Analysis by Channel 4 News has identified emails within the latest Epstein files that suggest that the mountain of information released by the US Department of Justice could amount to just a fraction of the total – potentially just 2% of the information that the FBI retrieved from Epstein’s homes.

    Oh I’m sorry that you only got the text releases, you really want the photos and videos that make up 98% of the data?

    Edit: not defending the DoJ for covering up emails but “percentage of data” is a stupid metric here

      I mean it may seem stupid but it does show that not all the files where released as per the congressional law passed by unanimity and signed by President Trump.

      Not to mention if the damage the released files is already bad, imagine how much more is in the overwhelming majority not released

        as someone on reddit mentioned, they are releasing only small bits at a time so they can hope people can get bored of the news eventually.

            they are hoping to diluting outrage overtime, right now Republicans are told not to listen or see with thier eyes or ears on the epstein files. as epstein files came out some foreign entities already resigned due to it, none in america yet.

      I don’t want to be the one to view them, but I want them to be viewable.

        You want the CSAM to be viewable? You are calling for the public release of CSAM?

          If its viewable then it will be a lot more difficult for idiots to argue that the Epstein files is a hoax

            You want kid’s histories of child abuse viewable for… evidence?

            Wow… yeah, we need to re-traumatize kids by posting their naked bodies online because that’s how we prove Epstein really abused kids

              Then censor their identities. The reality is they’re trying to push the narrative that they didn’t abuse children, and if they released it that narrative would be completely crushed which would be far more devastating for the government than what’s happening right now.

          Yes. That is the only path forward given the statements and reusable to move forward with any charges.

          They are counting on our ick to get away with this. They have actually used this as a reason. Why should anyone still giving them the benefit of the doubt? They are child predators and child predator enablers. By siding with them, you become one of them.

          Releasing documentation of what happened doesn’t change what happened, it isn’t going to incentivize rich assholed to make more.
