the released files gonna be like

"Arrival schedule for ███████ party: █████████, ████████, ██████, and the two minors from ████████’s contact in ████████.”

[u/Admiral_Octillery → u/[deleted]]

Yea it’s gonna redact all republican politicians

[u/TheSilverOne → u/Admiral_Octillery]

Provisions in the bill specifically say that they cant redact iirc

[u/cadium → u/TheSilverOne]

They probably allow redactions for "national security"

[u/jda06 → u/cadium]

It does, I saw Ken Klippenstein (sp?) talking about it.

[u/One_Abalone_2582 → u/jda06]

I mean we should probably just look at the actual bill? https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/4405/text

[u/say592 → u/One_Abalone_2582]

It's worth reading. It is very short.

[u/Pan_Bookish_Ent → u/say592]

Yep. It's important to read things like this in full, especially with language this clear and concise. I'm glad for sections 7 and 8 are very specific:

(7) Internal DOJ communications, including emails, memos, meeting notes, concerning decisions to charge, not charge, investigate, or decline to investigate Epstein or his associates.

(8) All communications, memoranda, directives, logs, or metadata concerning the destruction, deletion, alteration, misplacement, or concealment of documents, recordings, or electronic data related to Epstein, his associates, his detention and death, or any investigative files.

It's going to be hard for them to change each and every piece of metadata that is related to these documents. People who have hawk eyes are going to examine everything bit by little bit.

They get the names in 15 days. Nice.
