To try to divert his angry cult from demanding the release of the entire file on his old friend, pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the Malignant Fascist has directed his corrupt AG Pam "Blondie" Bondi to seek the grand jury records from Epstein's trial. Many of his gullible cult welcomed the news, thinking that their Dear Leader was coming clean. But, as Politico.com points out, the grand jury record won't reveal what the MF's cult is eager for, and may take months of judicial wrangling to release:
"President Donald Trump’s call to make public a subset of grand jury records stemming from the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein falls far short of the total release of documents his supporters have demanded.
And unlike records assembled by the Justice Department and FBI, grand jury records cannot be released without the permission of the federal court responsible for overseeing the criminal case. As a result, Trump’s demand leaves the potential disclosure of new information murky, at best, and subject to a byzantine legal analysis that could take months. [snip]
....already the Justice Department is teeing itself up to redact large swaths of information from the files. DOJ top brass told the courts it would 'make appropriate redactions of victim-related information and other personal identifying information prior to releasing the transcripts.' Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who submitted the requests, did not specify what 'other' information the department would seek to shield.
As a result, even if Trump and Bondi succeed, it’s unclear whether the documents and transcripts will provide any new insight beyond what is already known about the case. That’s unlikely to satisfy the swell of MAGA supporters who in recent days have pressured the pair to release investigation records." (our emphasis)
In their thorough article, Erica Orden and Kyle Cheney explain that the grand jury records will contain the affidavits of one or more law enforcement officials summarizing the charges and probable cause, and not the underlying documents, tapes, etc., which would be brought out at trial. Of course, the MF's goal is to stall the process of obtaining what will be unsatisfying information for his rabid base, so that they'd tire of the chase. But this is a festering sore for his cult, and his game playing will backfire badly, the sooner the better.

🤨 Without a doubt, this case/conspiracy theory is so tainted we will always have trouble finding truth. I really wish that the loudmouth cranks cared about stopping the sexual predation of children, but that is not their goal.
ReplyDeleteNow, the cranks are calling for a Special Counsel to investigate and this must be the movie sequel "Idiocracy 2" because the requests are more obfuscation!
Rep. Boebert nominated Matt Gaetz for Special Counsel, but was smirking when she said it. Rep. Luna was dead serious about an SC, but she has no real clue what that means. I wish I could laugh at Steve Bannon's demand for a Special Counsel, but his is just more flooding of the zone. His demand includes the SC reporting findings directly to Trump!! 😱🤣 See what I mean? It would be funny if it weren't so infuriating! You don't deliver the hens directly to the fox!! 💩🤬
Cleora --hopefully this has gone beyond the point where most sentient people (even a good percentage of MAGAts) will believe the results of an investigation run by anyone associated with the assministration or Republican party...
