DOJ Prioritized Powerful Names Over Victims
The Justice Department prioritized redacting powerful figures over protecting victims' privacy in the Epstein files release process.
That choice undermines victims' trust and raises questions about who DOJ is protecting.

Transparency Doesn't Nullify Victim Privacy
Victims can want full transparency while still legally demanding privacy for their identities and records.
Kristy Greenberg stressed the law protects victims' privacy even as files are released.

Victims Given A Court Email, Not Line Contacts
DOJ filings were signed only by top officials, without line prosecutors' contact details for victims.

Why is the Department of Justice prioritizing powerful figures over Epstein victims as the December 19 deadline approaches?
On this urgent episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, in collaboration with Courtside with Kristy Greenberg, former federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg joins to expose how DOJ delays and inconsistent redaction processes are jeopardizing the full release of Epstein files, failing victims by exposing their identities while shielding others, and raising serious questions about trust in any renewed investigations.
Greenberg breaks down the recent court filings and judicial criticisms highlighting the DOJ's inadequate notice to victims, the absence of established redaction procedures even days before the deadline, reports of prior efforts to redact certain high-profile figures, and the potential risks victims face in cooperating with a Southern District of New York probe that appears selective.
