Their goal is to smear victims and hide perpetrators.

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.

I hate how the lawmakers in the US still follow the old decorum where they pretend to give administration officials the benefit of the doubt. They pretend the redactions were in good faith, when they supposedly arrived at the justice department already redacted, supposedly for grand jury reasons, even though the bill said the whole documents were to be reviewed and redacted to protect witnesses and ongoing investigations.

We all know these redactions weren't done in good faith. Why keep the old decorum, the administration isn't. It just makes it easier for you to fail when you afford them the courtesy that they don't return.

We need a new bill that gives all the unredacted information to an independent monitor, one that is trustworthy, but whose identities are kept secret even, to redact to protect witnesses. Forget investigations. The only investigations they are doing are to protect the co conspirators of Epstein. Keep the id of the people redacting secret to prevent desperate rich powerful people from threatening them.

The other way is to leak it all, all of it, to multiple news organizations, and let them redact to protect victims. If some, like the New York Times, improperly redacts to protect their favorite rich guys, and Israel and their Israel connections, the other organizations that receive the leaks might not and the NYTimes would be exposed for what they are, less trustworthy than they were, less brave than they were, and in league with fascists in Israel even as they champion a final solution for millions of people.

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.

Why can't they just tell us who they are?

What is difficult for them to understand that the only ones that should be protected in the files are the victims.

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.

well how about we dont. They should account.

I think the whole country assumed it before the lawmakers alleged it.

There are enough breadcrumbs within the 3 mil pdfs to accurately deduce the identities of these [redacted] individuals

What a fucking disgusting society we live in.
