‘The most important documents are missing,’ says Democratic representative of Epstein files release – as it happened (www.theguardian.com)

“The justice department’s document dump this afternoon does not comply with Thomas Massie and my Epstein Transparency Act,” Ro Khanna, the California Democratic congressman who co-wrote the law requiring full disclosure of all of the government’s investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein by Friday, said in a video statement posted on social media.

By way of example, Khanna noted: “They released one document from a New York grand jury of a 119 pages totally blacked out! This despite a New York judge ordering them to release that document, and our law requires them to explain redactions. There’s not a single explanation for why that entire document was redacted.”

“We have not seen the draft indictment,” Khanna added, “that implicates other rich and powerful men who were on Epstein’s rape island, who either watched the abuse of young girls or participated in the abuse of young girls.”

“It is an incomplete release, with too many redactions. Thomas Massie and I are exploring all options,” Khanna said, including the impeachment of justice department officials, finding them in contempt of Congress, “or referring for prosecution those who are obstructing justice.”

Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican congressman who co-wrote the legislation, shared Khanna’s video statement on social media, with the comment that the document release by Pam Bondi, the attorney general, and Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general who previously served as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, “grossly fails to comply with both the spirit and the letter of the law” that Trump signed, “just 30 days ago”.

Because the pedo protectors have the documents.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Biden had them for 4 years

[–] TaterTot@piefed.social 20 points 1 week ago

Yeah, like they said, the pedo protectors have the documents.

They were sealed by the courts until late 2023, and it should never have been his job to shame his political rivals because Trump should never have been president again in the first place. Everyone already knew Trump was buddy buddy with Epstein.

If Biden had released the files Maga wouldn't have believed him anyways, some of them only realized they were duped when Trump promised to release them then claimed they didn't exist.

This. The Biden vs. Trump thing is irrelevant here.

And we know pretty certainly he wasn't protecting his own ass. We are basically guaranteed that the FBI was instructed to flag any incriminating evidence against Biden.

We also know for certain at this point that Trump is throwing up every possible barrier to seeing his mention.

Biden also has rumours of being a pedo, just nothing even close to the shit Trump has.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago
