The changes you make can be credibly contradicted by people who have seen the unedited versions.
- You might have to change a lot of stuff, especially if your boy was very close to the sex trafficker in question.
If you get caught, you’ve just made the problem 100x worse, as a lot of people are just going to assume your guilt as soon as they hear you’ve tampered with the evidence.
Pro-tip. Blame it on the dems. His base would eat that shit up. Doesn’t matter that it makes no sense.
If you make any edits that contradict the physical evidence, you’ve outed yourself.
We’re talking about people that contradict both themselves and physical reality on a daily basis without their supporters batting an eye.
Largely why I asked this. Still haven’t found a good answer that doesn’t outline how they might be caught. How cares?!
Bondi said in a hidden camera recording that there were videos depicting CSA among the files - the supposed blackmail material. Now that material is in the possession of Trump et al. If they publish the videos, they become useless as blackmail material.

My body is made of trees.
I can say that. I can offer no evidence. I can do no work to prove it. I can ignore how half the country knows I’m full of shit, and still have half the country believe my bullshit.
And if the situation changes, I can always move the goalposts.
Either way, I gain nothing by trying harder, and face no consequences either way.
What motivation do I have to even try to be more secret in my corruption?
They tried to, and tons of people immediately twigged to the fact that the footage was altered.
I want to believe this is going to start their house of cards collapsing, but unfortunately, I’m pretty certain most maga dipshits have skulls so thick that a GBU-57 would have trouble reliably impacting their trains of thought.
Those GBUs were designed by Boeing to fall, crash and explode… checks out.
Hehehehehehe…penetrator
But I barely know her! 😱
Oh perfect thread for these types of jokes.
Jesus.
…yyyyes? That’s what I was saying.
Bro was backing you up, don’t be skibidi
When you release some, they’re going to make sure that everyone else is known about too. It’s kind of an all or nothing.
You’re not the only one wondering why the Trump administration has its head completely up its ass.
