By law, we had to make certain redactions.… But we said to Congress, any congressman can come in and spend as much time as they want looking at everything unredacted.
Welp, its not like by not releasing the files would be breaking any laws… that matter.
We already know Trump rapes kids, murders infants, and was heavily involved in human trafficking. If what we know isn’t enough to take him out, he’ll never be held to account.
Blatantly saying he’s going to violate the law.
Well then he gets held in contempt
Contempt of Congress? This Congress?
Ha! Good one.
I’d rather contempt of angry mob
I mean he fired his personal lawyer in florida, for another one of his personal lawyers to act as AG. The epstien victims will never get justice from republican’s, they HATE being held accountable for their actions. When they do get caught, they get angry and violent.
Which is obviously the reason he got the job
If we didn’t release it, it’s because it was not responsive to the law, and therefore not part of the Epstein files.… By law, we had to make certain redactions.…
What is he actually talking about? Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act that Trump signed into law. Some of the details:
- Mandated Release: Requires the DOJ to release, in a searchable format, all documents, flight logs, and investigative materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, if needed, declassifying them to the extent possible.
- Prohibited Redactions: No redactions, except a very narrow list of allowable reasons, and they have to justify each one with a separate report to Congress within 15 days.
- Prohibited Withholdings: No withholdings, except a very narrow list of allowable reasons, and they have to justify each one with a separate report to Congress within 15 days.
- Congressional Oversight: The DOJ must report to Congress with a list of all government officials and politically exposed persons named in the documents, without redaction of their names.
- No Personal Secrecy: The law explicitly prohibits withholding records due to embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity.
NAL, but my understanding is they just… didn’t follow it. Right!? I expected it to be long, but it’s about 2 pages, and is refreshingly direct and no-nonsense. Here’s the full law:

I know The Files are a salacious issue many of us are morbidly curious about… But there are very real victims being denied justice here as they simply choose not to comply.
They’ve been ignoring the constitution for decades, why would they respect acts of congress?
In the 1970s, reps were arrested by the FBI for taking bribes (Abscam).
2010s on, subpoenas are now just flat-out ignored
The major point you’re missing is that the regime does not fucking care and nobody is going to hold them accountable, ever.
Arrest him
Kill him.
Slowly
waluigi.
Wa = Warehouse
Luigi = Health Insurance guy.
Waluigi = Health Insurance guy, but with a warehouse.
Shoot him and the rest of this dumbass administration.
I’m inches away from saying just execute all conservative politicians period.
Arrest or just, like, whatever.
He’d grind up into a nice paste.
And that seems like a clear cut cause for impeachment. If the Democrats gain control of the House a solid strategy would be to start impeachment proceedings against lower level appointees before going after Trump
Yeah, that a good plan.
I’m not so keen on replacing Trump with Vance/Theil. Trump can be better for us going into 2028, as long as we can keep him under control, and that will require getting rid of the sycophant loyalists, and making him pick a new crew, who won’t get appointed unless he chooses people who will reign him in.
If we get rid of him, we give Vance 2 years to normalize MAGA, and make them viable for 2028. I’d rather have 2 more years of suppressed Trump chaos, to amp up the outrage going into Election Day 2028 - as long as we can keep him under control. Running his mouth can’t hurt much, and it gives us lots of ammo to humiliate him with.
He is “acting AG”. Not even confirmed yet. The purpose of impeachment is to take an appointee from “confirmed” to “non-confirmed” status. I am not even sure impeachment would make sense? Couldn’t Trump join make him acting AG immediately again?
Then they can skip impeachment and go straight to imprisonment.
No, that’s not correct. “Impeachment is a process by which a legislative body or other legally constituted tribunal initiates charges against a public official for misconduct.”

From your own article:
In Great Britain conviction on an impeachment has resulted in fine and imprisonment and even in execution, whereas in the United States the penalties extend no further than removal and disqualification from office.
So removal only. Which might even nor make sense, because he was never confirmed by the Senate. Trump can just immediately appoint him again.
“…and disqualification from office.”
What? “Has resulted”. That’s a possible historical result. Impeachment is a process.
He’s the AG. This was a trick they pulled in the first term. You make a guy the “acting” head of the agency, and he does the job until the new guy gets appointed, and approved by the Senate.
So what happens if you name an “acting” head, and then never choose a final appointee? Nothing. Nothing happens. Your chosen guy remains the head of the agency, without ever being vetted or approved by the Senate.
Todd Flintstone is the new AG, for all ill tents and porpoises.
Ah I believe you mean intensive porpoises
We need a Truth and Reconciliation Committee
In this case, too, all those responsible will get off scot-free. This case demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that the U.S. legal system is so corrupt that it not only fails to serve its purpose but, on the contrary, is systematically exploited to enable the most serious crimes in the first place.
The Epstein case is just one particularly repugnant example of this, as the regime’s blatant enrichment through corruption and its countless crimes also make abundantly clear.
Nothing will change in this regard until U.S. citizens rise up and demand justice.
He’s also in the Epstein files
Clearly. Why else would he take this position?
I first saw these comments here
Just before Trump started bombing Iran, there were reports of an Epstein Victim who had been interviewed by the FBI four times, during Trump’s first term. After each interview, they would confirm more and more of her story, so they’d come back and get more info. Her testimony was accompanied by 10 photos.
She is one of the best documented victims, and her testimony could put people away for life. I had been hearing about her for weeks, but it seemed like I was seeing more and more reports about it, and it was about to break into the mainstream media…when Trump started bombing Iran, and Epstein slipped off the front page.
I saw a description of ONE of those photos, and it described her as a young teen, naked, semi-conscious, surrounded by several men, one doing something between her legs with an object. Blood was said to be in the scene. The victim testified that she thought she was going to die that night. That was only ONE of the photos.
Of course, those photos will never see the light of day because they are not just child sex images, they are violent, as well. They are easily the best evidence against those monsters, but it’s also evidence that literally nobody can ever see, so their power is badly blunted.
It is important that verified descriptions of the these photos and videos be released, so we can truly understand what these psycho-pervoids were doing to these girls, and make MAGA losers understand that Epstein’s parties weren’t just naked teens carrying trays of drinks through parties of Sociopathic Oligarchs.
“This is the first I’m hearing of it.”
“Never even met the guy, barely knew him.”
- Trump probably
Wild how you can straight up not do your job and collect a paycheck if you work in the gov these days.
He’s doing the job he was assigned to do. When it’s not working, it’s working.
Okay, so he’s in contempt of the law.
And? That’s meaningless unless it’s enforced.
Time to make “citizens arrests” a thing again.
Its always “I’m waiting” and never “I am heading to DC right now, see you there”
Correct.
