Let's Talk Turkey About The Epstein Files

96.7% of DUers knew that Bondi/Patel would break the law.
We knew what was released would be highly redacted and incomplete.

Congressional Democrats should have been prepared, maybe they are waiting for midnight when the time expires?

It just gets old. Wish I were in Congress I would repeat over and over again that Krasnov, Bondi, and Patel are protecting pedophiles.

I will wait until tomorrow to see if Democrats unite behind a unified strategy, message.

We are slowly losing the 3rd leg of our democracy, the judiciary.

about the Epstein files was just a pipe dream. The DOJ have had months to scrub any evidence pertaining to Trump. They will never be seen. They can drag it out for years and if all fails the SCOTUS will step in.

should have come out with a fiery response, tonight.

AOC came out with a fiery response but she lost the vote to head the Oversight committee, as did Jasmine Crockett.

What is also repulsive is that Todd Blanche went on national TV and proclaimed that DOJ is breaking the law by not complying with a court order. He gave no reason.

Krasnov controls the executive, the legislative, the military, and the majority of the judicial branch.

Looks to me like we have lost our democracy.

What is the Democratic strategy going forward?

And since his fuckhead KKKultists will still line up to eat his shit straight from the tap, and since the non-fuckhead world already knows what he is, it can be argued that the release of the files won't move the needle anyway.
