Its tragically comical that they are trying to go back and redact him from documents and photos that have been public for a while now. Like, did you not think the people were going to come back with fucking receipts, you idiots? This era of existence truly abysmal.
They paid nearly 1000 staff members $1 million in overtime to scrub Trump's name from this shit...and they still made glaringly obvious mistakes like this.
So, not only are they spending your tax dollars to protect pedophiles, but they're really incompetent while doing so.
If it were a different admin I would think it stands on a slim sliver of hope. But with this one, it will go to the Supreme Corrupt and they'll just bote 6-3 in favor or trump.
If anything this just looks worse. They probably will also throw more overtime to make sure it doesn't happen with the already illegally late files they haven't released.
If they are still redacting to protect the victims and most of the photos of Trump haven't been released, the we can only assume Trump is in the photos with the victims. Their defense is an admission.
There must be more photos than anyone could possibly imagine. It must be tons of politicians and celebrities too because 934 FBI agents have been working overtime for months trying to redact all this and they still weren’t ready.
I hope so, I really do. This is so much bigger than Watergate, and involves multiple US presidents one of which is the current seated. So many people are committing treason by defending this child sex trafficking and rape in the name of protecting national security.
It’s also bigger than the Panama Papers. Massie said there’s around 20 billionaires listed in the files he has and they were customers not victims. Not a single one of them has their names listed in what was released. It’s proof they’re covering for criminals.
Let’s not downplay it by just calling them criminals. They are of course, but there’s levels to the shit. I respect a person who robs a bank a lot more than I do someone who say, commits a murder. I have zero respect, only disdain, for someone who rapes children. These people are the lowest of the low, scum of the earth. If it were up to me anyone who rapes a child should be eligible for the death penalty, the president of the US included, because they have essentially murdered their victims soul, they just left their body alive. They robbed a life of its innocence, a child with its whole life ahead. Now just a broken shell. Meanwhile Trump is saying,”If the files are released, it’s gonna hurt a lot of people.” Yeah, well what about all the, almost accidentally typed women whoa, what about all of the little girls who were hurt -by you Trump? You hurt them first you fat fuck. We don’t care if it’s you who gets hurt now you evil piece of shit.
I used criminals as a catch all because we don’t know what each of them did, or what any of them did for that matter. Massie knows, and he still says it’s worse than what the general public is speculating it is.
That makes it sound like the nona-q conspiracy shit going around a few years ago about raping and murdering kids then drinking their blood. Honestly, who knows with these people after seeing the extent they will go to hide everything. If child rape isn’t the worst thing, I don’t even need to know what else they did you know how I feel. If you have issues with the death penalty toss all these fuckers in a hole somewhere and forget about them. We have some fine prisons here in the US, most are owned by these same child fucking billionaires. Only right they should be placed in the same ones they built. It’ll almost be like going home for them. They should never see the light of day again though.
Edit: I wasn’t intending to sound combative with you in any way, I enjoy a spirited debate. I wish we had different subject matter, but unfortunately this is our reality now. As uncomfortable as it is, it must absolutely be discussed and kept under public scrutiny, because I would never be able to imagine the discomfort and trauma endured by these little girls. They deserve justice. Hell they deserve vindication, wrath, and vengeance.
Makes me miss the good old days when both sides could come together to virtue-signal by fantasizing about all the violent things they would do to people who rape children whenever a news story would come out. "If that were my kid, I'd be in prison right now" kinda stuff. Now it's "Well, first I'd have to check if they wear the same color hat as me..."
Prince Andrew wasn't in charge of anything. Chuck him in the deepest prison for sure, but it's not the same level as national leaders imo. The important shit is whether anyone who had political power was being blackmailed with kompromat. The next level down is whether any politicians knew anything and said nothing, as that would make them morally unfit, and if more people were victimised because people who knew didn't speak up there should be consequences.
Trump is the rich and powerful. He literally makes political decisions for the most economically, diplomatically and militarily powerful state on the planet. Sure if more information comes out showing he's being blackmailed, all involved should be imprisoned forever, but as it stands he is as high as any conspiracy can go.
Yes but in these latest files I think they redacted any mention of Trump in those files even though they were already released. It’s so obvious what they’re doing, it’s really insane.
No, in that file trump's name was still there and was not redacted.
Yes, they have redacted trump from many things and most definitely have left out many documents pertaining to trump but the comment I replied to is an example of a document that was not redacted and has been public for awhile.
Yep came here to make this point. As stupid as this admin is, this is likely the one thing they won't fuck with. The agents working on this were probably locked down from leaking in any way imaginable. Basically the only way to leak anything for these agents would be committing stuff to memory and documenting it after work, but even then, you will have no direct "proof" so to speak unlike if you were to actually leak part of the file. It would be anecdotal, and you'd also probably end up in prison, so I'd imagine finding a leaker will be a lot more difficult than people think.
How can there be so many people who are perfectly fine to cover up the crimes of a pedophile? Like no one is like "f this guy" and willing to release unredacted info?
We should make outrageous claims up about what's actually in the redacted bits, shit that would be embarrassing for trump and his ilk. Force them to have to prove our bullshit wrong. By unredacting the files.
Its already been a thing. The jd Vance couch fucker story. We could just take control of the narrative and make shit up.
No no Trump is a victim. There's photos of Trump taking it up the pooper from Bill Clinton and Epstein giving him a golden shower. Apparently he was a good little boy.
It's not clear if they added it: it's entirely possible that photo was in Epstein's collection. I'm willing to believe that he could have had a copy.
But the fact that the photo was publicly available, the identities of everyone was public knowledge, means that the redactions look really, really, really bad. It looks like they are using the redactions to fabricate a narrative and there's not really any way to suggest otherwise without just removing the redacitons.
I have very little trust that the DOJ is really releasing everything. They have already been caught multiple times hiding shit, why should we believe them now?
that begs the question of how trustworthy and neutral the very people handling this matter are. What a farce, the stains on american justice and democracy wont go away for a while.
So we’re still supposed to believe that the FBI took a picture with other pictures visible, but did not enter those photos as evidence?? Where are the pics of Trump with the bikini girls?
Literally photographic evidence that the DOJ of suppressing evidence.
This is 100% to be able to claim that it was simply just a technical difficulty causing the image to be temporarily unavailable. They removed it intentionally, and they only restored it because they got fucking caught.
Trumps' photos could be clear as day and ANY evidence against him wouldn't fucking matter, not one single bit. It's almost laughable to think anything that he's done-- or will do--will matter or be of any consequence.
“Out of an abundance of caution, the Department of Justice temporarily removed the image for further review,” the department said on X. “After the review, it was determined there is no evidence that any Epstein victims are depicted in the photograph, and it has been reposted without any alteration or redaction.”
Meaning of there are pics of Trump with a victim, instead of bluring her face, they will using not release them at all. Wonder why.
Seriously, though, was anyone redacted other than Trump? If so, what possible threat to national security could they be? If not, and all the black parts are about him…
People fixate on Trump and Clinton but honestly I think the big bombshell is Epstein and Wexner laundering CIA drug money to finance off-the-books black ops and arms deals. If Wexner gets indicted it will blow the whole thing wide open and destabilize the country. The redactions are considered a matter of national security because the release of that information would result in a civil unrest on an unprecedented scale.
This is surprising. The Trump administration almost never changes course and this time is especially odd since people will have to ask what else was improperly redacted. I guess the only constant is that they will continually make the worst decisions possible.
Does it even matter? Like, seriously, even if we provided incontrovertible evidence of Trump getting sucked off by a toddler do you honestly think that it would change anything with his base, conservative thinking, or the pestilence that is MAGA rhetoric at large?
I unironically do not think it would change anything. I feel like it would somehow only strengthen their wild and unhinged beliefs.
Now can you restore, like, [motions vaguely at the black monoliths that are meant to be the files]
Those are to protect the victim. Trump. He’s always the fucking victim. Let’s get him boys!
More like always fucking the victim, isn’t it?
/r/angryupvote
That’s the perks of always playing the victim. You would always be protected!
Bake him away toys
Bake him away toys!
It’s to protect the victims, of which there are none!
Defending pedofiles sure is one of the hills to die on.
They literally claimed they couldn’t release the pictures for victims rights, and then turned around and said there weren’t any victims.
I guess I needed to include a /s
LOL Reddit users really need to see the /s or they instantly assume the worst in you and downvote to oblivion.
Meanwhile, they are redacting Trump's name from stuff they originally missed.

they knew exactly what the reaction would be. not that they care.
which is the scary part. they just don't care, about anything or anyone.
but themselves, their deals and money.
Exactly. They don’t care. Republicans didn’t get in trouble for Iran Contra. No one is going to be held accountable for this. If they are… pardons.

Appealing to a higher authority that cares about justice works wonders. Too bad we don’t have one of those.

[removed]
It’s adorable that you believe anything the nepotism hires are saying.
They also removed anything with political personnel. They admitted it
Except Bill Clinton. Interesting.
They had this long to go through them and comply with the EFTA without redacting over 500 pages of the files.
So it's all good now, right? Like when a bank robber "gives" the money back after they've been caught. No harm, no foul.
Grab em by the $100 bill. When you’re a bank robber they LET you do it.
You need to give the robber some of the cash as a reward for having the moral fortitude to return the money /s
Can we organize a class action lawsuit against Trump and his cronies? That seems to be the only language he speaks.
If it were a different admin I would think it stands on a slim sliver of hope. But with this one, it will go to the Supreme Corrupt and they'll just bote 6-3 in favor or trump.

Good chance for at least 1 in 934 to be on board with leaking unredacted files...
I hope so, I really do. This is so much bigger than Watergate, and involves multiple US presidents one of which is the current seated. So many people are committing treason by defending this child sex trafficking and rape in the name of protecting national security.

USA presidents are not even the tip of this iceberg
uk royals have been implicated and goodness knows who else

The next level down is whether any politicians knew anything and said nothing, as that would make them morally unfit, and if more people were victimised because people who knew didn't speak up there should be consequences.
That’s my point, Trump is cover for the rich and powerful that are also implicated
Trump isn’t in power either, he is in that role for one reason and one reason only to protect himself and the others on that list.
That to me is the whole reason he is sitting in the White House
Trump is the rich and powerful. He literally makes political decisions for the most economically, diplomatically and militarily powerful state on the planet. Sure if more information comes out showing he's being blackmailed, all involved should be imprisoned forever, but as it stands he is as high as any conspiracy can go.
Why can’t folk see he is just the mouthpiece of the billionaire backers, Russia and the other actors of 2025
Still a position of power
And the currently seated president is clearly THE WORST OF ALL based on sheer volume!
Remembered seeing one that was quite damning on Trump and his fascination on the nipples.
That one was from the Guiffre vs Maxwell case and was already public for over a year.
Yes but in these latest files I think they redacted any mention of Trump in those files even though they were already released. It’s so obvious what they’re doing, it’s really insane.

Yes, they have redacted trump from many things and most definitely have left out many documents pertaining to trump but the comment I replied to is an example of a document that was not redacted and has been public for awhile.
They likely only interacted with the files in a secure facility. They don’t all have it on like a thumb drive.

You think there's a good chance 1 of the highly vetted career agents is going to throw everything away to release unredacted CSAM?
That implicates the most corrupt president in US history? I would hope one of them has the balls.
They aren't releasing any CSAM, redacted or not.
Just for nothing to happen in the aftermath of losing their job and possibly facing criminal/civil consequences.
I really don't know what kind of smoking gun people are expecting from these files
I'm sure they were super tight with security protocol around working on this. Probably took peoples phones away, their access to pen and paper etc.
They were probably each given assigned parts, not the full file.
Because they focused on Trump and other predators they want to protect.
I saw a post saying like $800k in JUST overtime pay to scrub Trump from the files.
If you read Virginia Giuffre's book Nobody's Girl, she talks about the thousands of photos that Epstein had.
How can there be so many people who are perfectly fine to cover up the crimes of a pedophile? Like no one is like "f this guy" and willing to release unredacted info?
We should make outrageous claims up about what's actually in the redacted bits, shit that would be embarrassing for trump and his ilk. Force them to have to prove our bullshit wrong. By unredacting the files.
Its already been a thing. The jd Vance couch fucker story. We could just take control of the narrative and make shit up.
We don't have to. What has been downplayed all along is the number of underage male victims.
Yeah I have been thinking about this a lot.
No no Trump is a victim. There's photos of Trump taking it up the pooper from Bill Clinton and Epstein giving him a golden shower. Apparently he was a good little boy.
False cause fallacy. As much as I hate to admit it, he's still innocent until proven guilty
Or the much simpler "Trump is a victim"
The law is doesn't define victim, and Trump has certainly been a victim of association with Epstein.
That might be the actual answer if they are pushed for one.
He is an accomplice not a victim
Yeah maybe Epstein raped Trump
you saw the bubba email.
Trump might have a claim to being extorted by him.
Enough to make the supreme court make a 5-4 decision in his favor.
Bully them, be monsters, it's their only language.
Absolutely. Taking the high road is what got us in this mess. You’re gonna get dirty when you wrestle with pigs.
DOJ official admits Republicans omitted from Epstein Files
https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/s/Ykkh2hOlIR
And apperantly added stuff that wasn't related? I.e. some Clinton and Jackson stuff
It's not clear if they added it: it's entirely possible that photo was in Epstein's collection. I'm willing to believe that he could have had a copy.
But the fact that the photo was publicly available, the identities of everyone was public knowledge, means that the redactions look really, really, really bad. It looks like they are using the redactions to fabricate a narrative and there's not really any way to suggest otherwise without just removing the redacitons.
Administration trying to cover up the most heinous crime imaginable
Conservatives: "Huh? That's bad optics.. G'day"
All they have to do is black out the faces of the victims. Saying the photos put them at risk is straight up bullshit.
We see you, Trump. We see you more than ever before. And we are not going to forget.
Let's stop worrying about MORE proof. He has never met a crime he didn't want to get away with. Let's worry about...
Wait for it...
A C C O U N T A B I L I T Y
Thank you for coming to my TED talk
I have very little trust that the DOJ is really releasing everything. They have already been caught multiple times hiding shit, why should we believe them now?
We should not. Ever again.
” The justice department said the image had been flagged by federal prosecutors in New York for potentially exposing victims of Epstein.”
I take it that they are saying any girl appearing with trump is more likely to be a victim.
that begs the question of how trustworthy and neutral the very people handling this matter are. What a farce, the stains on american justice and democracy wont go away for a while.
MAGA 2016: "Let's vote for a billionaire with no experience in politics, military, or government. What could possibly go wrong?"
MAGA 2025: "So, the democrats uh, well, Biden had some, uh...HEY LOOK! VENEZUELA!"
And they have the nerve to complain about unqualified DEI hires when this guy has no clue how the government works.
It's the photos that were in Epstein's safe that we need to see. When are those getting released?
It will be released with a one big black rectangle.
So we’re still supposed to believe that the FBI took a picture with other pictures visible, but did not enter those photos as evidence?? Where are the pics of Trump with the bikini girls?
Literally photographic evidence that the DOJ of suppressing evidence.
They really anticipated this story just blowing away
Those are different.
One, the pic is in the drawer on the left. In the other, the pic is on the desk to the right, above the other drawer.
That photo has been circulated in full form for at least a year
Even if it had been, the newly attempted redaction is just more proof that they are protecting a guilty man.
It's the photo beneath that one.
What are the chances? Off all the people in the world, how come a sex offender has a picture of Trump in his drawer surrounded by ladies in bikinis.
Why use the word “restore” like it’s a piece of art? Shouldn’t it be more like, “attempts to pretend that nobody saw it”
This blatant cover-up cannot end well for them. It’s the only hope I have.
Everyone knows he’s in there. It’s inevitable that it comes out.
I just hope it happens while he’s alive enough to watch and suffer.
This is 100% to be able to claim that it was simply just a technical difficulty causing the image to be temporarily unavailable. They removed it intentionally, and they only restored it because they got fucking caught.
Don’t let them forget.
Department of Justice only exists to protect pedophiles.
Trumps' photos could be clear as day and ANY evidence against him wouldn't fucking matter, not one single bit. It's almost laughable to think anything that he's done-- or will do--will matter or be of any consequence.
America has spoken, it's game over.
MAGA is now MARA.
“make America ____ again”
What else did they forget?
Apology to Michael Jackson's estate and Diana Ross. I'm not sure about Clinton.
Meaning of there are pics of Trump with a victim, instead of bluring her face, they will using not release them at all. Wonder why.
Is this why he’s pushing the “let’s invade Greenland” crap again?
But what if they HADN"T been caught, would they have restored it then?
Seriously, though, was anyone redacted other than Trump? If so, what possible threat to national security could they be? If not, and all the black parts are about him…
Yes. Massie said the files he has have the names of about 20 billionaires in them as clients. None of them are in what the doj released.
People fixate on Trump and Clinton but honestly I think the big bombshell is Epstein and Wexner laundering CIA drug money to finance off-the-books black ops and arms deals. If Wexner gets indicted it will blow the whole thing wide open and destabilize the country. The redactions are considered a matter of national security because the release of that information would result in a civil unrest on an unprecedented scale.
There will be zero unrest. Do you remember the panama papers?
Yeah there will be zero unrest. There will be no indictments. The FBI and DOJ will do everything in their power to protect people like Wexner.
“See he is in the files.” 🙄
The weird thing is that he isn't in the files despite being friends with the guy for ages.
The government is trying so hard to cover it up, Trump is as good as guilty to anyone with more than two brain cells.
Now if only anonymous could pop up and release the entire file set unredacted
This is surprising. The Trump administration almost never changes course and this time is especially odd since people will have to ask what else was improperly redacted. I guess the only constant is that they will continually make the worst decisions possible.
Does it even matter? Like, seriously, even if we provided incontrovertible evidence of Trump getting sucked off by a toddler do you honestly think that it would change anything with his base, conservative thinking, or the pestilence that is MAGA rhetoric at large?
I unironically do not think it would change anything. I feel like it would somehow only strengthen their wild and unhinged beliefs.
Hardly matters. Like two MAGAs will care, and it will change the minds of zero members of Congress, senators, or scotus justices.
What a bunch of incompetent clowns.
The bigger thing here is the pope is in a photo. THE POPE 😳
Damn it. Thought it said photoS.
I dont care the Epstein files, he is dead anyway....can we dig the Trump files instead?
Obviously he was pictured with the victims because he was ‘helping’ them at the time……
Makes sense that they originally redacted it to protect victims - no doubt victims experience trauma even seeing a picture of their attacker.
