Ghislaine Maxwell’s rehabilitation tour just hit a dead end.

In drafting the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Congress failed to include an enforcement mechanism. Don’t expect its dormant “inherent contempt” power to make up for that.

She pushed her lawyers aside and filed this Habeas petition herself. It won’t work.

When it comes to Epstein, no amount of spin or talking points will quell the demand for the release of the files.

Trump and Stephen Miller’s deportation push is rattling communities nationwide, including Trump strongholds. Even Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s family has been affected. Former State Attorney Dave Aronberg unpacks the fallout and MAGA infighting. @davearonberg.bsky.social

Turns out, “manscaping” was on the to-do list for Luigi Mangione:

The Epstein files are supposed to be released by Friday, buuuuuuut…. @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

He built a movement on fighting against the so-called “global elites.” Then he’s caught in photos with Jeffrey Epstein. The hypocrisy of Steve Bannon: @msnowreports.bsky.social

The world’s oldest and most durable hatred, antisemitism, continues its march, as history repeats itself. Weak government leaders, such as Australia’s, chose to ignore and appease, rather than confront this evil. Another horrific reminder why a safe, secure Israel must exist.

Defense lawyers for Luigi Mangione did their best this week, but there are exceptions to the warrant requirement and the evidence (and bushy eyebrows) are what they are. We discussed on @msnowreports.bsky.social:

Luigi Mangione has good lawyers and they’ve done well in court this week…but it won’t be enough to keep him out of prison.

The centerpiece of the government’s case against James Comey has now been put on ice. Yet another blow to a prosecution that was doomed from the beginning.

It was a bad week for Trump and his Acting U.S. Attorneys who were appointed to carry out his retribution. Here’s why Trump refuses to go through the Senate confirmation process that would legitimize his controversial appointments: @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social @jenniferpalmieri.bsky.social

So far, Trump‘s retribution campaign has been a big fail. And it keeps getting worse for the government in the Comey and James cases:

Don’t ignore what’s behind Door B. It’s not the Epstein grand jury records. My interview with Alex Witt on MS NOW. @msnowreports.bsky.social

Just when you thought the guardrails were gone…then last week happened.

Happy Thanksgiving!! I’m thankful for the rule of law, on this day and always — and the judges who help protect it.

There are several reasons why the Comey case can’t be resurrected, and only one possible path for the White House to try again:

The Comey case was doomed from beginning, but now it’s getting ridiculous. @alivitali.bsky.social @waytooearly.bsky.social

One word in the Epstein Files Transparency Act could create a loophole that delays or prevents disclosure.

A recently released transcript from Thursday’s hearing shows Letitia James’s lawyer calling out acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, who was standing just a few feet away. open.substack.com/pub/davearon...

A new White House strategy to prevent the release of the Epstein files:

Did prosecutors forget where they were? The case against the sandwich thrower was always suspect, but attempting to get a conviction in Washington, DC doomed the case from the beginning. Here are my three takeaways after the acquittal of Sean Dunn: davearonberg.substack.com/p/3-takeaway...
