To be clear, the FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime over a FIVE DAY PERIOD last March. And yes, part of it was to find and redact Trump's name. I spoke to sources who reviewed the files for the FBI and DOJ and wrote about it here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

To this point: All of my news reporting, any big features work, etc, is free. I think it’s important that my work is accessible to people, regardless of whether they can pay. 💖
I'm broke as fuck, but if you can swing a paid sub, I'd appreciate it because just the free stuff is some of the best reporting I've found on what's actually going on in law world...which, no matter where you are on the "gov't should exist at all" spectrum, is really really good info to have
Seriously, subscribe to Law Dork. I can't do everything the big publications can do, but at least I'll never do this.

(And, this weekend, you can get a paid subscription for 15% off for a year: $51 for the year or $5.10 a month!) www.lawdork.com/blackfriday
