    >At least three documents within the Epstein files show that Attorney General Todd Blanche received classified material in the tranche and did not release it—even as Blanche continuously insisted that the Justice Department wasn’t withholding any documents for any reason.
    >Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the DOJ was required to release all files related to the prosecution of sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, except those pertaining to national security. Blanche, however, claimed that “no files are being withheld or redacted on that basis.”
    >“There’s not some tranche of super-secret documents about Jeffrey Epstein that we’re withholding, we’re actually not withholding anything based upon [national defense information],” Blanche said in January.
    >New reporting from CBS News contradicts that, finding that at least three of the documents in the public Epstein files point to Blanche receiving classified information that was never released, even as he claimed none of the material met the national security requirement. While it is still unclear what exactly is in the classified material, the missing documents include files pertaining to Epstein’s finances.
    >“Financial records were not a permissible category for removal,” Barbara McQuade, the former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, said to CBS News.
    >This is yet another example of the Trump administration refusing to be fully transparent and honest about something that the president campaigned on being transparent and honest about.
    >“Trump is named over 38,000 times in the Epstein files, as are other members of his administration and his close associates—with accusations of rape, child rape, assault, trafficking and more,” Campaign for New York Health executive director Melanie D’Arrigo wrote. “It’s not a coincidence that classified documents are missing while he controls them.

    Just as Nixon released the Watergate transcripts redacted. Then was legally forced to re-release such unredated.
    Could these 'classified' documents be the smoking gun in this 21st century Watergate, with the only reason for them being 'claasified' is because the information in such would destroy Trump, perhaps the Republican party as a whole...?

    >>1545547
    It's pretty obvious these files implicate trump.
    The problem is just like the 18 minute tape gap, trump will destroy all those files and then pardon the people who did it.

    All you have to know is that President Trump has built a bunker under the former East wing and is looking at missile defenses for it.

    Watching them try to get him out of the WH in January '29 is gonna be greater than the OJ Bronco chase. His whole presidency has been one massive shitshow.

    There was already a bunker under the East Wing. They're just renovating it so they can say the ballroom is for national security.

    If this evidence is in the Epstein files, why didn't Democrats release it as an October surprise, like they did with the Access Hollywood "Grab em by the Pussy" tape in 2016?

    Because the trump regime is keeping the really damning stuff under wraps and in a way that the democrats can't release it to the public.

    Did Nixon release the Watergate transcripts unredacted first? If there was nothing that would destroy him in those transcripts, he wouldn't have had them redacted in the first place.
    By not releasing the full unredacted Epstein files (only the names of the victims redacted), Trump has already admitted his guilt. Just as Nixon was guilty as hell prior to the 'Smoking Gun' tape that ultimately did for him, even though he was later forced to release those transcripts completely unredacted.

    Nixon never ordered the break in at the Watergate hotel. Nixon was found guilty of nothing. He was impeached for nothing. He resigned.

    Your english needs a lot of work. You don't keep something really under wraps, you keep the really bad stuff under wraps.
    Why have there been no arrests based on the epstien files trump released?

    Quotes go between the quotation marks, the quotation marks don't got between the words you mongoloid retard. You can't even get the most basic details right, you should probably just give up and kill yourself.

    Starting off with the alijizeera article
    >Starting in 2019, but before Epstein’s arrest that year on federal sex trafficking charges, some Democratic lawmakers including Representative Lois Frankel and Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, both of South Florida, launched a years-long quest to release Epstein records.

    >The Democrats called for former US Attorney Alex Acosta, who served as labour secretary during Trump’s first term, to testify about Epstein’s plea deal. They asked the Justice Department to investigate and release records. Democrats later pursued other strategies, including asking a Palm Beach, Florida judge to release records.

    >“A full accounting for these heinous crimes is lacking,” Wasserman Schultz told PolitiFact in an August 1 written statement. “Those prospects changed when Republicans momentarily joined the call for full disclosure.”

    Article starts off strong, talking about how they're on a quest to release the Epstein files, great.
    >In 2019, some Democrats called for a plea deal investigation

    >Acosta signed off in 2007 on Epstein’s secret plea deal in which he agreed to plead guilty to state prostitution charges, serve 18 months in county jail and pay monetary damages to his victims. In exchange, the US attorney’s office agreed to forgo federal prosecution. Epstein entered his guilty plea in 2008.

    >The Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility investigated Acosta’s role and, in November 2020, released a summary that said he showed “poor judgement”.
    >Schultz called on the Justice Department to make public Acosta’s role in the plea deal.

    >Frankel submitted a list of questions for Acosta, including whether any politicians lobbied prosecutors on Epstein’s behalf.

    >Senator Tim Kaine and Senator Patty Murray joined the effort, sending a separate letter to the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility asking to make its records public.
    The article is then a bunch of stuff about Acosta not Epstein
    >>
    >On the day Acosta resigned, Khanna said Acosta should testify before the House oversight committee, and later that month Senator Chuck Schumer was among the Democrats who called on the Justice Department to make public the results of its review of Acosta’s handling of the Epstein case.

    >Also in July, the congressional Democratic Women’s Caucus requested that the House Oversight and Reform Committee open an investigation into how the Palm Beach, Florida Sheriff’s Office handled the Epstein investigation.
    I see a lot of stuff about Acosta being investigated, not so much stuff about releasing the Epstein files. Control F searching "Acosta" shows this is the last time he is mentioned. So after he resigns there is no longer any interest in investigating him or the plea deal he had. After he resigns he is dead to them and doesn't matter.
    >When Maxwell was charged in 2020, Democrats continued to push for transparency.

    >Frankel told PolitiFact in an August 1 interview that the House oversight committee wanted to hold a hearing at which they would hear from Epstein victims, their lawyers and prosecutors. They wanted to subpoena the prosecutors to ask them under oath “why they gave this guy a slap on the wrist, who pressured them?” Frankel said.

    >However, “We were told by the Justice Department to cut it off” because it could compromise the Maxwell investigation, Frankel told PolitiFact.

    >After Biden took office in 2021, Democrats appeared to dial back their public calls for Epstein records’ release.

    >“Pushes for oversight and record releases were at times tempered by a need to respect both the victims’ pursuit of justice in courts and their fears of reprisals,” Wasserman Schultz told PolitiFact. “As disclosures were denied or delayed, we did what lawmakers do and legislated to protect future victims.”

    >In February 2024, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican, signed a bill to allow the release of Epstein 2006
    And then the article skips from 2021 to 2024?
    >>
    The substance of that article is a lot of Democrats called for Alex Acosta to be investigated. Acosta resigned, they stopped caring. They said they were going to do a big hearing August 1st 2020 where they would hear from Epstein victims, their lawyers and prosecutors. They were told it could compromise the Maxwell investigation. her federal trial in New York ran from November 29 to December 29, 2021. A jury found her guilty on December 29, 2021, on five of six counts, including sex trafficking of a minor and conspiracy. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison on June 28, 2022. Why that hearing didn't take place in Autumn of 2022, 2023, or 2024 remains unanswered. They just skip forward in time to 2024 and Ron Desantis releasing the 2006 grand jury testimony after a similar effort failed in previous state legislative sessions. And Frankel praised the legislation.
