Trump, Sept. 20, in reference to Erik Siebert, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia: “He didn’t quit, I fired him!”
Trump’s deputy AG, three months later: Siebert wasn’t fired, he quit.

WELKER: Is the DOJ taking directions about who to prosecute from President Trump?
BLANCHE: No. Of course we're not. And also, Mr. Siebert wasn't fired because he refused to bring cases. He resigned.

In fact the Act prohibits them from redacting anything on the basis that it may cause reputational harm or embarrassment to a government official.
There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

Earlier this year the people at 60 Minutes urged me to overcome fear and speak on camera about what it's like being a lawyer being targeted by Trump. When I did, they lavished me with praise -- noting I was the only person willing to do it.

First, it is not what Congress "asked for." It is what a federal statute REQUIRES.
Second, WTF does "spirit but not intent" even mean?
CBS bent a knee and paid Trump, it has a new owner who wants to please Trump, and sadly this is the result.
