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.

    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.

    “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.

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

    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”

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

    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.

    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’

    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.”

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

      Because “flood the zone” is an incredibly effective tactic against Americans who can’t stay focused on something longer than one day. Each time something horrific comes out in the news they can just tell people to look at Trump’s ankles instead. Oh and then we get a very professional doctor’s opinion that Trump is the greatest, healthiest president we’ve ever had with the physique of a college athlete.
