Fallon Gallagher, an award-winning legal affairs reporter for MS NOW, appeared on the network over the weekend. The host asked, "The DOJ rollout of these documents, it did not go as the law has required it to go. What went wrong? And what do you think we can expect to see and when?"
According to the reporter, "The biggest thing that went wrong here is that the DOJ was supposed to release all of the Epstein files by last night at 11:59. That has not happened."
"They signaled that that wasn't going to happen on time. So inherently, they're not following the law," she added. "Now, what we've learned today is that one of those photos, at least one of those photos appears to be deleted. There is a photo that is no longer on DOJ's website that included a picture of a drawer with a number of framed photos. One of the photos that's in the drawer is that famous photo that we've seen a number of times of Donald Trump, Melania Trump, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. That photo has mysteriously disappeared. We do not know why that photo has disappeared. We have asked the DOJ why it's disappeared. We do not know yet. So that has now gone away."
She further added, "The big thing about this entire release, though, is that there really isn't that much new that we're learning. I would say that this is more of a compilation rather than a full release. Basically, they've taken public files that have been from court documents, FOIA requests, House oversight drops, and compiled it all in one place with a number of new files from this, this new law."

(60,787 posts)1) That photo has been publicly available for years and is shown often.
2) It was included in the drop. This added a few additional publications of that photo. I never heard anyone dispute the photo, but if they had its inclusion in the drop makes it more official.
3) Taking it down just drew even more attention to it
What is clear is that this was not really a release of FBI investigations or of back up to the indictments of Epstein.

(697 posts)No surprise to me. I remember being surprised that Nixon released the tapes. Republican assholes are not going to make that mistake again. I am surprised they still exist, if they do.
