    “I’ve never seen a group of people go to such lengths to protect sexual predators,” wrote Shawn Ryan, an influential podcast host and former Navy SEAL to his more than 1.2 million followers on X.

    Agreed. I don’t think that even the Catholic church has gone to such lengths.

    Newly-released documents from disgraced late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including a sheaf of entirely redacted pages, are seen in this handouts released by the U.S. Justice Department and printed and arranged for a photograph by Reuters in Washington, D.C., U.S., December 19, 2025.

    The Justice Department quietly filed a motion in federal court Friday to block a new effort to compel the agency to release its trove of files on Jeffrey Epstein – as it’s required to by law – in a move that sparked fierce backlash among critics.

    Signed into law last November, the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) required the DOJ to release every file in its possession on Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell by Dec. 19, and with redactions limited to those protecting minors or victims. Instead, the DOJ released only a small fraction of its files on Epstein by the deadline, and with redactions beyond what the law permitted.

      Is this the same Jeffery Epstein, Trump’s closest and most intimate friend? The same one who ran the child sex ring and was killed mysteriously in prison?

        Killed in prison while Trump was president, after Epstein had been telling people he was afraid for his life because of what Trump might do. But yeah, nothing to see there.

    Listen, this is a minor issue, relatively speaking…

    But as someone who just spent like $130 on fucking printer ink, I’m curious how much printing out all of those reactions would cost.
