Remember in February when AG Pam Bondi told us the Epstein files were sitting on her desk and ready to be released?

So there is no excuse for slow walking this now. Stop stonewalling. Release all the files NOW!

Utter disgrace.
The Trump administration’s release of the Epstein grand jury documents are entirely redacted.

It’s 119 pages of just black rectangles.

“Any DOJ official who does not comply with this law will be subject to prosecution for obstruction of justice,” Ro Khanna said in a House speech this week. “If Pam Bondi does not comply with the law, she will be held either in inherent contempt of Congress or subject to impeachment.”

Although Tom Ragsdale’s oil companies owe New Mexico more than $3.5 million for pollution and unpaid fees, the state has recovered only about $50,000.

Drillers across the industry have employed similar tactics in what is known as “the playbook.”

Oil executive Tom Ragsdale walked away from his old wells, making the pollution left behind the state of New Mexico’s problem. His tactics, however, are ubiquitous in the industry.

I don't do much looking back at my own writing, but I've been thinking about this piece a lot today. From tenderly protecting Trump from criminal consequences to enthusiastically helping him dismantle the administrative state, Roberts owns it all.
