There have been a lot of complaints about both the competency and the logic behind the latest Epstein archive release by the DoJ: from censoring the names of co-conspirators to censoring pictures of random women in a way that makes individuals look guiltier than they really are, forgetting to redact credentials that made it possible for all of Reddit to log into Epstein’s account and trample over all the evidence, and the complete ineptitude that resulted in most of the latest batch being corrupted thanks to incorrectly converted Quoted-Printable encoding artifacts, it’s safe to say that Pam Bondi’s DoJ did not put its best and brightest on this (admittedly gargantuan) undertaking. But the most damning evidence has all been thoroughly redacted… hasn’t it? Well, maybe not.

tl;dr there's a bunch of base64-encoded PDFs in the Epstein emails. Buddy had a hard time extracting them because the files are exported as images and the one and ell characters are almost indistinguishable. Dude eventually managed to distinguish them. 🤷‍♂️

The best and brightest don't work there anymore.

Anyone knows why they released them at all? What does the administration get from it?
