DOJ’s Epstein Document Dump: A Photo Album of Frustration and Redactions
The Epstein Files Transparency Act is just the world’s slowest game of “Where’s Waldo?”—except Waldo might be hiding behind redacted text. The DOJ’s document release offers plenty of photos, but leaves out the juicy revelations. For now, enjoy the awkward celebrity cameos and Bill Clinton’s poolside adventures.
Hot Take:
Looks like the US Department of Justice decided to play a game of “Where’s Waldo?” but with Epstein’s friends and acquaintances. Spoiler alert: the game’s rigged because they redacted all the interesting stuff, leaving everyone with a series of ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ celebrity cameos. It’s like getting a puzzle box with half the pieces missing. Thanks, DOJ, for providing the world’s least satisfying treasure hunt!
Key Points:
- The DOJ released almost 4,000 documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, but they don’t reveal much about other criminally implicated individuals.
- Democratic lawmakers criticized the DOJ for not fully complying with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
- Photos of Epstein’s notorious friends, like Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew, appear throughout the documents, but mostly in mundane settings.
- Redactions are inconsistent, and photos include familiar images from previous releases.
- There are promises of more documents to come, but it’s unclear when or what juicy details they might contain.
