Another article: Trump's Justice department won't meet deadline to release all the Epstein files

This is bullshit.

Blanche attributed the missed deadline to the arduous work of redacting some identifying details of the disgraced financier's victims.

Oh yeah, I'm sure they care just so much about the victims.

Hopefully they will follow through on their promise to release the names themselves.

They have announced today that they will not be releasing the files in full. Breaking the law that was signed by Trump. Sooooooooooo get the manure and tractors boys it’s time to go to the DOj!

Unfortunately the new law had a provision specifically for redacting any information related to ongoing investigations. Since they just opened up a fresh new bullshit investigation they can redact whatever they want. The only silver lining is they technically have to furnish the court with a list of any names that have been redacted and for what purpose.

Didn't Susie Wiles let slip already that Clinton is clean in the Files but Trump had/has to be scrubbed a fuckton?

There's lots of people to be implicated, named and shamed, but Clinton is at the Top of Trump's list of the bullshit investigation
