📌Here's an example of what this lawless "Justice" Department just released from the Epstein Files.
Not only haven't they released everything as required by law, but much of what they have (like this) is a sick joke.
Impeach Bondi RIGHT NOW. Enough of this shit.

Remember: ICE is getting $170B in new funding from Trump's Big Ugly Bill and lowering its hiring standards.
