The Justice Department’s leadership asked career prosecutors in Florida to volunteer over the “next several days” to help redact the Epstein files, in the latest Trump administration push toward releasing the hundreds of thousands of photos, internal memos and other evidence around the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

A supervising prosecutor in the Southern District of Florida’s US Attorney’s Office emailed the entire district office on Tuesday — two days before Christmas — announcing an “emergency request from the [Deputy Attorney General’s] office the SDFL must assist with,” according to a copy of the email reviewed by CNN. “We need AUSAs to do remote document review and redactions related to the Epstein files,” the email said.

    That would be ideal, but let’s be real… Everyone who sees those files have been handpicked by a team of DOJ dirt diggers and psychologists.

      They would have selected a group of Trump loyalist to do their redactions. However it would be very hard to guarantee that every censor would remain a loyalist after reading “and then Trump had sex with the child” for 8 hours every day.
