DOJ: "We're releasing more than 3 million pages today, and not the 6 million pages that we collected" (Epstein Files)

The Trump administration has announced it will only release half the files it has collected relating to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, renewing fears of an ongoing cover-up.

Amid a flurry of news distractions on Friday—including the stunning arrest of former CNN anchor Don Lemon—Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the department had “completed” its review of the files.

“We’re releasing more than 3 million pages today, and not the 6 million pages that we collected,” Blanche said.

Good. I got it... The law is not what it says, its 50% that I choose to follow.

I am only submitting 50% of my taxes for 2025 (and it goes without saying that I will only provide 50% of my documents to the IRS as well)...

I won't say which 50% of traffic laws I intend to follow, but I would advise other motorists that "right of way" is subjective. Four way stops mean your other three drivers must stop and allow me through first no less than 2 in 4 stops...

Or did I get some of that new policy on laws and compliance wrong?
