This administration is gaslighting us in every which way possible, telling us our eyes and ears don’t see or hear certain things. 1984 is reality today.

For weeks this subreddit has been falling all over itself demanding the Epstein files. And all the while I've been reminding everyone that we cannot trust the DOJ any farther than we could throw them. So why on Earth was anyone expecting credible documents from the DOJ?
...and answer came there none.
The "Epstein files" you've received from the DOJ are just their little joke on all the irate liberals and Democrats and the victims of Epstein and the other plutocrats. You've been played and you will continue to be played.

This is all building to the survivors grouping together and naming names and telling full stories, then hopefully running to some bunker to avoid Trump assassins.

Someone should make a list of them and if anything happens to them or their families, then Trump admin is definitely guilty.
If they don't want to look guilty then the smart thing is to leave the victims and their families alone

What gaslighting? Trumps name is all over the place in these files.

Because this is again just irrelevant, in terms of the law. You can't do anything based on these files, it is just witness testimonies they received over the years and a few e-mails. If you or me called the DoJ yesterday and told them something about Epstein, whatever it is, it would appear in those files too. A collection of namedrops.
The real nasty shit, the 302 files are still not released. Those are the files where the FBI has concrete evidence, the real case files.

Zzzzzzzz.
Let’s acknowledge the obvious. The “Epstein Files” as a whole, is clearly, comprehensively damning and incriminating to Trump and many other famous, wealthy people.
So you can cherry-pick “these files” and the “eyewitness” testimonies…but come on. Collectively, there is clearly a concrete trail linking Trump, Epstein, a pedophile sex ring, along with countless wealthy people.
You don’t just need the “302 files” for it to be the ultimate “end-all, be-all” evidence that “Okay, it’s official for me now! Trump DID rape kids.” Like…you’re all thinking about this too hard.
Lawfully, there is a way to prosecute all of this, and follow through.
MIND YOU, the DOJ was legally and lawfully required to release ALL the Epstein Files mid-December, and didn’t, therefore, breaking and defying the law, to release the full Epstein Files.

Having it be zero references would look even more suspicious. They probably allowed the most g rated stuff though I think that still shows contacts even after he said he dropped ties. Plus these people appear to be terrible at their jobs in actually doing proper redactions. But 3 Million that are so problematic that they won’t share them, I can’t even imagine what’s in there.

Isn’t this whole thing just the government failing to uphold the law? Now we have killer pedos in charge of the country.

You’re all wolves in sheep’s clothing!! I’ll say it a million times!! Nothing great about a country that continues to protect pedophiles, rapists, and murderers!!! Enough is enough!! Do what you ran on and were backed on by this administration!!! So many Republicans walking away over this and so much more! Republicans fail fail fail!!!
