Did the internet just connect the dots on the DOJ’s involvement in the Epstein case?

Things are about to get messy.

Internet users may have just brought to light the corruption of the United States Department of Justice in relation to the Jeffrey Epstein case, and I am all here for it. Honestly, anyone who isn’t a Trump supporter already suspected that the DOJ, led by Pam Bondi, one of Trump’s closest aides, would eventually end up doing something like this, but no one could have predicted how foolish they would be to do it in such a reckless manner.

Following the Department of Justice’s release of thousands of documents and photographs related to the Epstein investigation, there has been a lot of discussion about the notable absence of one individual from these revelations: United States President Donald Trump. He was once thought to be very close (best friends even) to the disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and it was reported that he broke ties over Epstein’s alleged misconduct. However, based on the information uncovered by internet users regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case recently, the reality appears quite different, suggesting that Trump may have known or done more than he is ready to admit.

By now, everyone knows that the documents released by the Department of Justice in the past few days regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case contained an extraordinary number of redactions. While the officials involved have insisted that the redactions were necessary to protect the identities of the victims, others have argued that the identities of wealthy and powerful men were being safeguarded instead.

It turns out that those who accused the DOJ of mishandling the Jeffrey Epstein Files and other related documents were indeed correct. Many internet users who suspected the government of such wrongdoing made a notable observation about the released documents. Many pointed out that the Epstein Files on the Department of Justice website allowed users to highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it into another document, revealing what was concealed (I know, it is crazy). Following this, they also noted that if someone pressed Control+F and typed “Trump ” (with a space) in the search bar, they would find that his name was mentioned over 600 times in the document. However, people also pointed out that if someone simply searched for “Trump” (without the space), his name did not appear in documents, suggesting that the Department of Justice likely had the search function blocked for those going through the documents. What a poorly executed job.
