A staffer in the Justice Department said in a secretly recorded video that the department would redact any Republican names from its investigative files on the late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

The administration has been funneling the Epstein files to Capitol Hill in a supposed show of transparency, but only liberals’ names will remain visible, the staffer said.

“If they’re released in any way, it’s going to be very redacted. They’ll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal Democratic people in those files,” Joseph Schnitt, acting deputy chief of the DOJ’s Office of Enforcement Operations, says in the video.

    I have said it before, no use hoping for/expecting a full unedited release of the epstein files.
    (but I fully encourage continuous demands for it, to let them know it will not be forgotten and they can not get away with it without repercussions later on)

    The maga republicans will never release an original and untampered file. It will bring lasting damage to trump, their current election power, and most of all it jeopardizes project 2025 greatly.

    Project 2025 is here to stay and no threat to it will be tolerated.

    They will keep releasing edited/incomplete documents, hoping a complete version never surfaces (but hidden documents/videos are most likely out there, it is almost tangible in the air how fearful some are that more info will surface)

    But added to that, the Democrats currently at the top also will not allow the full files to be released and will thwart efforts where they can.

    This will be the 2000’s version of the JFK assassination files for a long time to come.
