I bet you will be when a Democrat is back in office.

It doesn't matter who is in office, that's the entire point.

Politics are a charade for people who believe that these wealthy political actors on either side actually care about the common American. Anyone who has access to the internet should know believing in or even voting for these people makes literally zero difference and never will, because they aren't the ones making decisions.

Well said. Hard to believe more people don't realize this

The other team would be worse!

Less than 1% of the Epstein files have been released. Hmmm. It's almost as though the president is hiding something. He's still a convicted sex pest, btw.

US justice department has released less than 1% of Epstein files, filing reveals

Federal law required majority of documents to be released by 19 December, but only 125,575 pages have been published

The Department of Justice has released less than 1% of the so-called Epstein files, a court filing has revealed, as Democrats step up criticism of the Trump administration's "lawlessness" for keeping records under seal.
The department conceded that only 12,285 documents, totalling 125,575 pages, relating to the disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epsteinhave been published to date, despite a federal law requiring the vast majority to be released by 19 December.

Hiding by providing the court it a 5-page update addressing the courts concerns on victim information.

The math of 1% seems to be based on 12k documents produced and the DOJ saying there may be up to 2 million POTENTIALLY responsive documents.

One of the outcomes of The Saint Massie Act is that is broadened the population of areas, departments, cases, etc that the DOJ must sort through, de-duplicate, review for victim information, impact on ongoing investigations, etc. The DOJ update in the article you linked goes through all this.

Or... Orange Man is a Sex Pest Pedo who is covering up for his billionaire pedo friends. Might as well believe Maduro had a copy of the Moscow hotel pee tape which is why Trump kidnapped him.

The biggest problem isn't they're missing the deadlines, it's what they're redacting.

They're citing the Privacy Act, and pretending it overrides a law we just passed. They also say they don't have to release internal deliberations, but our bill specifically says they must. pic.twitter.com/Y6lqR51n5i

DOJ has now missed their 2nd deadline, no justification for the redactions have been released.

Don't think Massie is the one that gets to decide which law supercedes.

Perhaps he and Ro can go back to bill writing class to handle nuances like this and to put mechanisms for enforcement.

They didn't, so they get what they get.

And this was predicted pages back when he proposed his worthless "Act"… they are going to just toddler around about redactions, did they get all the files, who is going to tell them what it means, then hearings to second guess every DOJ decision regarding Epstein for the past 20 years with each side giving hours of 5 minute speeches to badger witnesses and reclaim their time.

Good luck though. 2 more weeks and for sure they will get him.

🚨 JUST IN:

Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna just told a federal court the DOJ cannot be trusted to release the full Epstein files.

They’re urging a judge to appoint an independent monitor to force disclosure, citing missing documents, improper redactions, and DOJ… pic.twitter.com/rFv6gpylUK

More proof that Massie is actually a closet democrat...

Massie is right on this and the national debt. Hope he makes everyone uncomfortable til they get resolved. Otherwise I'm generally good with where Trump's right is going these days

Between Trump and Massie there is only one person who spent most of their life voting for and publicly supporting Democrats.

Aside from that Im not sure why him asking for this offends you so. All he is seeking is for the DOJ to comply with a law Trump signed.

Today's Republicans are just yesterday's democrats i guess

Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.
