    >Newly released emails obtained by Bloomberg on Tuesday provide a rare look inside the FBI’s handling of the vast Jeffrey Epstein files, revealing how agents and FOIA personnel meticulously reviewed the redacted records earlier this year.

    >The documents, released to Bloomberg reporter Jason Leopold via Freedom of Information Act requests, shed light on what the bureau has called the “Epstein Transparency Project” – including the striking number of manhours it took agents to comb through files.

    >The emails show that around 1,000 FBI special agents from the New York and Washington field offices joined FOIA staff at a Winchester, Virginia, facility to prepare the files for public release. […] Personnel were trained on redaction protocols through PowerPoint presentations and instructional videos […]

    >Emails also reveal that agents reviewed a wide range of materials, including “search warrant execution photos,” “street surveillance video” and “aerial footage from FBI search warrant execution,” the report said.

    >One email on March 24 noted: “Phase 1 redactions are complete” and added that “Phase 2” preparations were underway for “final delivery to DOJ.” By mid-April, personnel continued to check and refresh files in preparation for public release. […] Among the documents withheld from Leopold was a May 2 email sent by an FBI employee with an attachment titled, “Epstein Overview FINAL.”

  3. How many millions in tax payer dollars will it take before the US citizens realize their president is a child molesting fraud who is using the country as his own personal bank account to erase his prior transgressions, golf, and have lavish parties?

  7. So taxpayers paid $850k to censor Trump’s name out of the Epstein files?

  9. This also means a whole bunch of FBI agents are aware of the content and if it is failed to be fully released whistle blower action.Out of all those people it’s going to be really hard to bury it now .

  11. Excuse me. I would like to correct the record. WE THE PEOPLE paid overtime to FBI, so pedorump could cover his butt.

  12. Near a million dollars in over time and likely more than a million dollars in straight time to take any mention of any Republican or GOP donor out of the files. It is totally sad that the FBI has individuals that think violating the law is a good thing.

  13. Has Karoline come out with an official story to “explain” this? Her public lies are only getting thinner as time goes by.

  14. Republicans: ‘We’ll not only protect pedophiles, we’ll pay extra to do so.’

    Imagine if Obama or Harris took similar actions to protect Bill Cosby.

  15. That’s A LOT of covering up for #DonnyEpstein by #PamBondageFFOYUSFlunky

  16. Which is time that should be spend finding actual criminals. This is a serious dereliction of duty. I bet it’s been a great year for criminals.
