I've been pondering the pace of the release of the Epstein files

Various folks ask, "why wasn't this all released during Biden's admin?" good question, but the answer lies not with Biden, but the slow deliberate walk of garland. Garland should never have been AG. He's a methodical navel gazer who wants to think things over to an extreme level. And possibly there are other reasons I'm not aware of but I'm not going to speculate here, that's not the point of this post.

The point is: how they are currently being released.

Because garland was slow to do anything, has actually worked to the nations (or saving the nation) advantage.

Due to the orange assholes denials and his Greek chorus of fools supporting him, it makes him look that much more guilty, but more over, the slow drip drip drip of information, leaks, emails, etc puts the orange idiot and his cadre of crooks always on the defensive.

Each and every day there is a new revelation.

These latest files just released are from Epstein's estate. Not the DOJ.

So this is the first of many shoes to drop.

I believe now, because the diminution has issued denials, willful obfuscation, and the glaring ignoring of any and all information released; this will now haunt the orange asshole and will be in the press every single day as new horrible tidbits are discovered, some will be small bits but others very big.

And that's good, because that means the orange asshole and his willful fucking goons will never know exactly how to respond until too late.

They don't know how to respond because they don't know what is coming next.

Can't Trump just veto and then they would need many more votes to overcome?

but the thing is if he veto's it, he looks worse. but if he passes it, he's in a world of shit.

damned if he does or he doesn't.

but in the meantime we will still get all sorts of leaks, because this ship is sinking LOL

5. And this material came from the Epstein estate not DOJ or other political spurces

Garland screwed us all with his slow walk of everything, especially the documents case. He could have and should have arrested and detained the felon the day of or after the mar a largo warrant seizure of all those boxes of classified documents.

the Epstein Estate. None of it is coming from the DOJ. The DOJ is still desperately trying to cover up everything.
