Exclusive: Frustration mounts at Justice Department as it races to redact some Epstein files, sources say​


(L/A)

Frustration is mounting inside the Justice Department as it races to redact thousands of pages of files related to Jeffrey Epstein before they must be released Friday, multiple sources familiar with the process told CNN.

A substantial number of redactions are needed, one of the sources said, and the documents each attorney is processing since Thanksgiving week can number more than 1,000 — a time-consuming task that likely will come down to the wire. The sensitivities of executive and legal privacy, victims’ protections and other concerns all could play in to the choices the lawyers must make when it comes to potential redactions.

Lawyers working on the Epstein files at the DOJ’s National Security Division also believe they aren’t getting clear or comprehensive direction on how to make the most information available under the law, several sources said.

Counterintelligence specialists were asked to drop nearly all of their other work to process the Epstein documents, two people said, but some lawyers declined to participate.

An act of Congress has mandated the Trump administration release troves of Epstein-related documents — from grand jury records, to FBI files and internal Justice Department discussions — by Friday, after months of the Trump administration promising and not delivering transparency.

The situation suggests that the persistent political headache connected to transparency for the Epstein files may not disappear with Friday’s deadline.

In whatever becomes public on Friday, sources said there will still be extensive amounts of information redacted — the type of lack of transparency that the American public may continue to scrutinize.

Some legal document specialists are already preparing for the possibility that the Department of Justice’s release of the files will have more redactions than what is required, and that there may be mistakes in what’s redacted and what’s made public. Mistakes especially could relate to the disclosure of sensitive personal information, because of the volume of documents and how fast the lawyers have had to work, the sources said.

“Either they’re going to screw it up or they’re going to withhold things. It wouldn’t surprise me,” said one lawyer outside the Justice Department who is awaiting the release to determine whether there should be complaints made about how the redaction work was done. “Some of it may be incompetence as much as deliberate.”

A challenging task​

The Epstein files are vast, and thousands of records held by different sections of federal law enforcement have to be picked through to determine whether they are responsive to the transparency law’s requirements or need to be redacted because of various confidentiality rules and to protect Epstein’s victims.

There are only four pages the lawyers have been given as internal guidance to follow to make the redactions, one of the sources said. And nearly all of the guidelines the lawyers have received articulate exemptions to the transparency law.

There are also logistical headaches in the work. Duplicates in what the lawyers are working through haven’t been taken out of the cache, one source told CNN. That creates more of a possibility there may not be consistent redactions across the documents or that redactions may be done incorrectly in spots. Plus it adds hundreds of pages more for lawyers to process than what they normally would have to handle if the duplicates were taken out.


What to know about the upcoming Epstein files release
The Justice Department has flubbed redactions in a massive document production already this year. When the National Security Division worked on releasing 60,000 pages related to the Kennedy assassination earlier this year, in another drop-everything task with a deadline, social security numbers and other private information of more than 400 former congressional staffers and others were mistakenly made public, according to the Washington Post.

The stakes are high for women who suffered abuse under Epstein.

Some Epstein victims have said they feel as if they’re in the dark on how the files are being prepared for the release, according to CNN reporting earlier this week. The Epstein survivors who spoke recently told CNN that they had gotten no outreach from the DOJ ahead of the files’ release.

A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment for this article.

Who’s doing the redacting​

The Justice Department’s National Security Division inherited the redaction work from the FBI after the law was passed for transparency on the Epstein files.

It’s surprising to many national security law specialists that that’s who’s doing the work, given the division’s historical emphasis on classified matters and the lack of a nexus between Epstein and national security interests.

Several sources said, however, that’s where the manpower is at the Justice Department this year.

The latest round of Epstein redaction work started in fervor over Thanksgiving, shortly after Congress passed the transparency act.

The FBI had previously done a similar push on redactions earlier in the Trump administration. During that effort, in response to an over-promising of transparency by Attorney General Pam Bondi that the department didn’t deliver, agents worked around the clock, some in overnight shifts that supplanted other threat investigations the FBI was working on.

The national security lawyers aren’t among the Justice Department division that classically handles document processing, or even sex crimes or conspiracies, as had been alleged of the late Epstein and his convicted paramour Ghislaine Maxwell. A different part of the Justice Department where lawyers handle Freedom of Information Act requests are more typically tasked to handle document redaction projects, especially before this Trump administration. The national security section also isn’t the office that investigated Epstein years ago – another group that could weigh in on the files and transparency.

Still, the national security division has previously handled substantial redaction projects this year for topics that aren’t core to their legal work – including those related to releases of the Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy assassination historical files.

While the National Security Division has been gutted during this Trump administration, it’s still many dozens of lawyers strong. Those lawyers are experienced in working with sensitive data, with extensive, elaborate redaction needs.

CNN’s Casey Gannon and MJ Lee contributed to this report.
 
So you're telling me that in the days leading up to the release of the Epstein Files....

-The Deputy Director of the FBI resigned (keep in mind he was previously a podcaster who's entire schtick was calling for the files to be released)
-The Speaker of the House spontaneously cancels are scheduled activities and closes the house a day early, which happens to mean they are out of session when the files come out

Tell me how this isn't an indicator for the files being extremely bad?

I can't wait for that one guy to post a community thread update about how this proves Donald Trump is a Kid Diddler and then someone proves it's a nothing burger literally 30 minutes later.

Gee, I wonder if the "files" (if they even ever existed in the first place) that have been in possession of people we very clearly could already tell had skeletons in their closets and probably edited the contents to their ends will ever face retribution for their actions and see an end to the powers that be that got us into this mess in the first place?

Oh wait.

I'm sure they have not been altered in any way in the last 6.5 years under the oversight of the very people they would most likely implicate.

Surely the feds wouldn't lie to us.

At the same time, if they weren't altered in any way, people would still be upset and demand the release of unredacted files, which they already have. Not saying that they won't fuck it up or that they won't cover for "the right people", but at this point I don't think there's any way to appease the public unless you were to make up a list where absolutely every single major and minor public figure was implied to have diddled kids on Epstein's island even if there's zero logical connection to it. The reason people want these files is because they want blood, a casus belli to go after the elites, and they won't be happy if there's nothing in those files about individuals that people want to go after.

You know, kinda like how no matter what Half-Life 3 Valve would release, they'd never meet people's expectations and get shit for it, but no one really knows what the collective consciousness' expectations are, and they sure as hell cannot be feasibly met.

Then again, Epstein files are a political topic so in two weeks everyone will forget about all this.
 
In the latest batch of Epstein pictures released by the Dems we get pictures of a woman with Lolita quotes drawn on different parts of her body:

We obviously don't know the age of this woman (although she seems relatively young), but it's certainly one of the more straight up creepy things we have gotten from this.

The possibly more interesting thing is a screenshot of series of messages from someone about if Epstein would be interested in any girls a scout had found:

Now this doesn't say that much in itself, but it's a further pointer towards that most of his victims being young aspiring models from Eastern Europe that we naturally don't know much about.

We also get a few pictures of heavily redacted passports and ID cards from mostly women:

This is some of them. This is probably sent over so Epstein could arrange traveling.

Then there's a bunch of pictures of him with and associates from the later part of his life. Not very interesting. But here are quite a few of them:

This is NYT Columnist David Brooks, supposedly from a dinner in 2011. Interestingly he just wrote a column telling everyone that we shouldn't care about Epstein: A / L

I think this is slovak politician Miroslav Lajčák who seemed to be working closely with Epstein and Bannon.

These appear to be academics at least. Except Epstein and bin Sulayem obviously.
Edit: Apparently the old bearded guy is Mikhail Gromov, long haired balding guy is Seth Lloyd and bald guy besides Epstein is Martin Nowak.
