I'd say so. In normal times one might expect the DOJ to avoid obstructing. Not sure there is any significant penalty. Silent Type Dec 20 #4

For me, until Republican voters wash out their brains and STOP voting for liars and haters, We are stuck.

Yes, there’s been many positive court decisions .

But…the problem is that republican voters want their party to pull every dirty trick and unlawful activity ….including tossing the constitution into a bonfire.

Even when the orange blob is unalive, there is many, many who will continue on the path of sedition and violence.

We will push hard for 2026 midterms . We will not give up. But we expect widespread cheating and voting manipulation.

We have broken through the ice.

Could take years to litigate whether redactions complied with law. Now, midterms might be an impact.

Honestly, trump admin has obstructed justice so much in Epstein case that if nothing else is released, people susceptible to rejecting trump will believe the worst.
