Episode notes
Release Was Largely Performative
- The Trump DOJ's so-called release under the Epstein Transparency Act was largely theatrical and insufficient.
- Much of the material was already public or heavily redacted, obscuring key information about abusers.
Blaming Judges To Deflect Responsibility
- The DOJ's fact sheet shifted blame to judges to justify limited releases.
- That framing masks DOJ control and responsibility for withholding files.
Use All Legal Avenues Now
- Pursue parallel legal and congressional strategies to force full disclosure.
- Use contempt votes, court actions, and bipartisan congressional pressure to compel the DOJ.
