A Few Questions for the DOJ
Here, Congress...let me help you.
The fallout from the January 30 Mother of All Friday news dumps of 3.5 million pages has reached a fever pitch. As I wrote over the weekend, no one has read them all, but even the DOJ’s clunky search feature has led to more shocking revelations about not only Jeffrey Epstein’s monstrous behavior, but the spectrum of horrors is widening, the obvious deceptions from the Department of “Justice” are becoming crystalline, and
The DOJ is still a massive tranche (between 30-50%) of the total identified trove. These questions are designed to stop the usual Trump Cabinet bluster and corner Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy AG Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel on their specific roles in the cover-up and redaction process.
As always, I welcome smart people and smart lawyers to add to this list.
To AG Bondi: You testified in October 2025 that your department identified “roughly 6 million” pages responsive to the Epstein Files Transparency Act. On January 30, you declared the mission “complete” after releasing 3.5 million. Where is the 42% gap, the remaining 2.5 million pages, and which specific official signed the order to classify them as “non-responsive” despite the Congressional mandate?
To Director Patel: In late 2025, you claimed the FBI possessed “tens of thousands of videos” from the Zorro Ranch and Palm Beach properties. However, only 2,000 were released on Friday, most with “extensive redactions” of the men involved. Can you explain the disappearance of roughly 8,000 to 15,000 video files that your office previously acknowledged?
