<despite a federal law requiring the vast majority to be released by 19 December.>
The very FACT that they have NOT released the files now is a CLEAR indication that they NEVER intended to release them at all.
Congress needs to get off its withering impotent ass and arrest Bondi (and impeach Trump of course)
Unfortunately, the Grand Old Pedophiles don't have enough of a spine to stand up to the diddler in chief.
because most of them are likely on the files themselves.
Why are writing Trump-style bro? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
It seems to WORK for him. Why NOT me?
Hear that MAGA? Next time you're getting ready to parrot that nonsense about "Promises Made, Promises Kept," remember that two of his CENTRAL promises of his campaign were releasing the Epstein Files, and America First - staying out of other countries business, specifically no regime change, and no nation building. And now we have both, AND they are still hiding the Epstein Files.
We should remind all MAGAs as often as possible.
He got what he wanted, elected and access to power and money (sweet corruption). The MAGA suckers can f off now.
Pam Bondi, the US attorney general, wrote a five-page update to Paul Engelmayer, the federal New York judge overseeing the case, on Monday, asserting that efforts to protect the identities of Epstein’s ~~victims~~ co-conspirators were a priority, and had slowed the process.
ftfy
It would take fucking minutes to auto find each victim name, and censor it, and maybe, MAYBE, a few days for a team of people to review it and manually change what wasn't caught.
If charges don't come out of how this was handled, let alone for sure charging all of the child rapists and anyone that helped them, we need to burn this mother fucker down.
redacting information is a lot harder than that. you often have to redact things that allow people to draw correlations that lead to identity… details like that should be redacted
but this is ridiculous on its own, even without the enormous blunders that prove it’s about protecting co-conspirators rather than victims
I mean I do imagine it would take a bit of time, but they've got entire teams of people who's entire jobs are handling that.
It wouldn't take this long, even if they actually needed to both protect victims and help coconspirators. It's been literal years, and even the mandate from a few months back was an extreme amount of time.
I completely agree with you, but I distinctly remember saying "There's no way Trump comes back from this" five years ago today, and yet here we are. I have very little hope for the system as it is now.
Don't take this personally, your heart is in the right place.
I think you can't see the forest for the trees. There will be no charges. It will not be released. Trump will ratchet up the insanity to the level that's needed to make child sex trafficking irrelevant.
The only option at this point is extreme, active, hot and visible resistance. It's the only thing that will break through. There will be no meaningful midterms. You're in a fight for your life, and if you fail your country will become history's next fascist experiment. Every American has to consider the world after America has subjugated it, causing untold suffering and destruction - will you be okay to live in that country? Will you be able to push the death out of your mind and live a happy life?
They also moved the FBI headquarters, and I suspect they will claim they lost a lot of the files in transit. The more time they let it stew the harder it will be to disprove, so they will keep gaslighting as long as possible until they bring out the excuse.
That 1% contains Trump's name hundreds of times and has credible evidence of him being party to his own child's infanticide
What could even be worse at that point
Actually, the tip doesn't allege that it was Trump's child, it alleges that Trump was present when her uncle killed the baby. It makes no allegation about who the father is, and sadly the list of candidates would be very large in that scenario. He was there near the birth, no claim about who was there for the conception.
I also hate to admit it, but that specific "credible evidence" was a tip submitted via an online form in October 2020. Certainly worth searching for/demanding more to see where, if anywhere, the tip went, but by itself it isn't credible evidence. There's so much more credible bad stuff about Trump that makes this quite believable, but until linked to more substantive stuff, probably best to stick to the more concrete stuff. I suspect there were quite a few crafted attempts at 'October Surprises' during the 2020 race and Epstein was a solid topic well known by the populace to try those sorts of things.
The more interesting thing about that particular piece of evidence is that it's concrete proof of what we already know: that they're censoring Trump's name in the documents.
Hilarious that the elites are shoving AI up everyone's ass and everyone in this admin seems to being doing literally EVERYTHING with AI.
But redacting the Epstein files is ONE task that has to be done manually.
Seriously any day now there's going to be a letter written by Epstein filled with em-dashes that exonerates Trump.
Hey hey! Look over there, Venezuela! Pay attention to that!
Why even make a distraction? They could brazenly come out and say "we're not releasing anymore. What are you going to do about it?"
And Congress will just sit there going 👉👈 and nothing would happen. I truly believe that Congress has lost all power at this point. They are a collection of figureheads that couldn't enforce a parking lot, let alone the laws of a country. They can pass whatever law, or make whatever sanction they want, but there's no one around to actually enforce it anymore. All that power has gone to the Executive branch.
Unreal. Aren't there any patriots willing to release the files and then be murdered?
We need someone suicidal to take one for the team.
Chuck Schumer says "what are they trying to hide?"; meanwhile, he's one of the redacted names. Oh, Chuck, you stinker
So stop whining about it and fucking imprison all of them for contempt and have someone else release it.
"Best I'm willing to do is whine on a platform for Nazis run by my political 'rival'" - Elected representative of the people Chuck Schumer
... as Democrats step up criticism of the Trump administration’s “lawlessness” for keeping records under seal.
Oh good! And here I was wondering if they were going to DO anything at all, but they're on the case! Silly me for doubting the dems.

You know what's "funny"?
MAGA stands together against pedophilia, blaming the left. Their source? Some roll playing teenagers on 4chan. One even did an armed raid on a pizzaria.
Now, loads and loads of evidence stacks up of their dear leader being a pedophile and close friend to the world's biggest pedophilia ring leader (already widely known before first term elections), yet they stand with their pedo criminal dictator.
I believe MAGA made a remarkable achievement, namely a discovery of a new level of hypocrisy, far higher than anyone ever theorized being possible.
97.3% are all about Donny Diddler.
I’m 197.3% innocent! 🫲🍊🫱
This thing is over now, isn't it?
A war has starte the and news media lost interest in the president being a pedophile
Fuck, America is predictable if anything
I don't think it will ever be over. The minute news slows from Venezuela the files are back in the headlines. They have to keep doing things to distract, going to be a wild ride.
"History's most transparent administration"
I mean, they are the most transparently corrupt, so that's close, right?
I feel like it's more important than ever to partition/set-up feeds to only see politics when one wants to.
Absolute madness. The really bad kind.
Failure to comply with legal requirements whether in time or to this even being a substantive release.
