A week ago we heard that the tape of the mysterious and irregular meeting between the the Deputy Attorney General of the entire United States, Todd Blanche (who is also the former personal lawyer of the president) and Maxwell, Jeffery Epstein's accompl...

Granted I don't think that Maxwell is trustworthy. She is in prison and wants a pardon from the president. So she isn't a good person to ask for honest information about that same president.
She could lie in hopes of getting a pardon.
Nonetheless they said, in the name of transparency they would share those tapes.
But now everyone has forgotten about that. Another broken promise.
Every time I simply describe these events we have witnessed in my own words I'm stunned by how obvious and blatant the corruption we are witnessing has become.
The Deputy Attorney General doesn't go and meet with convicted child traffickers normally. That alone requires an explanation that no one in the Trump administration has given us.
Why did he meet with her? What was said? The public has a right to know.

@futurebird Honestly, I was expecting an edited tape where she asserts Trump did nothing wrong but various Dems did do wrong, in return for clemency.

I think they have that, but rightly realize that maybe their base isn't blinded by loyalty enough to swallow that as real given that Maxwell isn't, and cannot even attempt to argue that she is innocent.
(Her bid for a retrial is based on a technicality not some assertion that she is innocent, there is too much evidence that contradicts that.)
So, her lying for a pardon might hurt more than it helps.

The press is too scared to hound the president with questions about this. But come on. He should be asked "why is it taking so long to release this information? Can't you use AI to cook up something fake faster than this?"

I'm following this saga through various prediction markets for a gig. There is some expectation of action when Congress returns Sept. 3.
I read some right-wing substacks and such as research (do not recommend!), and apparently the MAGA base, or more relevant to Epstein, the "Q" cult, is still pretty pissed and lawmakers are hearing about it.
So there's some reason to be guardedly optimistic there will be movement and attention on this again.

If I lived in a congressional district with a republican representative now seems like a good time to send a letter asking when the information would come out.
Everyone just wants to see what is in the files and know what happened in that strange meeting.
Absent facts I'm left to imagine all kinds of things.
If there isn't anything there it should not be a problem to come clean.

To be fair, he's kicked out actual journalists from covering him in the White House press pool and has surrounded himself with sycophants.

That only works if journalists fail to stick up for each other. If when one journo was kicked out for a question 20 more kept asking the same one it becomes unworkable to ban them all. Will you give a conference to an empty room? By, acceding that "no that question went to far" when you know it didn't you become part of the propaganda arm of the state. And you aren't even being paid as much as those who choose that as their profession.

Absolutely, I find the Whitehouse press concurrence with the liar in chief's banning of AP for standing up for the truth to be sickening. #GulfOfMexico
