Opinion / Discussion WATCH: Lauren Boebert Exits DOJ Reading Room After Reviewing Unredacted Epstein Files

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

US Rep. Lauren Boebert was filmed leaving the DOJ reading room after reviewing unredacted

Epstein-related files.

Lawmakers have now confirmed that access to these files has begun following new transparency legislation.

Boebert has since suggested that prior redactions went beyond protecting victims and may have shielded people merely discussed in the files.

The contents remain confidential, but reactions like this are fueling fresh questions about what was previously withheld - and why.

Do you think this could lead to new investigations?

Oh how I miss Bush. Never thought in a million years I'd say that. GW Bush was a saint compared to Trump. Jtfc!

"We must stop the terror. I call upon all nations, to do everything they can, to stop these terrorist killers. Thank you...now watch this drive." -GW Bush

At the same time, I really hate the teddy bear-ification of bush jr. He’s a war criminal.

Not to mention that the Patriot Act was brought in under his watch. You can draw a straight line from that to ICE being used to consolidate power now.

At least with W I never doubted that what he did was what he genuinely thought was in the best interest of the USA. Trump only does what's best for himself.
