Congress members saw the unredacted Epstein files today

 

She didn't care.  Will she do anything about it now that she learned something?

“I went over there, and I was able to determine, at least I believe, that there were tons of completely unnecessary redactions, in addition to the failure to redact the names of victims, and so that was troubling to us,” Raskin told reporters.

He accused the justice department of being “in a cover-up mode” and breaking the law.

“They violated that precept by releasing the names of a lot of victims, which is either spectacular incompetence and sloppiness on their part, or, as a lot of the survivors believe, a deliberate threat to other survivors who are thinking about coming forward, that they need to be careful because they can be exposed and have their personal information dragged through the mud as well,” Raskin said.

The Maryland congressman said he was only able to review about 30 to 40 of the unredacted files that had been released at one of four computers set up at the justice department facility, which lawmakers must enter without bringing any electronic devices, or staff members who have been researching the issue alongside them.

“I saw the names of lots of people, who were redacted for mysterious or baffling or inscrutable reasons,” Raskin said. He noted Les Wexner, the Victoria’s Secret founder whose association with Epstein is public, is among those whose names were deleted.

Another redacted document Raskin said he saw in full was an email Epstein had sent to his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, which contained an account from his lawyers of a conversation with attorneys representing Trump that occurred around 2009.

Trump was quoted in it as saying that while Epstein was never a member of his Mar-a-Lago club, he had been a guest and was never asked to leave, which would contradict statements from the president that he had at one point barred him from his Florida property.

Pam Bondi, the attorney general, is scheduled to testify before the House judiciary committee on Wednesday, and Raskin said he would raise the redactions with her.

Separately on Monday, Maxwell, who is serving a prison sentence after being convicted of child sex trafficking charges, refused to answer questions during a deposition by the House oversight committee.

“It is a huge political scandal [in Britain], and I’m just afraid that the general coarsening and degradation of American life has somehow conditioned people not to take this as seriously as we should be taking it,” Raskin said, noting that files he has seen contain discussions regarding girls as young as nine years old.

“I hope the whole country is focusing on the absolute gravity of the crisis that we’re in.”

Sadly, the whole country is not.

Trump's people are as slippery as eels.
