President Donald Trump says he has ordered the justice department to produce additional documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval," he said.

It's unclear if Trump is authorising the public release of these documents. Such action would typically require court approval.

Yeah Bondi, slap together some more doctored BS to tell whatever story you need to tell. Maybe more "raw unedited footage" pasted together and missing 3 minutes.

"Also, I don't draw pictures," Trump said on social media in response to the story.

Of course he doesn't draw pictures. Artistic creation would require one to have a soul or some sense of joy.

[–] 3abas@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

He does draw, he has several doodles with his stupid signature. None have any soul.

Y'all are getting too hung up on the word "produce" when the real issue is that a grand jury transcript is a miniscule subset of the documents people actually want to see.

[–] SuperCub@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

We want the full video of the cell. Fucking deep state fucker.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

it would be heavily redacted of trump, or any of the donors.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

"Shredding them now, Sir!"

Knowing how incompetent they are, I won't be surprised if they release a spreadsheet with a second tab they don't notice labelled "Donald's rape list"

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Sounds like the files have been "fixed" so the orange rapist's name won't be found on the new and improved documents. All okay now.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago

This is like trying to get his tax returns... 😒

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 139 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Cue the news conference where she pulls out a 2000 page binder that she claims are the documents, only to just be blank pages.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

2000pages, thats pretty heavy

[–] quinceyBones@lemmy.zip 79 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I heard Trump has binders full of children.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

It's an old reference, but it checks out.

I'm sure they will somehow, implicate Joe Binder in it.

Wait, didn't they say there are NO files? What files are they gonna release? The inconsistencies here will blow some people's minds.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

They converted it into a pdf.

[–] hexabs@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Ah yes.. The pdfiles

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

I need that nothing to PDF converter! oh, it's just grok? nevermind..

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

There is no Excel spreadsheet named Epsteins_Client_List.xslx

Ergo, no files.

[–] Brokkr@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

These seem like the kind of people who use spaces, not underscores, in their file names.

duh, because it's .xlsx

[–] plz1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, they can start with the actual unedited video.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 89 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Please let this backfire spectacularly

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 49 points 2 days ago (8 children)

I don't see how it could possibly help him. It's just going to keep the story in the media, longer it stays in the news cycle the bigger it snowballs.

Sounds like the Dumbass-in-Chief wants that twat to throw together a list of names and claim it's the Epstein list. Bet all the names will be Democrats.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

that twat

I once used the word "twat" around my then-girlfriend. She said "you're pronouncing that wrong." WTF? "It's pronounced twah." Turns out she thought I and everybody else who used that word were trying to say the French word toit. No idea why she thought people were trying to use "roof" as an insult.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's pronounced ruff.

🐕the fuck you just say?

Made this joke at work. It'll be

  • Colin Kaepernick
  • Obama's wife(not even Michelle it'll just say Obama's wife)
  • Greta Thunberg
[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 4 points 1 day ago

That made me laugh out loud. It will probably say Obama Wife

The key word is pertinent:

Pertinent

n. Anything that doesn’t portray Trump in a bad light while simultaneously harming his perceived foes, as determined by Donald J. Trump and/or Pam Bondi at the formers discretion.

Plus, the Grand Jury testimony is only a small fraction of the ‘files’

“Produce”, as in “fabricate” or “forge”

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Grok or openai?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

I don't think there is a more direct way of saying "you want epstein files? Fine I will produce some fake files and release them. You will eat those files like eating shit all the while knowing they are fake, because that is what you are. You are my little shit eaters."

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (4 children)

List aside, did I miss why we aren't still talking about the 3 missing minutes and Adobe edited surveillance footage of the prison?
