Dramatic day as Democrats and Republicans threaten impeachment over Epstein files

Authored by smh.com.au and submitted by Netalott

Phoenix: The Trump administration is being accused of breaking the law and breaching public trust after it released only part of the so-called Epstein files after heavily redacting many of the documents on a dramatic day leading into the Christmas break.

Democrats and Republicans were threatening US Attorney-General Pam Bondi with impeachment or prosecution, while one Epstein survivor said the redactions were “obviously” made to protect rich and powerful men who had witnessed or participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

“This is not transparency,” Congressman Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, said. “This is just more cover-up by Donald Trump and Pam Bondi.”

The Department of Justice made public thousands of documents related to its investigations into Epstein on Saturday (AEST) – the deadline to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed by Congress and signed by Trump 30 days ago.

I'll share this till yall are sick of seeing it.

4 quick things:

joseph schnitt. Share his name around. He works in the DOJ. Was caught 6 months ago on camera confirming the DoJ would redact trumps name and leave in the Dems.

Trump bought the Miss Teen USA pageant in 1996 and owned it for 20 years. Weird thing for someone to buy. Especially if they're best friends with the most notorious child abuser in modern time.

Bondi accepted $25,000 for her FL campaign from the Trump Org and suddenly dropped her ethics investigation into Trump University.

Kash Patel started the Kash Foundation to cover the legal fees of the J6 folks who stormed our Capitol and killed our police officers.

They got a half a dozen pictures of Clinton, meanwhile there are over a hundred pages that are redacted that probably mention somebody else. I wonder who that someone is...

Keep it up though, the withholding might be more damaging than if they just released it. IF they just released it they could tell their base it's fake news, tampered with etc. and they'd probably believe it, but they CAN'T explain not releasing it.

Impeach all of them.

Every single fucking person involved in this coverup deserves prison time.
