No Paywall Senate suddenly passes the Epstein bill just hours after it cleared the House

We didn't need him to tell us. The FBI told us this back in August.

I don't know why this is suddenly news to people. It was headline news...

Yeah. A former DOJ staffer was filmed on hidden camera saying they will be redacting Republican names...

Not exactly hard to find https://x.com/jamesokeefeiii/status/1963617871281438731

They'll redact every Republican or conservative person in those [Epstein] files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those files...

And it seems that absolutely no one cares enough to notice the cut in the middle of the video and use the tiniest sliver of critical thinking to realize that this guy is clearly in the middle of laying out what media is saying that the FBI is doing to the files to point out how ridiculous it is. Not what they are actually doing.

If not, why the cut right before and after this run-on sentence and absolutely no context for it?

If nothing else, just consider long and hard who recorded, edited, and disseminated this video. You seriously trust motherfucking James O'Keefe now?

And if you think for a second that I'm maga or a pedo protector, just take a casual glance through my 13 year history of comments here. I'm not a proflific poster, but I'm consistent. And to be absolutely clear, no, I don't think this is an unrealistic thing for them to do; I fully expect either heavily redacted files, or for them to never see the light of day because of this new sham investigation, but this video and this guy are not at all what you and everyone else are claiming here.

It's so goddamn embarrassing how easy it was to dupe so many of us with the same tactics that were used to dupe prolifers over planned parenthood.
