Keep in mind, most of the heinous acts took place in the late 1990\u2019s and early 2000\u2019s.\u00a0\u00a0While there is no federal statute of limitations on those types of crimes, it would be difficult to try those cases at this late date.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Yet of six million pages, only three million are released.\u00a0\u00a0Many of those are totally redacted, blacked out so that the public can\u2019t know what\u2019s on them.\u00a0\u00a0And it now seems that Justice redacted names, not of the victims, but of the participants in the acts.\u00a0\u00a0Many of the victims have had their full information released, including even driver\u2019s licenses and social security numbers.\u00a0\u00a0But the names of many of those who joined Epstein \u201cfor the fun\u201d, seem to be protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jedi Mind Tricks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The Justice Department is engaging in their own attempt at \u201cJedi Mind Tricks\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0They are saying that the three million is all there is to see.
