But this is what the DOJ is doing.
They want to rule on their own privilege claims.
And the types of privilege claims that they're making behind the scenes, and this is why they haven't submitted the report about where their redactions are coming from and what they're withholding, they're claiming deliberative process privilege.
That means internal drafts, internal memos within the FBI, inter and intra office correspondence, attorney client privilege, work product privilege, executive privilege.
so they're making all of these claims to avoid producing those millions of documents which may be highly highly relevant i just want to put that out from the outset also i want to say from the outset that the survivors are absolutely furious right now because they've been outed in these files over and over again this the task
that Trump DOJ had since last February is just protect the survivors' names and release all of the files.
And instead, the Trump regime is still withholding 3 million plus documents, and that's documents.
Those may be 20, 30, 40 pages per document, which is why I say there may be 50 million pages of 3 million documents still outstanding.
but you were able to identify the survivors' names, addresses, social security, and other identifying information.
There was an entire file that we were able to access at the Midas Touch Network that had photographs of underage girls.
and minors that were just out there.
And we had to reach out.
As much as I didn't want to reach out to the DOJ or have any contact, we flagged it with Aaron Parnas for the DOJ and said, take this down.
There's underage girls in your file.
What the hell are you doing?
And so think about the retraumatizing of these victims and survivors that photos of them as underage girls have been produced.
so they did that and then these survivors filed an emergency motion on monday to the federal judge saying judge please help us and the federal judge said a status conference for later this week and said let me try to do what i can but i don't know what i could even do as a federal judge because our system is based on the concept that the doj is supposed to be the good guys
And the criminal defendant is adversarial with the presumption of innocence.
But in the case of Ghislaine is a convicted sex trafficker.
So is guilty, guilty, guilty.
