Still working on the redactions, most likely.

said no sane person.

&t=1s

I was expecting them, with great fanfare, to release only those portions that incriminated Democratic politicians and donors.

You know the trump DOJ is a stickler for attention to detail and accuracy. And they also hate America And Justice for all.

Republicans did all of this. This is who they are.

What the fuck have you been doing all these months? An ass kicking but very respected OIC of mine in the Navy back in the last Century had a saying and he only said it once, “when you’re on time your late.” Share with your fellow countrymen your lack of discipline Blanche. Tell us all while your republican values easily rationalize covering up crimes. Gosh Blanche it’s almost like your malfeasance was planned. From the Oval Office.

The rule of law means nothing to these unAmerican child rape protecting shits.

"Victim" to them does not mean any of the girls or boys trafficked for sex. Victim to this administration means those oligarchs who got caught with their pants down. Can't have THEIR names drug through the gutters, you know...

Three passes by thousands of government employees each time wasn't enough to finish the redactions? Anyone with any common sense knows with this action the administration is admitting there's so much trump in this files, as well as leaders from other countries, banks, hedge funds, tech bro outfits, and other high muckety mucks who get all the tax breaks, that there's no way to ensure everyone is protected.

But the estate has released unredacted files, correct? It'd be very interesting to do a compare and contrast between same documents between trump and the estate. See just exactly what trump was trying to keep redacted and away from public knowledge.

I do believe the words "National Security" should be banished from our language after we get back the government. No more "protecting National Security" by keeping Americans in the dark about what their government is doing. Especially after living through this decade of trump, and Bush/Cheney prior to that, I think we can see we are all big boys and girls now. We can't face whatever this government has done and demand accountability for it.

dishonest coverup accessories after the fact. If there's too much redaction, someone will leak unredacted copies (and intel committee members have ways of reading through redactions).

I hear you re your view of "national security." Of course we wouldn't ever use those terms in the future as republican administrations have used it -- as cover for their own security/accountability. So what other phrase could mean what this one originally meant? I think, by now, most Americans have seen that phrase abused by this administration to label and criminalize dissenting Americans. They know the phrase has been properly used by Democratic administrations to describe foreign enemies, cyber threats, arms buildups, etc.

Return to normalcy of government means we refuse to cave to the failed republican party's dishonest abuse of governing language. We return governing language to its rightful uses. Another good start is to restore all the language they censored from the Vought/Miller/Trump government documents and websites.

I think we need to go beyond that in the reeducation in the English Language. We have to get down to meager words and word comparisons. Maybe send out a very simple dictionary (not like the one's I adore and collect... they have all kinds of info on words in them)... to every individual in the U.S., no matter what they're age or education level. Maybe a few of them might actually pick it up and open it... even perhaps read a few words and get curious. Strange things have happened in the past... (shrug)

I think the whole stupidity around "Shall" and "Will" is what drove me over the edge with the language aspect!

I hear you. Your idea of providing a general dictionary of words shows you understand that Governance is based on clear rule of law language. However, you should also understand that "Shall" and "will" have very important, distinct governing meanings.
Slopping with the language of Law has already damaged the foundation of what governing actually is, and how government rightly works for the Common Good. Being "above the law" means that those words mean nothing to a man who wields power and demands loyalty on penalty of one's very life. We're living through that.

We generally see things the same way because Democrats generally respect the words of the US Constitution.

Dept of Jackoffs are still collecting blackmail dues to help with what they will redact

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/4405/text

I'm thinking that when Congress has to examine the redaction justifications (likely boxes of them) the work will have to fall to staff, and could stretch months into the midterm season, for what that might be worth.

It's in a folder on her desk, though. Surely.

We can’t have any Rs questioning the DOJ dragging their feet. Happy Holidays!

NOT.

That's why they went into recess yesterday.

to do a "citizen's amendment" or something like that to push onto the Congress, and maybe even the presidency (after rump's example, as well as Bush's). A clause that states they can only mix "X" number of consecutive days before forfeiting pay and allowance (just like what happens with us at our places of business!). After "XX" number of days, the representative is considered missing and no longer an active member; therefore, he should be replaced. Maybe that changes the elections to where we elect a "member in waiting" ... not really a part of Congress, and unpaid until and if s/he becomes needed as per a missing member of Congress.

I know the state governments hate it when we do these citizen initiatives (can't bring the right name to mind!), but they DO work... at least until the state legislature says "meh, we're not going to abide by that."

It implicates her coverup during the Fl indictment. What was Epstein sentence? One year of probation and a fine?!

Nothing will come of it.

Which should be the more shocking aspect of this.

But...

If they hold these scumbags in criminal contempt, TSF will just pardon them. Constitutional crisis here we come.

🙄

Expected bad news still has to be reported for the record.

Hate to say it, but this is much ado about nothing. This will keep dragging on even against the law, snippets will be released as blacked out pages, a lot of people will be embarrassed by their photos being out there, but in the long run nothing will transpire. Does anyone seriously think anything damaging to trump would be released? By this DOJ? The truth died with Epstein. The rest is noise. I hope I am wrong.
