You had to know this was coming

Blanche: The DOJ has now released all the files with respect to the Epstein saga. To the extent the Epstein files was a part of the past year of this justice department, it should not be a part of anything going forward.

...you also have to know he'll be eating those words, or mumbling them to himself in a contempt hearing.

Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia
This is a lie. About 50% of the files have been released and per our subpoena it’s illegal to withhold them.

Blanche may think it’s over, but we are just getting started.

THIS is what Bondi's firing is all about. Trump wanted someone who would stop the bleeding of incriminating Epstein file evidence that the AG acquiesced to.

Is Blanche going to start shredding the rest of the files now?

I'm sure there are complete collections of the files somewhere outside the DOJ, maybe even several places. Which makes the DOJ shredding the files an exercise in futility.

Ted Lieu @tedlieu 1h
Not a good sign when @DAGToddBlanche
continues to lie on his first day as interim AG.

Here’s a simple question for you Interim AG Todd Blanche: why are these redactions still on this document even when Members of Congress go to your office to view the document?
