It’s been two weeks since the statutory deadline expired for the Justice Department to explain to Congress the reason for any redactions. Trump’s crew has missed that deadline as well.

So whatever happened to the release of the Epstein files after the house and senate both agreed to have them released. Dems and republicans both. Are we to believe that means nothing now? Where the hell are they? What’s next? Do other countries have to vote for the release of the files? WTF🤷♂️??
