Redacted testimony vs. unredacted.
![“[A]nother friend ... was one of the many girls that had sexual relations with Donald Trump ... She confided in me about her casual “friendship" with Donald. Mr. Trump definitely seemed to have a thing for her and she told me how he kept going on about how he liked her ‘pert nipples’. Donald Trump liked licking and sucking her nipples until they were raw. One evening when we were showering together she showed me her nipples. They looked incredibly painful as they were red and swollen and I remember wincing when I looked at them. I also know she had sexual relations with Trump at Jeffery’s NY mansion on regular occasions as I once met Jen for coffee, just before she was going to meet Trump and Epstein together at his mansion.” Ex. 6 (RANSOME_000296);](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dcupnwaxyomuequmjupqy3oy/bafkreiftqtolc5bywlrmyh4vyfysaofkvm5qqbeyxwk36bkajkw26bhw4i@jpeg)

The DOJ's hiding of the Epstein files violates the law, both in the letter and the spirit. Deliberately. They didn't negotiate any easement.
So, who's going to jail? Who's indicted? How many subpoenas?
Or are we pretending it's not a real law? You know, like the War Powers Resolution of 1973?

The War Powers Resolution requires Congressional approval for any armed conflict that's not a direct attack. Nigeria hasn't attacked, and Congress hasn't issued an AUMF.
So, this is a Trump crime, but it's a big one this time. I wonder if Congress will do anything.

Tesla cars use electricity to open the doors. Only some have manual levers. When a Tesla crashes and the power stops, maybe you get out, or maybe not. Amazingly boneheaded.
