Predictably. This gives them a chance to blame it on the judge, while continuing to refuse releasing all the material they can.

No, this is what they want — they will appeal, and if the Court of Appeals does not affirm immediately, they can pretend to regret that the matter is tied up in litigation so, alas, no disclosures can be made. As if this petition to unseal GJ transcripts governs the investigative files — NOT!

Judge Engelmeyer rightly identifies Bondi’s request to unseal grand jury testimony as disingenuous. It sounds secret and sensational, but in fact is not; the testimony was simply a summary of known facts. Obviously, the attempt was to use these materials as a sop to Cerberus; to reveal nothing.

We knew that. The GJ testimony is 2 FBI guys telling general stories about what a douch bag Epstein and Maxwell were. Trump was just another celebrity who fucked kids as far as they were concerned. The 1000's of pages of sworn affidavits by victims and those that saw what happened is what we need.
