SEE? VP VANCE WANTS THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASED TOO

On Friday, Democracy Forward Foundation sued the DOJ and the FBI to make it respond to its request for the release of the Epstein files. They asked as well for all communications the administration has exchanged over the files and President Trump’s inclusion in them, as required under the Freedom of Information Act. The Democracy Forward Foundation filed FOIA requests on July 28, asking for expedited processing in light of public interest in the files, but the DOJ and the FBI have not responded. The case has been assigned to Judge Tanya Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, who presided over Trump’s criminal trial for his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Since AG Bondi announced on July 7 that the administration would not be releasing any more information about the Epstein investigation and especially since July 23, when the WSJ reported that Bondi had told Trump in May that his name appears in those files, the president has thrown up one distraction after another, seemingly panicked. If Trump’s hope is to chum the news with stories about his federal takeover of DC and his upcoming parlay with Putin so people forget about the Epstein files, he’s not getting much help from VP Vance. On Fox Sunday morning Vance said: “We know that Jeffrey Epstein had a lot of connections with left-wing politicians and left-wing billionaires.... Democrat billionaires and Democrat political leaders went to Epstein Island all the time. Who knows what they did.” Good job. Way to tamp down the clamoring by MAGA. Remind them there are probably lots of powerful Dems to expose. By releasing the files. He couldn’t have chosen a more effective way to pour more fuel on that particular dumpster fire. So let’s go get those Dems. Release the files already.
