My latest flight of fantasy... [View all]

So, 47 has ordered Bondi to make a futile effort to get Epstein grand jury testimony released. (I'm not a lawyer, but as far as I can tell, none of the exceptions to the secrecy of grand jury testimony apply here.)

It seems clear this is an empty gesture his "people" have come up with to quell the revolt. And they undoubtedly hope that it has the added bonus of giving them another cudgel to hit the courts with ("We asked for it, the corrupt judiciary are the ones keeping it all secret." )

Now here's my little flight of fantasy:

The court finds that some of the testimony needs to be released in the public interest, not for whatever bullshit argument Bondi's DOJ makes, but "on it's own motion," with a finding that the nation has a right to know its president's involvement.

An appeal to block that would sure stir up the hornets nest!
