It's just the executive branch doesn't even want to concede anymore that the Constitution says it's Congress's role to decide when to initiate things like this.

I call these weapons of mass distraction from the Epstein files.

And they're going off every week, all these weapons of mass distraction.

Whether that's the intent of this activity abroad or not, it is the effect of it, which is to take the eye off of this ball.

And it's to take the eye off the fact that

Pam Bondi is violating the law.

She missed the December 19th deadline.

She missed the deadline 15 days after that where they had to justify redactions and give Congress a list of politicians who were involved in the Epstein files.

So they missed two deadlines.

But I'm concerned more about what they're redacting and what they're withholding than I am about these deadlines.

And that's why we've asked this judge to appoint a special master.

This is the judge that was over the Jelaine Maxwell case.

And what we noticed is that he still engaged in a dialogue with Pam Bondi regarding the release of these files.

And so what we did is we submitted an amici to the court, like a friend of the court.

Hey, here's a suggestion if you want to take it or not.

The judge is asking us to, within a week, and also asking the DOJ within a week, to say, really, does Ro Khanna and Thomas Massey have any standing here?

And so that's an interesting question, whether we do or not.

But I do think that the judge is empowered to opine, and even to appoint a special master on his own, on whether the DOJ is actually following the law.

Our problem is they've sent a letter to Congress saying, we're gonna ignore parts of your law because we think prior law supersedes it.

But that's not the way this works.
