Let me get this right: A judge blocks action by the Trump Administration? THAT can happen? Really?
If you were following the story at all, you would have noticed two things:
1. Many legal scholars have commented on how half-hearted and lackadaisical the Justice Department's submission to Judge Berman was. It is in sharp contrast to the very determined and pugnacious posture the Justice Department has adopted in other cases.
2. The grand jury testimony is a red herring in any case. It is basically just an FBI officer's summary of the evidence up to that point. The real treasure trove is in evidence the FBI possesses that was never brought to the grand jury.
You are correct, Duk; I have NOT been
following the story
much, BECAUSE there is no there there.
I would think that the Grand Jury heard from victims and thus that is what is being protected, the identity and testimony of some who gave testimony under the condition of anonymity. So it is NOT
just an FBI officer's summary of the evidence up to that point.
And Yes, I know that there is LOTS more that the FBI has. I predicted to a few that the Grand Jury testimony would LIKELY NOT be released. As far as the
half-hearted and lackadaisical the Justice Department's submission
again, I have not followed this situation THAT carefully.
I predict we will NEVER know exactly the situation about Epstein's death: suicide or murder. It is too MURKY, from what I have read. It will be like who was the Real Jack the Ripper or the JFK assassination: there will be many who do not believe one version of the facts.
AND there are too many Democrats and other men in Power (Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, MORE) who do not want the facts released. There is NOTHING actually credible that shows me that Trump participated in underage sex, despite all the silly videos by pack rat. There are lots of innuendo and whispering, but no credible FACTS that I have seen, other than allegations of Clinton's name on the Flight logs to Epstein's Island. I had read about flight logs BEFORE Trump ran for President and, as far as I know, Trump's name was NOT released as having been on any such flights there.
Keep digging, folks. And please use facts and not silly worthless videos that prove NOTHING.
There is NO there there.
