How did they spend a million dollars on overtime with 1000 agents redacting the files, and they STILL haven't redacted Trump's name out of them?
How many fucking times did his name appear?!
All of the times, apparently.

I've been saying from the jump, these are the Trump-Epstein Files.
The vast majority of these documents are digital. And have been backed up at many levels. And reproduced at even more.
So maybe they already redacted all the PDFs in the folder. But they then learned that there are already like twenty different backups and many slightly edited versions that different attorneys had made notes on and...
Or... knowing this administration, they might have literally printed out copies and hand redacted a single printout of every document.
But the good news is that there are a ridiculous number of copies in the wild and a very bipartisan (and even non-partisan) selection of people have read them and likely have their own copies. So, if any people actually care (big if...), expect basically constant mud slinging and screams of "fake news" tomorrow as everyone spite releases documents because their team wasn't redacted or because they just want to watch rapists squirm.
It's also possible that they're facing a lot of internal resistance, the type wherein you spend 4 hours polishing a piece of metal because they wanted it spotless. Could also be that they've burned down enough of the back end structure that now nothing works like it's supposed to resulting in massive lag.
Yeah, also they probably spent a ton of time trying to figure out which FBI agents they could trust to cover up their dirt for them. Also, just generally speaking, I'm pretty sure Kash Patel is even stupider than he looks.
Trump's name probably shows up more than Epstein's.
