The Department of Justice will not be releasing all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by Friday’s deadline, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Friday morning.

In an interview with Fox News, Blanche said the department would “release several hundred thousand documents today.”

But he acknowledged Friday’s release would not encompass all of the DOJ’s documents for the investigation into the late financier.

    Anyone who was thinking Trump wasn’t just going to shred or redact anything that implicated him was dreaming.

    It’s a little weird that they’d delay…so much. I don’t understand and can’t sufficiently explain why they’re doing it. My best guess is they want to start a war before they release some of the stuff that makes him look bad by proxy. I guess maybe some of the people he’s throwing under the bus need a heads up?

      Trump is just a human loyalty test. Prolonging the Epstein shit lets them make sure that anyone who continues to follow him is utterly and completely on board with this crew’s agenda.

      Trying to just not quite release the files, playing along with “wanting to release the files” combined with a smattering of the content they hope to be enough to mollify most people.

      A pretend “good faith effort” to stall until people stop paying attention. Presumably something in the news cycle at some point will cause people to stop caring about some ‘inconsequential’ content beyond what they released.
