6. IOW IQ47's lackeys at DOJ are finished scrubbing Trump's name from the files

Also, I know it's lurid and disturbing content, but if "any child sexual abuse material are redacted", what exactly does that leave? Will congress get to see things like what was in Epstein's fridge the day he was arrested?

Demanding 'the files' from THIS DoJ has always struck me as a (politically) dicey idea for Democrats. It'll NEVER be the real, original files. The books will be cooked, and there's a decent chance we'll end up collectively looking foolish when there's 0 mention of Trump anywhere in them, nor of any 'pedophile ring of the rich and powerful'. All blame will be put entirely on the dead guy in whatever version of 'the files' this DoJ decides to share with Congress.

And more importantly, no 'justice' for any victim will come out of the process.

Redacted to the point of inconsequentiality? FBI agents (5,000) allegedly went through it all to save Orange Julius. Evolve Dammit Aug 2025 #9
5000 FBI agents could see the unredacted files, but the congressional oversight committee cannot? (n/t) thesquanderer Aug 2025 #11
Apparently? Evolve Dammit Aug 2025 #12
According to fascists, yes. After all, they've compromised the FBI and don't fully trust any congressional committees Karasu Aug 2025 #13
