Of course they're releasing unredacted compromising photographs of the victims. One of the traffickera' personal lawyer is overseeing the process so as to ensure as much harm as possible

They'll redact Melania's face, black out bibi's email and pictures of infant corpses next to raw chicken. But yaaaaaa go ahead and publish the faces of the exploited children.
Honestly i wouldn't be surprised if they include actual CP
This is a trap, it will be used as an attempt to say that full release of the files on the schedule demanded by law is impossible.
It's also another criminal infraction of the law created to release them, which stated explicitly that the victims, and only the victims, should be censored. They're censoring the accused and exposing the victims. Violating the law with knowing intent with the clear goal of forcibly putting themselves above any law.
You can't go after the shitheads when you can't show the pictures. Of course, outlets can absolutely put black bars over the victims. I think it's trap as well as trying to shame and punish the victims for coming forward.
They've already said they aren't releasing more. Just the 2percent.
Imagine being one of the thousands of FBI agents who’s job right now is “do anything you can to protect the pedophile cabal.”
How much do you wanna bet this has been done by one LLM? It reeks slop
Eh its possible.
Now imagine being one of the ones who says, “Hell yeah!”
There are disgusting people in this world.
Yes, fair. Honestly every FBI agent who helped cover shit up should go to prison forever.
I dislike how you egocentrically project your moralities unto the FBI, and not realize that the FBI HAS BEEN the pedophile cabal from the start!
I am in no way saying the FBI is or has ever been on the moral side of any issue. But there’s gotta be some guys in there who draw the line at pedophilia.
I believe there's a reason why so many of these leaks have been poorly censored or accidentally included unredacted names.
Yeah same. But FBI incompetence is also a believable factor.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
incompetence to what? They have qualified immunity. They can bomb a city, and get away with it.
Incompetence to… being able to censor the files in the way their bosses want? I dont understand what you mean.
Wait wait, is that whan you meant by incompetence earlier‽ I was asking you to clarify, but I guess yes to that too.
Have you finally retrospected the FBI should now be called the
PEN?
Pedophile Entrapment Network
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
And what, they turn their coats?
Just retrospect that they were created exactly for this, and all the child traffickings, code blues, and CSAM start to line up.
The article is vague. Just being absolutely clear: Does it appear the DOJ released CSAM?
The descriptions I've seen said there are at least 40 nude pictures of Epstein victims and that some of the subjects do appear to potentially be teenagers. It sounds like the DOJ released CSAM, yes.
Well, it has certainly lost some meaning over the last year, but: W...T...F.
😬
yes, there was verified csam in multiple portions of the documents resulting in the data hoarders community removing magnet links to torrents of those files. obviously good move by the mods of that community but ridiculous that it's necessary due to the dojs incompetence.
the data hoarders community removing magnet links to torrents of those files
Lowkey wonder if that's the point. I wouldn't put it past the DOJ to "accidentally" release CSAM in order to go after people who are trying to keep them accountable.
Is anyone somewhere saying... "Hey that's me!" Who could then come forward and help America prove anything about those nude photos?
Maybe this was their ace card? Make everyone pedos and incrementat themselves?
It seems very much on-brand for this admin to pull a stunt like that.
I doubt it would work. No court in the world would see that case through.
But it just takes ONE story being blown up by media to make millions of paranoid, tuned-out people scared to even touch the Epstein files, much less look at them for actual evidence and data.
If this turns out to be intentionally done, would anyone be surprised?
"Trump Goons"? I bet he does.
I doubt he has the patience or vitality to maintain that.
Oops, they accidentally released the ones for the boss's personal stash.
