We need to be clear. Trump told Bondi/Blanche to:
- ignore the legal deadline for release of all Epstein materials
- go maximum redact on him, his friends and his allies - not the victims
- pull stuff back that had already been released
Trump is running this thing, ordering folks to break the law.

Last few days has been Trump at his most desperate, venal, and pathetic. High velocity flop sweat is flying across DC, the lying/lawlessness is hitting Olympian levels.

The wide ranging disclosures of documents involving Bill Clinton should put to rest any arguments by the DOJ that they can’t release docs involving people under investigation, since Clinton is one of the figures whom Bondi, kissing up to Trump, ordered be the subject of a new investigation.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
