(346 posts)Releasing the Grand Jury proceedings would take a judge's order. That is why Trump is calling on them to be released, his people know the judge will probably deny the request. The rest of the evidence is in the FBI's hands and Trump could order that released. Instead Bondi ordered an extra 1000 FBI agents to scour those files for any mention of Trump. Doubt we'll be seeing that evidence anytime soon.
If maga falls for the distraction of this ploy, then he thinks he can't lose. If the judge denies it, he will scream about liberal activist judges. If the judge grants it, he probably has little to no mention in the grand jury transcripts and will say: see, I told you so.
Remember, Epstein and Maxwell were the only ones indicted. The grand jury info will have plenty of references to them, but probably little about other people. The DoJ would only need to show the evidence against those it was intent on prosecuting. They would leave out any evidence they didn't need to show to get indictments against Epstein and Maxwell. Either to avoid dragging through the mud anyone they weren't going to prosecute or to avoid tipping off someone they were still investigating.
That last point is one that blows my mind. This non-lawyer knows enough to have the perfect excuse to placate maga and the AG isn't smart enough to pick up on it. They just need to say, they can't release it right now because of an on going investigation. As soon as all the evidence is collected, charges will be filed and the evidence will be made public. Of course, it's too late for that now, it would just be them changing the story yet again and deepening the cover up.
I'm actually enjoying watching the smoke roll out of maga ears over the contradictions in all this. From the beginning, they've been told that democrats and coastal elites were trafficking children for sex, then killing them to harvest adrenochrome. Trump and other republicans have stoked those conspiracies to their electoral benefit. Now maga is so invested in the idea the Clintons and other liberals have been getting away with these crimes, they can't accept it was all bullshit. They demand justice "for the children" and now Trump and Rs are trapped because they can't deliver what they promised. Maga can't accept that they were wrong and can't accept the possibility that Trump might be the predator they were looking for all along.
