Jamie Raskin tells CNN Democrats will seek unredacted version of Jeffrey Epstein files after 3m pages released last week

Democratic representative Jamie Raskin, of Maryland, has slammed the Department of Justice’s release of the Epstein files as “a full-blown cover-up”.

Asked on CNN this morning whether Democrats were going to see to the unredacted files, Raskin said, “Absolutely.”

“We sent them a letter and so we’re demanding a right to do it. I hope the Department of Justice will keep its word and let us in there.”

A reminder that US deputy attorney general Todd Blanche said on Friday that every woman’s image had been redacted, adding that if any members of Congress wanted to see the unredacted material they should contact the DOJ so that could be arranged.

Raskin went on:

“Remember, they’ve said there are six million potentially responsive documents there. They’ve only released three million with more than 10,000 redactions. So we have to go look at those redactions. They’ve not sent us the explanation yet for those redactions. But then what about the other 3 million files?”

“Because we are witnessing a full blown cover up. Remember, not only is there a subpoena to attorney general [Pam] Bondi to turn everything over to Congress now; there’s a federal law compelling them to turn it over, and yet we’re just getting the dribs and drabs of information coming out of this stuff that they want us to see.”

To the suggestion that three million files was not “nothing”, Raskin added:

“Well it’s close to nothing when they’re deciding which documents are coming out and there’s a federal law and a subpoena compelling them to just turn everything over to Congress.”

“And they said that they had done this process many months ago, and there’s nothing to see there.”

    100% the wealthy elite pedophiles must be stopped. Man the far right pizza gate/Q mofos were aiming their hate at the wrong people while being manipulated by their billionaire pedo handlers were projecting lies about their wrong doings onto their enemies via social media.

      Another commenter in another thread, noting that uh… well /pol/ on 4chan was set up by m00t… either the same day or day after an email indicates he had some kind of meeting with Esptein…

      This other commenter just said ‘Epstein was Q’.

      As… utterly insane as that sounds at face value, its far from impossible and imo this or something very close to this is entirely plausible.

      Q is the greatest psyop that has ever happened.

      It formed and melded and shaped and metastisized the entire online right wing culture. It transformed a myriad of interwoven conspiracy theories into functionally a religious cult based around Trump as an inevitable, religious savior figure, based primarily on faith.

      Many intelligence agencies have often used religion or manipulation thereof as a means of achieving their ends, a basis from which to build or orient an often violent political movement.

      The CIA in particular has a well established history of promoting evangelical Christianity directly as a means of combatting ‘communism’ in Latin and South America… as well as here at home.

      And… imo, also the fact that QAnon was… so novel in concept, when one attempted to analyze and understand, comprehend it, how it worked, how it functioned, what it even was… for years it defied conventional academic means of categorization and arguably still constitutes something either novel or very uncommon, in terms of what kind of a social phenomenon it even is.

      That, to me, reads like something that is the work of people who spend all their time figuring out how to make people go insane in exactly the way they want them to go insane, something that is crafted to also be so incomprehensible that no one even knows how to react to it or counteract it.

      Epstein had … stupendous amounts of ties to all kinds of intelligence agencies, the kinds of people who specialize in psyops.

      Ghislaine Maxwell was the first reddit account to reach a million karma, had the 8th most link karma as of 6 years ago, around when she got put away.

      She was a powermod of many, many subreddits, since 2006.

      Means, motive, opportunity, all are present here in spades.

      Trump is an idiot manbaby of a Manchurian Candidate, Epstein was his handler, and Epstein was mostly working for/with the Israelis and the Russians, doubtlessly also the CIA, as we can see by Trump becoming president being incredibly advantageous for the Israelis and the Russians, and also incredibly advantageous for American Capitalists, the people the CIA exist to uh, facilitate.
