Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

Edit: Okay, I read the whole article. I believe them... but at the end they say

This fake letter serves as a reminder that just because a document is released by the Department of Justice does not make the allegations or claims within the document factual. Nevertheless, the DOJ will continue to release all material required by law,” the department wrote on X.

This right here, this leads me to believe they fabricated this shit to muddy the waters.

Read the article, still dont believe those fucks

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 23 points 8 months ago

Is this Kash Patel's FBI, by any chance?

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Good thing they haven't actually released all material required by law!

"Just remember: any document released isn't factual if it mentions Trump, it's only real if it mentions Democrats or Democrat aligned people."

Here's the thing, I just don't trust anything that comes from the FBI and honestly I doubt that most Americans do either. DJT has blown up the FBI's trust and it's impossible to not think that Keystone wouldn't say anything to get his boss out of trouble.

He's blown up the trust in the entire government apparatus. By design.

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 9 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I remember learning in school about how public trust in the government had cratered after Nixon and Vietnam. And here we are again.

I just checked and it still works just fine for me.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Still? Make sure it isn't cached.

Are you following the link in a standalone browser? It fails when I try to open via the built in browser in my Lemmy client.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago

Works for me

FBI director Kash Patel also said under oath that there was no proof of any co-conspiritors in the files and Epstein acted alone.

There are literally thousands of papers proving otherwise.

He needs to be impeached and jailed along with the rest of this criminal organization.

Oh come on. They are going to come out again and say the entire thing is faked. They are liars and loyalists.
