‘The most important documents are missing,’ says Democratic representative of Epstein files release – as it happened
“The justice department’s document dump this afternoon does not comply with Thomas Massie and my Epstein Transparency Act,” Ro Khanna, the California Democratic congressman who co-wrote the law requiring full disclosure of all of the government’s investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein by Friday, said in a video statement posted on social media.
By way of example, Khanna noted: “They released one document from a New York grand jury of a 119 pages totally blacked out! This despite a New York judge ordering them to release that document, and our law requires them to explain redactions. There’s not a single explanation for why that entire document was redacted.”
“We have not seen the draft indictment,” Khanna added, “that implicates other rich and powerful men who were on Epstein’s rape island, who either watched the abuse of young girls or participated in the abuse of young girls.”
“It is an incomplete release, with too many redactions. Thomas Massie and I are exploring all options,” Khanna said, including the impeachment of justice department officials, finding them in contempt of Congress, “or referring for prosecution those who are obstructing justice.”
Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican congressman who co-wrote the legislation, shared Khanna’s video statement on social media, with the comment that the document release by Pam Bondi, the attorney general, and Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general who previously served as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, “grossly fails to comply with both the spirit and the letter of the law” that Trump signed, “just 30 days ago”.

Remember kids, every black line says the word Trump over and over and over. Spread the word.
Supposedly there was about 300Gb of material, compared to about 3Gb released so far, so it's fair to assume the other 99% is videos of Trump fucking kids unless/until they release the rest to show otherwise.
I have no idea how the retractors live with themselves. What the fuck.
They're probably in on it, too. This administration surely drew like-minded people.
FYI a retractor is a surgical implement. I believe the word you were looking for is detractor.
You're such a smelly poopoo-head. You wouldn't know what a detector was if they were talking directly to you!
Aaaaand scene
Such a didactic response
FYI: Little 'b' means bit. Big 'B' means byte, a factor of eight larger. Basically, there's eight times as much Pedonald.
Why did all these people allow their photos to be taken? Like Clinton and Gates... "sure take my photo with this young woman so we can all remember what a great time we're having"
That was part of the deal. Mutual blackmail. It's been alluded to several times in the Maxwell testimonies.
Oh yeah that kinda makes sense i guess.
This is supposedly where the phrase “thick as thieves” comes from. If thieves were working together, they’d share stories of some of their previous crimes. So the group would all have blackmail on each individual member. The idea was that no individual person would rat, because then everyone they’ve worked with in the past would rat on them.

Due to a system specifically designed by and for them and their fellow economical and political elites, they consider themselves untouchable by the consequences meant for mere mortals.
The worst part is that this megalomaniacal assumption is almost invariably proven correct 🤬
Pretty sure they are vulnerable to guillotines just as much as the next guy.
Trump, active politicians, wealthy CEOs, connected public figures, and even Israeli spies and handlers.
Take your pick of Epstein associates that the US govt would opt to protect for reasons other than the public good or national security.
300Gb is only ~38GB. Still, 3GB is only ~7.5% of 300Gb. So we should assume the other ~92.5% is photos and videos of pedonald fucking children.
They needed 1000 FBI agents to redact out all references to Pedo Donny. 1000 agents ! You can BET that they all show Donny 2 Inches being a pedo.
You might be joking, but in Slovakia there have been a few censored PDFs I've seen where they just used black highliter. Like, the text was still there.
I thought it was something rare when I found that, but someone on Reddit found same shit elsewhere too.
Here's an example: https://www.teleoff.gov.sk/images/urad/odbory-oddelenia/odbor-statneho-dohladu-elektronickych-komunikacii/rozhodnutia-statneho-dohladu-elektronickych-komunikacii/rozhodnutie-zakaze-poskytovat-siete-sluzby-z-29-4-2025.pdf
Just select the "censored" text and copy it.
Lmfao that is incredible
In retrospect, printing it on watermarked paper was probably a bad idea.

Why hasn’t the actual document been leaked yet? At first I thought it was because it couldn’t be used if it was. But there’s literally a law ordering its release, so just dump it.
Because the pedo protectors have the documents.
Biden had them for 4 years
Yeah, like they said, the pedo protectors have the documents.
They were sealed by the courts until late 2023, and it should never have been his job to shame his political rivals because Trump should never have been president again in the first place. Everyone already knew Trump was buddy buddy with Epstein.
If Biden had released the files Maga wouldn't have believed him anyways, some of them only realized they were duped when Trump promised to release them then claimed they didn't exist.
This. The Biden vs. Trump thing is irrelevant here.
And we know pretty certainly he wasn't protecting his own ass. We are basically guaranteed that the FBI was instructed to flag any incriminating evidence against Biden.
We also know for certain at this point that Trump is throwing up every possible barrier to seeing his mention.
Biden also has rumours of being a pedo, just nothing even close to the shit Trump has.
Yeah did Biden have little miss pedo parties with 14 year olds? GTFO..
Of course they are. Anyone who expected something different is unbelievable naive.
There is a provision in the law that they can withhold anything related to "national security", so they can basically filter at will. You can't claim something you'll never see not to falling under that provision...
But they didn't say the redactions were due to national security. It'd be bullshit if they did, yeah, but they didn't. So they're still not complying.
Every deletion is an admission.
Firstly: the partial / redacted release was entirely predictable.
Secondly, I dont understand where we are at now.
Is this impeachment going to be like all the others and be meaningless?
If JD Bimbo lady was charged and convicted wouldn't Trump just pardon her?
I can at least answer this one
Yes. No impeachment has ever had any teeth to it. This man broke the record for being the first to be impeached his first term. Then he broke another record by being the first to be impeached twice. Why not a third?
Impeachment of Trump is not yet on the table, but impeachment of Bondi and Trump's personal lawyer currently acting as Bondi's deputy, that's on the table and could result in a removal.
While it's true that no impeachment of a president has succeeded, the process has succeeded several times.
Also remember that while Trump is somehow bulletproof, his hanger ons enjoy zero protection.
They don't have protection when they stop being useful to him. They're still useful.
It is his personal perception of utility that is the issue. His emotions and whims change with the winds.
Impeachment, maybe. Removal of any Republican would require too many Republican Senators to ever be feasible.
US Constitution, Article II, Section 2, Clause 1:
"Obviously the founding fathers meant to exclude ilegal impeachments. And since it would be from the crooked democrats and RINOs, any impeachment at this point would be an ilegal one." (Says Trump and the Supreme Court probably.)
Nah, don't worry: it's going to be even MORE meaningless, now that the fascist criminals are in full control of every single branch of government and may well succeed in remaking campaign and election laws so that it stays that way no matter how big the majority of people disapproving of them gets.
Of course they're missing, did anybody thing anything else would happen? They'll release just enough salacious material to keep the voyeurs satisfied, but none of it will be actionable, at least not against MAGAs or Oligarchs. They'll keep the good stuff quarantined, or perhaps it's already been burned.
They even reported how FBI agents were taken off regular assignments to comb through for any mention of Dear Leader and rack up overtime. That was months ago.
This is a rigged investigation that will go nowhere. The real investigation is into Epstein's finances. Where did his fortune come from? Who was paying him? For what? There are lots of interesting questions around his fortune, and they are all tied to financial paper trails.
Follow the money.
Well we had the Panama Papers. For all the good that did.
Yep. I bet the released materials cover a) Democrats and b) anyone else Trump dislikes.
🎶 No colours anymore, I want them to turn black 🎶
Is this for real?
I opened this in a a couple of text editors on the off chance, unfortunately its just a black rectangle graphic with no text to be recovered.
Jesus fucking christ. Our govt is run by elementary school bullies. And they're just getting away with it.
That’s because Americans continue to allow it.
Every society runs on the consent of the governed.
Yes. Current news is also that they have quietly removed documents that were previously there with unredacted Trump mentions.
When I first saw these pop up, I thought my phone was having connectivity issues and couldn't download the images fully.
Since we only know of a few "politically exposed individuals", I'm just going to have to assume that all the redactions are pertaining to them. Probably, primarily, Trump...since I doubt, if the rumors are lies or exaggerations, that Trump would go through so much trouble to protect Clinton.
In which case, why is Trump so afraid of all of these documents, to the point he has to black out nearly everything?
If he's truly innocent he shouldn't have any problem proving it, right?
If you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to fear, right?
Right, Taco?
So c'mon. It should be easy to weasel yourself out of this.
Unless...it's not.
I think Americans should assume every politician who takes money from AIPAC is involved and we should remove them all from office immediately throw them in prison without bail and try them for treason
Dems have access to all the files and can release them by reading them into the Congressional record.
Referring who for prosecution by who? Are the fascist child rapist protectors going to prosecute themselves?
since trump, republicans and politicial and financial backers are in it, its unlikely they ever plan of exposing them.
Is this news? We all knew there would be fuckery going on with the DOJ release anyway. I wish I would've invested in black ink earlier this year.
How did they not already figure out a response to this completely predictable outcome?
And what will you do about it? If history is any indication, nothing at all
Nothing at all? These guys lead the discharge petition, they have done more about it than basically everyone else combined.
Not surprised and always disappointed with this kind of shit. Everything blackened out has a name of a fucking politician or oligarch. Sick bastards!
They just didn't had enough time to photoshop Obama on the island. Seriously who knew that the country that invented "step"-familly porn was full of pedophiles?
Release the Epstein files, Trump!
What else have you got to fear. Everyone knows your a kiddie abuser and that Putin has a photo of you sucking off Bubba, how much worse could it possibly be?
"Ha, suckers" -Donvict Drumpf
I mean really the goal here is looking for the story through what they missed, like piecing together a Jigsaw where you only have ⅛ of the pieces
