In a stunning undercover investigation that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, the O’Keefe Media Group has obtained video evidence of a high-ranking Department of Justice official admitting to a politically motivated cover-up of the highest order. The official, Joseph Schnitt, who serves as the DOJ’s Acting Deputy Chief at the Office of Enforcement Operations, was caught on camera revealing a deliberate plan to protect one political class while vilifying another in the long-awaited release of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Schnitt explicitly stated that the Department of Justice will engage in a blatant act of partisan manipulation, telling an OMG journalist, “They’ll [DOJ] redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those files, and have a very slanted version of it come out… without really seeing any of their bad behavior.” This admission confirms the worst fears of millions of Americans who suspected the deep state apparatus would work overtime to shield its own from scrutiny.
This calculated strategy ensures that the public will receive a heavily edited and dishonest narrative, a tactic long employed by the entrenched Washington establishment. Schnitt further elaborated on the sheer volume of material, noting, “There’s thousands and thousands of page-open files. If they’re released in any way, it’s going to be very redacted.” This proves that the recent document dump by the House Oversight Committee, which revealed little new information, was merely a theatrical performance designed to give the illusion of transparency while concealing the truth.
The corruption extends beyond mere redactions. Schnitt also revealed that convicted sex offender and Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell is receiving special treatment, likely as a reward for her silence. “She got transferred to a minimum security prison,” Schnitt said, despite her conviction as a sex offender. “It’s against BOP policy because she’s a convicted sex offender. And they’re not supposed to get minimum security prisons, which is an interesting detail because she’s getting a benefit, which means they’re offering her something to keep her mouth shut.”
Furthermore, the undercover video exposes the intense internal conflict within America’s top law enforcement agencies. According to Schnitt, there is a fierce battle between officials loyal to the America-First agenda of President Donald Trump and those resisting it. “The head of FBI [Kash Patel] really wants to… second-in-command [Dan Bongino] at FBI has been causing problems, because he’s like, ‘No, these [Epstein Files] have to be released.’ He added, “The FBI wants them out. The top two guys that will do it. But they work for Bondi, so… Bondi wants whatever Trump wants. Internally there’s a lot of conflict.”
This internal struggle highlights the monumental effort by President Trump and his appointed officials to drain the swamp and deliver justice, even as they face relentless opposition from the permanent bureaucracy. Despite the DOJ’s public assurances of transparency, Schnitt’s confession reveals the ugly truth: “Whatever they’ve released has already been publicly released anyway, so they haven’t released anything new. Even though they were the ones that were claiming that they were going to release everything.”

The liberal media, which functions as a public relations firm for the Democrat Party, will undoubtedly ignore or downplay this bombshell story. Their silence on this blatant corruption is a testament to their complicity in the cover-up, always choosing to protect their political allies rather than pursue the unvarnished truth for the American people.
