🚨🇺🇸 EPSTEIN FILES RELEASED IN DELIBERATELY DIFFICULT FORMAT: 33,295 INDIVIDUAL IMAGE FILES

Instead of releasing the Epstein documents as searchable PDFs, the House Oversight Committee uploaded every single page as an individual image file, making it nearly impossible to search or analyze efficiently.

The 33,295 pages are displayed as separate image files rather than consolidated, searchable documents.

Democrats claim the vast majority of documents have already been released publicly and only 3% contain new information.

The committee has not explained why they chose this cumbersome format over standard PDF release.

Critics argue this isn't transparency but deliberate obfuscation, forcing researchers and journalists to manually review over 33,000 individual images rather than using basic search functions.

The release format makes it exponentially harder to identify connections, search for specific names, or analyze patterns across the documents.

1. Fuck these people. I am going to file my taxes as .png files.

[misanthrope]

2. I guarantee you someone is downloading then converting them

One would imagine we had some who anticipated this.

[Quanta]

6. Pretty easy to convert to PDF with optical character recognition

But still a long and cumbersome process with that many files. Obvious obfuscation indeed.

3. Gee, do you think Trump is in these files?

4. Is this the real Epstein files that Bondi had on her desk?

I mean is it everything, even if it is impossible to search?

7. Very far from everything

Someone on msnbc noted its a small %

5. Conservatives protecting their orange Jesus.

8. Those image files can be ocr'd in 8 minutes flat

9. AI can sift through that shit in seconds.

Then again, there are times when Gemini gets confused when it comes to image to text translation. But I assume chatGPT does a better job.
