I expect that the documents that the FBI is "withholding" will turn out to be nothing more than the timesheets of people who worked on the case and other internal documents that have no real use as evidence in the case against Epstein. Basically Bondi is making a whole bunch of noise over nothing. Her first document dump turned out to be a "nothing burger" -- and any additional "document dumps" will simply be more of the same.
Ok. But let's see those time sheets as part of the package in your hypothetical. No better way to document which agents worked on the case so that you put further inquiry on to them if needed. I said in my above post that I don't enter into the issue of whether anything newsworthy may or may not be in the material. I am commenting only on the issue of whether the request for ALL records is being met.
Why would you need to redact any part of the Epstein files for national security reasons unless... oh I see it. Trump’s AG Claims She Will Release More Epstein Docs, but They May Be Redacted for National Security The search for radical "transparency" isn't going so well inside the new Trump White House. https://gizmodo.com/trumps-ag-claim...-be-redacted-for-national-security-2000571431
If there was anything in that Epstein material that hurt Trump, the swamp- including Comey- would have released it to the New York Times lonnnnnnnnnnng ago.
Lots of people had contact with and socialized with Epstein. Some were just socialite or business types. Some were very bad actors. As I said, if all the investigations produced bad stuff on Trump beyond just the fact that he knew him, it would have been leaked to the New York Times lonng ago. Epstein had stuff on lots of people, that's why someone had him killed.
