This obscenity went up on the Department of Justice building this afternoon - a stunning confirmation of the fact that the heretofore historically independent department has now been taken over by the singularly most un-American, undemocratic, corrupt, and lawless president in the nation’s history.

Could Ghislaine Maxwell blackmail Trump? Roger Sollenberger has the receipts:
On Wednesday, I reported that the Justice Department had removed from its Epstein file database a key document about a woman who told the FBI that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child. Late Thursday, the document was once again live.
It’s unclear why the DOJ removed the document in the first place. It’s also unclear why they put it back up after my reporting about its removal, which included a screenshot and a link to an internet archive of the record. The information in the document pertaining to the Trump accuser — whom the DOJ identifies as a victim of Jeffrey Epstein in the early-mid 1980s — doesn’t appear altered in any way. (Compare the record on the DOJ site todaywith the version they removed.)
However, the existence of this record — more specifically, the public’s knowledge of its existence — carries significant implications when it comes to the president and his DOJ’s posture against Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. That’s because this document shows the FBI conducted not just one but four interviews with Trump’s accuser. And, as I reported Wednesday, while the government gave all four of those interviews to Maxwell’s legal team ahead of her trial, the government gave only one of those four interviews to us in the Epstein files.
In other words, this document shows that, in choosing to withhold three of the four interviews from the Epstein files, the DOJ has granted Maxwell potential blackmail on the sitting president of the United States.
