Donald Trump orders US attorney general to 'produce' more Epstein documents

www.bbc.com

President Donald Trump says he has ordered the justice department to produce additional documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval," he said.

It's unclear if Trump is authorising the public release of these documents. Such action would typically require court approval.

Yeah Bondi, slap together some more doctored BS to tell whatever story you need to tell. Maybe more "raw unedited footage" pasted together and missing 3 minutes.

Cue the news conference where she pulls out a 2000 page binder that she claims are the documents, only to just be blank pages.
- I heard Trump has binders full of children.
  
  It's an old reference, but it checks out.
  
  Man those were simpler times—kinda. But the tea party era led us directly to where we are now
- I'm sure they will somehow, implicate Joe Binder in it.
  
  Hunter Biden*
- Can’t pull the same gag twice, surely?
- 2000pages, thats pretty heavy
Please let this backfire spectacularly
- I don't see how it could possibly help him. It's just going to keep the story in the media, longer it stays in the news cycle the bigger it snowballs.
  
  More likely let it stay in the media and give them boring shit until something else catches peoples attention.
  
  Distraction from something worse, probably.
- It won't, they'll produce a bunch of falsified documents implicating everybody but TACO, and half the country will accept it as gospel.
  
  Yeah, this sounds like "make me a list that I can use to target the rich people that don't like me".
  
  it would probably be heavily redacted documents, or the same ones that was already released.
- It sure won't satisfy any of the conspiracy theorists. This has been steeping for too long and imaginations have been running wild. Whatever they produce will never live up to the bombshell people are now expecting.
Wait, didn't they say there are NO files? What files are they gonna release? The inconsistencies here will blow some people's minds.
- There is no Excel spreadsheet named Epsteins_Client_List.xslx
  Ergo, no files.
  
  These seem like the kind of people who use spaces, not underscores, in their file names.
  
  duh, because it's .xlsx
- They converted it into a pdf.
  
  I need that nothing to PDF converter! oh, it's just grok? nevermind..
  
  Ah yes.. The pdfiles
The key word is pertinent:
Pertinent
n. Anything that doesn’t portray Trump in a bad light while simultaneously harming his perceived foes, as determined by Donald J. Trump and/or Pam Bondi at the formers discretion.
Plus, the Grand Jury testimony is only a small fraction of the ‘files’
- *a.
Sounds like the Dumbass-in-Chief wants that twat to throw together a list of names and claim it's the Epstein list. Bet all the names will be Democrats.
- Made this joke at work. It'll be
  Colin Kaepernick
  Obama's wife(not even Michelle it'll just say Obama's wife)
  Greta Thunberg
  
  That made me laugh out loud. It will probably say Obama Wife
- that twat
  I once used the word "twat" around my then-girlfriend. She said "you're pronouncing that wrong." WTF? "It's pronounced twah." Turns out she thought I and everybody else who used that word were trying to say the French word toit. No idea why she thought people were trying to use "roof" as an insult.
  
  Shut up ya roof
  
  I hear lots of Americans online trying to use it and pronouncing it wrong (twot). It's twat, tw-at. Maybe they think we all say it like that?
- If democratic personnel are thrown under the bus, they'll drag everyone else down with them.
  If there was anything worth seeing surely Ghislane would've used it to get out of jail
“Produce”, as in “fabricate” or “forge”
List aside, did I miss why we aren't still talking about the 3 missing minutes and Adobe edited surveillance footage of the prison?
- Because "flood the zone" is an incredibly effective tactic against Americans who can't stay focused on something longer than one day. Each time something horrific comes out in the news they can just tell people to look at Trump's ankles instead. Oh and then we get a very professional doctor's opinion that Trump is the greatest, healthiest president we've ever had with the physique of a college athlete.
  
  its not even an original idea from bannon, it comes from russia, firehose of falsehood, flood the news with so much chaos that people cant concentrate on one thing.
- That was like a year ago on a political timescale. Old news.
I don't think there is a more direct way of saying "you want epstein files? Fine I will produce some fake files and release them. You will eat those files like eating shit all the while knowing they are fake, because that is what you are. You are my little shit eaters."
I hate to say this, but Epstein/Trump stories feel like the real distraction. It's long been known that Trump is connected with Epstein, that he's a certified sex pest, and that he's creepy about kids (including his own daughter). It's been default knowledge that Trump is a pedo creep, yet people seem to think that even smoking gun evidence will make some sort of difference.
Almost nobody will seriously change where that stand based on anything that could possibly revealed. On the other hand, the economy is in shambles, the government in shreds, and there are actual fucking concentration camps that people are getting disappeared to.
There is too much horror in the moment for me to fret so much about these horrors from the past. Epstein will not harm anyone else, but unknown high level child sex rings will. Everyone around Epstein getting revealed will not bring retribution to many culprits, nor will it change the root causes of such unaccountable abuse.
- I could see it being a distraction but also feel like this should just be added to the growing list of things people should not let go as midterms approach and the administration tries to redirect the narrative of reality. Don't let them.
  Its a lot to keep up with, but in no particular order, as a direct result of this administration and Republicans in the House and Senate:
  •Rich pedophiles are now an officially protected species
  •Trump tried to insult and neg his own supporters into dropping the Epstein list
  •Economy is in shambles and projected to get worse
  •Over 100 Americans suddenly dead in Texas due to severe flooding and cuts to warning systems that were in place until Trump took office (Republicans are seriously trying to blame this on "weather manipulation"). Similar disasters very likely to follow.
  •After other disasters in other loyalist red states, emergency funding was withheld or delayed due to a lack of coordination between the white house and FEMA (with Trump's own pick leading things, last I heard he was on vacation and MIA following the TX floods)
  •Energy grids and local water supplies are being strained all over the country by the very stupid and very expensive AI data factories being rolled out across the U.S.
  •Giant Palantir surveillance database being created to keep tabs on all Americans. Don't forget that over the last 6 months: -ICE has been given the greenlight to break down doors without a warrant -Trump openly admitting he's not sure he has to follow due process -Trump dismantling the office of Human Rights and Civil Liberties that was created as a direct result of government overreach on behalf of the patriot act -There's a very fine line between what Trump can do to handle immigration and what he can do to any and all American citizens in the name of "domestic safety." That office was in charge of ensuring that line didn't get crossed, and if it did ensuring there would at least be documentation about it available through FOIA.
  •Trump knew about Netenyahu's planned bombing of Iran, publicly lied about it, said he didn't want a war with Iran, but then randomly just decided to start kicking the hornet's nest
  •Millions of Americans are losing their healthcare (in particular rural Americans and Trump's own voters are being hit especially hard by this) in order to provide tax cuts to wealthy elite
  •Even the ultraconservative Cato institute has criticized Trump's planned spending on immigration laid out in the BBB (over $1 trillion dollars on deportation spending seems a kinda ridiculous when you can't find the budget for Americans to have Medicaid)
  There's more, but just a few things off the top of my head.
  
  It doesn't hurt so long as we don't expect it to have much effect. I also don't think the midterms will make a difference, even if Republicans lose every possible seat in an absolute blowout. We're in a dictatorship 6 that's featuring domestic death camps 6 months in; violence against opposition is not unimaginable.
- he needed distraction on how bad the BBB was, epstein files kinda backfired a little.
Prepare for fake documents. Finally People can read this moron like a book. Lies and fake shit.
- Or, more likely, heavily cherry picked.
  See, there's nothing incriminating in THESE documents, so you can trust when we say that there's nothing incriminating in the rest of them, either.
This is like trying to get his tax returns... 😒
Sounds like the files have been "fixed" so the orange rapist's name won't be found on the new and improved documents. All okay now.
Does it exist today or not? I lose track sometimes. Is there an easy way to remember?
- The standard cult method is to follow a nazi douche like Charlie Kirk and uncritically repeat whatever they say verbatim.
Knowing how incompetent they are, I won't be surprised if they release a spreadsheet with a second tab they don't notice labelled "Donald's rape list"
Page after page of Lorem ipsum...
Grok or openai?
Stupid choice. Why say anything at all really? Just release whatever you are going to doctor and call them the files. This just makes it look like he is pulling shit out of his ass to satisfy the base.
- But if he didn't make a big public announcement how else would Charlie Kirk have something to advertise to all the people at Turning Point U.S.A. who are starting to ask too many questions
  Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who was critical of the administration's handling of the files in recent days, praised Trump's move. "This is massive, this is something that we've been talking about for quite some time, and really a power to the grassroots," he said.
  Wow...
  So when the Dems try to force the release of the files after the president promised to release them then tried to go back on that promise, it's "all for political show."
  When the Trump administration picks and chooses what breadcrumbs they will toss to the public (after already releasing edited footage and lying about it and insulting his own supporters), it's "power to the grassroots." 👑
"Also, I don't draw pictures," Trump said on social media in response to the story.
Of course he doesn't draw pictures. Artistic creation would require one to have a soul or some sense of joy.
- He does draw, he has several doodles with his stupid signature. None have any soul.
We want the full video of the cell. Fucking deep state fucker.
produce any and all Grand Jury testimony
How specific.
Y'all are getting too hung up on the word "produce" when the real issue is that a grand jury transcript is a miniscule subset of the documents people actually want to see.
"Shredding them now, Sir!"
[cutout of female figure for birthday card]
The letter, according to The Wall Street Journal, allegedly ends with the words: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret."
"These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don't draw pictures," Trump said on social media in response to the story.
“Is that your fucked up scrawly signature in the crotchtal area representing pubic hair?”
“ . . . . . No”
REDACTED
"Produce" probably as in "make up". Like an Epstein list containing all kinds of Democrats.
it would be heavily redacted of trump, or any of the donors.
Didn’t they already do this? And found nothing?
Heard in the oval office: The proles did not buy the they don’t exist bullshit. Time to cal in the spin doctors.
Oh they’ll be produced all right.
I don't need to see new produced information, I am content just seeing what they already have.
Kind of a shame it hasn't just been leaked.
Like at this point we know justice won't be served one way or the other, might as well get names out there
Yeah, they can start with the actual unedited video.
