🚨🇺🇸 EPSTEIN FILES RELEASED IN DELIBERATELY DIFFICULT FORMAT: 33,295 INDIVIDUAL IMAGE FILES

Instead of releasing the Epstein documents as searchable PDFs, the House Oversight Committee uploaded every single page as an individual image file, making it nearly impossible to search or analyze efficiently.

The 33,295 pages are displayed as separate image files rather than consolidated, searchable documents.

Democrats claim the vast majority of documents have already been released publicly and only 3% contain new information.

The committee has not explained why they chose this cumbersome format over standard PDF release.

Critics argue this isn't transparency but deliberate obfuscation, forcing researchers and journalists to manually review over 33,000 individual images rather than using basic search functions.

The release format makes it exponentially harder to identify connections, search for specific names, or analyze patterns across the documents.
