Also, the sex criminal is torturing and murdering people right now.

So is the DOJ claiming that the only one in the Epstein files beset by "unfounded and false claims" just happens to have been his best friend for over a decade?

Nothing Trump would love more than to "Dan Rather" Rachel Maddow.

Bari Weiss running something called The Free Press is like Donald Trump starting Truth Social.

The thing with the 60 Minutes segment is I think Bari Weiss wasn't concerned with people seeing is as much as wanting Trump to see her "making tough calls" for him.

BREAKING: Judge Cannon rules that her restriction on Jack Smith's classified documents report will end on Feb. 24. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's going to be seen by more people than the Erika Kirk town hall, isn't it?

Who would have guessed a guy who made his name with a dollar sign would be wasteful with taxpayer money.

I think a good rule of thumb is whenever a new boss starts talking about their North Star, update your resume.

It would be a good time to leak what 60 Minutes story ideas Bari Weiss came in with, given her professed criteria for only breaking new ground.

Getting closer.

Getting closer.

They're going to announce a Running Man competition next.

Imagining having to listen to this in her "I'm the only reasonable person here" voice while opening Indeed.com on my phone.

Anyone done the CBS eye blinking yet?

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

What is 60 Minutes swapping in for their pulled CECOT story?

“The Freethinkers” sounds like what the Klan is called in some dystopian graphic novel.

Weirdly, I’ve never felt the need to apologize more these days.

If only there was some way to connect Trump wishing Ghislaine Maxwell well after her conviction to her being transferred to the least unpleasant incarceration available.

I really think his kink is bullshitting on the Sunday shows.

A generation that grew up on The Simpson's monorail episode shouldn't be buying any of this, and yet.

"Additional information" like Trump having a conniption.

Moved to a lower security prison is technically a security issue, I guess.

Is Bari Weiss holding a gun to her dog's head off camera?

I think we're way past he's "part" of the "Epstein saga."

Can we get Tucker Carlson to box next?

I could read this or I could repeatedly beat my face with a dead blow hammer.

I think I can explain.

Just because everyone assumed this is what Bondi would do with the Epstein files isn’t a reason to not raise holy hell about it.

The part I don’t get is wouldn’t Bill Barr have already destroyed anything that really incriminates Trump years ago?

And may every day be another wonderful secret.

This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. AG Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.

I think the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein mess is proving if you are guilty there aren't a lot of good options.

I still think Bill Clinton's association with Epstein saved Trump in 2016 from the scrutiny his long friendship with a sex trafficker should have gotten and clearly he thinks that can save him again. But the situation is a bit different now.

Are we absolutely certain now this all wasn't part of Bannon's operation to try to protect Trump from his nauseating past?

I think it's clear that in addition to documenting his crimes, Epstein was a dedicated social climber and was obsessive about documenting that too. Blurring the lines between his legal and illegal life will be essential to Trump's case.

Also, let me tell you about how I tried to help Jeffrey Epstein.

I don’t know that they think we’re stupid so much as powerless.

Even behind the redactions if there ends up being no real Trump bombshells in the Epstein files it might be because they were running parallel operations.

The Epstein file is the only thing Trump has ever taken his name off of

Releasing the files like

They didn’t even get cool binders this time.

Things fall apart; the Trump Kennedy center cannot hold.

Wait

This blows everything wide open

One of these bitter GOP quitters must have a burn it all down book in them.

I think even MAGA will be furious at the obviousness of the administration protecting the powerful.
