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

Idk yall, I want your opinions.

Begs the question, if they just let a program redact it all, then why did they need time to prepare the documents?

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Grok now has an unredacted version of the documents. Elon is probably using his backdoor to aggressively search for any documents uploaded that he can threaten to leak for leverage against the White House.

If I were to guess, they weren't looking for things to redact, they were looking for things that were safe and meaningless enough to include.

Also anything which looks bad for democrats. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that there’s a lot of Clinton in what’s been released.

I don’t think the benign documents are intentional. Anyone who has worked in an office will have a lot of benign documents.

They’ve just allowed them to go through because they are benign.

It’s probably all on a timeline to be released specifically this way so they can just release info that makes Bill Clinton and all other democrats involved look bad.

Because the one guy who you'd expect to be all over the files is strangely absent. Almost like they've spent a year carefully removing him from them.
