  1. Why is everyone fighting to hide Trump’s crimes? What is the matter with this country? Can’t career agents pushback and have it all released? I don’t see how they can not do that!

  2. From the Daily Beast (originally reported by the Wall Street Journal):

    Newly released internal emails show the FBI mounting a costly overtime-fueled project dubbed the “Special Redaction Project”.

    Bloomberg’s records show the bureau paid $851,344 in overtime ***between March 17 and March 22 alone*** and clocked 4,737 overtime hours from January through July with more than 70 percent of that in March as personnel worked nights and weekends.

  3. Donald Trump sexually penetrated children. He forced children to pleasure him sexually. Everyone who is helping him cover it up is every bit as guilty for his crimes as he is. These crimes are much worse than any “treason”…

  4. Holy shit. FBI blew taxpayers $850k just for *overtime* in under a week only to erase Trump’s name from the files

  7. Good thing MAGA are bad at technology.

    The FBI has *copies* of the files, I believe the Epstein estate has the originals, which has been cooperating with congressional subpoenas.

    The truth will come out eventually.

  8. Not releasing them makes it obvious you are hiding something. Redacting them is no different. Innocent people don’t hide stuff.

  9. FBI agents, people purportedly tasked with protecting Americans, read through the heinous crimes Trump’s committed against adolescent girls and still protect him? These agents deserve the wrath of a justice system they pretended to work for.

  10. I’m surprised they’re doing this *now.*

    I thought that would have been Pam and Ka$h’s top priority since the beginning—or at least ever since the MAGA blowup over the Epstein files in June.

    Guess their incompetence might serve us for once.

  11. So these are the files that we were assured didn’t exist not that long ago?

  12. Amazing to watch a coverup of a heinous crime happening in real time. Using our tax dollars to fund pedophiles. You don’t have to wear a tinfoil hat to see how bad this is.

    Cannot fathom why no one comes out with the truth. I’ve lost all faith and trust in our judiciary.

  15. We really are lucky, Trump surrounds himself with such incompetent people.

  17. Is anyone actually surprised this was going on? I’ve said since trump magically announced to release them that there’d be redacted info, altered files, or a coverup.

  18. Isn’t it mind-blowing that the agents who read over Cheeto’s crimes remain loyal to him?

  20. Where do you find an agent who is willing to cover up the evidence of sexual crimes committed against children? Who is involved in this whole cover up since the beginning and has the power to do something about it is just sick. Learning just how many awful people exist in this world since trumps first term has been so demoralizing and makes me not want to be a part of it

  21. I will never understand why so many people break their backs to try and cover up Donald Trump’s crimes and just general creepiness.

  22. They truly thought it was going to bounce between the house and the senate and stay there, didn’t they?

  23. I am so sick and tired of this corrupt administration!  

  24. MAGA, your leader is a pedophile. YOU voted for a pedophile. YOU continue to support a pedophile. Reflect on that.

  25. Conservatism is really going crazy right now. He is becoming more and more aggressive and threatens to seize power all over the world. And it’s not just that. He’s like a virus that makes people lose their minds and morals. People who catch this “virus” become like zombies – brainless and dangerous. If this goes on, it could turn into a real zombie apocalypse.

  26. Doesn’t the Estate have copies? Just leak them. Enough shenanigans. 

  27. This government sucks. It’s like they’re not even trying, even when they pretend to try.

  28. The Epstein estate should do a power move and match DOJ’s release of the documents, but unaltered. 

  29. Plenty of money to cover up the crimes and build a ballroom. No money for healthcare or food assistance.

  30. I’m praying for that one FBI agent to release the unredacted files, but release it all and let hell rain loose in these sick bastards.

  31. How are this many people ok covering up such heinous crimes against children? Not one person has thought the public must see the truth? Unbelievable.

  32. Meanwhile the conservative hivemind on these files has somehow become, “Shutup libs, they were released already and there was nothing bad about Trump!”

  34. Lol, FBI using almost $1M to protect pedophiles

    Republicans love that

  35. At this point im starting to think trump might be the only one named in the damn thing

  36. We should create a gofundme to reward the whistle blower that releases the unredacted files.

  37. In what other situation does the accused party get to also be the ones in charge of all the evidence?! And then can just wait as long as they want to turn it all over? And can delete whatever they want before doing so?

    This is all so fucked up. All of it.

  38. I hope some people in the FBI had to foresight to make copies of the unredacted documents.

  39. Why isn’t this story ever making the news? It makes you wonder about its credibility.

  40. Am I the only Redditor that refuses to pay for a Daily Beast subscription? And why does the tag always say “POSSIBLE” paywall? I’ve never seen where it didn’t have one.

  41. The agents who cover for Trump need to rot in prison for life. Traitors through and through.

  42. At this point it doesn’t matter if Trump is in the files or not. His base has already determined they will support him even if he were to rape their own kids. They really don’t care about anything or anyone aside from themselves.

  43. Funny how they always find a black marker faster than they find the people responsible.

  44. They are still working on it??? wtf is he all over it, like every page?

  45. Remember when Kash Patel made a career for himself saying the fbi needed to release these files
