    It’s pretty interesting to see them do that given the fact that you just know that these files aren’t gone.

    The official source is gone but a few thousand people probably downloaded that PDF.

    I feel like this is too much of a pattern to be a coincidence. Dump a huge amount of files, there’s a few juicy things in there, people crawl all over them. The administration does a poor job covering them, etc. Then we do the same thing a month later. Why not release all of them at once in a flood that takes forever to sift through? Or why not just refuse to release them at all? Why keep doing these little splurges?

      Sheer incompetence? Gives them the chance to propaganda away all the separate instances one at a time, rather than having a single huge pile of evidence once?

    The fact that they keep saying nothing in the files incriminates Trump is beyond SUS. They were already ordered to redact everything incriminating so I guess they are technically right.

    You think that they’re just using the press as a free research arm?

    DOJ: “Here’s the latest batch of the Epstein files!”

    Press: “And here’s all of the documents that mention Trump.”

    DOJ: “Cool. They’re gone now.”

    Someone will have downloaded the doc. Time to spread it wide and far. Trump, meet Streisand, Streisand, Trump…
