Blanche says DOJ won’t release full Epstein files to Congress by Friday deadline, and honestly, it’s not surprising. The whole situation is just…predictable. It seems like the expectation was always that the Department of Justice wouldn’t fully comply with the deadline.
It’s clear that the administration wasn’t ever planning on making a complete handover of the files. The fact that they’ve had 30 days to prepare and still aren’t releasing everything speaks volumes. One can only imagine the sheer volume of material and the lengths they’re going to in order to keep certain information from public view. The whole thing smells of obstruction.… Continue reading
DOJ won’t meet Friday deadline to release all the Epstein files, and honestly, are we really surprised? It feels like the air is thick with anticipation, and not the good kind. The expectation was always there, a sense of inevitability that the deadline would be missed. After all, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has had these files for a while now – and we’re talking about a case of significant public interest.
The DOJ’s apparent failure is a frustration amplified by the seeming lack of accountability. We’re left wondering what the actual consequences are for not complying with the order. Are there any penalties?… Continue reading

House Republicans have moved their Christmas recess forward, scheduling their final votes for Thursday afternoon, a day earlier than initially planned. This shift coincides with the deadline for the Department of Justice to release unclassified materials related to Jeffrey Epstein under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Trump. While there is no direct evidence linking the early recess to the document release, some Democratic lawmakers and online commentators have speculated about the timing, given past reluctance from the GOP to fully disclose information about the Epstein case. The DOJ is expected to release the files on Friday, and Congress will resume its session on January 6 after the holiday break.

In a closed-door interview, Special Counsel Jack Smith asserted his team found proof beyond a reasonable doubt of Donald Trump’s criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results and amassed powerful evidence of obstruction related to classified documents. Smith stated his decisions were made without regard to Trump’s political affiliations or candidacy, and he would have pursued the same course regardless of party. The private deposition before the House Judiciary Committee provided the first opportunity for lawmakers to question Smith regarding the investigations that led to criminal charges against Trump, which were later abandoned due to his reelection.

Leaked documents reveal the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) has instructed prison auditors to suspend enforcement of federal regulations protecting trans and intersex inmates from sexual assault, including those concerning separate showers and safe housing assignments. This directive, issued in a memo from DoJ official Tammie M. Gregg, is a temporary measure while the administration revises the regulations to align with President Trump’s executive order on transgender rights. Critics argue that this pause effectively suspends crucial protections under the Prison Rape Elimination Act, potentially endangering vulnerable individuals. While the memo seeks to suspend enforcement, the legal implications and actual impact on prison policies remain unclear, as existing PREA standards are still technically in effect.

The US Department of Justice has issued a memo removing protections for LGBTQ+ individuals from sexual abuse in prisons, immediately ceasing enforcement of standards designed to shield them from harassment. This directive aligns with previous executive orders that have faced legal challenges, and also directs inspectors to disregard these protections in audits. The Justice Department is working to update Prison Rape Elimination Act (Prea) standards to conform with the anti-transgender policies. Advocates warn that these changes will likely increase violence and chaos within correctional facilities.

Grand jury rejections, particularly when concerning high-profile figures, can say a lot about the legal process and public perception. The recent refusal by a federal grand jury in Norfolk, Virginia, to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on alleged mortgage fraud charges is a prime example. This outcome, coming shortly after the dismissal of an earlier case based on a technicality, highlights some interesting dynamics. The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) attempts to refile the case, and the subsequent “no true bill” returned by the grand jury, sends a very clear message: the evidence, or the way it was presented, wasn’t strong enough to warrant charges.… Continue reading
