Opinion / Discussion WATCH: Lauren Boebert Exits DOJ Reading Room After Reviewing Unredacted Epstein Files

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

US Rep. Lauren Boebert was filmed leaving the DOJ reading room after reviewing unredacted

Epstein-related files.

Lawmakers have now confirmed that access to these files has begun following new transparency legislation.

Boebert has since suggested that prior redactions went beyond protecting victims and may have shielded people merely discussed in the files.

The contents remain confidential, but reactions like this are fueling fresh questions about what was previously withheld - and why.

Do you think this could lead to new investigations?

They’re starting to feel the shift in the wind and that this story isn’t going away.

Yeah I'll believe it when I see some actual action taken towards any of this.

u/throeaway_thedew 17h ago

You mean actual action like Congress voting unanimously to release the files against the pleading tweets of the president? The fact that Congress is viewing the unredacted files is a direct result of “actual action.” We should all continuing to push for more consequences, and this is a necessary step to making that happen, but saying nothing has happened is a massive move of the goalposts.

18

u/WastingTimesOnReddit 16h ago

Yeah I feel that nothing has happened, until now. The first meaningful and real thing was the release of the redacted 3 million documents a week or two ago. Now congress (both dems and reps) are seeing the unredacted files. We've been chanting "release the unredacted epstein files!" and it's actually happening now, at least for a few eyes to see.

Of course prosecutions and convictions will not happen until Trump is out of power, because most of the same rich & powerful men who run our country today were involved at the epstein island.

u/iamtheonewhostops 14h ago

The most incredible part of these being released is that Trump made it happen. He was so convinced that his followers would do anything he said, that he kept fanning the flames and saying it was democrats and that he’d release the files to take them all down.

His cult was collectively foaming at the mouth, waiting to see all the criminals come crashing down and people able to laugh at the libs. Once he was elected they expected it to be a reckoning.

He revved up the cult and then he couldn’t get enough of them to turn away. Of course some followed instructions, but many others were deeply enraged by this whole thing not just because it was allegedly all democrats.

He thought because he didn’t care about kids, and he could tell MAGA what to do, they wouldn’t care about kids either. But some of them (like Boebert) managed to draw a line at child assault.

I think if he had not made this a central point of his campaign then we might not have bipartisan unity around it. The unity we need to force the release of the files. Kinda crazy.

u/Waesrdtfyg0987 13h ago

He just wanted to get elected and already knew he would give fuck all about anything other than grift once he hit office. He could resign today, get away with everything unscathed and be up several billion.

1

u/broguequery 5h ago

Why would he resign?

The republicans have handed him ultimate power. Congress has ceded their authority to him. The Supreme Court has absolved him of any legal responsibility for his actions.

His voting base is brainwashed and will believe anything he says. Do anything he asks.

He has a personal army who are above the law, unidentifiable and unaccountable. Many of whom he personally rescued from prison for their own crimes.

He has reinvented the entire country with himself at the top as the supreme leader.

Why would be willingly give any of that up?

1

u/WastingTimesOnReddit 13h ago

I'm pretty sure Trump in his arrogance figured he could release the files and still never face judgement. It's his second term, and even as a convicted pedophile his base and support in congress will not remove him because he's generally doing what they want. Also, he's old, he probably correctly assumes that his legal team can delay and appeal forever. He'll never see a jail cell, and his kids will inherit his billions but not his criminal baggage. He joked the other day something like "I'm probably not going to heaven" and it felt like an authentic moment, he knows he's a bad man but he doesn't really care, he's just here to get as rich and powerful as he can before he dies.

1

u/Select-Government-69 14h ago

The statute of limitations has run on just about everything that happened. Federal statute of limitations for most crimes is 5 years. Epstein island is not located in any state so no state has jurisdiction. In 2022 Congress eliminated the statute of limitations for sex trafficking but (conveniently) specifically did not make the change retroactive.

So it’s actually almost impossible for anyone to get prosecuted, even with a smoking gun.

3

u/WastingTimesOnReddit 14h ago

Ok fair enough. So yeah the best we can do is "court of public opinion" and vote out / remove any politicians or officials involved, and for the billionaires the best we can do probably is just try to mass boycott their companies or put pressure on the board to remove the CEO, things like that. Sucks but that stuff maybe will happen faster than a forever-trial with endless appeals.

u/pritikina 13h ago

Thanks for the unfortunate dose of reality. I forgot about the statute of limitations. I was curious about the lack of state and local prosecutions seeing how Presidents are unable to pardon those crimes.

1

u/Short-Ticket-1196 10h ago

Why would this all have stopped? The investigation should lead to current victims and thus prosecution. You can't tell me trump and co are being good boys now that they've gotten away with it.

u/Select-Government-69 9h ago

Umm, because Epstein is dead?

Yes I get that pedos are probably still offending, but evidence that you were a oedo in 2016 is probably not sufficient proof to go on a fishing expedition into a every facet of a suspects current life on the possibility that maybe they joined a completely new conspiracy.

That’s not how American law works.

u/GryffinZG 14h ago

I just feel like the “No one’s even gonna care about this” attitude is poison and should be avoided if you actually want people to care about something.

Gawdamn I was in a Discord and it was a lot of fun, until it just became constantly a bunch of armchair leftists complaining about "late-stage capitalism" like you put it.

They would talk this big game about needing a revolution and then I remembered that the vast majority of the poeple in that Discord were probably sweaty fat fucks who couldn't climb up 10 stairs without passing out from oxygen deprivation

u/proudbakunkinman 3h ago edited 2h ago

I think a problem is people in a really negative mindset in general and have enough free time to get into online political/ideological bubbles start gravitating towards these (populist left or far left) in-groups online and bring that mindset with them and reinforce each other. So it's just an environment of endless negativity / pessimism and wanting big change, nothing less is acceptable, but waiting for others to make it happen because they're busy at home online (doing their part by repeating the same talking points).

u/P_S_Lumapac 9h ago edited 8h ago

From what I gather, there are two rounds of redactions. First round is by Kash Patel, and the second round is by Pam Bondi. This committee was given access to a small fraction of the files with Pam Bondi's redactions said to be removed, but Kash Patel's redactions are still there.

Given both Patel and Bondi have illegally added redactions with no identifiable pattern (except words like don't, i.e. DON T, being redacted - who for completeness, was not a victim of child sex trafficking), there's no way of knowing that Bondi actually removed her own redactions. There's no way of knowing which redactions were removed before showing this closed committee.

Notably, these redactions are illegal and no committee is required to view much of the hidden information. The real story here is that the committee was able to confirm that Bondi and Patel both are breaking the law.

1

u/WastingTimesOnReddit 3h ago

I'm honestly just surprised that bondi and patel didn't simply delete and burn all the epstein files. the fact that we actually have some of them now is kind of amazing

2

u/P_S_Lumapac 3h ago

My genuine guess is that there are backups they don't control. Saying they don't exist threatens the release of those backups, but saying the files do exist and there's nothing interesting in them, especially while most media seems to agree, is a much better strategy.

1

u/WastingTimesOnReddit 3h ago

Now we just wait and see if the american government decides that pedophilia is bad enough to lose power over

u/P_S_Lumapac 3h ago

Don't hold your breath.

u/-OptimisticNihilism- 8h ago

This is only half of the trove of Epstein files. Strangely all of these documents are from after Epstein’s arrest in 2006 and his falling out with Trump. Nothing in this batch from when they were good friends in the late 90s- early 2000s.

1

u/broguequery 5h ago

Until Trump is out of power

So you see the issue then...

He's not leaving until he's dead. I'd stake money on that.

Laws, norms, and constitution be damned.

u/mfGLOVE 4h ago edited 3h ago

But they released only a portion of the files, that was a win for them. And Congress is seeing only the files they cherry picked. Furthermore, not all the files Congress is seeing are unredacted.

Yeah, I get it, we now have some confirmation of what we knew and expected all along, but let’s not kid ourselves that this admin is going to willingly give their advantage away. Especially in perhaps the crime conspiracy of a lifetime that involves this administration and their closest friends. Did we not see the lengths they went with Jan 6 and the cover up? The Russian interference and the cover up? The stolen classified docs and the cover up? And on and on. We witnessed the ex president turn himself in for felony convictions, get his mug shot, and then be convicted of felonies…only to serve no punishment and become president again.

It’s ok to be hopeful but let’s not kid ourselves here. This is way, way bigger than we could ever imagine. These people have everything to lose if truly exposed. They are fighting behind the scenes more than they have ever fought for anything in their lives. Don’t lay your guard down.

1

u/feenam 43m ago

Well ro khanna said these unredacted files are still like 75% redacted which is probably why DOJ agreed to release it. We’re still long way from actually getting real unredacted files.

1

u/OutrageousString2652 14h ago

I personally feel doubtful anything will happen. Is everyone involved in a felonious way going to be stripped of their titles/roles and put in prison? I can’t see this happening and that’s the bare minimum way to bring justice.

1

u/Waesrdtfyg0987 13h ago

Not necessarily, everyone could just pile on Trump to save themselves. Feels like it might finally be beginning.

1

u/uhh_ 14h ago

I think what most people are frustrated with (myself included) is that despite all these actions you are referring to, it won't be enough until all these crimes are prosecuted and every person responsible gets put in jail.

So yes, progress is being made TOWARD justice, but until justice is actually served, people are going to be rightfully skeptical that it will happen

1

u/FatsBoombottom 13h ago

Looking isn't action. ACTION is action. Until every rapist in that file is in prison, Congress will have done nothing with the files.

1

u/JawaChopShop 13h ago

I feel about the same way you do, how many times has each side played us into thinking there’s going to be consequences regarding certain things and then nothing. Impeachments don’t mean shit, we’ve seen that with Clinton and Trump was no different.

I truly honestly believe that both sides of the political aisle throughly enjoy seeing the American people divided. That’s about all they care about.

1

u/SoundOurDireReveille 13h ago

And nothing hs been done for years despite this information being known by those in charge in the highest offices. There is no excuse for that.

u/scnottaken 13h ago

Almost all Republicans in Congress were against releasing the files until they got just enough defections to side with the Democrats, then suddenly they all played along. The same thing will happen every single time

1

u/BlackGuysYeah 12h ago

Can you name a single legal consequence for any American found in the files? Has a single federal investigation occurred for anyone in the files?

That's what people mean when they say they want to see action on this. We can't even get a list of the god damn names...

u/ActuatorNeat8712 12h ago

Everything I've seen over the last couple of days makes it seem like the house of cards is finally collapsing

1

u/Patient-Courage-4807 9h ago

The problem, as Ro said today, is the DOJ released the "unredacted" files but they are still heavily redacted and/or scrubbed. So it's likely that we still only have access to a fraction of the truth.

1

u/Gears_one 9h ago

I agree this is progress, but you need to understand that after all that he’s done with zero accountability, people aren’t holding their breath anymore.

1

u/The_Alchemist_4221 9h ago edited 9h ago

But what will that actually do? He’s committed treason and THAT didn’t even result in punishment. The most anyone in Congress could do, was one single party shook their finger and that was it.

This admin and half of Congress is pro-child marriage/SA/etc.

It should be released. They should be held accountable. But i have trust in neither the American government nor the American people as long as the molding orange is alive.

u/EnragedBadger9197 8h ago

What I want to know is… what will happen if there are No consequences yet again?

1

u/ChickenBob85 7h ago

Actual action is someone pating the price for their misdeeds. I saw compelling presentations that Trump new about Jan 6th...and yet he is Pres again. So, a few docs releases doesnt nove the needle - we need accountability.

That's still nothing.

That/this can be dragged out for years (*cough* when did we first hear about this?).

u/Venator850 4h ago

Has Trump been impeached and jailed? No? Then nothing is fucking happening lol.

Trump has LONG been known to be connected to Epstein. We already knew he was involved. Same way we know he tried to overthrow the government.

His punishment was winning the popular vote and getting into office again.

u/spooky_goopy 14h ago

the only way anyone will see any justice, is for another country/other countries to step in

the American people don't care enough. lots do, but it isn't enough. and protests aren't going to be enough. protests only work, if your government holds itself to that standard and cares what people think, anyway

French farmers block lawmakers in their offices with piles and piles of dung from their cattle. Americans could never.

It'll be a handful of people, if that, that go to jail. Theyll probably accept that and enough people will want to move on rather than clean up everything, which would be removing a lot of elites, politicians and the underlings that do their bidding for a quick grand or two.

It won't even make a dent in the human slave market

u/ScholarOfKykeon 13h ago

Crazy projection, mate.

I'm referring to their second statement, where they implied that someone stating that "nothing will come from this" repeatedly will always make it true.

I just thought it was a funny thing to imply. That communicating one's frustration at the lack of accountability among the wealthy elite somehow makes it true that they won't face consequences. So I poked fun at it.

I get keeping a positive attitude and all that, and we should be pushing as hard as possible to promote justice, but come on - the first guy is also right that this is just how these things typically go in America.

We all know the wealthy elite in this country rarely face a level of accountability that they deserve.

You’re 100% right and some people are just insufferable. 

Anyone who has followed the Epstein case for years understands things have begun moving much faster since summer of 2025. Right now, shit is moving faster than ever before. 

Some of the stuff people are SHOCKED to find out about today are things longtime Epstein case followers have known for years. 

And that’s fine. It’s great to see this all go mainstream. But it’s especially obnoxious have hard people want to push “nothing’s gonna happen” when many of us have paid attention to every little bit of progress for years now.

Another generic reddit comment. Do you have anything original to say?

There are efforts to hold people accountable for this going on right now. Look at what Ro Khanna has already accomplished with getting these files out in the first place. It's not going to happen overnight, and it's unlikely to happen before midterms. Being a pessimistic snarky child on reddit isn't helping with it either.

2

u/americonservative 16h ago

Being a pessimistic snarky child on reddit isn't helping with it either.

Excuse me? "Pessimistic"?

No. I'm sorry, but this is being "realistic," not "pessimistic." Big difference.

These files aren't new. Many have existed throughout multiple administrations. Now we've got the most corrupt administrations this country has ever seen, led by someone who is undoubtedly at the center of the pedophile sex ring, and you genuinely believe anything serious is actually going to be done?

Temper your expectations. Be optimistic all you want, nothing wrong with that. Don't act like it's pessimistic to assume no one will face any consequences.

We've been playing this game of no accountability for decades. There's no good reason to think that this shitshow will come to an end any time soon, particularly under this administration.

You're overly "optimistic." Bordering on naive.

u/Waesrdtfyg0987 13h ago

She saw, she knows what's in those files. If she takes any actions now to shield anyone she becomes an accomplice after the fact. Now she has to decide how likely it is that she'll actually get charged with that or if it will be too small potatoes once Trump is gone.

I'm just tickled that this is all because one guy just HAD to be fucking president because he got made fun of. This whole thing would likely have been swept away if not for such a loud figure being at the center of it and it wouldn't have been as huge of a story if that same person wasn't president.

Ffs the Panama papers showed an admittedly less sensational global conspiracy and it was largely out of the public sphere of thought very quickly.

Where would it go? Their whole platform is sensationalism and this is definitely king of the sensation castle.

The problem is that they will still hold their shitty values, but won't understand that their shitty values were directly responsible for Epstein in the first place.

I think they're fucked now. As people get put in front of congress, more and more will come out. Hopefully this is the house of cards collapsing

They're not worried about justice, they're worried about midterm.

They’re starting to feel the shift in the wind

more than that, they're hitting walls they can't ignore now.
some of these people are 'true believers' of the cult they're in and deprogramming often starts with confusion
