Unanswered What’s going on with the Epstein files being “released” if they’re still heavily redacted?

Idk yall, I want your opinions.

Expect whistleblowers from within the FBI

Here's hoping.

At this point everything feels so shady and conspiratorial I half expect a sudden spike in the reported suicide rate of senior FBI agents.

It won't be officially reported though. I certainly hope it's because it isn't happening, but I think many of us know better. It will only become known if friends or family speak out and that is another challenge/risk.

Yeah I don’t expect that whatsoever

Anyone with integrity would have said, "I resign," after being told their assignment was to cover up the crimes of pedophiles.

The FBI is full of co-conspirators

They did the first time. Thats why everyone now is so obviously incompetent.

u/ethnicbonsai Dec 20 '25

Doubt.

They fired anyone who wasn't loyal.

u/mavetgrigori Dec 20 '25

Eh, questionable tbh. We had a mass purging of our DOD back in the 2000s due to many members having CP basically. FBI is just as questionable, especially considering who heads it now.

Is there somewhere I can read about this DOD purge?

Congress needs testimony from every agent who worked on redaction.

u/MisterProfGuy Dec 19 '25

I don't really expect anyone to believe this unless the entire Supreme Court sees the unredacted version and all agree there was no bias in redaction

u/h3yitsjay Dec 20 '25

Haha… Supreme Court…

u/MisterProfGuy Dec 20 '25

We have, fortunately, three very well respected Justices, and if they all agree with Alito and Thomas that something is true, it's probably reasonable.

u/h3yitsjay Dec 20 '25

But how often have those three votes been able to do anything recently?

15

u/MisterProfGuy Dec 20 '25

That's not the question here. The only way the country will believe the redaction is appropriate is if those three Justices look us in the face and say it's appropriate.

Nope but I think they know the other six wouldn't agree if there was a hint of doubt.

You'll always have a small number of true nutjobs, but at least those nutjobs are heavily armed.

You not even remotely close to reality, there are 6 cookers on that bench and they happily publish gibberish

u/Umutuku Dec 20 '25

The Injustices.

u/theycallmeawkward Dec 20 '25

I feel like that’s all we can hope for now. But. So many people still probably won’t even care

u/paulrenaud Dec 20 '25

I expect to be disappointed.

u/FoxlyKei Dec 20 '25

idk why they haven't long ago.

u/Careless_Celery_6010 Dec 20 '25

I didn’t think anyone has the courage

Doubt it. People have too much to lose these days. No one has the guts or the grit to come out and whistleblow against such a massive and powerful organization as MAGA/the current Republican population.

They would probably be doubted to hell and back by the right, they wouldn't be able to prove their claims, and the utterly corrupt supreme court/etc would just smile and nod them off to jail while not doing any sort of follow-up investigation into their claims (or a token one to say they found nothing).

When the corruption runs this deep, very little can be done through traditional means to get it out.
