Follow the damned law. Release the Epstein Files.

This is what Trump's behavior here is all about.

@#2 ... Follow the damned law. Release the Epstein Files....

If I may rephrase that...

Follow the damned law you signed into law. Release the Epstein Files.

All we are seeing have been excuses by the DoJ.

And now we are seeing that the DoJ is downgrading child-abuse crimes.

What is Pres Trump apparently trying to cover up?
