US government watchdog to investigate Epstein files release
-
The inspector general at the US Department of Justice (DoJ) is opening an investigation into whether the agency is complying with a law passed by Congress forcing the release of files related to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein.
The announcement by the DoJ's internal watchdog comes amid criticism from lawmakers over how the files were released, and millions of other files that have not been made public.
The statement on Thursday said the watchdog would examine the "identification, collection, and production of responsive material" related to Epstein.
It added that "if circumstances warrant," the agency "will consider addressing other issues that may arise during the course of the audit".
It will also examine "guidance and processes for redacting and withholding material consistent with the requirements" in the law.

I have exactly zero hope that anything will come of this.

Personally my guess is the result will be some technical information but overall "this is the former AG's fault."

They will thoroughly investigate themselves and be sure to find nothing wrong.

Lol "whether the agency is complying". Their great leader literally said "You're not getting any more files! >=["
We need an "investigation" to what, validate the confession and blunt intent to break the law to a most obvious crime? Come on.
And if it is found to be in violation (I mean duh), are there cuffs and jail cells involved or is it just gonna be like "Naughty naughty, you have just 1000 more days to release the rest or else we'll... Have a memorandum or something."?
To paraphrase a classic joke:
"They're great watchdogs! They watched as the robbers took everything."

“Investigation” should be “looks left, looks right, sees obvious conclusion.”

All the while claiming that they’re doing what they should and satisfying the letter of their remit.

If the US government still has any functioning watchdogs left I'm sure that mistake will be corrected in short order.

Oh, yeah. I'm sure the currently compromised DOJ is totally going to find fault in its own compliance with the law
