redacting Trumps name:
ð¨ The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trumpâs name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

Trumpâs name was in the original release. Now, itâs blacked out.
See for yourself.

(53,214 posts)As president, Trump has all sorts of ways to distract the public, but eventually the truth will come out. Hopefully, he hasn't destroyed everything before then.

I wonder if this one disappeared or was redacted.
Anyone know?

It's archived all over the internet.

A person really has to wonder if our military will also get involved to stop us from winning in 2026. Very SCARY times, i'm afraid. TSF has got to DIE! (naturally i mean of course. lol)

(707 posts)domain. Trump's crew, by redacting information already available, draw attention to it, and defeat the purpose of their edits.
These folks aren't exactly the "best and the brightest".

but what I can't tell is if that is "reissued" just now.

(34,918 posts)It's why they spent a million bucks on a thousand agents working 24/7 to redact stuff. This whole "release" thing is a fucking farce. But, all y'all knew that already. That being said, I'm glad it's being pointed out whenever it shows up.

(1,258 posts)Think they're going to feel shame? No, they're shameless the psychopathic lot of them, and their only concern is what their support base (50%+ of the country) feels.
Their cult is fine - whatever Trump does is great, and maybe even mandatory.
The general public doesn't care. They may well be deluded into thinking everybody at the top acts like this. They could even be right!
A few true believers are having existential crises - who cares about them? They're expendable.
The only people who feel shame (empathetically) are us. And we don't matter to them.

Orders to the redaction team was to protect the innocent victims.
Had a few extra 'victim' names added. Trump's included.
Fearless leader must be shown to be perfectly innocent of any and all suspicion.
It's the North Korean way!
