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.

            100% ignorant here(me not you) but was it not that the victims, the ones sex trafficked, names supposed to be the ones protected. So that there would be redactions but only to keep the privacy of those harmed. Not whole pages?

            Oh, I’m not defending it at all! They should’ve been released carte blanch before today, unredacted. I’m honestly surprised we got anything at all given this current admins proclivity to ignoring legal orders.

              nah for sure. i just felt this was important context for everyone to remember. the president isn’t just covering up his pedophile buddies’ actions. the president, by not releasing everything has broken a law that literally says he has to put it out

      It looks that they just released the ones including Bill Clinton and didn’t release those that had trump on them.

    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.

        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.

            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?

    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?

    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.

    These FOOLS need to realize something. If the DOJ continues to neglect their duty, they will create a bunch of hellbent Charlie Bronsons.

    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.

    Trumps chumps cant do anything right. Especially when they can’t alter the files fast enough.
