But which Justice Department…:
Mike Pence has the courage!...do you want?
"Release all of the files regarding Jeffrey Epstein's investigation and prosecution. ... Anyone who participated or was associated with this despicable man ought to be held up to public scrutiny."

“Anyone who participated or was associated with this despicable man ought to be held up to public scrutiny." Except that’s not what prosecutors do. “Innocent until proven guilty” means we don’t hold people up to public scrutiny just because it satisfies our need to condemn someone. Some of the Epstein files were released under Biden, subject to approval by the court and objection by anyone named in the files.
There can be reasons why these files were not released, are not released, cannot be released. Trump, being an ignorant asshole, wanted to ignore all those reasons.
Frankly, I’m more concerned about “without fear or favor,” than with what’s in the Epstein files; or what isn’t. I’m not objecting to making Trump eat his own conspiracy theories. But we don’t need to cheer Pence and act like MAGA. I certainly don’t want to see the DOJ go that way.
