    Remember kids, every black line says the word Trump over and over and over. Spread the word.

    Supposedly there was about 300Gb of material, compared to about 3Gb released so far, so it's fair to assume the other 99% is videos of Trump fucking kids unless/until they release the rest to show otherwise.

    I have no idea how the retractors live with themselves. What the fuck.

    FYI a retractor is a surgical implement. I believe the word you were looking for is detractor.

    Trump, active politicians, wealthy CEOs, connected public figures, and even Israeli spies and handlers.

    Take your pick of Epstein associates that the US govt would opt to protect for reasons other than the public good or national security.

    Why did all these people allow their photos to be taken? Like Clinton and Gates... "sure take my photo with this young woman so we can all remember what a great time we're having"

    That was part of the deal. Mutual blackmail. It's been alluded to several times in the Maxwell testimonies.

    This is supposedly where the phrase “thick as thieves” comes from. If thieves were working together, they’d share stories of some of their previous crimes. So the group would all have blackmail on each individual member. The idea was that no individual person would rat, because then everyone they’ve worked with in the past would rat on them.

    Due to a system specifically designed by and for them and their fellow economical and political elites, they consider themselves untouchable by the consequences meant for mere mortals.

    The worst part is that this megalomaniacal assumption is almost invariably proven correct 🤬

    You might be joking, but in Slovakia there have been a few censored PDFs I've seen where they just used black highliter. Like, the text was still there.
    I thought it was something rare when I found that, but someone on Reddit found same shit elsewhere too.

    Here's an example: https://www.teleoff.gov.sk/images/urad/odbory-oddelenia/odbor-statneho-dohladu-elektronickych-komunikacii/rozhodnutia-statneho-dohladu-elektronickych-komunikacii/rozhodnutie-zakaze-poskytovat-siete-sluzby-z-29-4-2025.pdf

    Just select the "censored" text and copy it.

    Why hasn’t the actual document been leaked yet? At first I thought it was because it couldn’t be used if it was. But there’s literally a law ordering its release, so just dump it.

    They were sealed by the courts until late 2023, and it should never have been his job to shame his political rivals because Trump should never have been president again in the first place. Everyone already knew Trump was buddy buddy with Epstein.

    If Biden had released the files Maga wouldn't have believed him anyways, some of them only realized they were duped when Trump promised to release them then claimed they didn't exist.

  • This. The Biden vs. Trump thing is irrelevant here.

    And we know pretty certainly he wasn't protecting his own ass. We are basically guaranteed that the FBI was instructed to flag any incriminating evidence against Biden.

    We also know for certain at this point that Trump is throwing up every possible barrier to seeing his mention.

    Of course they are. Anyone who expected something different is unbelievable naive.

    There is a provision in the law that they can withhold anything related to "national security", so they can basically filter at will. You can't claim something you'll never see not to falling under that provision...

    Firstly: the partial / redacted release was entirely predictable.

    Secondly, I dont understand where we are at now.

    Is this impeachment going to be like all the others and be meaningless?

    If JD Bimbo lady was charged and convicted wouldn't Trump just pardon her?

    I can at least answer this one

    Is this impeachment going to be like all the others and be meaningless?

    Yes. No impeachment has ever had any teeth to it. This man broke the record for being the first to be impeached his first term. Then he broke another record by being the first to be impeached twice. Why not a third?

    Impeachment of Trump is not yet on the table, but impeachment of Bondi and Trump's personal lawyer currently acting as Bondi's deputy, that's on the table and could result in a removal.

    While it's true that no impeachment of a president has succeeded, the process has succeeded several times.

    Also remember that while Trump is somehow bulletproof, his hanger ons enjoy zero protection.

    Impeachment, maybe. Removal of any Republican would require too many Republican Senators to ever be feasible.

    "Obviously the founding fathers meant to exclude ilegal impeachments. And since it would be from the crooked democrats and RINOs, any impeachment at this point would be an ilegal one." (Says Trump and the Supreme Court probably.)

    Nah, don't worry: it's going to be even MORE meaningless, now that the fascist criminals are in full control of every single branch of government and may well succeed in remaking campaign and election laws so that it stays that way no matter how big the majority of people disapproving of them gets.

    Of course they're missing, did anybody thing anything else would happen? They'll release just enough salacious material to keep the voyeurs satisfied, but none of it will be actionable, at least not against MAGAs or Oligarchs. They'll keep the good stuff quarantined, or perhaps it's already been burned.

    They even reported how FBI agents were taken off regular assignments to comb through for any mention of Dear Leader and rack up overtime. That was months ago.

    This is a rigged investigation that will go nowhere. The real investigation is into Epstein's finances. Where did his fortune come from? Who was paying him? For what? There are lots of interesting questions around his fortune, and they are all tied to financial paper trails.

    Follow the money.

    Since we only know of a few "politically exposed individuals", I'm just going to have to assume that all the redactions are pertaining to them. Probably, primarily, Trump...since I doubt, if the rumors are lies or exaggerations, that Trump would go through so much trouble to protect Clinton.

    In which case, why is Trump so afraid of all of these documents, to the point he has to black out nearly everything?

    If he's truly innocent he shouldn't have any problem proving it, right?

    If you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to fear, right?

    Right, Taco?

    So c'mon. It should be easy to weasel yourself out of this.

    Unless...it's not.
