Going nowhere in 3... 2...
Schumer said the files could be released with redactions because keeping the information of the victims private "must be of top importance."
Sure, keep the victims private, but don't give them free license to redact shit.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

The list is released with all names redacted. Because the right would consider anyone on the list as a victim, even those who committed crimes.
This is obviously the answer to why the victim count went up and the perpetrator count went down to 2, soon to be 1. They're interpreting Trump as a victim and trying to figure out how to argue that he is a victim, but Clinton isn't to throw meat to the wolves.
There are not 1000s of women at a brothel, but there may be 1000s of johns.
And Democrats will fall for it again. They'll go after Clinton, because that is the high road. Everyone on the list needs to be brought to whatever justice is due.
Just like the Panama papers... sigh.
There's actually been a guy to go to prison over the Panama Papers. Sorry, he went to jail over paying to have a journalist murdered.
They still haven't had the trial yet, but the jackass spent 6 years in jail before they granted him bail.
His henchmen in the murder are all some form of sentence with one of them having turned state's witness.
The coverup is often worse than the crime. I say often because Trump is try to cover up an extremely serious crime. Or rather a bunch of them.
Ding ding ding. Nixon tapes pt 2 pedophile boogaloo

Good news they'll just use black highlight instead of actually redacting anything.
Seeing at how incompetent DOGE was. This is totally plausible.
Honestly, I’m imagining a ridiculous scenario where the victims get protection and their names are accidentally outed in the Epstein files. Imagine all the Trumpers going off to threaten these victims and being shot dead for it. Solves so many problems all at once.
Sigh.
They don’t want the billionaires to be victims of cancel culture.
Schumer's on the list.
What's the plan if the files contain damming evidence against Trump? Will he be impeached? Will he be arrested like anybody else? Will there just be no consequences whatsoever? What is the protocol when the president is revealed to have committed heinous crimes? I want to know NOW!
Oh yea, he will definitely be impeached for the third time. One more impeachment and he'll get a Writ of Reprimand. 4 of those and a Supreme Court judge literally slaps him on the wrist. That'll show him.
Will they slap him with this?
no, those were recalled for slicing up people’s wrists
If someone slapped me with that I'd prefer it sliced my wrists. I don't want to live knowing I've worn one.
That's what happens when more than 33 senators are willing to stand by the president no matter what they do I suppose. When it came to honor/shame, no one ever thought someone so wretched wouldn't just be forcibly removed by the people around them.
33 lmao, judging by the senate confirmation votes, there's at least 50.

Well, if 20 Republicans crossed the aisle he could be removed from office. I think more likely is we'll be seeing lots of GOP seats lost in the midterm elections.
if 20 Republicans crossed the aisle he could be removed from office.
I would sooner bank on 20 Dems leaping to his defense in the name of bipartisanship

They would 100% never let files with Trump's name in it out. This is going to absolutely backfire on the Democrats when the Republicans inevitably release a doctored list with all their political enemies on it. This is so much better for the Dems when the files are a big MacGuffin. Even if by some miracle they did release the actual list and Trump was on it, they would say it was a witch hunt by the corrupt Biden administration and MAGA would eat it up. There will never be legal consequences for any of them, ever. If they ever do get consequences it will be because of some brave Luigi.
Well once it really gets proven he is a pedo, which we're pretty close to, his own base will likely eat him alive and, I dunno, split off into factions?
What will happen?
Anywhere from nothing to full out civil war, pushed mostly by ~~the crazies~~ MAGA.

How can Republicans block this...?
By continuing to not follow the law or process as it benefits them like they have been. But good on Dems for the constant pressure. That's exactly what they need to do.
They don't have to block shit. They can just ignore it.
Fall back on the sovcit playbook: claim that it's outside their jurisdiction and stall for time until they come up with another excuse to protect toddler-tupper Trump.
This is literally what I expect them to do. They'll claim governmental affairs nor homeland security have any reason to be involved in this case.
They'll have their stooges argue this on Fox news as well and twist the knife saying "Democrats are wasting your money on a witch hunt instead of working to improve your lives!"
I mean, if it's not blocked, who's going to force them to release?
By doing whatever the fuck they want.
...and how much MAGAite shit will they have to swallow for trying?
It's weird that the Senate had a special centuries old rule requiring everyone produce at least once piece of child pornography before a vote can continue, but I guess the 1830s was just a different time.
Any day now...
Anyyyyyy daayyyyyyy
Someone posted this up on here a couple of weeks ago. I'll do my part to repost it:

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

No fucking way
Dude, now do UAP.
(By the way, I’m basically quoting Chuck here. He said the same in a tweet earlier this year. Fucking ineffectual clown.)
