The Department of Justice will not be releasing all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by Friday’s deadline, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Friday morning.
In an interview with Fox News, Blanche said the department would “release several hundred thousand documents today.”
But he acknowledged Friday’s release would not encompass all of the DOJ’s documents for the investigation into the late financier.
I’m confused why would they miss a deadline. Is their hard drive copying slow? Or have they not finished altering the files to suit?
Stop calling Epstein a “late financier”. They were a “child sex trafficker”.
Pedopeddler
They can do that? Why the fuck can they just ignore their own deadlines???
Because no one will hold them accountable.
I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise
Why are we still calling Epstein a financier?
Fuck this administration.
Who’s gonna hold them accountable? Democrats? SCROTUS?
Hopefully You, The People
If they aren’t made to follow the rules, then they don’t need to follow the rules, and then the rules are optional, enforced only when it empowers them.
Anyone who was thinking Trump wasn’t just going to shred or redact anything that implicated him was dreaming.
It’s a little weird that they’d delay…so much. I don’t understand and can’t sufficiently explain why they’re doing it. My best guess is they want to start a war before they release some of the stuff that makes him look bad by proxy. I guess maybe some of the people he’s throwing under the bus need a heads up?
Why the fuck are they allowed to redact incriminating evidence??
They explicitly aren’t. They’re gonna get sued
potentially just wanted to be president so he could be in charge of these docs
Trying to just not quite release the files, playing along with “wanting to release the files” combined with a smattering of the content they hope to be enough to mollify most people.
A pretend “good faith effort” to stall until people stop paying attention. Presumably something in the news cycle at some point will cause people to stop caring about some ‘inconsequential’ content beyond what they released.
I know it’s a big word and people hesitate to use it, but it’s not debatable anymore.
These are traitors.
Traitors are operating our federal government.
And they aren’t just going to leave when asked politely.
So when are you gonna go do something about it? Are you a gun guy or a poison guy?
In case you aren’t just trolling…
The conservatives WANT violence from their opposition. They will use it to further destabilize the country allowing them to gain more actual power.
Sometimes violence is the answer. And there are plenty available if it gets too that. But despite where we are, playing their game the way they want us to isn’t the solution. Violence isn’t the answer… yet.
And hopefully we never get to that point.
The original poster was advocating violence:
And they aren’t just going to leave when asked politely.
I was simply asking what type of violence they personally were going to use, since they were advocating for it
You’re like those people who say you can’t criticize movies unless you’re a director
Not really
Not even if you stretch what I said pretty far in different directions
I asked what they’re gonna do about it. If the answer is post on the least popular social media platform in existence and that’s it, I will think less of them. But that has nothing to do with being a director.
post on the least popular social media platform in existence
So I should post on Reddit where there are so many comments mine gets hidden in the pile and no one sees it?
I have over 80 upvotes on my comment. That means at least that many people saw it. People see comments they agree with, then they talk about those subjects elsewhere online and IRL. The sentiment spreads. If it spreads enough then words slowly turn into actions.
You coming on “the least popular social media in existence” and trying to speak down to people communicating to each other is unproductive and, frankly, stupid.
And believe me, you are in no position to think less of anyone.
How about you get off our least popular social media platform in existence, leave us alone, and go and do something about the traitors yourself if you think it’s hypocrisy not to?
Why would it be hypocrisy for me not to be doing anything?
So when are you gonna go do something about it? Are you a gun guy or a poison guy?
This appears to be a claim that voicing opposition without taking action is hypocrisy.
And nothing will happen.
That’s not true. Schmuck Schumer might issue a stern letter.
Not too stern. Don’t wanna hurt anyone’s feelings.
It’s important to remain polite at all times. We wouldn’t want to offend traitors/ kleptocrats/ racists/ pedophiles/ psychopaths.
booo
These FOOLS need to realize something. If the DOJ continues to neglect their duty, they will create a bunch of hellbent Charlie Bronsons.
What the fuck is even the point of having a deadline when there are zero consequences when they blow past it?
✨ create consequences ✨
While the republican controlled congress might not care if dems ever retake both chambers it will be added to the list of crimes for impeachment.
Lots of ifs, but in a sane world this would have been enough at one time
Not unless the Democrats flush half their own leadership because NONE of the DNC leaders have any interest in actually doing anything about Trump.
Biden: I’m totally serious citizens, Trump is bad news, and will literally take the constitution, as in the one in the National Archives with Franklin’s preserved chocolate fingerprint in the upper left corner–and he will ejaculate on it (which is slightly green for some fucking reason) and then set it on fire. Don’t elect that dude for real guys.
Garland: Hey boss, Donny said he’s on vacation with Ivanka and thirteen 13 year-olds, so he’ll totally send thise docs over next week. Or something. I told that hound dog it was all good in the hood. So I’m gonna punch out early, kay?
Biden:
Garland: Boss?
They did impeach him last time and I believe all the senate dems voted to remove him from office. Still shy of the 2/3rds majority
So if anything it’s the Republicans not doing anything.
But you are right, the resistance to Trump has been ineffective and they keep rubber stamping his appointments. So my hopes are low, but we can only know if they get a majority.
It was performative. The only reason they voted that way is because they knew they wouldn’t have the votes to make any change. If they did they would’ve stalled or pulled some bullshit about moral upstanding
I despise “both sides” bullshit, but they were definitely correct in this case.
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have completely abdicated their responsibility as the main check on the Executive branch. They need to go.
What’s the point of impeachment? Wasn’t trump already impeached a couple of times in the first term? He didn’t get kicked out or banned from running again
Impeachment is necessary to kick him out. That’s the point. Yes it takes votes, but you have to Impeach first then the Senate can vote to remove.
Being impeached has no effect on eligibility to run again.
That’s the legal framework
Ahh ok, so it’s like the first step. How come last time there wasn’t the second step? Also on a related question, if he’d been kicked out last time would he have been able to run again this time?
Ahh ok, so it’s like the first step. How come last time there wasn’t the second step?
There was a second step. It just failed. To “introduce articles of impeachment” requires a simple majority in the house. Then to formally remove the president during the impeachment proccess requires a 2/3rds vote in the senate.
That second step did occur, but didn’t have enough votes to pass. The democrats did not have a 2/3rds majority in the senate and Republicans weren’t willing to impeach their own president
Also on a related question, if he’d been kicked out last time would he have been able to run again this time?
Yes he would have
Thanks. Always nice to learn about different country’s political systems.
It’s not necessary to kick him out. 25th amendment
That has nothing to do with congress and is not something people can effect with their vote.
Honestly it’s even more of a longshot than a successful impeachment.
You are right on the law though and technically correct.
Lol right. Let me start holding my breath now…
The delay means the White House is in apparent conflict with a law
That’s the thing. “Apparent” is actually too strong of a word here, because they aren’t in conflict with the law at all. Unenforced laws are meaningless laws.
The DOJ is now led by people who are 100% all-in on the orangeboi cult, so there’s going to be 0 consequences whatsoever
Is it time yet?
I think it is.
Ah… guillotine-Chan… we need your powers more than ever…
