Lawmakers will be able to review the files on computers at the Justice Department starting Monday, according to a letter obtained by NBC News. They can take notes but can’t have electronic devices.

Members of Congress will be able to begin reviewing the unredacted version of the Justice Department’s files on Jeffrey Epstein on Monday morning, according to two sources familiar with the DOJ’s plans.

The review process will take place in person at the DOJ, according to a letter to members of Congress obtained by NBC News. The members will be able to review the material on computers at the DOJ offices but not the physical documents themselves.

The letter states that members can review the documents in person, provided they give the DOJ 24 hours’ notice. The option at this point is only available to members of Congress — and not their staff. They may take notes but can’t bring in any electronic devices, the letter said.

    No electronic devices? OK, stock up on old 35mm cameras and film. And carbon paper / rubbings or whatever, copy as much as possible using non-electronic means.

    Bring in a big box of silly putty, take transfers of as much as they can.

      This is extremely limited.

      Only the Congress members themselves can go and not their staff.

      Only the 3 million documents that they released and not the full 6 million documents.

      Realistically all they’ll be able to do is pick out a specific redacted document and look at its unredacted version.

        A lot of these items are sandwiched with anonymous tip call docs so there are lots of crazy BS claims interspersed with actual stuff that happened in order to discredit the actual stuff that happened.
