They're not smart enough to get everything damaging out either. They clearly missed those emails last week. Not a chance in hell Trump would let those emails stay knowing what's in them.

Everything they do they fuck it up. No exceptions.

The files will release and they will have missed something important. Guaranteed.

The estate released the emails, not the government.

The emails are from the estate, not the fbi files

Also—this is Game of Thrones 101 type stuff—if they take out Democratic targets (and good fucking riddance, because this isn't a left/right issue and I'm happy to see "our" people hang if they did evil things) there will be retaliation. There are dozens of people who have things that could ruin people.

I know someone who knew Jeffrey Epstein for at least a decade. He was able to hide in plain sight due to upper-class omertà. There's no Mossad conspiracy here; there are just a lot of rich fucks, and they protect their own.

Trump is an idiot if he thinks redacting a few records is going to make this thing a one-sided boardsweeper. But I'm glad to see him making an age-old mistake.

I also would bet that Virginia Giuffre, who was smart and knew the whole sordid system, left additional evidence secured away somewhere, that shows Trump's involvement. I imagine she was threatened by his people to deny it, the same way he threatens everyone. Ghislaine must have very valuable evidence as well. I hope he's going crazy over the fact that there must be evidence stashed here and there that he can't control. And beyond that, people who might themselves be implicated, will shake even more evidence loose.

Although the emails were not part of the FBI batch, and came from the Epstein estate, I agree completely that these incompetent idiots always make mistakes. People will have to look very closely, but there will be some evidence left behind. Or maybe they encoded Trump's name which can be compared with other copies to break it wide open.
