A staffer in the Justice Department said in a secretly recorded video that the department would redact any Republican names from its investigative files on the late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

The administration has been funneling the Epstein files to Capitol Hill in a supposed show of transparency, but only liberals’ names will remain visible, the staffer said.

“If they’re released in any way, it’s going to be very redacted. They’ll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal Democratic people in those files,” Joseph Schnitt, acting deputy chief of the DOJ’s Office of Enforcement Operations, says in the video.

    That’s what identity politics gets us.

    Republicans support trump because they genuinely view democrats the way we view republicans. Both parties are to blame for this, because they focus on gridlock issues that will never change to distract from the class war.

    It’s a two-pronged strategy, and you should start looking at anyone who is “gung-ho” for a candidate from either party as a useful idiot.
