The Justice Department said in a Jan. 27 court filing that it expects to complete processing millions of files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein "in the near term," but did not provide a timeline to release the information to the public as required by law.
More than a month has passed since the deadline set by Congress for the Department of Justice to publish all its Epstein files and upwards of millions of documents and photographs have not been released.
In the filing, DOJ said it has made "substantial progress" in identifying documents and redacting victim-identifying information from emails, text messages and video and audio recordings.
"Hundreds of Department employees are working diligently to complete this review as expeditiously as possible without compromising victims privacy so that its production can be complete," the filing states.

Judges and some Dems need to realize and fully understand the lawlessness of what they are up against.
There are no "norms'; no traditions, custom, good faith presumption, under this regime.
