No matter what's happening now, we have to remember the DOJ's role is representing the interests of the United States in criminal and civil proceedings and adhering to ethical standards. Not oppo research or harassment or exposing and shaming uncharged individuals.
When Biden was in the White House, and Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, why did they keep all this Epstein stuff covered up?
Believed it’d be improper, running counter to the goal of restoring public perception of impartiality? That’s the relatively least damning answer I can think of.

Andrew Cuomo is truly showing his ass. I can't believe I hung on this man's every word for a time.
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."
