Former prosecutors and criminal defense attorneys are speaking out about the Trump administration's refusal to share investigative materials on the Minneapolis ICE shooting with local authorities, calling the situation highly unusual.

State and local prosecutors in Minnesota say the FBI is stonewalling them. The FBI is leading the probe into the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed in her car on Wednesday by an ICE agent.

'This is what a cover-up looks like,' Dan Gelber, a former federal prosecutor and Miami Beach mayor, told Axios.

Jeffrey Epstein – Trump's ghost of Christmas Past and Future.

Speaking of Trump's "enigma" friend, the Department of Justice says it has just discovered "over a million" more Epstein documents. Of course, that means even more delays in releasing them. Who could have predicted such delays? 🤔

Oops! DOJ just 'found' a million more Epstein documents

We're familiar with the Friday dumps when potentially embarrassing or unfavorable documents or materials are released just before the weekend in order to minimize public attention. Just leave it to Trump and minion Pam Bondi to do a Christmas Eve dump.

The Epstein Files were supposed to have been released no later than December 19th at 11:59:59 PM EST as mandated by the Epstein Transparency Act. It's already more than 5 days since that deadline. They had plenty of time to collect and sort out the documents. To use a Watergate era term, this is blatant stonewalling.

Epstein victims never have a nice Christmas.

Stonewalling isn’t just giving someone the silent treatment. It’s shutting down completely: emotionally checked out, walls up, refusing to talk no matter what.

If your partner (or even you) has started doing this, it leaves the other person feeling isolated, frustrated, and helpless. Over time, it creates a chasm that’s nearly impossible to bridge.

Ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away because it’s one of the fastest ways a marriage starts to collapse from the inside.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are four negative behaviors that can be destructive to a relationship and are often predictors of divorce: 

Criticism: Attacks a person's character rather than focusing on a specific behavior  

Contempt: A spouse views themselves as better than their partner, and can include sarcasm, name-calling, or eye-rolling  

Defensiveness: A negative behavior that can occur in a relationship  

Stonewalling: A behavior that can occur when a couple feels overwhelmed by emotion  

According to Gottman, healthy relationships don't use these behaviors as often and are better at repairing them when they do occur. The first step to eliminating these behaviors is to identify them in conflict discussions.

the silent treatment

posts about the silent treatment keep popping up in my social media feeds. I would take it as a sign from the universe except it's more than likely just an algorithm. regardless...

...my usual way of dealing with someone giving me the silent treatment is to do nothing. because what else can be done? we can't force people to talk to us and I'm not comfortable with the level of insanity needed to keep reaching out to someone who obviously wants nothing to do with me. in fact, it's triggering in a way that every time it happens, it's like a fresh wound being ripped smooth the fuck back open.

if I had to think back to who I experienced the silent treatment from first, it would be my parents. having the loop in head that I'm just not THAT important is a feeling that I wish on no one.... but when people who were supposed to be close as family and friends have done this, the loop starts. to get the broken record out of my head, I have to remind myself that I will always deserve better.

I choose to listen to the other thought in my head that people who do this should not be allowed back in my life. expecting better treatment than this is not unreasonable. however, if people feel the need to separate themselves from me like this, by all means, they should leave. they should also stay gone.

I'm not a heartless sack of skin that feels nothing. the silent treatment speaks so loudly and the message I always get is, you don't matter so... it's like returning to an ex... not really a good idea and more than likely not worth the second chance to get stonewalled.
