Trump rather make Jeffrey Epstein about Bill Clinton.

The Department of Justice has failed to released the full Jeffrey Epstein files and deliberately redacted names including President Donald J. Trump. The DOJ did release photos of former president Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, Richard Branson, Emhud Barrack, Michael Jackson, David Copperfield, Chris Tucker and Mick Jagger with Epstein.

Again, having photos of politicians and entertainers with Jeffrey Epstein is not a crime.

What the public wants to know: Did any individuals have sex with underage girls?

Even the footage of his suicide is questionable.

I am not impressed by the document dump. It just shows random pictures and nothing incriminating. It might be somewhat embarrassing to those photographed with the infamous sexual predator but not a crime.

I am not defending sexual predators. I deplore them. I understand that boundaries matter. No means no. Consenting adults having sex whether their married, having an affair, engaging in a relationship of the opposite sex, engaging in a relationship of the same sex, engaging in a relationship with transgender Americans, engaging in a relationship with adult content creators, engaging in a relationship with prostitutes or escorts is not my business.

Having sex with children, having sex with intoxicated people, cohesion of adults into sex, extortion of privacy and procuring are not condoned or supported by me.

Sex is natural and habits of all living beings.

This Epstein dump came on the lawful deadline imposed by the federal court and the law passed in Congress signed by Trump.

Now the delay has House Democrats and several Republicans warning Attorney General Pam Bondi that impeachment could happen if she doesn't comply with the law.

Bondi is literally trying her best to protect Trump from this embarrassment. Trump continues to deny having any ties to Epstein and strongly calls it a "Democrat hoax."

It is why you are now hearing about the Donald J. Trump Kennedy Center for the Arts.

It is why you are hearing about the illegal airstrikes in Syria after two military officials and a civilian were killed by a Syrian security officer. They claim he was associated with the Islamic State. Trump ordered the U.S. Air Force to conduct airstrikes on supposed Islamic State sites. Remember Trump bragged he "destroyed" ISIS and claimed their existence were all because of the reckless actions of former president Barack Obama.

It is why you are hearing about the U.S. Coast Guard, Marines and Navy conducting illegal piracy in international waters. The occupation of Venezuelan oil tankers en route to China, Cuba and Pakistan certainly making the news. The United Nations is hapless in stopping these actions.

Trump was friends with Jeffrey Epstein for over 20 years.

The United States and Israel have voted against decolonialization. They continue to vote against food and water being a necessity. The U.S. continues to vote against resolutions that involve accountability against Israel. 

The U.S. imposed sanctions on UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, International Criminal Court Judges Gocha Lordkipanidze and Erdenebalsuren Damdin for denying Israel's appeals. Four other judges (Solomy Balungi Bossa, Luz del Carmen Ibanez Carranza, Reine Alapini Gansou, Beti Hohler) were sanctioned for investigations into U.S. personnel in Afghanistan and Israeli officials. These sanctions will affect their purchasing of products, denies entry in the U.S. (even on emergency health issues) and reject credit (because the U.S. dollar remains the universal exchange monetary).

At the White House's Hanukkah celebration, Miriam Adelson openly bragged that she could put millions in Trump’s coffers if he runs in 2028. He is prohibited from a third term but he refuses to

These neverending distractions are going to pile up and folks are going to get fed up with the president not staying focused. Hey, at least we got gas prices low for now. So what about those grocery prices, inflation, rising rent, rising interest rates, rising insurance premiums and lackluster holiday shopping season?

It's all Joe Biden's fault, 11 months into Trump’s second term.

The Trump administration stated that the release was intended to provide closure and demonstrate a commitment to government honesty. Unfortunately, most of the pages were kept hidden, and the mass redaction immediately raised eyebrows on social media.

Before the release, sources told CNN that the DOJ had to 'redact thousands of pages of files related to Jeffrey Epstein' for a reason, citing 'sensitivities of executive and legal privacy, victims' protections and other concerns.'

The lawyers reportedly worked on the files from Thanksgiving week until the day of release.

If all roads lead to Bill Clinton, then the highway is built by Donald J. Trump.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on Sunday defended the Justice Department’s decision to release just a fraction of the Jeffrey Epstein files by the congressionally mandated deadline as necessary to protect survivors of sexual abuse by the disgraced financier.

Blanche pledged that the Trump administration eventually would meet its obligation required by law. But he stressed that the department was obligated to act with caution as it goes about making public thousands of documents that can include sensitive information.

Friday’s partial release of the Epstein files has led to a new crush of criticism from Democrats who have accused the Republican administration of trying to hide information.

Blanche called that pushback disingenuous as the Trump’s administration continues to struggle with calls for greater transparency, including from members of his political base, about the government’s investigations into Epstein, who once counted Trump as well as several political leaders and business titans among his peers.

“The reason why we are still reviewing documents and still continuing our process is simply that to protect victims,” Blanche told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “So the same individuals that are out there complaining about the lack of documents that were produced on Friday are the same individuals who apparently don’t want us to protect victims.”

Blanche’s comments were the most extensive by the administration since the file dump, which included photographs, interview transcripts, call logs, court records and other documents. But some of the most consequential records expected about Epstein were nowhere to be found, such as FBI interviews with survivors and internal Justice Department memos examining charging decisions. Those records could help explain how investigators viewed the case and why Epstein was allowed in 2008 to plead guilty to a relatively minor state-level prostitution charge.

Trump, who was friends with Epstein for years before the two had a falling-out, tried for months to keep the records sealed. Though Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, he has argued there is nothing to see in the files and that the public should focus on other issues.

Federal prosecutors in New York brought sex trafficking charges against Epstein in 2019, but he killed himself in jail after his arrest.

Democrat see a cover-up, not an effort to protect victims

But Democratic lawmakers on Sunday hammered Trump and the Justice Department for a partial release.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) argued that the Justice Department is obstructing the implementation of the law mandating the release of the documents not because it wants to protect the Epstein victims.

“It’s all about covering up things that, for whatever reason, Donald Trump doesn’t want to go public, either about himself, other members of his family, friends, Jeffrey Epstein, or just the social, business, cultural network that he was involved in for at least a decade, if not longer,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Impeachment is in the air.

Blanche also defended the department’s decision to remove several files related to the case from its public webpage, including a photograph showing Trump, less than a day after they were posted.

The missing files, which were available Friday but no longer accessible by Saturday, included images of paintings depicting nude women, and one showed a series of photographs along a credenza and in drawers. In that image, inside a drawer among other photos, was a photograph of Trump, alongside Epstein, Melania Trump and Epstein’s longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Blanche said the documents were removed because they also showed victims of Epstein. Blanche said that Trump photo and the other documents will be reposted once redactions are made to protect survivors.

“It has nothing to do with President Trump,” Blanche said. “There are dozens of photos of President Trump already released to the public seeing him with Mr. Epstein.”

The thousands of Epstein-related records posted publicly offer the most detailed look yet at nearly two decades worth of government scrutiny of Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women and underage girls. Yet Friday’s release, replete with redactions, has not dulled the clamor for information given how many records had yet to be released and because some of the materials had already been made public.

Justice Department has just learned the names of more potential victims, Blanche says

Blanche said that the department continues to review the trove of documents and has learned the names of additional potential victims in recent days.

The deputy attorney general also defended the decision by the federal Bureau of Prisons, which Blanche oversees, to transfer Maxwell to a less restrictive, minimum-security federal prison earlier this year soon after he interviewed her about Epstein. Blanche said that the transfer was made because of concerns about her safety.

Maxwell, Epstein’s onetime girlfriend, is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her 2021 conviction for sex trafficking crimes.

“She was suffering numerous and numerous threats against her life,” Blanche said. “So the BOP is not only responsible for putting people in jail and making sure they stay in jail, but also for their safety.”

Meanwhile, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), and Thomas Massie (R-KY), have indicated they could draft articles of impeachment against Attorney General Pam Bondi for what they see as the gross failure of the department to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

That's not Trump. It's an impersonator.

“It’s not about the timeline, it’s about the selective concealment,” Khanna said on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” adding that the redactions in the released files are excessive. He said he believes there will be “bipartisan support in holding her accountable, and a committee of Congress should determine whether these redactions are justified or not.”

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) of New York said on ABC’s “This Week” that there needs “to be a full and complete explanation and then a full and complete investigation as to why the document production has fallen short of what the law clearly required,” but he stopped short of backing impeachment.

Blanche dismissed the impeachment talk.

“Bring it on,” Blanche said. “We are doing everything we’re supposed to be doing to comply with this statute.”
