Clarification: the law is toothless in forcing DOJ to comply. But it does have teeth in overriding, for Epstein cases, the rule that keeps grand jury material secret. I believe, but am not sure, that it was DOJ that sought to release the grand jury material here.
Didn’t a SDNY judge cite the Epstein law in ordering some disclosures this week?

To be clear: that the Epstein law is *legally* toothless doesn’t mean there are no consequences if DOJ doesn’t comply. It’s just that any consequences would be *political*.
This is incorrect. The law imposes no penalties and sets up no enforcement mechanism.
Q: If DOJ doesn't release the files it has by next Friday, is there anything Congress can do to compel that to happen?
MASSIE: It's a crime if they don't. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don't follow it.

A majority of Indiana Senate Republicans stood together to reject Trump’s mob-boss politics.
There is more power in standing up to a corrupt, unpopular administration rather than playing its game.
Law firms, universities, foundations, and media companies should take note.
