Anyone who is at the Justice Department who's involved with this, who's not complying could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice.
Now, Pam Bondi is not gonna prosecute them and Donald Trump isn't gonna have an Attorney General who prosecutes them.
But, you know, in 2029, we're going to have a Democratic president and that Democratic president is going to have an attorney general.
And that attorney general is going to prosecute the law, not out of vindictiveness, out of just saying that you can't commit crimes and get away with it.
By the way, I think that should apply to crimes, not just in violating the Epstein Transparency Act.
I think it should apply to crimes with ICE, crimes in terms of the strikes in the Caribbean.
We need accountability before reconciliation.
So if you're at the Justice Department and you know that you're violating the law, you probably don't want obstruction of justice charges brought against you.
And that's why I think more and more people are speaking up.
I don't know what the president has said, but what I do know is that his production violates the spirit of the law, and it violates the letter of the law, and it's a slap in the face of survivors.
And so, look, they have underestimated this issue for six months.
I don't get it.
Just lease the files, get it over with.
The president can talk about affordability and the economy.
They're the ones who continue to play these games that make this a bigger and bigger issue.
And Congress is talking about possible impeachment.
They're talking about inherent contempt for the attorney general or deputy attorney general.
Any Justice Department official who has obstructed justice could face prosecution in this administration or a future administration.
And the last word, like I said, is going to be the survivors.
Americans don't trust politicians that much.
