How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?
That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

It’s so tawdry, grubby and shameful. I can’t stand the sleaze, greed, corruption. Trump, Epstein, Russia, Bannon, Palantir, Israel, Mandelson, Brexit, discredited royals, aging male hacks, hasbeens, wannabes. Old white men abusing young women, exploiting their status, corrupting our entire system. 🧵
The Peter Mandelson scandal on the front pages of UK papers. For decades Mandelson has briefed, lobbied & spun his views to senior journalists undermining colleagues in his own party & advocating for corporate interests (who were paying him). Finally the dam has burst.

Early last year I approached Rep Gimenez with an offer to work together to protect immigrants in his district & mine. He rudely told me he had his own strategy & walked off.
Apparently his strategy was to do nothing for over a year to actually stop this.

Gimenez: "We've been warning the administration about the enforcement that's been going on. We thought there should've been a course correction a long time ago, and now I guess it's gonna be forced on us by the Democrats. We should've been focusing on criminals and gang members, not grandmothers."
