A Justice Department request to unseal grand jury transcripts in the prosecution of chronic sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein and his former girlfriend is unlikely to produce much to satisfy the public's appetite for new revelations about Epstein's crimes, former federal prosecutors say.

"US district judge Robin Rosenberg found that the department's request in Florida did not fall into any of the exceptions to rules requiring grand jury material be kept secret.

"Rosenberg wrote that the court's "hands are tied" and said the government had not requested the grand jury's findings for use in a judicial proceeding, pointing out that district courts in the US are largely prohibited from unsealing grand jury testimony except in very narrow circumstances."

Trump knew they would say No which is why he requested it in the first place.

From what I gather. Grand jury records are secret and therefore not open to be published. This was just a PR move to try and get the heat off of Trump. Which of course will not happen anytime soon.

Miranda, just shut the ---- up, you god damned idiot. Mopping up barf from the drunk tank doesn't make you a legal expert, you pathetic hack.

Testimony is always leaked when the deep state wants it to be. Not that Democrats need evidence to make an accusation.

Well--that's that. We'll never know anything about this guy Epworth, or whatever his name was. Never knew him, and I never ran into him socially. All the radical left socialist communists are done now. Antifa too. My beautiful attorney general has told me that she cannot release any of the evidence collected without approval of someone, and that Maxwell lady, whose name no one can pronounce or spell, well she's in jail and I hear not doing well and she may not be around much longer. But the Kennedy Center, named after our beautiful first lady, how about that? It's great. And they are bringing back good shows, like Oklahoma!, and Cats which I always liked, and my favorite--Look Back in Anger...

Pedofurher knew this would be a distraction.

DOJ knew the judge would refuse it.

It was a lame attempt to say they "tried".

They have all the files. They don't need a judge to release them.

Their excuse is "there is sex acts with children" is ripe as I DON'T SEE ANYONE BEING PROSECUTED FOR THE PEDOPHILIA.

This is the outcome Democrat liars wanted. They can make any claim they want and it can't be refuted with facts. Not that facts matter to Democrats, Biden's Auto-pen, Covid, Russiagate, Jan 6, BLM etc. and etc.

Republicans could change the outcome.
Republicans could vote to make the Epstein Files public.
Republicans aren't going to do that because Trump's name is all over the Epstein Files.

And you know I'm right about that.
