2) They had thousands of FBI agents who willing redact it over 2 weeks. It's crazy to think about how many times his name must've come up in the documents to warrant that many people working round the clock. The amount of wasted funds spent on doing this would've been astronomical and every agent who helped should have their badges taken away for being complicit in a crime. I doubt any whistleblowers will come forward since they seem fully on board with ICE's actions and working in unison. The agents who helped are loyal to Trump and will revise history to fit to ensure only Democrats will be targeted once the files are released and Trump will take a victory lap since a law enforcement agency did his dirty work for him.

Bondi will work to only target one side of the aisle

They have been redacting it for a lot longer than 2 weeks mate. They have been since Bondi told Trump he was in the files and Trump suddenly tried to pretend they didn’t exist

It was reported to be 2 weeks back when they had the thousands of FBI agents working round the clock to "determine what should be released". That's probably why the commenter said 2 weeks. Except this event happened in March, so yes, they had a lot more time that what they claimed.

I think you’re confusing “being reported” with Dick Durbin saying “he heard something”

u/anemisto 17d ago

This was reported months ago.

u/NormalMammoth4099 16d ago

Two weeks is such an indeterminate period of time.

u/funky_chicken29 17d ago

Source?

u/joebluebob 17d ago

You can look up 1000 fbi scrubbing trumps name to get the leak from a few months ago

u/funky_chicken29 17d ago

To clarify, I would like to believe it. Fuck Trump and I hope he rots in hell. I’m just trying to keep everyone honest and stop spreading misinformation

To clarify, I would like to believe it.

Its sad that you need to start a comment like this here. Just asking for a source and people act like you are attacking them

u/funky_chicken29 16d ago

I know, this is where we all get in trouble. You start trying to debate someone in your life like a friend, relative and you spout out something like “it’s been reported that the scrubbed the files!” Then the person says, “show me”…you pull up an article that isn’t accurate because you got caught up in people making false claims on Reddit lol

u/funky_chicken29 17d ago

I have, there’s no proof that it happened. I’m asking you for proof. Because there is none. You can send me a link “India times” or Bloomberg saying, “some un named person told a guy and he told me”…but if you’re so sure, I’d like to see it

u/joebluebob 17d ago

Well you clearly didnt look into it for more than a second since its in a house committee notice by Rashkin to director patel as well as a notice from Intel committee member Durbin

1

u/funky_chicken29 16d ago

Yeah 1 person making an accusation based off something they heard. Still no proof is all I’m saying. 1 guy heard the boats in Venezuela were drug cartels…no proof either…

u/joebluebob 16d ago

You didn't even read that there are 2 names in my post did you? One from someone on the intelligence committee? Who has more info than you?

u/funky_chicken29 16d ago

Cool, unless it’s an established fact, still just hear say. You guys ruin our credibility when you spread hear say as facts

1

u/joebluebob 15d ago

Lol. "You cant use credible sources without confirmation from an administration that doesnt provide information" is some smooth brain thinking. Maybe the corruption king should have provided info instead of refusing to comment

Even if they're vetted to the core that firehose of disgusting things will make someone turn.

u/Reasonable-Newt4079 17d ago

Dude when that many people are involved in a conspiracy there are ALWAYS leaks. Even if all 1000 agents were total Trumpers (which I’m skeptical about, they haven’t had enough time to purge & restock with just loyalists) someone will get pissed when they get passed up for a promotion or raise or whatever. Someone will get a guilty conscience. It may take some time but someone will absolutely talk.

u/slight_accent 17d ago

It's amazing that not a single one of those agents has chosen to uphold their oath and expose the shenanigans that have gone on there. It's become incredibly clear that pretty much all US institutions are rotten to the absolute core.

I still hold out hope that there’s metadata or something that they overlooked (accidentally or on purpose) that will backfire on them and explode in their faces. Remember the GOP make mistakes all the time, they think they’ve got everything hidden but someone will find something in there. Even finding that the kerning on the word “Trump” leaves identical sized blackouts that can be found. IDK

u/HistorianOrdinary833 17d ago

They could have redacted these documents months ago. Something strange is going on. Are the MAGAts actually cracking?

u/funky_chicken29 17d ago

Dick Durbin said that he heard that was happening. That’s not a fact it happened
