Estimated percentage of Epatein files released on Friday deadline: 1%

[Anxy]

AP quotes the deputy AG putting the number of Epstein files to be released at “hundreds of thousands”. 4,000 were released on the Friday deadline mandated by Congress. Assuming there are 400,000 files, since we don’t know exactly how many “hundreds of thousands” there are,
We get 4000 /400,000 =0.01, or 1% of the files.

The release intensified suspicions that the Trump administration has something to hide:

1. What Bondi and Todd Blanche did was spit in the face of the court,

What a fucking blatant disregard of the 3rd leg of our democracy.

There aren't any legs left folks, we are an autocracy, oh and the military appears to be full blown Magat.

Democrats should have been prepared for this, should have come out with a unified message last night with their steps going forward.

The House Oversight committee needed a Democratic ranking member, the House voted down AOC and Jasmine Crockett so it's Robert Garcia's time to shine, time to show what the strategy is. Waiting.

Bondi and Blanche blatantly just violated the law, they are criminals.

At least AOC gave a fiery response last night. I don't want to hear Democrats tell me what the law is, how it was violated, I know all of that.

Maybe they are waiting for Marc Elias to sue?

14. I would almost bet that they are planning to figure out a way to remove the judges involved. Just to prove the control

this administration has over the legislative and judicial branches. This seems to be the way the dictators take total control. They have to continuously prove their power.

15. re: "Bondi and Blanche blatantly just violated the law, they are criminals." And it doesn't matter.

If there are any criminal consequences, Trump will pardon them.

[slightlv]

21. They did more than just spit in the face of the courts...

This was a hard-fought win from Congress. It was spitting in the face of House and Senate members... and, by extension, spitting in OUR faces once again (and trying to call it rain).

2. Chance that any released documents will mention Chump's name ... 0%

We need to realize that the true picture of Chump's corruption is slowly being erased from the Epstein evidence. But the Dept. of Treasury has records of Epstein's banking transactions and they HAVE NOT been scrubbed. When those Treasury documents are released, we'll get to see the real truth of the Epstein-Chump partnership.

7. That's good, but the world needs to see the photos.

[Wiz Imp]

17. There are at least 364 documents on the DOJ's searchable Epstein website that mention Donald Trump's name

So, no, your speculation of 0% is provably wrong.

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Blanche looked sleepless, beaten, pale, worried, frightened

He knows what he's doing. He's there to sell the official policy of releasing zilch.

[Joinfortmill]

8. Photos must have been BAD.

[BOSSHOG]

10. And at the end of his service he will be dismissed

Because that’s what republicans do to their own

[EarthFirst]

4. Estimated number of redactions that mention Trump: 99% nt

[Wiz Imp]

18. I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but his is a ridiculous claim.

Trump's name may have been redacted frequently but there are hundreds, possibly thousands of other names redacted as well.Trump may have even been the most redacted name (we don't know that), but I guarantee redactions of his name make up far less than 50% of total redactions.

People need to get it into their heads that this is about far ore than Trump. There were hundreds of men abusing those girls, and every single one of them need to be named. Too many people here are only interested in "getting" Trump. I want ALL perpetrators punished.

5. Bondi and Blanche were ordered to release all of the files

not 1%. They broke the law, they are criminals. Bondi and Blanche didn't even give a reason why they defied the court, they just did it.

Bondi and Blanche are protecting pedophiles, are protecting people who engaged in sex trafficking, the MSM isn't going to say that, Democrats need to say that.

[Joinfortmill]

6. My take: Trump is all over them. TickTock, you f*cker.

[paleotn]

9. Who expected any more than this? Who expected them to abide by the law? Anyone?

[gab13by13]

11. You are 100% spot on, which begs my question,

shouldn't Congressional Democrats have expected this also and been ready with a response, with a plan of action?

AOC has had the most vocal response I have seen.

It is almost mind blowing that Democrats can't at least push the narrative that Republicans are protecting pedophiles, are protecting sex traffickers, are catering to Ghislane Maxwell. I would flat out go there, the Republican party is the pedophile protector party. The MSM isn't going to say it. Say that MTG gets it, use her.

[paleotn]

12. Umm, they do and they have. You're just not listening.

So stop bashing Dems please. "Speak out more!" They are. "Go on TV!" They are. "Condemn Repukes as pedo protectors!" They are. Other than armed insurrection, I don't know what else they can do in this situation, so just stop it. This also begs the question...what are YOU doing?

[slightlv]

22. Gabs... it seems like the strong voices and able bodies we need

are nowhere to be found except within ourselves. And we're so far removed from the action, the party, the money we're all but impotent. I'm tired of it. Democrats better find their cajones and start pushing for the moral, ethical, truthful thing here. Call out all the bullshit that's being posted... included the 119 pages of black magic marker... and anything else the GOP and trump thought was cute beyond belief. I've got a few words of a song rolling around in my brain... something about "We Need a Hero"...?

13. Nothingberder

News reported/showed more pictures of Bill Clinton than any of trump.
Fully blacked-out pages, just like Mueller report.

16. H.R.4405 - Epstein Files Transparency Act

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/4405

"This bill requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) to publish (in a searchable and downloadable format) all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in DOJ's possession that relate to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein."

"This includes (1) materials that relate to Ghislaine Maxwell, (2) flight logs and travel records, and (3) individuals named or referenced (including government officials) in connection with the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein."

"DOJ is permitted to withhold certain information such as the personal information of victims and materials that would jeopardize an active federal investigation."

"Additionally, not later than 15 days after the required publication, DOJ must report to Congress (1) all categories of information released and withheld, (2) a summary of any redactions made, and (3) a list of all government officials and politically exposed individuals named or referenced in the published materials."

Laws are being broken and crimes are being committed in real time by Trump and his henchmen.

[Wiz Imp]

19. That 4000 number is effectively meaningless.

Some of the individual files they release may include hundreds of photos. We really have no idea what percentage they released, but I believe Rep. Robert Garcia said it was maybe 10% of everything they have.

20. Another giant FUCK YOU to the rule of law and the American people ..
