Today I learned that trump's Department of Justice (DOJ) is so hard-pressed for help, it no longer requires someone to have 1-year experience as a practicing lawyer before working for the DOJ.
(I suppose loyalty and a law license are enough...)

The rapid sequence of events on Monday in the courtroom of Judge Zahid N. Quraishi was the latest indication of growing tensions between the #DOJ & the federal #judiciary in NJ. It came during the scheduled sentencing of a man who last year agreed to plead guilty to possession of child pornography.
The hearing did not go as prosecutors had planned. Judge Quraishi grew frustrated with the office’s head of appeals, Mark Coyne, who had not formally disclosed that he would appear, & fiercely interrogated a more junior prosecutor about whether the former interim #USattorney, #AlinaHabba, still had some role in operating the office.
Judge Quraishi eventually threw Coyne out.
The judge then ordered the 3 leaders of the NJ office, who last week were found to be occupying their positions unlawfully, to appear next month to testify about their office’s leadership structure. Attorney General #PamBondi appointed the unconventional three-person leadership team in December after #AlinaHabba was also found to be unlawfully appointed & was disqualified. The leaders are Philip Lamparello, Jordan Fox & Ari Fontecchio.
This is pretty pointless. She never answers a question straight.

#EdMartin was removed from the top prosecutor job in DC after senators made clear he would not be confirmed to the role, but has remained at the #DOJ in several roles, including as pardon attorney.
“Mr. Martin knew or should have known that, as a government official, his conduct violated the First & Fifth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States,” Fox wrote.
Martin is being represented by a DOJ attorney, a source told CNN.
#EdMartin is formally accused of violating his ethical codes as an #attorney for telling #Georgetown Law’s dean last year that his #DOJ office wouldn’t hire students because of the school’s #diversity, #inclusion & #equity initiatives programs, according to the filing from Hamilton Fox, the disciplinary counsel for DC who acts as a quasi-prosecutor on attorney discipline matters.
Finally! This man is all kinds of wrong.

The proposal would give the #USattorney general the right to review misconduct allegations against current or former #DOJ #attorneys & request that disciplinary authorities at the state level suspend their investigations.
That would mean that the #US AG, by dragging out such a review, could stall any such investigation.

For instance, an attorney #ethics panel in Washington recommended last year that #JeffreyClark, a senior #DOJ official during Trump's first term as president, be #disbarred for conduct involving dishonesty.
Clark sought to enlist the DOJ in Trump's failed attempts to overturn his #2020election loss based on false claims of widespread voter fraud. A DC appeals court has yet to make the final determination on #disbarment.

As a result, #KashPatel hamstrung the Washington, DC-based #FBI #counterintelligence unit, known as CI-12, which handles cases ranging from mishandling of classified documents to tracking foreign #spies operating on #US soil.
The dismissals have added to concern inside the #DOJ & FBI that counterterrorism & #intelligence investigations in the wake of the #military operation in #Iran could be hampered by a mass exodus of #NationalSecurity experts, acc/to multiple sources.
And like the CI-12 unit, several senior
officials were ousted or reassigned because of their involvement in #Trump related investigations, sources say. The removals have cost the #DOJ & #FBI decades of combined experience in identifying the types of #threats that sources say could appear in the wake of Operation Epic Fury.

The DOJ failed to release Epstein files containing allegations Trump sexually abused a minor.
"Additional files include 50 pages of FBI interviews & notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse when she was a minor."
AG Pam Bondi told Congress that "no records were withheld or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, incl to any govt official," etc.
I've hinted at this (below) before, as we've watched the #USA slide into #fascism. But with #ICE and the #DoJ now routinely ignoring court orders, or engaging in malicious compliance, and offering obviously bad-faith arguments about how their actions didn't actually violate court orders, it's become pretty apparent that the #immigration issue is the one driving this #lawless #government.
Did I say immigration? Sorry, I meant the #racist issue. The administration has been very clear and very explicit about their actual goals - bragging about how they're going to "restore" #America with 100,000,000 #deportations. That's basically the number of non-white people in the #country, most of whom were born in the USA and are lawful, #inalienable #citizens. Then there are the slogans and mottos stolen directly from the #Nazis, talking about #purifying Germany and all the rest. They are not being subtle about this.
Building #concentration camps is a pretty solid clue, too. The death #camps in #WWII started out like this, trying to #deport people. But when you can't move fast enough, well, you gotta do something, right? So #gas chambers and #crematoriums... ICE isn't meeting its #deportation quotas, so they're letting people die of neglect and abuse. It'll get there.
So, the point: if (big IF) #USAnians can recover their #country, it won't really be over until #Stephen #Miller meets his end after a short #drop and sudden stop at the #Hague.
#DOJ reviewing if #EpsteinFiles with #Trump allegations were “wrongly” withheld

"The American people demand transparency & accountability, & any further delay by the Department continues to deny justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes," he wrote. "#DOJ must specify the exact grounds for the withholding of #FBI interviews containing specific allegations against President #Trump, as well as provide an update on the status of any ongoing investigations into allegations of #SexualAssault against President Trump."
“We are witnessing a White House #CoverUp of serious allegations against the President by a survivor.

"I wanted to focus your attention on a genuine piece of news out of the Epstein Files, even weeks after their original release. In 2019, a woman came forward and spoke to the FBI claiming that Donald Trump had assaulted her in the early 1980s. In her allegations, Jeffrey Epstein essentially provided her to Trump."
~ Josh Marshall
"Other files in the Epstein trove say that the FBI conducted four interviews with the woman. But only one of them was released in the larger trove — one that detailed her accusations against Epstein. Meanwhile, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, says he went to view the unredacted version of the files that members of Congress can access and the missing interviews aren’t there either."
“'We did not protect President Trump.'
That is what Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said on January 30, after what he described as the final release of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
It turns out that was not true."
~ Judd Legum
"According to a new report by NPR, the DOJ is withholding 'more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, as well as notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.' The New York Times also reported Wednesday that the DOJ withheld summaries of three FBI interviews with the woman about her interactions with Trump."
"They released a fourth FBI interview, where the woman made allegations about Epstein.
The missing files were first discovered by independent journalist Roger Sollenberger.
The failure to disclose the interviews about Trump and related files seemingly puts the administration in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act."
"The revelation that FBI interviews with the woman about Trump are being withheld raises serious questions. Why did the FBI interview the woman three times regarding her interactions with Trump? Why has the DOJ gone to such extremes to keep these interviews from the public?"
The DOJ failed to release Epstein files containing allegations Trump sexually abused a minor.
"Additional files include 50 pages of FBI interviews & notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse when she was a minor."
AG Pam Bondi told Congress that "no records were withheld or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, incl to any govt official," etc.
"MS Now reports that the Department of Justice instructed internal reviewers to flag FBI interview memoranda prior to producing the most recent tranche of Epstein related files. This follows earlier reporting from MS Now indicating that the DOJ appears to have withheld memoranda documenting three interviews with a woman who accused both Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump of sexual assault."

"In a separate and deeply troubling development, I spoke this morning with a Jane Doe Epstein survivor who confirmed that shortly before the President’s State of the Union address, the Department of Justice reuploaded documents that publicly exposed her name."
"Her name was listed more than a dozen times, according to the survivor, in what she described as a major violation of the law designed to protect victims of sexual abuse. She characterized the disclosure as intimidation. The timing of the release has raised serious concerns among advocates and lawmakers about the handling of sensitive victim information."
ICE murder coverups are just a step away from "disappearing" people.
“Using my expertise as an American, yes...
It is very concerning and not typical for a death that is committed by a federal agent to be hidden from the public for almost a year. We should all, as Americans, be alarmed by that. If that happens to one American, that can happen to any of us. We need to shine a light on what is happening and know the facts.”

The woman joined a lawsuit later in 2019 against Epstein’s estate. She subsequently dropped her claim. Court records do not indicate if she received any financial settlement. A court record from 2021 said she was separately deemed ineligible for compensation from a fund set up for #Epstein victims, but it did not specify why.

Under the #law, the #DOJ can redact material that could be used to identify Epstein’s victims, depicted violence or child sexual abuse, or would hurt a continuing federal investigation.

"The average age for disclosing child sexual abuse is between 40 and 50! Because it is not the perpetrators who usually get their lives ruined. Children don’t want to rock the boat with what is most often someone close to the family and respected, and a lot of parents are understandably reluctant to put their child through a legal process that can re-traumatize them for years."
"It’s a nail in the coffin of the credibility of the DOJ and FBI, and not just under Trump, but with prosecutors turning a blind eye going all the way back to the administration of George Dubya Bush. …
This country is long past due for a reckoning. Studies show that one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday, and 98 percent of sexual-abuse perpetrators go free."
"Right on the heels of Trump’s FBI claiming that the files showed NO evidence that Jeffrey Epstein ran a sex trafficking ring, a tranche of files — including some from the FBI itself — came out showing quite otherwise. And, like, not to mention Epstein was charged with sex trafficking in 2019 by Trump’s own DOJ, and not for just soliciting child prostitutes for personal use."

The missing files are about accusations that Trump sexually assaulted a child and hit her in the head. The FBI interviewed the accuser four times and the DOJ has not released the interview notes.
All allegations of Trump wrongdoing are worth watching. But this one is especially worth watching because it has three properties:
1. It's serious.
2. It's well-documented. (Thanks to #NPR.)
3. It's one that many #MAGA voters and politicians take seriously.
Hundreds of Trump scandals have the first two properties. Almost none has the third.
This creates the prospect of actual accountability.
"An NPR investigation found that the Justice Department withheld or removed dozens of Epstein-related documents mentioning allegations against President Trump, including about 53 pages of FBI interview records tied to two women who accused him of sexual abuse as minors, despite a law requiring full release," (continued in /23)

Jay Kuo provides a sobering rundown of important reasons that, though Trump and his sycophants claim he has been "exonerated" in the Epstein discussion, the opposite is true — and more information (and more damning information) will almost certainly come to light.

"The more that other nations hold their citizens and leaders to account for their ties to Epstein, the more pressure will build in the US to do the same. As always, the point is justice for the victims. But we cannot ignore the fact that for Trump and Republicans, the political consequences of their continuing coverup is part of the process of accountability."

These grifters have no shame.
An #FBI interview report related to #Epstein in 2011 shows agents were told someone “provided an erotic massage to Leslie Wexner in New York.” The individual’s name is redacted in the publicly released file, but statements in the interview overlap with those made elsewhere by #VirginiaGiuffre, one of the most prominent Epstein victims.
#LesWexner #EpsteinFiles #Congress #DOJ #law #criminal #rape #ChildSexCrimes #pedohilia #SexTrafficking #CoverUp
During a deposition for a civil case in 2016, #VirginiaGiuffre was asked whether #LesWexner was “one of the powerful business executives” to whom she had been trafficked. “Yes,” she responded.
Wexner has repeatedly denied that allegation.
#EpsteinFiles #Congress #DOJ #law #criminal #Epstein #rape #ChildSexCrimes #pedohilia #SexTrafficking #CoverUp
A spox pointed to a court document in which one of Wexner’s attorneys stated, “Mr. Wexner was unaware of, and was never a participant in, any of the abhorrent behavior engaged in by #Epstein against Epstein’s victims, that Mr. Wexner had never met Ms. Giuffre, & that any claims to the contrary were not true.”
#LesWexner #VirginiaGiuffre #EpsteinFiles #Congress #DOJ #law #criminal #rape #ChildSexCrimes #pedohilia #SexTrafficking #CoverUp
But #Epstein repeatedly talked about #LesWexner or sought to contact him in the years that followed. In one 2010 message released by the #DOJ, Epstein appeared to gripe that someone in Wexner’s office “would not confirm” his email address. Other messages show Epstein associates sending him info about Wexner-related business interests or organizations.
While Wexner may have sought to cut all ties, authorities were still trying to untangle the nature of his long relationship with Epstein.
In the mid-2000’s, police in Florida opened an investigation into #Epstein after receiving a report from the parent of a 14-year-old girl that Epstein had #SexuallyAbused the #minor. Around that time, Epstein informed #LesWexner he was having “legal problems involving an overly aggressive police chief & some sort of massage,” acc/to the memo.
#EpsteinFiles #Congress #DOJ #law #criminal #rape #ChildSexCrimes #pedohilia #SexTrafficking #CoverUp
A handwritten note released by the #DOJ shows an investigator spoke to an attorney for #LesWexner in 2007, who said his client was “advanced in age & has no interaction with his ‘money manager.’” At the time, Wexner was in his late 60s, served as CEO of the company Limited Brands & remained in that position for more than a decade after.
#EpsteinFiles #Congress #DOJ #law #criminal #Epstein #rape #ChildSexCrimes #pedohilia #SexTrafficking #CoverUp
Still, documents released in the trove of files this year revive long-simmering questions about Wexner’s decades-old dealings with the now-infamous #SexOffender & offer new insight into what investigators uncovered.
In one undated message, #Epstein appeared to hint at secrets shared between the two men.
#LesWexner #EpsteinFiles #Congress #DOJ #law #criminal #Trump #rape #ChildSexCrimes #pedohilia #SexTrafficking #CoverUp
“You and I had ‘gang stuff’ for over 15 years,” #Epstein wrote in a typo-filled letter addressed to “Les.” “I have never once, not once, done anything , but protect your interests. I owe a great debt to you, as frankly you owe to me.” The message added, “I had no intention of divulging any confidence of ours.” The specifics of what the letter referred to—& whether Epstein even sent the message—are unclear.
#LesWexner #EpsteinFiles #Congress #DOJ #law #criminal #Trump #rape #pedohilia #CoverUp
#Epstein entered Wexner’s orbit in the 1980s when a mutual friend recommended Epstein as a financial adviser. #LesWexner, who was building the retail empire that made him a #billionaire, drafted him to help with investments, acc/to a federal memo that describes statements from Wexner’s attorneys.
“Based on positive reports from several friends, & on my initial dealings with him, I believed I could trust him,” Wexner later wrote in a letter.
A CNN review of the #DOJ’s #Epstein file release found that, while Wexner’s name was initially #redacted in the “co-conspirator” document, his name appears in hundreds of other records that show federal authorities closely scrutinized #LesWexner & repeatedly sought info from him.
That scrutiny included questioning before #Epstein pleaded #guilty to soliciting #prostitution, including from a #minor, in 2008 & again when authorities pursued a #SexTrafficking case against Epstein a decade later.
Emails show authorities wanted to understand whether #LesWexner had knowledge of #Epstein paying girls for sex acts, & officials subpoenaed Wexner in 2019 & spoke to his attorneys. Another 2019 #FBI document lists Wexner as a “secondary” #CoConspirator but notes, “There is limited evidence regarding his involvement.”
#EpsteinFiles #Congress #DOJ #law #criminal #rape #ChildSexCrimes #pedohilia #SexTrafficking #CoverUp
Other records in the #EpsteinFiles include allegations made to the #FBI that #LesWexner interacted with young women & possibly underage girls in #Epstein’s presence. One victim claimed she was trafficked to Wexner—a claim Wexner has denied. Wexner has never been charged with a crime.
Now, members of #Congress have another shot at questioning Wexner, who is 88 yrs old. The retail tycoon is slated to sit for a deposition with the #House #Oversight Cmte Wednesday in Ohio.
#LesWexner has for years denied any wrongdoing related to #Epstein. He said after Epstein’s death he was “embarrassed” that he ever put his trust in the disgraced financier. A spox told CNN that Wexner cooperated with law enforcement & was told in 2019 he “was neither a co-conspirator nor target in any respect.”
#EpsteinFiles #Congress #DOJ #law #criminal #Trump #rape #ChildSexCrimes #pedohilia #SexTrafficking #CoverUp
#Trump admin officials have vehemently rejected accusations they have sought to #CoverUp any crimes related to #Epstein. In Sept, #FBI Director #KashPatel stated there was “no credible information” Epstein had trafficked victims to other men [lying liar who lies]. Testifying to #Congress last week, AG #PamBondi said investigators would “love” to hear more information from any other victims who come forward [so they can bury it].
#LesWexner #EpsteinFiles #DOJ #law #criminal #rape #pedohilia
“This is bigger than Watergate,” #Massie said. “This cover-up spans decades.”
Massie’s comments shined a new spotlight on #LesWexner, the former owner of #VictoriasSecret, who is one of the most mysterious figures in Epstein’s orbit—a key player in helping the financier’s rise to extreme #wealth, whose motivations & ties to #Epstein have long been a source of speculation.

A Republican lawmaker leveled a stunning allegation last week∶ Not only had government documents named a #billionaire retail magnate a #CoConspirator in #JeffreyEpstein’s #SexTrafficking case, the #DOJ had tried to shield the man from #accountability.
