      not exactly they gave it up because the corporations were getting nervous about the continued shutdown affecting them. also the continued shutdown was starting to affect the magat base on turning against them. they had no interesting in ever extending it in the first place.

    I feel like if someone’s politically exposed then they shouldn’t be in politics. If my password is exposed I don’t try to hide my password, I just change it.

    They didn’t redact the names of “Politically Exposed Individuals”, they redacted the name of one Politically Exposed Individual

        They definitely didn’t redact Bill Clinton: he features prominently in this first tiny slice of documents. Almost like they’ve cherry picked docs that would be worst for Dems while protecting their friends.

        How do you do the shocked Pikachu emoji?

        True, but only one that has the power to order the redactions. I guarantee the full exposure would cross party lines but if one particular person is exposed in your little group of paedophiles, every one is safe. If there is no damage, even splash damage, you’re safe If you oppose that person though, and there is no harm to them, your name will be forever associated with the Epstein files

    • I’m working under the assumption that anything that is blacked out directly implicates Trump. If there’s a photo somewhere of a large woman in a dress with a blacked out face, that’s Trump in drag. The grand jury exposition is literally just Trump’s name repeated over and over again.

      I invite them to prove me wrong
