    Quite a few Brazil mentions... I wonder if brazilian politicians are involved in this.

    Although there's a search box, a few test queries suggests that most (all?) of the material is scanned paper documents that haven't been OCR'ed and therefore the search function is useless.

    "trump" queries return "no results found".

      Searching "the" returned no results. Just a broken feature.

      The release is supposedly incomplete.

        The judicial branch is violating a decree of the legislative branch in order to cover up the crimes of the executive branch's leader... who is ultimately responsible for enforcement of the legislative branch's decrees.

        Wild. As a Canadian, I'd snap us off from the continent and start paddling North if it were possible.

          DoJ, despite the name, is not part of the judiciary of the United States. It's firmly in the Executive branch. The U.S. Judiciary is quite literally only the Courts and their staff. Anyone with a badge, or arrest powers above the Average Joe is under the umbrella of the Executive.

          This is part of why a hijacked Executive Branch is in it's own way a nigh irrecoverable Constitutional crisis short of a coup from inside the Executive, or a unified and oppositional Congress. There are precious few external-to-the-executive enforcers in other branches capable of actually holding a misbehaving Executive to account. If the President does it, it isn't illegal while he's in office.

          In theory, one of the few that exist that I'm aware of is the Sergeant-at-Arms in the Legislature who can order detainment of those in contempt of Congress. This represents a political, not a traditional judicial detainment, but actually requires a Legislature willing to exercise it's ability to impeach among other things. Also, it may be the case they have to refer external to D.C. arrests through DoJ I think.

          The judiciary, is firmly gated in it's enforcement power to the willingness of the executive to execute.

          > Latest Epstein files release ‘grossly fails to comply with both the spirit and letter of the law’, says congressman

          I wonder if there are any traces of the text inte file. Seems like a fun forensics exercise.

          In this case though, the coverup is likely not even worse than the crime.

          Hey, you found the file with Trump.

          No wonder they spent millions redacting everything.
