🧵The Epstein and Maxwell federal cases, all three of them, receive court approval for grand jury disclosures.
A significant majority of the SDNY material is already public, but the SDFL stuff may offer something brand new.

The SDNY judges already took a look at the materials over the summer when DOJ made an initial effort to unseal them.
They found that the materials do not contain anything truly revelatory.
From the Epstein ruling:
"The Government's complete information trove would better inform the public about the Epstein case."
Here's what's in the Epstein SDNY grand jury materials.
It's just 70 pages, and almost all of it is already public.
From the Maxwell ruling:

Regarding Maxwell grand jury material,
"The Court’s review confirmed that unsealing the grand jury materials would not reveal new information of any consequence."
However... the SDFL grand jury materials have not had an in camera review by a judge and might be a different story.
When DOJ asked an SDFL judge to unseal those materials last summer, she literally could not do it, and DOJ conceded that fact in their motion for the unsealing.
But almost every pundit and clickbait media outlet lied to their audience and told them the judge was crooked.
