Summary
Ouch! Amy and T.J. go beyond the headlines, and after reading through Judge Paul Engelmayer’s 30 page ruling, there is so much more to hear! The judge eviscerates the Trump administration for misleading the public by suggesting there is anything new or incriminating to unseal in the grand jury testimony surrounding Ghislaine Maxwell. He goes so far as to say he ALMOST released the sealed testimony just to expose the farce coming directly from the government.

| 0:50.8 | homework assignment and said he considered exposing them for the frauds they are. |
| 0:57.9 | And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Ropes, I paraphrase there a little bit, |
| 1:02.3 | but that is as accurate as you're going to get. This was an absolute beatdown in this judge's |
| 1:09.3 | decision, a spanking to the Trump administration. |
| 1:13.7 | Yes, that's exactly well put. That was the sentiment throughout the entire 30-page response. |
| 1:21.1 | You read it, I read it, and it was jaw-dropping. I know that judges are supposed to judge, but he was extra judgey, would you not say? |
| 1:30.8 | Well, you're not used to them speaking that way. |
| 1:34.2 | And I would say that we're missing a lot in a lot of the coverage and the headlines that we are seeing. |
| 1:39.9 | I thought it was one thing. |
| 1:41.1 | And even some of the quotes I saw, the judge kind of admonished them for some things. |
