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 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?

    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.

    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?

      Trump is just a human loyalty test. Prolonging the Epstein shit lets them make sure that anyone who continues to follow him is utterly and completely on board with this crew’s agenda.

      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’m confused why would they miss a deadline. Is their hard drive copying slow? Or have they not finished altering the files to suit?

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

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