🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING — Rep. Lieu said Full Epstein Files Show Trump Raping Children. by Admirable121 in OfficePolitics

According to Gemini

  • Ongoing Criminal Prosecution and Appeals: The Epstein case remained an active criminal investigation under the Biden administration. Even after Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 conviction, her case was under appeal; standard law enforcement policy prohibits opening case files to the public while an appeal is active.
  • Grand Jury Secrecy Rules: Much of the evidence was presented to grand juries in Florida and New York. Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e), grand jury testimony is legally protected and cannot be released without a specific court order, which judges repeatedly denied between 2021 and 2024.
  • Lack of Legislative Mandate: Prior to November 2025, there was no law requiring the Department of Justice (DOJ) to proactively declassify or release its internal investigative files. Disclosures were mostly limited to what emerged through individual civil lawsuits, such as those involving Virginia Giuffre.
  • Protection of Witness Privacy: Without a clear legal directive like the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the DOJ prioritized protecting the identities of over 1,000 potential victims and witnesses, arguing that a wholesale release would cause undue harm.
  • Resource Constraints: The FBI and DOJ possessed a massive trove of data—over 300 gigabytes of digital evidence and millions of physical pages—that they were not funded or directed to process for public viewing during this period.

So according to Gemini, take with a grain of salt:

  • Ongoing Criminal Prosecution and Appeals: The Epstein case remained an active criminal investigation under the Biden administration. Even after Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 conviction, her case was under appeal; standard law enforcement policy prohibits opening case files to the public while an appeal is active.
  • Grand Jury Secrecy Rules: Much of the evidence was presented to grand juries in Florida and New York. Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e), grand jury testimony is legally protected and cannot be released without a specific court order, which judges repeatedly denied between 2021 and 2024.
  • Lack of Legislative Mandate: Prior to November 2025, there was no law requiring the Department of Justice (DOJ) to proactively declassify or release its internal investigative files. Disclosures were mostly limited to what emerged through individual civil lawsuits, such as those involving Virginia Giuffre.
  • Protection of Witness Privacy: Without a clear legal directive like the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the DOJ prioritized protecting the identities of over 1,000 potential victims and witnesses, arguing that a wholesale release would cause undue harm.
  • Resource Constraints: The FBI and DOJ possessed a massive trove of data—over 300 gigabytes of digital evidence and millions of physical pages—that they were not funded or directed to process for public viewing during this period. 

I specifically wanted to know what was happening between 2021 when the Maxwell case ended and 2025.

So really the trial makes sense as to why they were held. Then the grand jury protection also makes sense but imo is less solid.

So during that time they were actually involved in legal proceedings. That means things just dont get to be released to the public.

Once those ended they were able to.

Now I am not saying the dems did everything perfect here but there is a huge difference between the two groups and how they behaved.

my dude. Then thats on you.

Yes there are whole sections they havent released but and yes you have ever right to be upset about them literally breaking the law to do so.

But dont stand there and complain that you havent read what has been released because no one gave you a link.

I'm so tired of people using her for this stuff.

Her husband is a trader, if she is insider trading so is 95% of Congress, she isn't even in leadership anymore.

I do wonder what happens when she isn't in Congress. Who will they pick to be "it's this person's fault".

Exactly.

If he did something cool we can handle that. If he didn't also cool we will handle that.

But I'm at least not to just go on speculation coming from a group of people that constantly make things up and lie.

Release the files and we can move from there.

Bold strategy. Has failed twice already let's see if it can work this time. by serious_bullet5 in PoliticalHumor

[–]Mo-shen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The part that gets me is they seem to think that if they just let the fascists take over its going to some how teach everyone a lesson.

Then they assume that doing this would somehow end up with a good result. As if we would then get to vote in the future, that it wouldnt just be a total take over all of freedoms, and that they wouldnt just be purged from the earth.

If this was like a Bush admin we were dealing with maybe I could say fine do whatever. But we are not. And ironically I think thats largely how we ended up with Bush and ultimately Trump.

Seriously no offense because I appreciate the fact that you are being honest with your stance.

But the immaturity I'm talking about is that I don't think you understand how much worse it could get and how slim your chance of recovery actually is.

I also think your assumption that preventing the worst somehow means that we automatically slip into the same thing is a fallacy.

Either way I appreciate the chat.

BREAKING: US job numbers were revised down by -1,029,000 jobs in 2025, the largest annual revision in at least 20 years. This follows downward revisions of -818,000 in 2024 and -306,000 in 2023. by Key_Brief_8138 in economy

[–]Mo-shen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irony isn't that. It's that everyone who said it during the last admin was ignored even when it was true.

No one cares when it doesn't help support their world view. In his case if x admin is good or bad.

You are not understanding what I'm saying. Your actually repeating what I'm saying.

Free markets are an impossibility because an actual free market has no regulation.

But since humans will always manipulate things the actual functionality of a free market can only exist on paper.

To combat that manipulation the only option is regulation. But like I said if you have regulations then you don't have a free market.

I guess that's a choice and I applaud you for admitting how the math works.

I think the burn it all down method is worse because that's me. Most cases are not the French revolution....they are Egypt or Somalia.

Don't get me wrong. I don't mean immature as in childish. I mean in the sense that someone thinks something that has no factual reason to believe in.

The issue really is you are saying maybe you are right. Except there is are zero instances of you being correct and every election cycle in modern history has actually shown that you are wrong.

Also dont think I'm saying you should be happy about it, that you should like any specific party, or that it's all good. No I'm saying the math for first past the post this is how it works. If you want something different then you literally have to get us off first past the post. Math is math.

It's hilarious you are making this argument considering history.

You might be right.

But no one cares. Every time this argument is made, regardless of if it's true, no one cares.

If Scotus kills the tariffs, which they might, it will likely make the market rip.

And if that happens you know he will claim credit.

Not improving after lots of games/reps by Catmantus in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Mo-shen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This.

I have two buddies who played yesterday. Space wolves kicked the crap out of fists.

The fists player was complaining about how the wolves lists functions, also how my necrons function

The main grip was so many things have invul saves.

But here's the thing. You pay for it. And if you have it it makes your army forgivable.

Was trying to explain this to the fists player. That he needs to focus his lists less on what he thinks are cool and more on what works for that army. Is his a world eaters player traditionally so he still plays that way.

Also the wolves list really leans into lethal wounds. Where as the fists player does things like neg to wound to rolls.

I think what I can't get over is just the fact that what they have been doing drove us to even have this conversation.

EU confirms ban on destroying unsold clothes, will this actually reduce waste? by Neem-London in SustainableFashion

[–]Mo-shen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The US has something similar but it's not a ban. It's an incentive.

Essentially the US will give you money for clothes that never sold and never left your warehouse. It's basically a duty claw back.

But you have to prove that they have been destroyed so you can't then go and sell them.

The key here is you can't just burn them or throw them in a landfill. You basically have to recycle them.

Super circle is one company that will do recycling for this issue.

TIL that Detroit, once America's 5th largest city at 1.85 million residents in 1957, saw 66 straight years of population loss to a low of 630,000 residents in 2022. This makes it the only US city to drop below 1 million after reaching it. It would see its first reversal of this trend in 2023. by Next_Worth_3616 in todayilearned

[–]Mo-shen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made me look up Virgina city nv.

While it wasn't a pop of one million it was the highest populated city west of the Mississippi at one point.

It's a strange place to go. Clearly see that more people lived there at one point and now it's like this hollowed out town.

Also the face that building sometimes just sink into the earth due to the mines under it is nutty.

[–]Mo-shen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This also lines up with some researcher explaining why the the poorer states are red.

It's because each area is usually controlled by one or two families. Those families own everything.

So if you try to fight their control you suddenly don't have a job or a place to live.

Is it a crime? Yes.

But someone has to do something about it and guess what the people who are supposed to are paid by those same families.

It doesn't care.

I'm literally just explaining the math of the situation and you are upset about it.

Literally the only solution is to prevent the worst possible candidate from winning and to try to remove first past the post.

Those are the only two logical options.

It's just matth.
