Trump says “Release the Epstein Files!”

[Delldude]

That won't work.

Congressmen know what's in there in un-redacted form and if DOJ will try to inappropriately withhold something counter to what Congress said should be released, then Pam will be in front of that Congress explaining herself in very short order.

DOJ is required to release unredacted files to the public....not Congress. Congress doesn't have their own complete set.

The Justice Department "may withhold or redact" the identities and "personal and medical files," of Epstein's victims, the bill states.
__________
The DOJ can also withhold material that "would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy" or "depicts or contains child sexual abuse," according to the bill.

However, the bill does contain language that stipulates, "no record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary"
_____________

Epstein files bill includes exceptions that could affect what gets released and when

Although Congress overwhelmingly passed a bill compelling the Justice Department to release all of its files on the Jeffrey Epstein probe, there are exceptions.

In all the years I've seen government officials being grilled by Congress and caught in one lie after the other, I've not once seen anyone arrested or forced to follow legal standards. Jim Jordan and many other have been fire brands but when the questions end, they all head to the same club and rub elbows as if nothing happened. So even if Bondi (the perfect Stepford Wife) is called to answer before Congress ... it'll fizzle away and be forgotten about.

Thw problem is trump himself.
He is a fascist authotitarian crook who is likely the star of the files. Its unlikely he would release anything that would incriminate himself.
He fought tooth and nail to avoid this situation so there is the proof you need.
He has surrounded himself with ill qualified sycophants just for this. This is the moment they were appointed for. To cover up trump crimes.
Trump is a low qquality grifter with a long record of theft and is a byword for dishonesty.
He will withhold some records and delete others. He will treat it as a political exercise rather than a search for truth.
The survivors deserve better and the paedos live to perv another day.

When will the Epstein files be released?

US President Donald Trump signed a bill into law last month that set a 19 December deadline, but questions remain.

Meanwhile, Democrats are rueing the day they demanded the release of the Epstein file.

Meaning they can't simply choose to not release something just because they don't want to, they can only not-release in accordance with the specific criterial law lays out.

No you didn't you don't know what you are talking about.

DOJ is required to give all documents to Congressional Oversight Committee. Without any exception. This is a check on them if they descide to f around and not publicly release something they are required to.

The oversight committees in house and senate can subpoena all evidence and get it as unredacted evidence....

This is what I've read. Now, they may need to keep it solely within their committees and not release it publicly....but read, under law, they can get it.....

Bulllshit, oversight of what will be not-released is very much needed.

Trump's admin breaks laws all the time for Dear Leader.

Not according to the bill.

Then they leak info on any non-dems, penalty free.

Not one DEM Stain can be trusted ever, not one. Disgustingly lack any decency whatsoever. Note, many R are D-lite.

Let this sink into your mostly vacant head.
