So we should assume every redacted name is a Republican, got it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

No. Assume every Republican is on the list.
Nah, some aren't wealthy enough.

Republicans: "SEE! BILL CLINTON IS THE ONLY NAME ON THE LIST!!!"
I say we replace all redactions with Trump’s name.
Nah. He for sure is on there. I want them all to burn.
So, what we need is the list from the victims read into record by AOC or the like. That's all I'd trust.
Do it now and no one gets held accountable.
Do it after republicans start prosecution of the Dems and it becomes much harder to bury the whole thing.
Plus, it gets rid of a shit ton of problematic Dems. If they were raping kids with Epstein, they're also doing way worse shit to prevent that from coming out.
That was the whole point, accumulate dirt, then blackmail.
In 2026 only one party will be able to say zero incumbents were named in the Epstein list, and every republican incumbent has to defend not holding their peers accountable, or even personally being on the list themselves.
trump trying to use corrupt Dems as sacrificial lambs is going to bite him in the ass
Assuming that is that they merely remove themselves from the list and leave whatever dems are on in. If theyre willing to edit the thing to remove themselves however, can they be trusted to not add people they particularly dont like, or remove any dems on the list that they are concerned might out the rest of the list if prosecuted?
AOC and MTG, side by side, reading from the same document. Just AOC alone would let conservatives shrug off every consequential name.
They won't release it.
Because if they release a list with only Dem names on it, surely there will be a former Biden Admin official with a copy of the full unredacted list, and they could just release that as retaliation.
Neither party would want to release it, because its M.A.D. at this point.
If there IS a hypothetical former Biden official with the full unredacted documents who doesn't have the courage to leak them, this hypothetical person needs to be hung from the nearest hypothetical tree.
Lots of MAGA claimed to want the swamp drained. Maybe a "true Qanon" person would also leak the list.
Yeah, sure would be nice if they actually had political beliefs or principles they weren’t willing to discard when it made their garbage worldview inconvenient.
Good! The LAST thing we Would want is for Republican Child Rapists to be CAUGHT! PROTECT THE REPUBLICAN CHILD RAPISTS!
So now we know for sure the list includes Republicans.
LOL. Was there any doubt?
Hopefully they leave in all the black redactions and not just delete them.
That way we can see how many republicans were redacted.
However I fear they’re also fabricating and just adding as many enemies they need to it for a large night of long knives. Like their version of Project Insight.
It'll literally be a notepad file called "jeffrey epstein list.txt" that list every democrat reps and senator.
jeffrey epstein list(1)(1) final(1).txt
Don’t forget to prefix with “Copy of Copy of”
Dude they are never releasing the full files. This is all just a fucking tease and while they're busy pretending to be bringing the hammer of justice down all the pedophiles they just chose to protect (once again) are casually helping set up and cement the authoritarian regime in cities across America.
Like when we reach the point that there is military patrolling every major city, elections are cancelled indefinitely for our own good, and they feel safe enough to just admit they're not releasing anything else, what do we even do?
This is like somebody who you caught robbing you, then giving you some of your stuff back to get you to shut up and not draw so much attention. Then reassuring you that you'll get the rest back soon, they just didn't feel comfortable giving it all back to you yet? What possible reason would you have to trust or believe that they'll do anything once the heat and focus has died down enough?
I can hear the original! Peanut butter jelly time 🤘
It's choppin' off their heads time
Choppin' off their heads time
Choppin' off their heads time
Still better than nothing.
Purge them out of the Dem party now, and get better options in. Then they can hold the ones that were protected accountable.
Getting them out of the Dem party now just helps our chances in the next elections
Purge the Republicans from the Democratic party?
I think they meant, "purge every Epstein list pedo out from the Democratic party."
Yes, thats what they did mean, but also the other guy is right too. Lets purge republicans out of the democratic party.
I keep saying we don't have a left anymore. We have a right, and a far right. But all I get in response is people saying "BoTh SiDeS!!!"
Yes. Both sides are trying to fuck you. Why is that so hard to accept when everybody is being fucked?
My concern is that neither side has released a list because its going to be insanely ugly. Like the most powerful people in the US....and the fallout is going to be anarchy.
I have to believe that Biden's team looked at what the fallout would look like, and their reaction was "Oh....my....god. What they did was fuckjng horrific, but the country will literally implode if we release this."
I'm all for releasing it, we need a bit of a hard reset/wake up call.
Apparently it is safer to leave these blackmail compromised people in powerful positions.
The country won't explode, it will destroy the pedophiles legacy and future though, which is death to them. Nearly everything biden does is do gaslight people into thinking he was a great person.
It’s already imploding. Let’s just implode faster. Push the reset button!
people need to treat not releasing the info as though the files have the worst possible contents
hard reset is definitely needed
Its gonna be a short list.....
Disagree. The list will be shorter, but it's not necessarily a short list. Being a Democrat doesn't stop someone from being a PoS.
A few years ago someone posted a list of reported sex crimes by politically affiliated people. It was about 60/40 Republicans.
Nah, they'll just put in the names of everyone they don't like. The only name I'd be certain was already there is Bill Clinton's.
Isn't this something that even most Republicans suspected this corrupted government would do?
All normal Americans suspected this because, well, duh. And Republicans that suspected the government under Taco would do this because that's their idea of "justice", and they expect him and his staff to deliver it.
It wouldn't surprise me if this is at least partially true, but James O'Keefe has exactly zero credibility. He has made it his life's work to produce poorly-made works of fiction, and he has the audacity to call it investigative reporting.
Still, giving Republicans the benefit of the doubt on, well, anything feels deeply immoral.
The worst person you know is still a person. I posted another story about Thomas Massie accusing a Billionaire GOP mega donor of being on Epsteins client list.
This is a big deal. GOP congressman from Kentucky, calling out HIS OWN BIG MONEY DONOR, and as far as I can tell he is standing alone on the republican side trying to get Epstein stuff public. I don't like the guy, but I can believe this endeavor is moral.
As a Democrat, I say don't redact any of them! If there's Democrats in there, everyone needs to know. Everyone needs to know all the people involved!
Stop being pussies and use this as a proper stepping stone to remove your rivals in the GOP! That's how villain organizations are supposed to work!
FIrst off, O'Keefe lol. But secondly, if the guy on the video is actually a deputy chief like O'Keefe claims then 'staffer' is kind of underselling it.
So 97% of the names huh?
I'm going to make a prediction if they are going to release a list of some sort with names on it:
- They will redact names by using black highlight using computer software and then destroying the underlying text information by printing it out and scanning it, or something similar. This would prevent the most obvious form of getting around the redaction (which is extracting text information from underneath the highlight).
- They will make the rookie mistake of using a proportional font like Times New Roman for the names, which is a font wherein each letter has a different length, instead of a
monospace font like this one where all characters are the same width
. - An investigative journalist will notice that one of the redacted names is exactly the same length as "DONALD JOHN TRUMP" typed in the document's font, and then applied black highlight over it.
I don't trust James Okeefe as far I could throw him. But I find it hilarious that their own snake is trying to bite them now! 🤣
I sure am glad I put all my money into black chisel-tip permanent marker stocks.
Most corrupt group of morons I've ever seen. What a fucking clown show.

This actually deserves attention, unlike OKeefe.
