So far, only 12,000 documents containing 125,000 pages have been released in three tranches.
More than 2 million files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are still to be released, according to a court filling Monday night from the Department of Justice which said a team of 400 lawyers was reviewing the documents to ensure “victim privacy.”
The filing also said the department would review its procedures for evaluating the files after victims complained that some information posted should have been redacted.
The DOJ filing confirms reporting from NBC News last week that millions of files were being reviewed before their planned release. So far, only 12,000 documents containing 125,000 pages have been released in three tranches.
All of the files were supposed to be released by now lol. Where the fuck is the urgency in any of this? Does all Trump have to do is attack random nations and kidnap leaders to distract from the fact that he raped children, drowned babies, and allegedly killed some of the children that he raped in the files that have already been released. 12k out of 2 million documents is a tiny fraction, but these crimes are already outlined pretty explicitly in the documents that we already have. According to the law, the DOJ should have released everything by now
It’s Trump’s strategy he learned from Roy Cohn. https://www.npr.org/2024/12/26/g-s1-40039/deny-deflect-delay-jeremy-strong-channels-trumps-mentor-in-the-apprentice.
We see Trump “Deny, deflect, delay” a lot. He’s already tried to deny it. He’s trying to deflect it and he’s also delaying it.
The solution is to leverage the fact that he’s delaying it and keep it in the news cycle as much as possible. Turn his strategy against him and make him as unpopular as possible. The less popular he is the less support he will have if things get even worse and he tries to rig/cancel elections.
