      From the sounds of it, the contents will be coming out piecemeal. So we’ll get a couple of names here, a couple of names there.

      “So there will be names that *AREN’T* released?”
      “Sounds like it.”
      “So this could be used as a weapon against certain people but other names will remain hidden?”
      “Sounds like it.”Report

    Florida’s Anna Palina Luna wrote the FBI for a formal response on the Epstein, JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr files.

    They sent back a letter saying:

    Thank you for your letters to the Department of Justice (Department) dated February 11, 2025, and February 19, 2025. We are sending an identical response to the other Member who joined your letters.

    In your letters, you requested briefing about any documents in the Department’s possession relating to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein and about the declassification of records regarding the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. pursuant to Executive Order 14176. You also requested written confirmation of the date and location of those records’ release.

    The integrity of criminal investigations and prosecutions is essential to every component of the Department’s mission to uphold the rule of law, keep our nation safe, and protect civil rights. The Department remains committed to meeting its legal recordkeeping obligations as it pursues that mission. We are reviewing your requests and look forward to engaging further to accommodate your oversight and legislative needs.

    We hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact this office if we may provide additional assistance regarding this or any other matter.

    Okay.

    What’s the first thing we notice there? That’s right: Diddly Squat.

    That’s what they told her. Diddly.

    Reading as charitably as possible, I’d say that they said that there are ongoing criminal investigations and potential prosecutions.

    That said, it only really makes sense that there would be those things for Epstein and it doesn’t make sense that there would be ongoing criminal investigations and potential prosecutions for JFK, RFK, or MLK Jr.

    So I’m mostly just saying that we’re going to have jam to-morrow, just like we had jam yesterday.Report

    “In Trump’s Washington, a Moscow-Like Chill Takes Hold

    A new administration’s efforts to pressure the news media, punish political opponents and tame the nation’s tycoons evoke the early days of President Vladimir V. Putin’s reign in Russia.”

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/us/politics/trump-putin-russia.html?rsrc=ss&unlocked_article_code=1.0E4.pb0U.r_TPLHt10mMI&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

    “The news media is being pressured. Lawmakers have been tamed. Career officials deemed disloyal are being fired. Prosecutors named by a president who promised “retribution” are targeting perceived adversaries and dropping cases against allies or others who do his bidding. Billionaire tycoons who once considered themselves masters of the universe are prostrating themselves before him.

    Judges who temporarily block administration decisions that they believe may be illegal are being threatened with impeachment. The uniformed military, which resisted being used as a political instrument in Mr. Trump’s first term, has now been purged of its highest-ranking officers and lawyers. And a president who calls himself “the king,” ostensibly in jest, is teasing that he may try to stay in power beyond the limits of the Constitution.

    Some versions of this are not new, of course. Other presidents have taken actions that looked heavy-handed or put pressure on opponents. No president in my experience at the White House, which goes back to 1996, particularly liked news coverage of him, and certainly there have been times when journalists were penalized for their reporting.”Report
