Kirschner:
“A federal judge in Florida just denied Pam Bondi's Department of Justice's motion to release the Epstein grand jury transcripts

So why did they file a big splashy motion... ? PR value perhaps. Look! look! we're demanding…the court to release the Epstein grand jury transcripts...What they never said was, um, even though the law doesn't allow it. Well, the judge said it, and...the DOJ lawyers conceded it!”

In North Carolina, DEMOCRATIC Governor Josh Stein vetoed four racist and hateful GOP bills.

They included three pieces of legislation that aimed to stop folks from implementing DIVERSITY, EQUITY, and INCLUSION initiatives, and the other would’ve stripped away transgender rights. #democracy #Democrats #northcarolina #ncpol #uspol #uspolitics

Daily Beast:
Bondi Told Trump His Name Is in Epstein Files Multiple Times

Attorney General Pam Bondi told the president that his name is in the documents at a White House meeting in May, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing senior administration officials.

It comes after Trump said last week that Bondi hadn’t told him that his name was in the files on the late convicted sex offender he once called a friend.

TRUMPSTEIN COVERUP
Mastodon Post

If this report is true, then we know 1) that DOJ has Epstein files and 2) that Donald Trump is named in them. We need the context of all Trump references.

We know that a Jeffrey Epstein victim told the FBI - twice - to look into Trump.

We know that an Epstein accuser reported a late-night Trump visit to Epstein's office.

We know that Trump and Epstein were long-time party pals and travel pals.

We are getting to know a great deal and, no doubt, there's a lot more.

Meanwhile, Mike Johnson adjourned the US House early and then slithered under a rock.

“ In a rare bipartisan move, three House Republicans have joined all 5 Democrats today in voting to subpoena the Department of Justice for Jeffrey Epstein-related files.
The 8–2 vote came from the Oversight Select Subcommittee, escalating pressure on the DOJ to release un-redacted documents tied to Epstein’s criminal network and government contacts.”
