Judge blocks release of Epstein files
So lessee here,,,,
The Epstein files did exist because Schumer and Pelosi and Durbin all worked very hard to block their release.
Trump promised to release them.
The files are used as evidence (part of it) to convict Maxwell
Bondi said “They are on My Desk”
Kash Patel said they “Needed to be reviewed to make sure that no victims names would be released”
Then, when push came to shove they weren’t “on her desk”….
Then Trump said “What files?”
Then they promise to release what they have…” Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval,”
Now, after trying to release something, (Notice that both Florida and New York denied the request for the testimony in their trials) a Clinton appointed judge say they can’t be released: A federal judge denied his administration’s attempts to release grand jury testimony from the Jeffrey Epstein case….U.S. District Judge Richard Berman deemed Trump’s Justice Department did not provide adequate reasoning to unseal the highly-protected materials
Why is this “Highly Protected Materials”? Why does court records and testimony in a federal or state court hidden from the public? Is there top secret material that would compromise the safety and security of the country in that testimony? This is about a criminal trial fer chrissake.
And we all know that Epstein didn’t kill himself in jail either.
Epstein from Welcome Back Kotter?
More and more interesting…
The decision makes for an interesting read. Seems like the judge essentially agrees with you about Bondi/Patel/Trump’s mysteriously vanishing stack of files.
To wit, “Desired material refers also to the Government’s substantial investigative trove concerning the Epstein case (and presumably the Maxwell vase as well). The government has, so far, withheld these materials from the public”
“The information contained in the Epstein grant jury transcripts pales in comparison to the Epstein investigation information and materials in the hands of the Department of Justice.”
Basically boils down to the judge saying that grand jury transcripts are only unsealed when the info is both desperately necessary and unobtainable through other means. And Bondi has made it clear that far more lies in the exec branch’s hands. Your move, Mr. President…
