Ladies & Gentlemen, a year ago could you ever have imagined the DOJ posting a message like this on their official Acct?



For those who can't see the post, it says:
Because the law requires us to release all documents related to Jeffrey Epstein in our possession so that’s what we are doing, you dope. Are you suggesting we break the law?

Readers then added this context note:
In fact, the DOJ is already breaking the law by failing to release the full Epstein files by the 12/19/25 deadline.

DOJ Slammed For Childish Response To Question About 'Fake' Epstein Letter
The Department of Justice’s social media account was slammed on Wednesday for its childish response to a question about the Jeffrey Epstein files.

One of the items the DOJ released Tuesday was a letter Epstein allegedly wrote to Larry Nassar, a former doctor for the U.S. women’s national gymnastics team who pleaded guilty in 2017 to abusing children, in which he suggested President Donald Trump shared their “love” of young girls.

After that letter was released, the DOJ took to X, formerly Twitter, and claimed that the Epstein-Nassar letter was fake, saying the signature did not match Epstein’s handwriting and the letter was “postmarked three days after Epstein’s death out of Northern Virginia, when he was jailed in New York.”

The DOJ then said that “this fake letter serves as a reminder that just because a document is released by the Department of Justice does not make the allegations or claims within the document factual.”

It’s already out there. Real or not it will be repeated forever and is planted in people’s brains. They’ve (the whole rightwing) has lived off the massive repetition of lies for decades. Gee now they know what it feels like.
