    Is this even in the news anymore? The DOJ is violating the law by not releasing the files, and it’s way down the list compared to all the other crazy things going on.

    I'm not partaking in the Epstein File conspiracy… maybe all of this would've happened anyway, but the timing does look suspicious, especially with the POTUS waging 'wars' on multiple fronts that draw attention away from the Epstein File.

    Trump's plan is working.

    Look at the silly monkey killing soccer moms in Minnesota.

    Important people are saying Trump is telling ICE to kill citizens to distract the public from the Epstein files.

    Yeah, can't do anything to the guy for making a political statement when Ford allowed an unpopular president to use their facilities for political reasons.

    Convicted Felon Donald Trump breaks more laws.


    Legal expert rips DOJ's Epstein files delay: 'The law is not so optional'

    As the Department of Justice continues to blow past its deadline to disclose all of its files related to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, CNN legal analyst Elie Honig stressed that the department's handling of the disclosure is firmly in violation of Congress, and that "the law is not so optional.

    Following months of pressure from victims and advocates, and in the face of pushback from Donald Trump, the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed in November, 428-1 in the House, and by unanimous consent in the Senate. The bill called for the DOJ to release all of its files on the investigation into the deceased sex offender by Dec. 19, but as of Friday, it has released only about 1 percent of them, and many with heavy redactions. The department has since claimed to have uncovered millions more documents and has given no timeline for when they will all be released.

    During a Friday appearance on CNN, Honig, a former assistant US attorney, explained that there is no possible interpretation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act that could allow for the way the DOJ has slow-walked the disclosure process.

    "The law was not so optional, not so forgiving," Honig said. "So this was a law, let's remember, passed 427-to-1 in the House, unanimously in the Senate, and then signed by President Trump on Nov. 19. The law said that DOJ 'shall,' not 'may,' 'shall produce all documents,' not 'some,' not just get started within 30 days. That 30-day point hit on Dec. 1. We did get tens of thousands of documents on Dec. 19, but apparently that was a minuscule fraction of the total amount. Even now, as you said, it's not even clear."

    He continued: "DOJ knows how far they are into their production. They're giving us these very low single-digit percentage numbers. And so you can understand why these victims are frustrated... Here we are a month out, and DOJ has at most given us a [small] percentage of the total amount. When the law said they had to give it to us all about a month ago."

    If my company invited a VIP to come, like the President of the United States, and then I embarrassed him with some very public heckling, I'd be fired for sure. That dude is lucky he is a union worker.

    Not true. It is pretty forgiving. Are there penalties for noncompliance written into the law? No. How are you going to enforce it? DOJ won't prosecute itself. So, you have to bring a contempt of congress charge. And then the Republican leadership will try to block it and half the members will vote against it. No consequences will come. This is not an administration where "shall" matters. The only thing that matters is "what are you going to do about it?" It will be the end of the Trump term before we get a full release that complies with the "minimum redaction" standard, if indeed we ever get it.

    your company is a joke then…that worker should be applauded for standing up to someone spearheading the destruction of this country

    Or is everyone supposed to sit in silence when in his presence like he’s deserving of any respect whatsoever?

    when Joe Biden got confronted by some auto worker when touring a plant back in like 2020, I didn’t see talk of him getting fired or him being lucky he’s in a union
