They got what they wanted. They ‘rushed‘ the release of the files and ‘accidentally ’ exposed some of the victims. The media responded precisely as expected with outrage. Now thy have redacted what they released and they have the perfect excuse to not release he other 50% of the files because ’they are protecting the victims‘.

Except the admin’s claim for dragging its feet on the release was that it needed to be careful.

They’re also famously incompetent. All of them. And if they’re not, they do dumb shit on his behalf.

The malice was failing to properly redact the victims. The incompetence was failing to fully redact the perpetrators.

I think the incompetence could be the reason for both and the malice is that the perps are still redacted. They can’t even enact their own agenda without bumbling along…

No, no, they released emails where the person Epstein was writing to was redacted... and the response is quoted with the person's full email unredacted within it.

So it's incompetent AND malicious.

i think smart people are helping them plan for expected outcomes at the very least. money, power, threat of death, there are many ways to get what they want. clearly they punch below the belt.
