FBI’s Biggest Office Reduced to One Job: Redacting Epstein Files
The FBI’s New York field office normally handles counterintelligence, counterterrorism, public corruption, international drug trafficking, and financial crime investigations. Right now, though, it has been ordered to prioritize redacting sensitive information in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Vanity Fair reports, citing multiple sources, that nearly a thousand agents, who normally work on national security issues in the bureau’s largest field office, are working night and day combing the documents instead of on their regular jobs.
“It’s literally all hands on deck,” one unnamed source told the magazine. “I even saw an agent walking in with a pillow.” One former agent called the situation “ludicrous.”

Dont redact anything. These are pedophiles. We can easily make new celebrities that aren’t sexually attracted to children.
What if almost all of the names are politicians tho?
They are all politicians, billionaires and other wastes of oxygen
The amount of effort going into this makes it pretty much certain there's nasty stuff about Trump in there. He couldn't have signalled it more clearly.
Why would the politicians be worth keeping if they molest children?
Q Anon is about getting rid of pedophiles in power only if they’re liberal. I’m scorched earth. Get them all out.
Then, to borrow a phrase popularized by one of the names they're probably highlighting with a Sharpie, lock them up.
Well then current events are the result
Eh the victims might like to be unnamed if they haven't come forward already
I hadn't actually considered that, but I don't trust them to only be redacting the victims.
Seeing as the first tranche listed Trump's name 7 times, my guess is that's why this bunch is being combed through.
Child predators*
Yep, there's definitely doing to be a few that slip through.
Saving face Trumps all. What a great use of our best and brightest investigators.
Would be a damn shame if someone were to just....leak those files.
They've already been redacted and destroyed what was incriminating long ago. Right now they are just fabricating evidence to pin on political enemies. There isn't a single piece of information this administration could ever say that I would believe anymore. They illegally took over all independent bodies of government to weaponize them. Why would anyone trust the world being told by a fraud. He has no dignity, no morals, ethics, apathy, empathy or any kind of soul left. If NASA said we put man on the moon again, I wouldn't believe it. All the scientists should just go home. Every finding they make has no credibility and will all have to be re-done years from now to establish if it were even true. Cancer treatment from the U.S.? Doubt. We will need bodies in other countries to confirm the methods might actually work. Which means restarting all the research from scratch and spending all the money again.
How in the fuck isn't someone brave enough to stop trump? There must have been 10 million ways now
This is a horribly unfair comment. Its not to protect him, it's to protect him and people useful to him.
And they just shut up and do it? Fucking useless agencies.
Seriously. Aren't they supposed to use their "particular set of skills" to protect the country from enemies both foreign and domestic, or something like that?
Oh. You’re being serious
Hopefully they just “redact” it with blacked out text in Word document.
Don't see many of those lately. Seems training has been upgraded.
This is the government we’re talking about. I’d be shocked if it wasn’t made available as a WordPerfect 5.1 file.
How dare you besmirch the glory that was WordPerfect!
Was???
I got so excited, and now I am weeping inside because there is no MacOS version 😔
If reality were a TV show, it would be the laziest writing ever. Gee I wonder why they're redacting all of that shit.
It only takes one leak...
WITAF‽
That damning, huh?
Reminds me of https://theonion.com/cia-realizes-its-been-using-black-highlighters-all-thes-1819568147/
If this is true, it’s a big fucking deal. We can’t let this happen.
really thought I was in ![email protected]
I wonder what needs redacting. 🤔
I hope they use that reversible redaction tool from Microsoft word
I'm 100% absolutely positive that putting the FBI office in the biggest media market in the world, home to the New York Times, the major TV networks, and 800,000 influencers in charge of keeping this secret is a wonderful idea.
