The transition to a fully authoritarian State will happen as soon as those enacting it feel they can no longer retain power through current means.
The enabling rationale will be that it is for “National Security.”
The only question is when.

What if the “botched #redactions” weren’t botched? What if #DOJ did them wrong on purpose?
As far as I can tell, nothing redacted is a bombshell, and much is in the clear elsewhere.
But now they have an excuse to halt the pipeline entirely while they “fix” the problem.
If this happens…

Dear LLM ‘o mine -
Scan all documents. Evaluate text & font sizes & kerning. Compare redacted text where context suggests a name. Compare expected size of a name, first name, initials, full, or variant. Infer by context and size where a name meets the size requirements and is reinforced by context.

The #Epstein issue is going nowhere. The coverup is happening in real time and in the open. Congress has no enforcement mechanism.
There are plenty who have the full data set. The UK government. Much is held by the survivors. Hell, Mossad and Putin surely have copies.
IT IS TIME FOR A LEAK.

Sorry for the #humblebrag, but here's my #tax return for the year. Properly #redacted as per #DOJ guidelines, of course.

It would take roughly 120 million barrels of crude taken from sanctioned oil tankers to give every licensed American driver a 10 gallon free tank of gas.
I wouldn’t put it past him.

The first reporter to have the guts to say, "Mr. President, that was unprofessional and rude, and I believe you owe her an apology," will be set for life.
Why none have realized this is beyond me.

Based on what it disclosed, I believe we should all be yelling for #X to reinstate the account location feature, and institute transparency to prove it's accurate.
I have no doubt it was accurate when it was enabled a day ago, but like the #Epstein files, I doubt its accuracy when brought back.

#Trump has said that the #Epstein investigation has been re-opened, and he is going after #Democrats. He's not investigating himself.
With me?
So if you can't release files related to those being investigated, release the rest. And since Trump isn't being investigated... those files are fair game.

My take on the #Epstein situation, #Trump reversal, and the #Discharge #Petition (a thread)
The “if DOJ starts a new investigation, they don’t have to release the files” theory comes from two overlapping things:

Do some math. What happens to political funding if everyone in the #Epstein files had their contributions go to zero?

Remember, even if the #Epstein #Files are scrubbed, the #British have full copies. There's no way they sacked an ambassador and kicked Andrew to the curb over nothing. They know.
And if they're released scrubbed, someone in the UK is going to say it's a crossed-line and leak their copy.

You all do realize #swearing in #Grijalva doesn't matter, right? The bill will pass the House. It likely won't pass the Senate, but even if it does, it will be vetoed. And there's no way there are the votes to override a veto.
The #Epstein files won't be released this way.
Someone's gotta leak.

Okay, presuming that the government re-opens and there's nothing that can be done about it, does that not mean the House must go into session? Does that then mean we get our 218th signature and a vote in seven days?

Grijalva is the legally elected and certified representative.
“Swearing in” is a ceremony. She can take any oath on her own by declaration.
She should just show up and start doing her job. Democrats should support this.
Anyone who doesn’t like it can sue.
