Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

This is just hilarious, at this point. They had a team of over a thousand FBI analysts going through these files for months, flagging all instances where Trump's name came up. Apparently, he was mentioned so often, that they simply decided that they couldn't release any of it.
Now they're being forced to release it all, and here we are months later...and they're still struggling to redact all mention of Trump. Seriously, how deep up Epstein's ass did he go? Was his name on every single page?
And shouldn't they only be retracting the victims names, not the perpetrators.
And it's not like we aren't all going to replace "redacted" with Trump, in every instance it would fit anyway.
I think it's not just Trump. They said something along the lines of releasing it would have catastrophic political consequences.
I imagine they are trying to balance redacting enough so that the redactions themselves won't cause enough of an outrage so that the unredacted stuff needs to be released, redact stuff in a way that none of the various cliques in both parties feels slighted enough to flip the table.
Add to it that there are probably international contacts in there as well, so an unredacted release could topple US-friendly regimes worldwide. And then the backchannels are probably being lit up constantly by scared rapists with wealth or contacts.
That means, catastrophic for them. All the more reason to release them. Lift up that flat rock, see what squirms in the sunlight.
And let justice be done, whatever it takes.
