Justice Department lawyers have repeatedly delayed or rebuffed the judge’s orders, culminating in a frustrating Thursday court hearing in which an exasperated but reluctant Sullivan floated the possibility of contempt proceedings.
“I just don’t want anyone to be blindsided if we have to go down that road,” he said. “It’s not a threat. It’s a promise. I have a job to administer justice, and I take that very seriously.”
So…… they’re gonna do something, right? Right?
Judges have repeatedly said that Trump’s admin has violated their orders and they STILL haven’t done anything.
Fucking DO IT. You make yourself look useless with these empty threats.
They are useless when “the law” only applies to the out group
What if we were immune to prosecution also, and we just haven’t been breaking any laws to test it?
Sure, add it to the pile (of stuff they’ll never be punished for).
Sure. They could face a lot of repercussions for a lot of different bullshit.
But will they? No, of course not. Don’t be silly.
The president has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing, and one’s appearance in the Epstein files does not suggest otherwise.
What kind of bullshit cover your ass disclaimer is that? Trump has most certainly been accused of crimes in the Epstein files.
Trump is guilty as fuck.
I’m accusing that fuck right now!. Fix the disclaimer!
Hell, I accuse him on a daily basis, only because it’s so blatantly obvious.
Even a child could accuse him, because they have first hand knowledge of his crimes.
Prevents the spectre withholding under the president having absolute immunity from cropping up. Might be bullshit, but the judge probably wanted to quash that train from ever leaving the station.
Odd because these files are well before Trump’s presidency, let alone when that immunity clause was ruled.
Maybe. But, do you really think his cult’s attorneys wouldn’t make the argument in bad faith anyway?
Could be? Fucking do it, cowards.
Dont forget that the establishment is not only guilty of inaction, but also preventing others from trying to stop things as well.
Narrator: In a surprise to no one, the cowards didn’t fucking do it.
No chance they do it now. They’ll do it when Trump is likely already dead, if (and only if) a proper democrat and congress comes into power, and when the sentiment tides signifigantly shift. To the point where that MAGA neighbor suddenly pretends he never voted for Trump (he voted for him 3 times. maybe 4).
Then they will probably get 1-2 lawyers on the hook, take their license, and give them a consultant role elsewhere in government as an olive branch. Justice. I sure hope to be proven wrong, but something tells me we won’t learn from Reconstruction.
They are playing the system. They know eventually a judge will hold them responsible. Their last move is who will enforce it… the DOJ?
Individual lawyers can have their law licenses revoked for their involvement. Not everyone is willing and able to sacrifice everything for the Orange shit gibbon
I’d argue that by this point, any lawyers with integrity who worked there are already gone.
Yeah. It’s so bad that they’re offering $25k signing bonuses for lawyers.
Used to be, DOJ didn’t have to do that because they had massive numbers of excessively qualified applicants climbing over each other to apply.
More than you think. I believe the DOJ lost 70% of lawyers in 2025 alone:

I heard later stories report 75%.
Now, anyone they hired into the circus to try and replace them surely lacked integrity as a prerequisite.
In the spirit of calling cops pigs, I’m thinking we should start calling DOJ lawyers joey: little kangaroos, with their little kangaroo courts.
I’m onboard
Once again I’m worried that absolutely nothing of consequence will occur and I have to sit here and stew in anger as our republic desiccates and rots from within T-T
They’ll get right on to this in a decade or so. I mean the wheels of justice turn slowly, and we wouldn’t want to undermine a sitting president or anything.
…or else!
*menacing gesture*
Surely that’ll do.
They won’t be
Whoa guys, lookout! This judge “could” do it and he doesn’t use the word “could” lightly.
Extremely minor chance of minor consequences. For the biggest coverup of the biggest scandal.
Threats of a long serious talk.
Might even do a Susan Collins!
Which means what? What are they going to do to the president? That man hasn’t been punished for a single fucking thing in his entire life.
At some point we’ll need to throw are hands in the air and admit defeat. The bad guys won. They’ve been winning for a long while now.
Hell yeah! Slap em with that $500/day fine the taxpayers eventually cover. That’ll show them.
Just do it. It is clear that the Trump Regime is not dealing in good faith.
While at it, the judge should offer armed deputization to close relatives of the Epstein victims, for the purposes of enforcing court orders. The executive isn’t going to arrest itself.
Oh no! Another hollow threat that carries no meaningful punitive consequences. What ever will the DOJ do?
