    DoJ celebrates 2026 temp worker hiring boost :
    - Are you too dumb or not psychopathic enough for ICE ?
    - Can you color within a page frame with a black marker?
    - Can you fabricate or purchase some legal-adjacent credentials online?
    - Can you cut&paste "Not to be construed as pedophilia by Trump" regardless of redactions?

  • bump up.
  • How is it that only 1% of the Epstein files have been released - Pam Bondi too busy sucking up to her master to blacken out the remaining 99% ?

    He belongs in a jail cell for pedophilia, trafficking underage girls and homicide (Epstein did not hang himself). And for the Jan 6th insurrection. Taking bribes, corruption, etc.

    The list goes on and on.

    Perhaps, without our realizing it, corruption has become a key component of the US society culture.

    Corruption has become acceptable to MAGA, at least. The rest of us have to hold the line.

    "The Department of Justice (DOJ) is reviewing over 2 million documents potentially related
    to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s legal cases, according to a Monday court filing.
    The update from Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche,
    come as Democrats and some Republicans hammer the DOJ for missing deadlines
    to release documents under The Epstein Files Transparency Act."

    "'To date, the Department has now posted to the DOJ Epstein Library webpage
    approximately 12,285 documents in response to the Act,
    and there are more than 2 million documents potentially responsive to the Act
    that are in various phases of review,' Bondi and Blanche wrote to Judge Paul Engelmayer
    of the Southern District of New York."

    "'The goal of all these efforts is to facilitate the release of materials under the Act promptly
    and to continue to protect victim privacy to the maximum extent practicable
    as contemplated by the Act and consistent with Department policy and the Court’s Order,'
    the DOJ wrote. 'This work has required and will continue to require
    substantial Department resources,' the letter states, noting that more than 400 lawyers
    within the DOJ will work on reviewing these files in the coming weeks."

    Comments: It might take years to release all the Epstein files at the current rate of work by the DOJ.
    The DOJ was ordered to provide a report within 15 days regarding the redactions
    for released Epstein files — the department has willfully ignored this order.
    The stated goal of protecting victim privacy is a noble one but this is not the DOJ's primary objective.
    They are merely using this as an excuse for delays and their failure to comply with the law.
    What is in these Epstein files that is perceived to be so damaging to Donald J. Trump?
  • Must be pretty big, whatever it is. DOJ 's non-compliance is a sickening reversal of the Rule of Law by the very Office charged to UPHOLD it.

    It seems as though the law of the land is now whatever Donald J. Trump declares it is.
    Although I strongly object to these imperial "guidelines", this is not out of character
    for a convicted felon and serial grifter who has fantasies of ruling the world.
