To protect the privacy of the rich?

Probably more because it'll tip the ones who actually have cases open on them off.

That's like 90% of what's in still classified docs from controversial moments in domestic investigations, information which could show the hand to people currently under investigation, and also techniques the FBI uses in evidence gathering which aren't known to the wider public and who's exposure could lead to suspects catching wise and closing the avenue.

If you've ever seen one of those get smart posts about how to avoid being identified at a demonstration, Domestic Intelligence is openly trying to avoid more shit being added to those lists of ways to avoid detection. Yes it's absolutely adversarial to the privacy of the public but it's a lot less conspiratorial than a blood libel agenda to cover up the child trafficking of the rich.

Or...

Oh, Johnny. I hope you get better, and soon. Don't start hanging out with that ratfuck Chappelle, either.

Epstein died in 2019. If there's any open cases it's because they're not making any effort to close them.

That's not how major investigations of entire criminal networks work and if you weren't trying to make blood libel cool because class consciousness or whatever you'd know better.

Their initial investigation into him lasted 13 months.
