    The Epstein files law requires they release the names. Prosecution can be left to the states.

      The Epstein files law requires they release the names.

      Yep. This is the new left hand of the regime telling Congress, “Fuck you, we’re not going to obey your law.”

      Prosecution can be left to the states.

      Not so much…

      The law requiring release of the Epstein documents is a federal law, so the federal justice system has jurisdiction.

      And each state only has jurisdiction over acts that took place within that state.

        It’s federal, that’s fine then. We’ll just go to the head of the DOJ and have him go and… arrest… the head… of the… DOJ… Right, right… I see the issue here…

          Wait, wait… I think you’re doing it wrong. Lemme try.

          We need the DOJ to prosecute the… DOJ… Because they aren’t following their laws?

          What if we start with a flow chart?

    That’s not how this works.

    This FUCK is just another gatekeeper who needs to be forced out of the way.

    Ideally, we are at a moment for a whistleblower to come forward or leak all the files to torrent sites across the internet so they can be accessed by all.

    If I had access I would leak it all in a heartbeat even if it meant my death.

      There are no journalist left in the room to push questions. The people we hear asking are the weak ass leftovers who capitulated on “gulf of america” and handpicked replacements from fly-by-night rightwing podcasts/blogs.

    Circle of suits. Sue DOJ, but they determine they don’t need to be sued for breaking law.

    Yet another Constitutional crisis. Add it to the pile.

    Well, congress just needs to impeach him is all. I’m sure they’ll do that. They swore an oath.
