The FBI’s New York field office normally handles counterintelligence, counterterrorism, public corruption, international drug trafficking, and financial crime investigations. Right now, though, it has been ordered to prioritize redacting sensitive information in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Vanity Fair reports, citing multiple sources, that nearly a thousand agents, who normally work on national security issues in the bureau’s largest field office, are working night and day combing the documents instead of on their regular jobs.

“It’s literally all hands on deck,” one unnamed source told the magazine. “I even saw an agent walking in with a pillow.” One former agent called the situation “ludicrous.”

    Dont redact anything. These are pedophiles. We can easily make new celebrities that aren’t sexually attracted to children.

        Then, to borrow a phrase popularized by one of the names they’re probably highlighting with a Sharpie, lock them up.

        Why would the politicians be worth keeping if they molest children?

        Q Anon is about getting rid of pedophiles in power only if they’re liberal. I’m scorched earth. Get them all out.

        The amount of effort going into this makes it pretty much certain there’s nasty stuff about Trump in there. He couldn’t have signalled it more clearly.

        And they should be redacted. But with this administration, the victims names and all personal information will not be redacted. Just the names and personal information of the perpetrators will be redacted.

          Seeing as the first tranche listed Trump’s name 7 times, my guess is that’s why this bunch is being combed through.
