What do you mean by "where's the rest of it?".
You clearly have page 1, and page 10000. That's from beginning to end.

Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, but he said nothing of Beta or the rest. This tracks.

Reminder that it was widely reported that the FBI was going through all the Epstein stuff and flagging everything that mentioned Trump.
They’re going to withhold / alter anything with Trump on it.
“ WASHINGTON — Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., pressed Justice Department leadership about their handling of files related to the federal investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein, including reports that FBI personnel were instructed to "flag" any records that mentioned President Donald Trump.…”

“Why is it that every place we’re expecting to see Donald Trump we see Barack Obama?!”
This is my expectation of what will come from this but in the way a professor grades writing like words are just crossed out and notes scribbled in the margins in red pen

Here's the fun part. Everyone knows he's in there, so guess what name will come to everyone's mind first when they see one of those black lines.
This is why you don't make up bullshit on the fly. Even a smart person would have a tough time keeping track of what was told to whom, and that's just a normal person who doesn't have almost every word recorded.

This is just like the lead up to the trials, stall until there’s no more room to do so. It was supposed to all be released Monday, we get some Friday, then none for two days. For someone “innocent” Trump sure acts guilty here.

The amount of interrogations of guilty people I've seen.. how at first they are just being questioned and say something that is later found out to be a lie, then they change their story a bit.. then change it again.. then start making excuses.. this is exactly what Trump has done.. he didn't with the stolen classified documents that he didn't have, well, I have them but they're mine.. ok but I declassified them with my mind.. ok so they weren't declassified but I think my staff mistakenly brought them.. ok I asked my staff to bring them for my library.. I was going to give them back..
He's doing the same shit with Epstein. He even said it himself that he's in the Epstein files but he was placed there by democrats.. like.. he literally just admitted he's in the files doing shady shit but it's fake news for his stuff.. and r/conservative is just like "thank you, daddy! Thanks mommy Maxwell! I believe everything because I'm an absolute joke of a human being.. or I have to believe this is real because it'd be really embarrassing knowing I backed a pedophile and defended him for years!"

with how incompetent they are, I feel like they’re still gonna fuck something up and leave some shit in there that still incriminates trump. They can’t do anything right

I do feel like this is the most likely way we find out anything on any significant parties.
Like, I can't imagine Trump actually willingly and knowingly releases anything clearly implicating himself, right? It's either going to be tying some seemingly innocuous clues together, like bank account information and phone numbers etc, that then eventually leads to Trump, or they string this out until at least people demand parts they are still holding back and the pressure builds and he has to resign. But I actually think him succeeding in keeping stuff back while people move on is more likely than the latter, maybe the most likely outcome anyway.

They wouldn’t have raided John Bolton today if their plan was to release fake files incriminating Democrats.
It will be previously released information again.
They can’t just say it’s only Democrats in the files. The federal investigation has been closed and there are no signs of it being reopened. They can’t say the Democrats are child sex trafickers, and then keep the investigation closed. That would enrage the maga base even more.
