"The law expressly disallows redactions "on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity." So why has the Department of Justice blacked out the names of adult men-or women, God help us-sending emails to Epstein that say things like this: a) "P*ssy hunters!!" Yes, that's it. That's all the email said."
"Robson's name is not a secret. She's been publicly identified at least since 2009 as an Epstein associate. Ironically, she's also been one of the loudest voices denouncing the many redactions in the files. She's right. Way, way too many names have been X-ed out. I'm guessing the DOJ must have gone through at least 70,000 redactor pens."
The Epstein files contain extensive DOJ redactions that appear unjustified under law. A columnist's own published work appears in the files with one name redacted: Haley Robson, an Epstein victim and procurer whose identity has been publicly known since 2009. Robson herself has criticized the excessive redactions. The law explicitly forbids redactions based on embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity. Yet the DOJ has blacked out names of individuals sending crude, explicit emails to Epstein. Examples include vulgar messages about sexual matters, with senders' identities and affiliations obscured. The redaction scope appears excessive and potentially violates legal standards governing document disclosure.
