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.

    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.
