Higbie is correct on this one. A lot of republican, Trump supporters are
growing
weary of the lack of holding people accountable. It's one investigation after
another after another and then another and nobody ends up in orange jumpsuits.
I have expressed my dissatisfaction with Bondi, DOJ, Congress and so forth as
far
as their effectiveness in actually prosecuting people is concerned.
The republicans are going to lose their base if they are unwilling or inept at
investigations. Bondi sending a stern letter doesn't cut it.
As for the redactions, with 3.5 million pages, mistakes are going to happen.
The average person reads ~ 200k - 500k pages via average size books in a
lifetime.
Rough estimate of course but the idea is 3.5 million pages is a LOT of reading
even for teams of people dividing the work.
As I have made clear many times, I support the victims and the book should be
thrown
at people where evidence clearly shows they were involved in sexual assaults
against
women.
That goes for all sides. Republican, Democrat and others.
At the same time, those having lunch, dinner, meetings etc with Epstein should
not
be villified. simply having Epstein as an associate while obviously a poor
choice
doesn't mean they were involved with the Epstein Island house of horrors.
Again that goes for all sides. Republican, Democrat and others.
