No electronic devices? OK, stock up on old 35mm cameras and film. And carbon paper / rubbings or whatever, copy as much as possible using non-electronic means.
Bring in a big box of silly putty, take transfers of as much as they can.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

That's all the rules!

This is extremely limited.
Only the Congress members themselves can go and not their staff.
Only the 3 million documents that they released and not the full 6 million documents.
Realistically all they'll be able to do is pick out a specific redacted document and look at its unredacted version.
A lot of these items are sandwiched with anonymous tip call docs so there are lots of crazy BS claims interspersed with actual stuff that happened in order to discredit the actual stuff that happened.
Jesus fuckin christ the lengths these people will go to to protect pedophiles
If the US government had an arcane tome with spells that can kill with a word, raise the dead, and grant wishes, they would protect it less carefully than this.
Fun fact! Epstein ran a multinational child sex ring. That means other countries with their own investigations have unredacted files as well.
They'll come out sooner or later.
- multinational child rape ring
Im ignorant on this. Do we know that other countries have the unredacted files?
I’m not sure they’d have American files; I think the implication is that they’d have their own with evidence they were able to gather.
I think most of the files here though are from the raid on the island. Other countries won’t have those unless we shared.
Poland is trying to open an investigation of possible links of Polish citizens to Epstein.
Source to other countries having unredacted files?
If MI5 don't have a big thick dossier on The Andrew Formally Known As Prince then they are doing a shit job.

MAGA are pretty stupid. You could probably sneak some of those Ray Ban Meta glasses in there.
I mean, Zuck probably has a killswitch for anything Epstein related
Is he in the files?
Well, time to run for congress. My platform is "I am possibly the most autistic a person can be while still being capable of public speaking. Give me 2 months in office and I will memorize and publicly recite that shit. I will be resigning immediately afterwards. I have no other policy positions/will pursue no other policy objectives."
I have no other policy positions/will pursue no other policy objectives."
Except I will ensure that the army develops large 20 metre high robots that I call Battlemechs.
And we shall paint them blue, gold, white, red, green and not red and black.
Coz fuck Kurita
I don't remember the lore well enough. I seem to recall having a hate boner for Smoke Jaguar. I don't remember why. What did house Kurita do?
Edit: oh and to ensure they are proper battlemechs, they have to be able to walk and jump! None of the continuous track BS that they used at the so-called "first battlemech fight," a few years ago.
Throw in a VF-1 program and you're golden.
Amazing to me they can be held back at all. It just shows how much power the executive branch has taken. Congress should be able to do whatever they please in this regard.
If I was a Dem politician (one who actually had balls), I'd demand to read all files that mention Trump, his cronies and Israel with as many GOP politicians present as possible.
Then make all we learned together public and call them out for knowing it too but continuing to support that pedophile asshole.
I mean, yeah, but all the files, not just the ones mentioning Trump and Co. Let's get all the evil fuckers.
This is to protect the victims, right?
If by "victims" you mean "the people whose lives will be ruined if the unredacted files are fully released", then yes.
Won't someone think of the poor billionaires?
I think of them all the time!
Sometimes, they're crucified alive along the streets into major cities. Other times they're guillotined on public television. Anymore, it's just injecting them alive with raw sewage and then slowly ripping them apart with a medieval torture racks right before they succumb to sepsis.
I'm an empath and nothing in this world drives me to homicidal thoughts than those fuckers and how much they have fucked everything in the world because they can. The more I learn the more I'm ready to drive a stake through their cold, dead hearts!
Yeah that's why they redacted all the politicians names.
Gonna be a whole party of them locked in their offices jerking off to certain materials.
"Members of Congress will each be able to private-view unredacted Epstein files ... from their own individual booth"
Ahhh, just like the '90s
Nah the CSAM then was just on Napster named "LionKing2.mpg".
A Grand Old Party, one might say.
And what difference are we all believing this will make this time?
It's another distraction from them stealing the midterms and planning to nationalize them. Unless, they finally impeach him. But I'm guessing that won't happen.
I have no hope that the American government will do anything. It reaches too many people, and they aren’t going to punish themselves.
There will be a few head shakes, some words about needing to do better. But the American government does not truly stand on the side of protecting the vulnerable, and I don’t believe it ever will.
I don’t either. And the America we were sold on, never existed to begin with. It’s amazing how thin that veil turned out to be. I wonder if all the talk about the military being the dividing wall between a fascist regime and a civil war was bullshit too.
I’ve a feeling we’re going to find out.
They're gonna furrow their brows so hard.
We need congressional representatives who are young and have photographic memories to view this shit.
What's the official rules on what they can share? Like could Ro Khanna do like a AMA where we give him page numbers... solid targetted list of
"OK so who messaged epstien about the littlest girl being very naughty", who all were the co-conspirators listed on page X, etc...
Is that information considered classified he'd go to jail for it? I mean technically everythings supposed to have been released from the get go...
Because we honestly, we've seen more than enough to know heads need to roll, hell we can point to so many points in the files where we can see specific people that's heads should be rolling where we just lack the names.
In theory anything they say in session is legal. Hence, The Pentagon Papers. Who knows how it would play out today.
On the other hand, Gaetz and a bunch of other fuckwads basically live streamed themselves breaking into a scif.
I would have so loved to see every one of those fuckers arrested for that little stunt. The smug little pricks.
They're only letting congress read unredacted versions of files they've already released to the public in redacted form. So nothing unvetted is being released to congress.
The lawmakers that haven't done anything to stop ICE, curtail tarrifs, tax the oligarchs, flight for healthcare? Those lawmakers?
Huh. Another Monday, then.
TIL I’m a member of Congress.
You have unredacted copies? And haven’t made them available to the data hoarding community on Lemmy?
I mean, these ass clowns have already released stuff that they forgot to redact and stuff that wasn’t redacted in ways that actually removed PII.
Bullshit. You all know it's bullshit. It will not happen.
Until he’s impeached, convicted and removed from office and his adminstration prosecuted, convicted and jailed. I don’t want to hear about Epstein. Or Trump.
