President Donald Trump says he has ordered the justice department to produce additional documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval," he said.

It's unclear if Trump is authorising the public release of these documents. Such action would typically require court approval.

Yeah Bondi, slap together some more doctored BS to tell whatever story you need to tell. Maybe more "raw unedited footage" pasted together and missing 3 minutes.

Wait, didn't they say there are NO files? What files are they gonna release? The inconsistencies here will blow some people's minds.

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

There is no Excel spreadsheet named Epsteins_Client_List.xslx

Ergo, no files.

[-] Brokkr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

These seem like the kind of people who use spaces, not underscores, in their file names.

also i bet they don't use spreadsheets... more like pdf files 🥁

duh, because it's .xlsx

Sounds like the Dumbass-in-Chief wants that twat to throw together a list of names and claim it's the Epstein list. Bet all the names will be Democrats.

[-] Geobloke@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

If democratic personnel are thrown under the bus, they'll drag everyone else down with them.

If there was anything worth seeing surely Ghislane would've used it to get out of jail

Cue the news conference where she pulls out a 2000 page binder that she claims are the documents, only to just be blank pages.

[-] quinceyBones@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

I heard Trump has binders full of children.

[-] bookmeat@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 week ago

Binder? I don't even know her!

[-] AreaKode@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Never stopped Trump before!

[-] TheCleric@lemmy.org 1 points 1 week ago

Man those were simpler times—kinda. But the tea party era led us directly to where we are now

[-] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It's an old reference, but it checks out.

I'm sure they will somehow, implicate Joe Binder in it.

Nah they will inexplicably only name Democrats, there won’t be a single Republican name in there

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

2000pages, thats pretty heavy

[-] SuperCub@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

We want the full video of the cell. Fucking deep state fucker.

[-] skisnow@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

"Also, I don't draw pictures," Trump said on social media in response to the story.

Of course he doesn't draw pictures. Artistic creation would require one to have a soul or some sense of joy.

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

He does draw, he has several doodles with his stupid signature. None have any soul.

[-] tatterdemalion@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

Y'all are getting too hung up on the word "produce" when the real issue is that a grand jury transcript is a miniscule subset of the documents people actually want to see.

[-] localhost443@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago

Knowing how incompetent they are, I won't be surprised if they release a spreadsheet with a second tab they don't notice labelled "Donald's rape list"

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Please let this backfire spectacularly

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I don't see how it could possibly help him. It's just going to keep the story in the media, longer it stays in the news cycle the bigger it snowballs.

It won't, they'll produce a bunch of falsified documents implicating everybody but TACO, and half the country will accept it as gospel.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, this sounds like "make me a list that I can use to target the rich people that don't like me".

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

it would probably be heavily redacted documents, or the same ones that was already released.

[-] vegeta@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The key word is pertinent:

Pertinent

n. Anything that doesn’t portray Trump in a bad light while simultaneously harming his perceived foes, as determined by Donald J. Trump and/or Pam Bondi at the formers discretion.

Plus, the Grand Jury testimony is only a small fraction of the ‘files’

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Grok or openai?

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

it would be heavily redacted of trump, or any of the donors.

[-] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 2 points 1 week ago

Prepare for fake documents. Finally People can read this moron like a book. Lies and fake shit.

[-] nulluser@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Or, more likely, heavily cherry picked.

See, there's nothing incriminating in THESE documents, so you can trust when we say that there's nothing incriminating in the rest of them, either.

[-] plz1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, they can start with the actual unedited video.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Springtime for Hitler

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

List aside, did I miss why we aren't still talking about the 3 missing minutes and Adobe edited surveillance footage of the prison?

I don't think there is a more direct way of saying "you want epstein files? Fine I will produce some fake files and release them. You will eat those files like eating shit all the while knowing they are fake, because that is what you are. You are my little shit eaters."

[-] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Didn’t they already do this? And found nothing?

I hate to say this, but Epstein/Trump stories feel like the real distraction. It's long been known that Trump is connected with Epstein, that he's a certified sex pest, and that he's creepy about kids (including his own daughter). It's been default knowledge that Trump is a pedo creep, yet people seem to think that even smoking gun evidence will make some sort of difference.

Almost nobody will seriously change where that stand based on anything that could possibly revealed. On the other hand, the economy is in shambles, the government in shreds, and there are actual fucking concentration camps that people are getting disappeared to.

There is too much horror in the moment for me to fret so much about these horrors from the past. Epstein will not harm anyone else, but unknown high level child sex rings will. Everyone around Epstein getting revealed will not bring retribution to many culprits, nor will it change the root causes of such unaccountable abuse.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

he needed distraction on how bad the BBB was, epstein files kinda backfired a little.

“Produce”, as in “fabricate” or “forge”
