President Donald Trump says he has ordered the justice department to produce additional documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval," he said.

It's unclear if Trump is authorising the public release of these documents. Such action would typically require court approval.

Yeah Bondi, slap together some more doctored BS to tell whatever story you need to tell. Maybe more "raw unedited footage" pasted together and missing 3 minutes.

Y'all are getting too hung up on the word "produce" when the real issue is that a grand jury transcript is a miniscule subset of the documents people actually want to see.

[–] SuperCub@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 hours ago

We want the full video of the cell. Fucking deep state fucker.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago

it would be heavily redacted of trump, or any of the donors.

"Also, I don't draw pictures," Trump said on social media in response to the story.

Of course he doesn't draw pictures. Artistic creation would require one to have a soul or some sense of joy.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

He does draw, he has several doodles with his stupid signature. None have any soul.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 hours ago

"Shredding them now, Sir!"

[–] plz1@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, they can start with the actual unedited video.

[–] localhost443@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 17 hours ago

Knowing how incompetent they are, I won't be surprised if they release a spreadsheet with a second tab they don't notice labelled "Donald's rape list"

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago

This is like trying to get his tax returns... 😒

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Sounds like the files have been "fixed" so the orange rapist's name won't be found on the new and improved documents. All okay now.

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 141 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Cue the news conference where she pulls out a 2000 page binder that she claims are the documents, only to just be blank pages.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 5 hours ago

2000pages, thats pretty heavy

[–] quinceyBones@lemmy.zip 78 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I heard Trump has binders full of children.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

It's an old reference, but it checks out.

I'm sure they will somehow, implicate Joe Binder in it.

Wait, didn't they say there are NO files? What files are they gonna release? The inconsistencies here will blow some people's minds.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They converted it into a pdf.

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

I need that nothing to PDF converter! oh, it's just grok? nevermind..

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There is no Excel spreadsheet named Epsteins_Client_List.xslx

Ergo, no files.

duh, because it's .xlsx

[–] Brokkr@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

These seem like the kind of people who use spaces, not underscores, in their file names.

also i bet they don't use spreadsheets... more like pdf files 🥁

Sounds like the Dumbass-in-Chief wants that twat to throw together a list of names and claim it's the Epstein list. Bet all the names will be Democrats.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

that twat

I once used the word "twat" around my then-girlfriend. She said "you're pronouncing that wrong." WTF? "It's pronounced twah." Turns out she thought I and everybody else who used that word were trying to say the French word toit. No idea why she thought people were trying to use "roof" as an insult.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's pronounced ruff.

[–] i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 22 hours ago

Made this joke at work. It'll be

  • Colin Kaepernick
  • Obama's wife(not even Michelle it'll just say Obama's wife)
  • Greta Thunberg
[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 4 points 1 day ago

That made me laugh out loud. It will probably say Obama Wife

Please let this backfire spectacularly

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 day ago (12 children)

I don't see how it could possibly help him. It's just going to keep the story in the media, longer it stays in the news cycle the bigger it snowballs.

The key word is pertinent:

Pertinent

n. Anything that doesn’t portray Trump in a bad light while simultaneously harming his perceived foes, as determined by Donald J. Trump and/or Pam Bondi at the formers discretion.

Plus, the Grand Jury testimony is only a small fraction of the ‘files’

“Produce”, as in “fabricate” or “forge”

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

I don't think there is a more direct way of saying "you want epstein files? Fine I will produce some fake files and release them. You will eat those files like eating shit all the while knowing they are fake, because that is what you are. You are my little shit eaters."

[–] Kurious84@eviltoast.org 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Prepare for fake documents. Finally People can read this moron like a book. Lies and fake shit.
