  1. Please let there be at least one leaker in the people that were tasked with this. Please please please please please.

  6. Doesn’t the order compel the release of the files unredacted, or requiring detailed documentation justifying a redaction? Is this just pointing out their wasting money to run interference for Hair Shitler?

  7. All that money, and they forgot to redact the part where they spent $1 million redacting

  8. Tens of millions of children don’t have access to food or health care.

    What the fuck are we doing America

  9. Why redact? Why would we need to redact files from a pedofile? Why can’t the American people know? Why is the trump administration protecting Pedofiles?

  11. We just need one Dwigt moment hopefully there was at least one agent who pulls a Micheal Scott

  12. So we’re paying with our tax dollars to coverup the names of rich and powerful men who raped children, including quite possibly the current President of the United States of America.

    Take a step back and look at that. How does that make you feel?

  13. Our tax dollars hard at work to make all our lives better, right MAGA?

  14. Can someone tell me why anything would be redacted other than victim information? National security is not at stake. The Department of Justice said months ago that there was nothing to pursue in the files.

    This is corruption both by the republicans and democrats before them.

  17. You hard-earned tax dollars at work, people.

    For the GOP to protect pedophiles!!

  20. Sure seems like something a deep state cover up would be doing. What are they hiding ?

  21. Small cost to pay to protect a bunch of pedophiles!!!

  22. You guys are gonna be mad, but if any administration were to attempt to make good on the promise to release the Epstein files, it’d be necessary to do something similar

  23. “Take trumps name out of everything.” What an order to give.

  24. It’s well known Trump hates paying overtime wages.

  26. It made headlines in the UK because a labour MP paid over £1,300 on expenses for a camera kit to start uploading onto social media.

    I genuinely knew people who was like that fucker he should pay it back.

    Then I read something like this from America. I have no idea how you aren’t going on the streets protesting.

  27. I’m starting to think this might maybe be an unsafe place to ‘start a family.’

  28. The US tax payers paid nearly $1 million in overtime FTFY

  29. Its gross that there are no checks and balances for doing this. They can just redact at will? This is so fucked

  30. How could they pay $1 million to redact names in a democrat hoax?

  31. Criminals protecting criminals….but they’re the good guys?

    MAGA, Wake the F**k up!

  32. Our tax money is being used to cover up crimes committed by people who decide where our tax money goes?

  33. This marks the first and only time someone working overtime for trump was actually paid.

  34. Every agent needs to be called to testify under oath. This is unacceptable.

  35. Someone somewhere has the original everything backed up on a USB drive and in the cloud. 100%

  37. The good news, is that one of his victims will simply need to point to 1 or 2 bits they believe is Trump. And that can prove he was hiding his name. Even better, congress just needs to call them up, put them under oath, and then we have proof

  38. >The FBI released files to Bloomberg investigative Reporter Jason Leopold following a civil lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act. These files indicated that the agency had spent at least $851,344 the week of March 17, 2025, in overtime pay for 934 agents mobilized to process and redact the Epstein files as part of a project called Epstein Transparency Project 2025. Snopes verified the records were authentic using public documents the FBI filed in response to the lawsuit. The available documents neither confirmed nor disproved the related claims that the overtime pay was specifically for removing Trump’s name from the files or that all of the money went to “redaction training.”

    Called the Epstein Transparency Project 2025…. JFC they are laughing at us to our faces as they rape our children…

  39. I’d there isn’t a moral or ethical person in the group, should the agency be allowed to continue to exist?

    They have to know a Democrat will be in office and they will be made to testify.

  40. Those files are never coming out, even with the official order for it. There’s no enforcement mechanisms left to force it. They’ll just come up with some tissue paper thin excuse for why they can’t release them despite being ordered to, Redditors will yell about it for a few days, and then everything will go back to business as usual.

  41. Are they really this stupid to think a redacted version will be enough to please the public?!

    RELEASE THE REST OF THE FILES YOU PUSSIES!!!!
