The fact that random people on the Internet are outsmarting Trump's DOJ in detecting the removal of Epstein Files shows just how amateurish Pamela Jo Bondi and her D-list team are.
There are competent coverups and sloppy, easily detected coverups. This is the latter.

Among the 13,000 documents released, some are extensively or virtually totally redacted.
While the law permits withholding information to protect victims, obscured portions include the names and faces of numerous Epstein associates.

It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.

So last night as I was wondering why Pam Bondi diverted almost 200 National Security attorneys who should be chasing hackers and spies to redact the Epstein files, I remembered that John Eisenberg, who heads it, is the guy who altered the Trump-Zelenskyy transcript.

The primary long-term foreign policy goal of Putin for decades has been to separate the US from a united Europe militarily, economically, & diplomatically, breaking up NATO in the process. This Trump admin is what he’s been waiting for, but he would love a Vance admin even more.

Trump isn’t fixing the economy.
He’s trying to rewire how people perceive it.
That works on some brains.
It completely fails on others.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
