31. I don't quite know what to make of the section

in Permitted Withholdings...

(B) depict or contain child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) as defined under 18 U.S.C. 2256 and prohibited under 18 U.S.C. 2252–2252A;

So, because it would be obscenity under the U.S. laws, they're permitted to withhold the materials? Isn't the point of this to root out the corruption and obscenity, obtain justice for those so used, and (wishfully) adjudicate, judge, and march to prison those, like trump, who took part in these horrible crimes?

I don't know what material is available in these situations... but I kind of see this akin to refusing to show the horror of mass school shootings. If people could see the aftermath, we might actually get legal changes. While it's all just words and thoughts in the mind, we sit in a shooting gallery.

I just don't want to see what these people (girls, young women, and boys) be hidden behind legalities like gun crimes. It seems we "forgive" the worst of the worst, while locking up law-abiding citizens who may have missed a court date, etc...
