House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) found that the Trump administration has only released half the Epstein files documents and redacted hundreds of thousands of pages.
THEY DON"T HAVE ANY POWER. The House is straight majority rule, and, in fact, Raskin is doing something by requesting the full files from the DOJ, but the House minority has no SUBPOENA POWER, so they can't compel the DOJ to do anything.
Everyone, please stop saying stop talking and do something, because it makes you sound uninformed about how your government works.---Jason
The trouble is the Dems are not in the majority. So they can demand anything they want, but the traitorous Repubs will vote it down. Dems need to get a few Repubs to hold the DOJ in contempt for violating the law. THEN find the heads of DOJ guilty and have them arrested.
That is the issue. Democrats have gotten more done than any other House minority in recent memory, but they are still in the minority, which means they need GOP help to do anything.--Jason
At least a very disgusting portion excaped for a little while (before it was retracted) and enough people saw/copied it. It needs to be seen EVERYWHERE.
Of course the Dems should get this information to the public. Democratic ‘leadership’ is weak, unsophisticated, not very smart and acts like they are bought and paid for.
They compromise to avoid disruption and will ultimately lead to the end of our way of life.
We are lobsters in a pot and the Dems are controlling the heat.
What can the Democrats actually do? The answer is to win the election. They didn't compromise to avoid disruption. Where did you get that idea?---Jason
Take it to the court of public opinion. Expose lies on all sides, stop protecting the powerful. Support women, immigrant Americas, the bottom of the economic ladder.
They are already doing that. Too many people still believe what they hear/read on mainstream media. The Dems successfully forced Congress to remove ICE funding from the bill the Senate passed. They're trying but they don't have a lot of clout at this point.
I don't bother with mainstream; this came from Politicus. While current funding for ICE is still in play no new funds can be appropriated for at least 2 weeks, that is if the House approves.
Your idea is impossible. They can't "take him to court," and if they did, there is no remedy for a court to remove a president. The brutal truth is NO ONE IS GOING TO DO THIS FOR YOU. THE ANSWER AND ONLY ANSWER IS FOR DEMOCRATS TO WIN THE MIDTERM ELECTION.---Jason
I hear you, Jason, but I'm afraid something, not sure exactly what, will need done VERY soon! If I'm not mistaken, Jerome Powell's term ends this may, and Dump has already tentatively named a successor. One of his loyals no less. If that's true, and his cronie is confirmed, then we had just as well reach over and push the flush lever down on the U.S. economy and financial standing.
While this isn't necessarily related to the topic of the Trumpstein files, I'm afraid if we are putting all eggs in the midterm basket, it may be too late for some things.
Right on. We the Resistance need to Get Out The Vote! Approx. 86 million eligible voters didn’t cast a ballot in Nov. 2024. And even fewer people vote in the Midterms. Why??? All of us know people who choose not to vote, for one reason or another. We should talk to them and encourage them to change their outlook.
A man with dementia, a fraud, a pedophile, a murderer. . . and to think this disgusting waste of air has the codes to start a nuclear war! What the hell is wrong with republicans! Has trump threatened and/or bribed them them that much? They are a bunch of spineless cowards!
Congress and the public both need to have the full unredacted documents in the Epstein files. Based on what is in the ones they just released we can only assume that the other three million documents they are trying to hide must be truly horrific. Those people participating in those horrific acts are truly evil, soulless, demonic and deserve to be punished severely. Those people who choose to support and/or cover up for them are despicable individuals.
We want the non-redacted files to be read by the Congress… not some bullshit paperwork that will evade prosecuting Trump. He is already a felon who should be behind bars.
Congressman Raskin. We will go all the way until November, when Democrats take back, at least the House, and you will have the power back to have U.S. Marshalls go out and make the arrests we need to interrogate and prove the stonewalling of the Republicans. That is 9 months and 8 days from now.
During this time everyone needs to make these files issue #1 in our hearts and minds. That is plenty of time for you to get all the warrants you need and the judges lined up to sign them. On November 9th we expect you to act immediately to issue the warrants and empower the wheels of justice to start rolling.
May I suggest that these warrants are issued either a provision of not allowing any release bonds to be used. I also hope that you include in those warrants the names of Musk and the members of ICE that murdered unarmed Americans.
If you can’t do this, don’t bother running for office in 2028. You won’t win!
The cowardly acts by the House Republicans must be made clear to all Americans!! They have hurt EVERYONE!! They are the majority and are responsible for everything!!
Based on what they released yesterday and then withdrew, how can the Department of Injustice plausibly claim they are doing anything except covering up for the oligarchs and Jabba? My bad. Plausability is not required for this administration. But accountability will be. American Nuremberg’s.
Stop talking and do something. Arrest those holding back the files. This is bullshit. We all know Trump is guilty of outrageous illegal acts.
THEY DON"T HAVE ANY POWER. The House is straight majority rule, and, in fact, Raskin is doing something by requesting the full files from the DOJ, but the House minority has no SUBPOENA POWER, so they can't compel the DOJ to do anything.

Yay Jamie!! Wish you in charge!!
THE TRUMP DOJ PRODUCED LESS THAN HALF OF THE PAGES OF THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Why aren't more people talking about that?--Jason
At least a very disgusting portion excaped for a little while (before it was retracted) and enough people saw/copied it. It needs to be seen EVERYWHERE.
Thank you, representative, Jamie Raskin for all that you're doing for the American people.
I agree Thanks Jamie Raskin

Read the agreement. Not what is being reported

They can demand all they want. Ridiculous. Take DJT’s team to court for allowing a prez with dementia to be president.

Yes, he has. They are terrified of him.---Jason

The Suvivors are talking about naming names. Also , Would they have standing to file a lawsuit because many names were not redacted?
We want the non-redacted files to be read by the Congress… not some bullshit paperwork that will evade prosecuting Trump. He is already a felon who should be behind bars.
YES, YES, YES: The victims deserve it!!!!! Thank you Jamie Raskin!!

Of course! Thank you Mr Raskin
Absolutely, YES!
Make Bondi submit to a lie detector test...
