A staffer in the Justice Department said in a secretly recorded video that the department would redact any Republican names from its investigative files on the late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.
The administration has been funneling the Epstein files to Capitol Hill in a supposed show of transparency, but only liberals names will remain visible, the staffer said.
If theyre released in any way, its going to be very redacted. Theyll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal Democratic people in those files, Joseph Schnitt, acting deputy chief of the DOJs Office of Enforcement Operations, says in the video.
Schnitt apparently thought he was speaking to someone hed met through a dating app, but he was actually talking to an undercover operative for the right-wing entrepreneur James OKeefe.

Of course, the DOJ denies, and the guy backtracks with a "I was just talking shit" sort of explanation.

I did a lot of government IT contracts and while I told friends and family the nature of my work, I NEVER mentioned details, that's a no no.

(7,321 posts)6. Yeah, but...this story is so core republicon that it's hard to dismiss
What does the republicon Golf--Cheat-in-Chief have to say about this?
Bet he'll bust a corpuscle fulminating, moaning and whining about how "unfair" everything is.
"Unfair" is his go-to whine.
