Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

There's nothing left.

But in all seriousness, there's likely too many higher up maga party people that redacting them would decimate the list, and it's alphabetical so it would be obvious.

I'm not that up for US politics, but it wasn't released under Dems rule either

Democrats are not saints, either. Clinton (Bill), for example, was a buddy of Epstein too, remember. It's entirely possible that there is dirt on him or other higher up among the dems that don't want it released. There are also leaders and/or ministers of foreign nations in the file. The USA releasing it could impact relationships with allies.

Chances are it will never be fully released unless hackers manage to get it and do it.

I'm sure Democrats would be fine with sacrificing Clinton for Trump.

I'm not sure I'd bet money on that. A lot of the dem leadership is a monolithic good-old-boys club that always seems to have each other's backs.

Democrats leadership is nothing but controlled opposition or absolute weak morons, take your pick. Either way they have no interest in the public's best interest. Look no farther than the absolute NOTHINGNESS they've done to stop Trump every step of the way.

Dem leadership is complicit in this Epstein coverup at the very least. Obligatory fuck trump/maga/conservatives/etc. etc. I'm not a both-sideser, but in this case both sides refuse to release the list or prosecute anyone other than Ghislaine.

It could be 10% and still be enough redactions to drive up the conspiracy meter. Just imagine if it was:

  • Tony, first name
  • Redacted
  • Twirp, first name

(I'm suggesting that there are enough higher-ups to bury it)
