“The justice department’s document dump this afternoon does not comply with Thomas Massie and my Epstein Transparency Act,” Ro Khanna, the California Democratic congressman who co-wrote the law requiring full disclosure of all of the government’s investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein by Friday, said in a video statement posted on social media.

By way of example, Khanna noted: “They released one document from a New York grand jury of a 119 pages totally blacked out! This despite a New York judge ordering them to release that document, and our law requires them to explain redactions. There’s not a single explanation for why that entire document was redacted.”

“We have not seen the draft indictment,” Khanna added, “that implicates other rich and powerful men who were on Epstein’s rape island, who either watched the abuse of young girls or participated in the abuse of young girls.”

“It is an incomplete release, with too many redactions. Thomas Massie and I are exploring all options,” Khanna said, including the impeachment of justice department officials, finding them in contempt of Congress, “or referring for prosecution those who are obstructing justice.”

Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican congressman who co-wrote the legislation, shared Khanna’s video statement on social media, with the comment that the document release by Pam Bondi, the attorney general, and Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general who previously served as Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, “grossly fails to comply with both the spirit and the letter of the law” that Trump signed, “just 30 days ago”.

    Supposedly there was about 300Gb of material, compared to about 3Gb released so far, so it’s fair to assume the other 99% is videos of Trump fucking kids unless/until they release the rest to show otherwise.

      FYI: Little ‘b’ means bit. Big ‘B’ means byte, a factor of eight larger. Basically, there’s eight times as much Pedonald.

      Trump, active politicians, wealthy CEOs, connected public figures, and even Israeli spies and handlers.

      Take your pick of Epstein associates that the US govt would opt to protect for reasons other than the public good or national security.

      They needed 1000 FBI agents to redact out all references to Pedo Donny. 1000 agents ! You can BET that they all show Donny 2 Inches being a pedo.

      Why did all these people allow their photos to be taken? Like Clinton and Gates… “sure take my photo with this young woman so we can all remember what a great time we’re having”

        That was part of the deal. Mutual blackmail. It’s been alluded to several times in the Maxwell testimonies.

          This is supposedly where the phrase “thick as thieves” comes from. If thieves were working together, they’d share stories of some of their previous crimes. So the group would all have blackmail on each individual member. The idea was that no individual person would rat, because then everyone they’ve worked with in the past would rat on them.

        Due to a system specifically designed by and for them and their fellow economical and political elites, they consider themselves untouchable by the consequences meant for mere mortals.

        The worst part is that this megalomaniacal assumption is almost invariably proven correct 🤬

      300Gb is only ~38GB. Still, 3GB is only ~7.5% of 300Gb. So we should assume the other ~92.5% is photos and videos of pedonald fucking children.
