This Grand jury unsealing lark looks like another Trunp miscalculation. Now he needs the judges help but they are going to twist the knive here. Tough shit.

"Rosenberg noted that two other appeals courts have allowed additional exceptions to releasing grand jury material. One is the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, whose jurisdiction includes New York City, where the administration has moved to unseal additional grand jury testimony relating to the Epstein and Maxwell investigations."
"Rosenberg's ruling said the government essentially conceded that she did not have the authority to release the transcripts, but her swift decision will allow the administration to ask the 11th Circuit to reconsider its earlier ruling on grand jury secrecy."
Trump needs to explain in painful detail why he wants to unseal the Grand jury transcripts.

"The DOJ and FBI have numerous other unclassified records in the case that they said they will not disclose, despite vowing in February to "release the remaining documents upon review and redaction to protect the identities of Epstein’s victims."
An "evidence list" released in February offers a roadmap to some of these unreleased records, including visitor records to Epstein's private island as well as wiretap records for Maxwell.
Earlier this month, the DOJ and FBI released a memo stating no further records in the case would be released, saying "much of the material is subject to court-ordered sealing" and that the agencies "will not permit the release of child pornography" or sensitive details pertaining to the victims."
Now Trump needs to make a clear case why this no longer matters. Hoist on his own petard.

Trump had directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release “any and all pertinent" grand jury documents as pressure continues to mount on the administration over Epstein.

Why unsealing Epstein grand jury records could be a long process
Facing uproar among his MAGA base over the Jeffrey Epstein files, President Donald Trump is trying to deflect blame to others.
