Why were they redacted in the first place?

The irrational raging MAGA desire to destroy the hated Clintons by exposing the former POTUS in the Epstein files has a baseball analog.

Year ago several players on an MLB team kept loudly pestering their manager in the dugout to complain to the umpire that the opposing pitcher was cheating by scuffing the baseball or applying a liniment on it.

After a while the manager couldn't take it anymore as the TV cameras kept zooming in on them, so he yelled at his team:

"Hey, fer Chrissake, pipe down you guys! What the hell do you think our pitcher is doing out there?!"

@#2 ... Why were they redacted in the first place? ...

... However, there is also concern for what some are calling the over-redaction of important details, namely people believed to have aided Epstein.

In a 2014 email released in the files, a person writes to Epstein, "Thank you for a fun night ... your littlest girl was a little naughty."

The identity of the individual who wrote the message is redacted. ...

Why was the sender's name redacted?

Talk's cheap.
Believe it when I see it.
Frankly, I'm coming to believe this country is too stupid and corrupt to survive.

This seems to be the only winning issue for Democrats.

So it would actually be beneficial for Republicans to completely release everything.

Massie is going to get himself assassinated.

Gotta hand it to the guy, he's got some brass balls.

I do not disagree.

That aside, Congress passed a law with only one dissenting vote about this.

Yet the Trump administration still seems to be avoiding following that law.

imo, this is looking more and more like a cover-up by the Trump administration.

Which begs the question ... what might the Trump administration be so focused upon covering up?

Massie isn't alone.

House Oversight Democrat Rep. Stansbury exited a closed-door deposition involving Ghislaine Maxwell, issuing explosive accusations about a wider cover-up tied to the Epstein case.

"There are more than three dozen individuals directly associated with Donald Trump named in those files."

"The United States government is engaged in an active cover-up of the largest sex trafficking scandal and influence peddling scandal in the history of the United States and Donald Trump is right at the center of it."

Nothing stops one of them from lying on the Floor. They could read off every member of Congress and they'd be protected by the Speech and Debate clause.

Can't trust any name given and any name withheld.
