    They wanted them flagged so that they would have levels of evidence never before seen in the history of the Country, that Trump is the most innocent man of all time, except for maybe Jesus. They wanted billions and billions of comparisons to show big bad Epstein as opposed to “Puppy & Rainbow” Trump.

      No they will absolutely still pull some funny stuff. I imagine they’ll just use the old ‘in two weeks’ trick. It always works for them so why not.

    “According to information my office received, the FBI was pressured to put approximately 1,000 personnel in its Information Management Division (IMD) … on 24-hour shifts to review approximately 100,000 Epstein-related records in order to produce more documents that could then be released on an arbitrarily short deadline,” Durbin wrote to Patel.

    “This effort, which reportedly took place from March 14 through the end of March, was haphazardly supplemented by hundreds of FBI New York Field Office personnel, many of whom lacked the expertise to identify statutorily-protected information regarding child victims and child witnesses or properly handle FOIA requests,” the letter said.

    “My office was told that these personnel were instructed to ‘flag’ any records in which President Trump was mentioned.”

    Durbin then referenced a well-known quote by Trump about Epstein, made to a magazine when they were still friends.

    "Notably, in 2002, Mr. Trump said of Mr. Epstein, ‘I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side,’ " Durbin wrote.

      GOP FBI: “There are no records.”

      GOP FBI: “ok, ok, there are only 100,000 records. It’s like nothing ok.”

        How many FBI agents doesn it take to make Trump look innocent?

        They can’t, it only makes him look more guilty

      maybe some Republicans who have fallen out of Trump’s favor

      Trump is just an ongoing loyalty test. This shit is no different than the rest of it.

    Well, obviously you would flag any evidence that Hunter Biden had hacked into the FBI and fabricated these giant heaping piles of evidence that trump is a child raper.

    “Flag” as in “Future Eyes Only, do not open before 2100”?
