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

Good now release everything so we as Americans can see the evidence
Not the grand jury but the EPSTEIN FILES. Bondi has them, Bondi can release them
The FBI probably has them, but same point.
Trump knew this would be denied so he could blame a judge for whatever he wants
Good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1lV...
We knew that would happen. It's all optics for his base. He couldn't legally have those files released from the grand jury files. Now, the Epstein files themselves? Yeah, they can release those, but that's not what he asked for. Again, optics.
The FBI could release the 37 videos of Trumpstein raping children today if they wanted to. I'm sure Putin has them, too.
There's still 37 videos of Trumpstein raping children.
That's more than his felony count.
Shocked I tell you, shocked!
I wander why a Jewish judge would block transparency on a Mossad operation?
Good. It's useless anyway.
Traders
That seems to be exactly what they wanted
So are we now to believe THIS judge isn't one of their "corrupt activist" boogeymen? And will they suddenly find some value in a judge's determination and say he's right, no appeal, no doxxing?🤔🤔
When did the admin give AF about a stupid federal jduge? Issue a "Royal Executive Order!" and be done with it already.
Just like Trump planned it.
They are all hearsay anyway. Just another distraction. Release the actual files.
Well. That's that I guess. Time to move on to Hillary's emails and Hunter's laptop.
Pettyman Smallcock must be wildly grieved.
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!
Sometimes, sarcasm is hard to convey in these messages. 😋

This is what Trump was counting on!
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.
As expected by the Trump admin, giving them cover on right wing shows to say “see? We tried”
It won’t matter. This is stuck to him like glue. His standard song and dance , shell game and magic show is losing it’s appeal. Scary thing is, he might have Hegseth nuke NY if his invasion of DC doesn’t distract enough.
And, I'd add, exactly zero MAGAts will read the court's order and then reach the natural conclusion that the Administration is f'ing with them.
correct
Agree, even as they knew the grand jury docs were useless to begin with! So much f n 'shade' happening!
There is no reason why this can't be released. The victims want ALL of the #EPSTEIN files released. They are the only people who deserve any protection.
ENGELMEYER says the Trump administration’s claim that they wanted to release the Epstein grand jury records to shed new light on the case is “demonstrably false.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Judge also said there’s nothing in the papers that you wouldn’t already know if you read the trial transcripts. Which are freely available.
We knew that would happen. It's all optics for his base. He couldn't legally have those files released from the grand jury files. Now, the Epstein files themselves? Yeah, they can release those, but that's not what he asked for. Again, optics.
Are you tired of winning yet?
It was always just a sham. Get the court to decline to release the information -- as expected -- and then throw that into the whirlwind of distractions and disclaimers, while hoping that everyone gets bored and moves on.
What the J really said: that the GJ transcripts CONTAIN new info is false! J is saying THIS IS A DISTRACTION!
So with that out of the way, we can focus on what really matters namely to release the Epstein Files, redacted for the names of the victims only, to confirm the many occasions our Pedo Prez prominently features in them.
They don’t expect the MAGA faithful to understand this, and will whinge about how “lawless judges are keeping the TRUTH from you!” Which is obviously nonsense on stilts.
MORE: Engelmeyer says he reviewed the grand jury material and confirmed there is virtually nothing in it that isn’t public already. It would “not reveal new information of any consequence.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Judge Englemeyer to Trumps distraction balloon. Why won’t Trump release the files??
ENGELMEYER: Any person "who reviewed these materials expecting, based on the Government’s representations, to learn new information about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s crimes and the investigation into them, would come away feeling disappointed and misled. There is no 'there' there."
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.
Judge Engelmeyer is particularly brutal here: "The one colorable argument under that doctrine for unsealing in this case, in fact, is that doing so would expose as disingenuous the Government’s public explanations for moving to unseal." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Engelmeyer also describes "irregularities" about the unsealing effort, noting that it was filed by DAG Todd Blanche and not supported by any member of the trial team that handled the case. "Suggestive of haste rather than reflective deliberaiton." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Bunch of incompetent hacks. Merit-based hiring? Not.
A key point.
Thanks as always @kyledcheney.bsky.social for the quick, accurate, succinct updates.
Everyone should read Julie K. Brown’s book Perversion of Justice. Wow. It proves money buys power which buys influence. The “justice” system failed the victims and did everything they could to not prosecute a child sex trafficker. I wonder why…
I have this in my Libby app from my library as we speak. I’ll be reading next week while on vacation.
The felon never adheres to rules any other time. It’s amazing he has trouble releasing these- but doesn’t have any problems breaking other laws and doing what he wants any other time quickly.
No surprise it was a red herring by the gov't.
It even says Maxwell grand jury materials. Stop framing this around Epstein, he's dead.
Interesting order, which includes this: "The Court therefore denies the Government’s motion to unseal at the threshold. Contrary to the Government’s depiction, the Maxwell grand jury testimony is not a matter of significant historical or public interest. Far from it...
... It consists of garden-variety summary testimony by two law enforcement agents. And the information it contains is already almost entirely a matter of longstanding public record, principally as a result of live testimony by percipient witnesses at the 2021 Maxwell trial." As the court further...
... stated, "There is no there there."
While some MAGA will still claim “the judge is trying to hide something, it must be the Dems!”….but then also claim since Trump’s name wasn’t mentioned in the GJ, he is cleared.
As predicted
the fix is in.
Until appeal.....
They’re just trying to muddy the waters: we don’t want the grand jury material, we want the files on Bondi’s desk.
@princessmom122.bsky.social
Isn't it Maxwell grand jury material?
Both
Our reps are home on vacation. Call and demand a town hall. Ask how long they are going to run cover for trumps sex trafficking. Call your reps every day and GOP leaders 202-224-3121 Tell them to remove Trump by impeachment/treason charges Need help use 5calls.org Also, Runforsomething.net
JD Vance told us just yesterday that he saw the Epstein list. That’s what we want, not grand jury info.
Not surprising-and that was the strategy
It's what Trump's handlers were counting on. Now they can claim "we tried," and refuse to try again with FBI Epstein files, even though they're not the same thing, and which a court would not likely prevent.
Didn’t want GJ docs. FILES is what we want- big difference. He’s hiding- it’s a coverup folks!!
"Ghislaine Maxwell admitted Jeffrey Epstein DID have tapes of Trump" www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
Donald [Redacted] is a pedophile
"The Court’s review confirmed that unsealing the grand jury materials would not reveal new information of any consequence." AND THEY KNEW IT! The Government-supplied binder ID'ing info that it had been unable to determine is public, only contained scattered words, clauses, and occasional sentences
And that why the National Guard is coming to Dc
That’s why. Dammit give us an edit button already.
