Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Unless they release verifiably unredacted/unedited documents (and I'm not sure whether/if verifably unredacted/unedited documents are possible in this circumstance) I'm not going to believe they aren't holding things back out of self preservation anyhow.
The worst possible time for anything like this to be released is during the Trump admin, because now I have to apply an extra layer of skepticism.
I don't even have to go to a conservative sub to know they are or will handwave away his presence on the flight logs, and I know nothing worse is going to be released about Trump or any Trump ally, so what's even the point aside from a witch hunt for all Trump's enemies who somehow will be on the list?
To be clear, I'm sure that Democrats and a disappointingly long list of non-politicians are on that list too, and they should all see the light of day.
They are releasing it now so the base forgets about it in two to four years.
Look at them overachieving when they only need to worry about memories like goldfish.
Well, also the flight logs alone doesn't mean much. It's certainly suspicious, but it's not damning. There was more than one reason to associate with Epstein.
You need more than just flight logs. The suspect would have to say something about "he likes them young, like me" or something similar.
Yeah, you'd need something like Trump saying that he liked to surprise the young contestants at the Trump Beauty Pagents by opening the doors of the changing rooms while the girls were naked.
Oh, he did say that? Oh. He also talked about flying on his private jet with Epstein and some of the girls to the pagents? Oh.
He's already said that he will not release this information. I'm not sure why this is surprising anyone. They're releasing stuff that was already out there. None of this is new and there won't be anything new at least until the next administration if ever.
From what I remember the last time this list was circulated, this is the entire flight log of a private pilot who flew to Epstein's island among other places. So being on the log doesn't even mean you knew Epstein, just that you used the same pilot.
At this point the document could be doctored, then released.
That's essentially what I expect is happening, and it's going to be difficult to convince me otherwise.
