"I get the concerns that AG Bondi and FBI Director Patel may try to scrub all Trump references and images in the Epstein files before they are released. Well, there are nearly 1,000 FBI/DOJ staff who looked at the files in March with no compartmentalizing, limits, or controls."
"There are nearly 1,000 FBI/DOJ staff who looked at the files in March with no compartmentalizing, limits, or controls."
"Three former FBI and Justice Department officials said the employees were directed to "find something, anything, that could be released to the public to satisfy the mounting clamor from the angry legions of President Trump's supporters.""
"Because if the AG and FBI director try to scrub Trump references now, there will be more than a few FBI/DOJ whistleblowers who will notice the removals and alert Congress. Check mate."
Both chambers of Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act requiring release of the documents. Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered DOJ staff to review more than 100,000 pages earlier in the year. Nearly 1,000 FBI and DOJ employees examined the files in March without compartmentalizing or strict controls. Three former FBI and Justice Department officials said employees were directed to "find something, anything" that could be released to placate supporters. Observers argue that widespread prior access means any retroactive removals of Trump references would likely be noticed by multiple FBI/DOJ whistleblowers and reported to Congress.
