At this point, even if I did release them, could we actually believe that they are not tainted by the current administration, who would be doing said releasing of files?
I think it's going to be hard to convincingly alter them (relevant video that explains how tampering could get detected). Also, so far they've covered things up pretty sloppily (e.g: Epstein's jail footage), so I expect that trend to continue.
I was under the impression that enough people have seen enough of the unredacted material that it’s simply unrealistic to fake the report
That's right.
Or maybe he’s going to take a few people out that do know in order to send a message before he does it?
What message would it send other than "I'm guilty"? And in the FBI only, 1000 agents have worked on various parts of the Epstein files. Too many people are involved in this. I think the main reason this has not completely blown up yet is that the majority of the FBI are Trump supporters. But the simple fact that we know 1000 agents have worked is already proof that there are cracks in the cover-up machine.
It’s probably safer to have 1000 agents go through it than 10, because the more you’re able to compartmentalize the information the harder it is for any of those agents to truly have the full picture. They likely all only know little slivers of the most incriminating stuff a piece and so it may not look nearly as bad as it is to any one of them.
Just black out the lines like in othe 'released' documents /files?...pretty sure they just do that. Or outright remove parts, for whatever reason deemed plausible, if they give any at all. National security, whatever... Give it a few years, and some things will come out, unless youre going to steal the papers yourself. You saw what Epstein got. Giselle complicit, or next.
There's a book called one nation under blackmail, it's a tome. But, if you can get through the 2 parts, it does the best job detailing the Epstein saga. Every claim comes with primary sources in the appendix, it's honestly a must read if you want to understand Epstein.
It does a great job detailing the Roy Cohn and Trump connection.

As if they couldn't just release them all with Donald Trump's name scribbled out in crayon and replaced with "Barack Obama" or whatever and the MAGA base wouldn't just lap it up like they've lapped up everything else this admin has puked out
This is covered in the video I shared above. Basically, they're counting on the many people who actually saw the files to point out any inconsistencies (which can be done anonymously). Of course, there is no guarantee that anyone would speak up. Just like there's no guarantee there'd be actual consequences for Trump and his minions even if that happened. Still no harm in hoping. Defeatism won't get us far.
I dont think anything is gonna happen. This is like the latest copium to hope because people don't want to go to arms to bring about change. Look at the conservative subreddit where they see a pic like this and celebrate. Look at how the media, left or right, rarely ever bring up any kind of news that puts the evil people in a bad light. Its all over but I'm still gonna vote cuz I aint a bitch.
It could be tainted by any administration because all of them have some people on that list. Which is why the whole operation was successful. No point in running a mission to compromise members of one administration only. No point in waiting 4 years to get your policies through when you can pressure a bunch of people in power now.
