Yesterday was the deadline to provide Congress with a full explanation of the Epstein Files redactions... The DOJ failed to comply with the law, again.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

Donald Trump is clear: he launched this war to remove a foreign leader and now he claims the U.S. will “run the country.”
In other words, Donald Trump wants the U.S. to be an occupying power and control the oil.

I've been fighting a cold for a week and enjoying a detailed replay of "Surviving the Aftermath," a game I gladly recommend.
A few times while you were going on about some TV show, I almost wrote, “Don’t you have some writing to do !??”
Yet I wasted yesterday binge watching new season of the awful “Emily in Paris” (which takes place in Rome) just to see the scenes of Rome, the clothing & good looking men. So I get it.

Imagine being a journalist and thinking that withholding evidence is "complying with the spirit if not the intent" of a law and not, say, a sign that criminals might be meddling with or destroying the evidence they're withholding.
BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?
MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.

The "law" is what the people with guns say it is.
Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.
