In this recorded live, I walk through the absolute clown show that unfolded over the weekend as the Department of Justice attempted—and failed—to comply with the law requiring the release of the Epstein files. What should have been a straightforward, legally mandated disclosure instead became a rolling disaster of disappearing documents, unexplained redactions, and transparently bad excuses.
Using reporting from Ron Filipkowski and others, I break down how at least 16 files vanished from the DOJ website after being posted, including images that inconveniently showed Donald Trump alongside Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The DOJ’s response—blaming victim protection while selectively pulling files that caused political embarrassment—only made the cover-up more obvious.
I dig into Todd Blanche’s increasingly incoherent media appearances, the laughable invocation of “attorney-client privilege,” and the broader pattern of Trump-era dysfunction: a confederacy of dunces so incompetent they can’t even hide their own misconduct. We also talk about whistleblowers, congressional oversight efforts, and why independent media keeps catching what legacy outlets miss.
The throughline is simple: this isn’t just corruption—it’s stupid corruption. And while that’s darkly funny, it’s also dangerous. The DOJ isn’t protecting victims. It’s protecting power.
