They didn't ignore it, they at least did a handwriting analysis and there are other documents and letter unreleased, according to Rep. Veasey.
According to Rep. Veasey, Epstein wrote MULTIPLE letters to Larry Nassar while in prison‼️
Apparently their correspondence is a known fact and when Rep. Veasey tried to get these documents released, every Republican voted against it.👀

If the Epstein/Nassar letter in the Epstein Files is fake, then why did Republicans vote unanimously to block its release earlier this year?
Also why hasn't DOJ released the handwriting analysis done on it at the FBI's request?

BREAKING: Trump DOJ Admits It Ignored—for 6 Years—Alleged Note From Epstein in Its Possession Accusing Trump of Sexually Assaulting "Nubile Young Girls"

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

What an astonishingly dishonest piece of propaganda for the fossil fuel industry, including its citing of Obama's extremely outdated energy policies and its misrepresentation of Norwegian public opinion.
“The mind-set shift needed here is to acknowledge that while climate change is real and harmful, the utility of fossil fuels is not something the oil and gas industry tricked the public into,” Matthew Yglesias writes.

If you can’t discern the grifters from the fraudsters, the lunatics, the mouth-breathers and the nazis, then maybe you weren’t cut out for this party.
Ben Shapiro: "Today I want to talk about something even more important — how to discern those attempting to speak truth from frauds and grifters…The conservative movement is in danger from charlatans who claim to speak in the name of principle but actually traffic in conspiracy and dishonesty."

At least 20 people who have received clemency from President Trump so far this year were also forgiven of financial penalties totaling tens of millions of dollars.
Some of these offenders owed money to real-life victims of fraud.
