So an Obama judge denied DOJ request to unseal Maxwell grand jury transcripts.

Why?

==========================

"A federal judge on Monday rejected a request by the Justice Department to unseal grand jury transcripts in the New York sex trafficking case of Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator.



District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer (Obama) wrote in his order that the government's premise that unsealing the records would shed light on meaningful new information was "demonstrably false," and that "unsealing the grand jury materials would not reveal new information of any consequence."

"Contrary to the Government’s depiction, the Maxwell grand jury testimony is not a matter of significant historical or public interest. Far from it," he wrote. "It consists of garden-variety summary testimony by two law enforcement agents. And the information it contains is already almost entirely a matter of longstanding public record.

"The Government has not cited any case finding such materials to present a 'special circumstance' that justifies the exceptional step of unsealing grand jury materials," Engelmayer continued, adding "There is none."

So why not just release the transcripts?

The Trump DOJ has made a similar request in Epstein's case, which remains pending in front of a different judge. "

Er ... I think he told us. You put it in your OP:


 
Obviously, because Trump s holding his family hostabe and threatened to kill them if the transcripts were released. You have to be able to read between the lines when it comes to this kind of thing.

Uh huh....
 
As OP notes, the judge determined there is no new information in the grand jury testimony.

The new information is in the DOJ files. The only reason Trump is seeking disclosure of the testimony is to make it look like he is being transparent without actually being so. ZeroHedge and its readers are all to happy to play along.

Keyword "the judge"... An Obama judge

Nothing more needs said.
 
You're asking why? Read the opinion and it should become perfectly clear to you. If you don't understand it, you're officially MAGA through and through.

There is nothing new in the GJ testimony. Only two names in the whole thing. Epstein and Maxwell. This backfired on Trump. Everyone knows that Bondi and Patel are sitting on hundreds of thousands of pages of evidence. This is what we want. Not some piss ant GJ testimony that would have been nothing more than a diversion. And the judge said exactly that.

Yep, yet some seem to think that the GJ evidence/testimony presented by the prosecution specifically to indict persons A and B ‘must have’ also included (extraneous?) evidence/testimony able to indict persons C, D and E. If not then that ‘proves’ the prosecution had no evidence/testimony to indict persons C, D and E.

Hogwash. This judge is being fair and reasonable. Anyone who is blind to the fact that this was an attempted ruse by Trump and Bondi is helplessly a cult member. Even a person like you who is an avid Trump supporter knows Trump is lying. You just won't admit it.

Then it's really gonna suck for maga that we keep demanding the child rapist in the wh releases the files. This whole GJ transcript thing was for you guys, not everyone else. non maga knew it was bullshit.
 
Does this mean Trump will release the files?
 
Of course you would say that. Its a day ending in 'Y'.
 
Does this mean Trump will release Maxwell?
 
HELLO! HELLO!
IF THE TRUMP ADMIN WANTS EVERYONE TO SEE THE INFO ABOUT THE CASES WHY DON'T THEY ORDER THE RELEASE OF THE DOJ FILES?


Yes, I am shouting.
 

First: Zerohedge, LoLz.

Second: it would be exceptionally unusual for a judge to allow the unsealing of grand jury transcripts, especially when those transcripts include the names and identifying information about minor victims.

Third: Your own quote from your source(zerohedge, LoLz) answers your question. That you do not like the answer is irrelevant.

Fourth: where is your outrage over the federal government not releasing its files?
 
Zero hedge... Lol.. Obama... I don't know why Trumpsters are doing gymnastics with these diversions.. Trump could be on video having sex with a 15 year old.. And his cult wouldn't care..

But anyway.. GJ testimony? Lol.. Lol.. It's useless.. The old saying..... “A grand jury could ‘indict a ham sandwich,’
 
Does this mean Trump will release the files?
Why is this so hard for you to understand? The DoJ, the TRUMP DoJ, requested that the records be released and a judge, an Obama appointee, said "no". Neither Trump nor the DoJ appear to be hiding anything here and, while I know it's hard for you to believe, Trump can't just order the judicial branch to do whatever he wants.
 
Because he understands the law.
