It's like the 12 days of Streisanding.
Yo, @rokhanna.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy, while you're looking into the DOJ not complying with the law, might want to ask them about some of their redaction choices that they screwed up.
Anyway, curious what possible rationale the DOJ could have for redacting those sections saying that Epstein paid off witnesses to their "criminal sex trafficking and abuse conduct," threatened harm, to "release damaging stories about them," and telling them to "destroy evidence."

Some people have called into question whether or not there was actually a redaction fail on the Epstein docs, and it's true the original poster didn't present any evidence. I need to head out for a bit and in an abundance of caution deleted the original post until I've learned more...
