Epstein File Asymmetrical Redactions | Protecting The Accused While Exposing The Accusers

Flaming Attorney General Blondi Lights Congress on Fire for Daring to Question her

“How dare you accuse me of a crime!”

The Republican representative who has been dogging the Department of Justice to release all Epstein documents finally came out with a statement that puts it all out there and agrees with what I’ve been saying and how I’ve been saying it regarding the Epstain that now runs blood-red all over the Trump administration’s cover-up:

The “sloppiness” of the DOJ in redacting and releasing those files amounts to “criminal negligence” on behalf of Attorney General Pam Bondi, says Massie.

“They’ve been utterly incompetent. Incompetent to the point that it almost seems like you’d have to be doing this on purpose to be this incompetent.”

Massie pointed in particular to how the DoJ redacted the names of the victimizers yet managed to release the names (and nude photos) of the victims. It is incompetent at a level beyond believing incompetence can even come close to explaining it. That was why I said in my major exposé over the weekend that it looked like Team Trump was trying to intimidate the victims into shutting up—saying “If you push us to unredact things, this is the kind of ‘accident’ that might happen to hurt you.”

As I wrote over the weekend, it defies all credibility to claim the team of 500 supposedly skilled redactors didn’t happen to notice the girls in forty photos were nude. They were so careful to protect the victims—the legal purpose of their redactions—that they just didn’t happen to see they had no clothes on, huh? 

The very thing Blondi most ardently and publicly claimed she wanted to avoid—the DoJ publishing child pornography—is the exact thing she did. Without a doubt those photos were harvested as quickly as they were made publicly available by slimy people who will love to sell access saying, “Here are the underage girls in nude photos at Epstein island.” The DoJ might have clawed them back forty minutes later, as Blondi protested in her supposed defense, but we all know that, once something makes it onto the internet, there is almost no way to get it all back off. So, those victims will be subject to abuse again and again, thanks to the DoJ that managed to stick Pam Bondi’s bare foot exactly in the manure pile she said she wanted her Department of Injustice to avoid.

Following the above statements from an interview with Reason, Massie grilled Blondi in congress. (Remember, I said I call her “Blondi” because she has made herself the poster woman for dumb-blond jokes, not because blonds are actually unintelligent; but she is a caricature of her own making.) Naturally, Blondi retorted to serious questions about how these errors happened during her congressional interview with the standard lame excuse:

Bondi accused Massie, currently serving his eighth Congressional term, of being a “failed politician” with “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Yeah, that covers your failures that insult the intelligence of the American public, Blondi. Clearly, those photo releases and manifold redactions of perp names with full disclosure of victimnames only happened due to Massie’s derangement. Here is how blatantly obvious the DoJ’s failures were:

Massie told Reason that he hoped Bondi would explain to Congress why the DOJ would release a document ENTITLED, “Victims’ Names” with 31 of the 32 alleged victims’ names unredacted.

How do you miss that it contains their names when it says right at the top “Victims’ Names?” Yet, Blondi excused her department’s gross negligence as the kind of accident you would only dog her about if you had “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” What is it about Trump Derangement Syndrome that it makes the people who have it think that everyone else is deranged? And to such a level that you cannot even see your own ineptitude when it is writ so large?

The redactions are asymmetrical, protecting the accused while exposing the accusers, according to Massie. For example, in a document in which the FBI named Epstein financier Les Wexner as a possible coconspirator in a child sex trafficking case, Wexner’s name was redacted until Massie and Khanna viewed the unredacted document, publicly named Wexner, and shamed the DOJ into revealing his name.

This coverup is blatant and clearly intentional—because you just can’t be as dumb as the role Blondi is playing—and now it is fully illegal due to Massie’s co-sponsored law. Yet, the DoJ still pushes on with covering for all the perpetrators while disclosing the most private information possible about the victims—what they look like nude! As I said in my Deeper Dive, the DoJ has to accept that they are nothing better than the Keystone Cops ifthey are going to maintain the delusion that this was accidental. Yet, there Blondi is with her best excuse for her failures under oath being that Massie is deranged.

She really needs to be slammed in prison, either for having an illegal level of stupidity or for not caring in the slightest that she is breaking the law on a matter so important to the public. It is no wonder the US and UK have both reached a new low this week on their international rating for corrupt government. I wonder if Blondi would cover for Democrats in the same way if they released nude photos of her for “full disclosure.”

The DoJ, under Blondi’s oversight, could not have humiliated the victims more than they did, while they certainly hid the victimizers. The Trump administration is still doing all it can to cover for the perps even after being squeezed by the Supreme Court and congressional law to release the information with redactions that only protect the victims, not the perps.

Massie referred to the continued effort to cover up for the perps as a “massive failure of the DoJ.” That’s not deranged on his part. That is finally some honesty out of a Republican about what the Trump administration is up to. Public shame on all others who don’t stand up to this. With the last release of files that still remained highly redacted even in the privileged version that only members of congress were allowed to see, requiring further pushing against the DoJ to get rid of the rest of the redactions, the fact that the Trump DoJ is intentionally covering the names of the rich victimizers at every turn became clear. If CONGRESS and COURTS have to push this hard to remove the redactions, then covering those names is intentional!

Massie even points out that anyone can see that the DoJ did go over the list titled “Victims’ Names.” It wasn’t just that they accidentally missed redacting that whole page because they actually did redact one name in the list of victims—THE ONE THAT WASN’T A VICTIM! Massie also displayed an enlarged version of a redacted file titled “Child Sex Trafficking” and then began pulling off the redactions to reveal that what was being redacted was the identity of the alleged criminals, which is what the new law he sponsored expressly forbids redacting!

Massie even points to a fully redacted list of the names of the alleged perpetrators—the very LIST the DoJ told the entire world they could not find. They found it in order to fully redact it! If this is stupidity and ineptitude, it is stupidity, as Massie said today, that reached a criminal level on Blondi’s part.

Massie told Reason …

that still more transparency is needed, the most pressing need being the removal of redactions on FBI summaries of witness and victim interviews—known as Form FD-302s—that would shed more light on the nature of the crimes law enforcement investigated and allow Congress and the public to evaluate the soundness of such investigations. 

Many of those are the files that are redacted in whole. 

During the congressional testimony, one Democratic senator accused Bondi of lying under oath in her response to his question about whether there was any evidence that President Trump was involved in any of the criminal activity or present during that activity and a witness to it. Blondi yelled out that there was no evidence whatsoever, and then the senator produced a document by a  witness claiming Trump was involved. Rather than answer to the evidence produced after she just said there wasn’t any, Blondi just shouted, “Don't you ever accuse me of a crime!”

Throughout her testimony she avoided answering questions about how her department handled the evidence and the redactions. She was accused, rightfully so far as I could see, of eating up the five minutes each member had for questioning with long-running responses that attacked senators or praised the accomplishments of Donald Trump but avoided the one specific thing she was supposed to do, which was answer the questions. When reminded by the ranking-member Jamie Raskin he had told her at the outset not to use her response time to just run the clock out, Blondi shouted back, “You don’t tell me anything!”

It was political theater on her part of total defiance that answered nothing, but those who love a good circus or a good fight probably enjoyed her combative performance.
