49. Biden was sworn into office in January, 2021.
Mon Mar 2, 2026, 02:31 AM

Look I loath Trump and his gang of grifting racist criminals. But god damn it why didn't the Biden Department of Justice react to the information that was available to them? Epstein was (supposedly) dead, his crimes were well known, the FBI had tons of information on him i.e. the files that are trickling out now, yet no one did a bloody thing about it!

I don't buy the "Maxwell was working the appeals process" because there were millions of documents that had nothing to do with her case. Besides a convicted defendant cannot introduce new evidence in an appeal so releasing the files wouldn't have affected her appeal at all.

I'd really like to see an actual reason why Garland sat on this.
