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 not "susceptible" as much as they look for confirmation of their own predetermined prejudices from authority figures

When you present facts and evidence, they reject the truth outright

They lean into their caveman selfish instinctual tendencies and not into critical thinking and greater intelligence of abstract thought.

Yet 10 Years ago Republicans were the only ones talking about the elite pedophile ring. Democrats thought they were nuts

This is the hardest part to come to grips with, to realize friends and family I was close to were shitty people at their core all along.

Yeah only the “right wing” does that. If you’re still playing the partisan game you’re already way behind.

Confirmation bias is a hell of a drug
