US media has decided to pretend that the Epstein-Nassar Letter Epstein sent just before he died merely had a "crude reference" to Trump.

NO.

It was a clear, unambiguous allegation by Epstein that Trump *regularly sexually assaulted* "young, nubile girls."

Our media is BROKEN.

So for some of the Epstein docs they highlighted in black and then forgot to “print to pdf” which would have effectively flattened the formatting and stopped text being recoverable, but here we are.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

If you happen to be looking for bad redactions in a large set of data files today for some reason, there's an open source tool for that.
Y’all know we have a tool for finding exactly these kinds of bad redactions, right? free.law/open-source-...

Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

watching the CECOT 60 Minutes segment that CBS suppressed, it’s striking that Weiss specifically called out as unnecessary some of the most rigorous investigative work in the segment, including an explanation of how it was done (by human rights researchers)

With the ongoing RAM shortage, the thing in Neuromancer about 3 megabytes of hot RAM might be oddly prophetic in the worst way possible.

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.
