As expected. Grand Jury records are sealed for a reason and very seldom opened.

The cynic might say Trump and Bondi knew this would be the result all along and went along with the game to appease those demanding “moar Epstein” when the Boss wanted them to let it go.

There is real law.
And there is Dorkbama (the Muslim eunuch quote president) judge “law”.
They are on opposite sides of the universe.

Daily Mail headline had it as bad news for Blondi.

Not so sure about that.

As a conspiracy theorist, maybe that was the plan.

Offering something that they suspected wouldn’t be approved in the first plan.

That way Blondi has just a tad bit of cover to say we wanted to release more but Trump’s enemies in the judicial branch would have none of it.

But in reality nothing is taking Blondi off the hook, she will have to face a public questioning at some point.

"District Judge Paul Engelmayer said in a four-page order, filed Tuesday."
How does she inject herself into the case?

Judge overseeing DOJ Epstein grand jury records request asks for more information ABC News.

This is just a delaying tactic for both sides.

The judge said that he wants more detailed info on just exactly what is to be released, a reasonable request.

Obviously not ALL info is pertinent to the case at hand, so the DOJ will have to write a detailed listing of just exactly what they want released. Which will, of necessity, take a large amount of time..................

Both Obama judges. And really, we all know that Grand Jury testimony is always sealed.

Exceptions are rare.

The bottom line...what the hell are people trying to find out...that will change the course of events. They don't even know.

How many of these (I need names) have read Bondi's original release in February which has names up the kazoo.

Yes, while completely ignoring things that she can do without a Judge.

Maybe Bondi is not aware that CIA name trace can be done in a few weeks or look at the pay ledgers.

ROFLMAO.

@grok
For effective FOIA or database searches on Epstein’s alleged intelligence ties:

- DOJ: “Epstein intelligence contact”, “Epstein asset recovery”, “Acosta OPR report”, “Epstein proprietary airline”.

- CIA: “Epstein name trace”, “Epstein Mossad liaison”, “Epstein kompromat operations”.

Start with FBI Vault for released files. Ties remain speculative per July 2025 DOJ memo.

GJ testimony is supposed to stay sealed. The judge is just asking for a detailed listing of what is to be released. A reasonable request.

Obviously not all testimony is germane to the case and should stay sealed................

Wouldn’t that be Engelmayer’s call?
The question remains, how did she insert herself into his case?

Two other judges are currently hearing this as well. Is Trump allowed by law to unseal these grand jury docs if he wanted to

“The Justice Department has separately asked New York-based Judge Paul Engelmayer, also an Obama appointee, to unseal grand jury records related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking cases.”

There were two investigations, NY and FL, so two judges have to be placated................

What is she supposed to reveal if the court records ( containing evidence and naming names and witnesses) cannot be legally revealed? Hmmm?

Maybe Epstein drove past your house once, did a legit business deal with a member of your family or friends or a company you did business with, attended a party you were at, donated to a charity you also support, or …

Presto you are associated with him and therefore…in the “ files”

Watch how vociferously the Left tries to keep the GJ testimony sealed. That will tell you all you need...........

REALLY IRONIC:

OBAMA GOT HIS US SENATOR FROM ILLINOIS POSITION BY UNSEALING THE DIVORCE RECORDS OF HIS OPPONENT: JACK RYAN.

RYAN DROPPED OUT OF THE ELECTION

What we need are the DOJ records. Especially those from the FBI raid on the Island. No judge can suppress those.
