1. The DOJ has not released 99% of the Epstein Files, in direct violation of the law
They claim the delay is necessary to review the files

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.
