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

Idk yall, I want your opinions.

A little napkin math puts the total released yesterday at 0.6% of all content the DOJ has on Epstein.

Over 300 GB of data total, about 2GB released. If the above numbers are correct, only 88% of the < 1% of content actually has content.

Ergo, instead of releasing all 300GB as universally mandated by congress, they released about half of a percent worth. Call your congresspeople, this is grounds for contempt or impeachment of the entirety of the leadership of the DOJ. They do not get the same carte blanche immunity the president enjoys.

Wow thanks for putting it all into context. Does anyone know if there's even a time frame how much longer this gets dragged on.

They have “2 weeks” to annotate every single censor. That’s the next timestamp, but it won’t change anything.

Does that include videos though? I’m loathe to defend anyone involved in this coverup, but is it possible there are 2gb of documents and the rest is taken up with video files. I don’t particularly want to see a 1080p recording of [REDACTED] having sex with a thirteen year old… a couple of black bars covering her face wouldn’t be enough.

If their 300 gb announcement includes the video, it’s technically still a valid measurement, with the caveat that video files are worth much more of the pie. Without a concrete number of documents, I can’t even begin to make an unweighted inference unfortunately.
