Epstein alleged victims lawyer sends scathing letter over DOJ document release

(ABC News) When the House Oversight Committee released a trove of files and emails from the Epstein estate earlier this month, alleged victims of the convicted sex offender responded with "widespread panic" after learning the documents included dozens of unredacted victim names, prominent attorneys for Epstein victims told a federal judge this week.

"I thought the government had promised to redact our names and identifying material. I don't understand how this is happening again," one alleged victim told attorneys Bradley Edwards and Brittany Henderson, with the Edwards Henderson law firm, according to a court filing Wednesday.

"This type of negligence by the government to a survivor is just unable to comprehend. It is just impossible," another alleged victim said, according to the filing. "I don't understand how this is possible."

This ‘accidental’ revelation of victims names will give the DOJ a great excuse to delay releasing information and give them the opportunity to carefully redact the names of the powerful and connected perpetrators.

Seeing nefarious motivations behind anything the Trump DOJ does is, as Goldwater once said, well, you know the rest.

And I will bet you that they redacted every single reference to trump, didn't miss one.

Bondi's order, leave the girls in and erase trump completely. They are exposing the girls; it is called victim shaming.
