I Prayed have prayed
Father, we pray for the full truth about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. We pray for Your truth to reign, and we ask You to restore transparency and justice in our government.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Yesterday, a federal judge denied a motion to unseal the grand jury material in the Ghislaine Maxwell (notable Epstein associate) case, stating the public would learn nothing new if the material were released.

Let the IFA community know how to pray for you.

 

From POLITICO:

U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, in a 31-page decision, chided the Justice Department for its bid to make the material public because, he said, the public would learn virtually nothing new from the documents and “would come away feeling disappointed and misled.”

“Insofar as the motion to unseal implies that the grand jury materials are an untapped mine lode of undisclosed information about Epstein or Maxwell or confederates, they definitively are not that,” Engelmayer, an Obama appointee, wrote. “There is no ‘there’ there.”

The decision about the grand jury materials is, on its face, a loss for the Justice Department. But it may allow the department to place the blame for keeping the documents private on the judge. The bid to make the material public was always a longshot and, as both the judge and the government acknowledged, the files contained almost no material that would add to the public’s understanding of the matter.

According to POLITICO, both Jude Engelmayer and the DOJ felt that there wasn’t anything significant in the material. If that’s the case, however, why keep everything private? And if the material is so insignificant, why did the DOJ push to release it? Furthermore, even if these documents truly provide no information, isn’t it better for them to be released anyway in the interest of transparency?

This all comes as the Trump administration is still doing damage control after the right wing overwhelmingly rejected the DOJ’s Epstein conclusion in early July. Last month, the DOJ announced that Epstein did in fact kill himself and that the rumored “Esptein files” didn’t exist. In response, many on the Left and the Right accused the President of defending pedophiles, outright rejecting the DOJ’s conclusion and demanding the release of Epstein’s fabled list.

Was there new information in the grand jury material? Unfortunately, Judge Engelmayer has stopped us from knowing. However, we know that God knows, and we can trust that He will bring all things to light.

What do you think of this judge’s decision? Share your prayers and scriptures below.

Engelmayer, appointed by Obama, unlawfully halted Trump’s Executive Order establishing and implementing the Department of Government Efficiency. Seems like he’s intent on making law rather than interpreting law.

The judge’s rationale makes no sense. If there is nothing new that is significant, then what is the harm in releasing the documents. All this does is increase mistrust in government officials, and my mistrust is already at an all-time high. I say quit making excuses for not releasing the Epstein files. They are all hiding something.

The Bible tells us that God is a righteous judge and judge of all the earth. The truth will eventually get out, and justice will be done, even if that happens at the end of time.

I have had 2 warning dreams about Trump regarding his sexual escapades during his friendship years with Epstein. If he has not repented and continues to cover up his sin, God will expose him. He contributed to the victimization of young women, some under age, naive and vulnerable to men of power who sexually assaulted them, traumatized them and dismissed them. Men who treat women in this manner and pay brides to cover up there sins, will not prosper. Only the blood of Jesus can cover sin. I pray Trump will repent and be forthcoming to help bring justice to the woman who were injured by the sexual crimes against them. The ‘art of the deal’ that practices bribes is unfair business practice. There are people paying not to be exposed. Let the public decide if there is nothing to be gained from court disclosures and not by an opposing judge. I pray for justice for the women injured by Epstein, Maxwell and all the others in collision with them, to be convicted by the Holy Spirit, to repent of their crimes and exposed for bribes and cover ups so that this kind of sexual assault of children and women will be fairly addressed and stopped from being dismissed from justice by the power brokers standing in the way of justice and the protection of the vulnerable from sexual exploitation.

    President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of the Mar-a-Lago Club because he made advances to the minor daughter of another club member. That was clear back in 2007, as I recall.
    I don’t believe Trump has a background connected to pedophilia.

    I agree the judge should just let the material be seen. His reasoning the people will be disappointed doesn’t make sense.

    If Trump were involved, the democrats would have released the information long ago.
    This is an Obama appointed judge. He’s a democrat, trying to protect other democrats like Clinton. Connect the dots.

Ignore the judge. Dump the material to Wikileaks. Let the public decide.

Don’t you just love how these judges think they have the right to tell the American people what we should and shouldn’t know and how we will feel once we do know? I dare say, I think he is hiding something. But God Almighty knows and we will ALL stand before Him one day. Nothing is hidden, nothing. Lord Jesus, your will, you way be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Our desire is to see confession and repentance that our nation will be healed. Have YOUR way Father and be with us.

All documents should be released even if there’s nothing new for transparency.

    Someone with access to those documents needs to discretely and anonymously dump those documents to Wikileaks…ignore the judge.

Wait! First the democrats did nothing about releasing the Epstein files during the Biden term. Then they demand the full release of the files. Then infamous democrat names popped up on the list and now an Obama appointed Judge says we don’t need to see anything more. Hmmm.

I pray in this Epstein ,Soros and other actions of Jews , to go back to the Jews of Abraham, the prophets to regain their deeper moral code . They are a brilliantly materialistic people who do have the 10 Commandments, but perhaps, that wad never enough… they need the Beatitudes, too !

The judge and all who don’t want info released should not be deciding for the American people. All that does is fan the flames of distrust. I for one do not trust any judge appointed by a democrat they have proven themselves to be unAmerican and ungodly. I trust in God to take care of this evil.

Father, may Your peace that passes all understanding guard our hearts and minds as we make our requests with thanksgiving. In this information age, people seem to want to know every last ugly detail of a situation. As Your people, Father, I am asking that You would protect our hearts and minds from things we just don’t need to know personally. I thank You for exposed Truth in this matter. I ask Father, that any others who were involved in this heinous crime would be exposed and brought to justice. I ask that the victims would receive healing from heaven and that the evil one would have no place in their lives any longer. I pray that every victim would come to a full knowledge of God. Thank You, Lord. Amen

If there’s nothing new, then no harm, no foul! Making them public might restore a smidgen of the public’s trust in our government. Lord, we trust You to expose truth, and bring justice where justice is due. Thank You!
