The Justice Department hyped the release of documents related to the Epstein investigation, but there were no new bombshells.

The material released contained previously published pilot logs from the prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell. The records include redactions performed by prosecutors on the case to protect the identities of potential victims. Also published is Epstein's so-called "black book" that has previously been made public.

The heavily redacted files proved disappointing. A GOP Judiciary Committee “rickroll” during the anticipation of the release didn’t make people feel any better.
