Amount of time devoted to the Epstein Files tonight on the Big 3 network newscasts:
ABC: 4 minutes
NBC: 2 minutes
CBS: 30 seconds
CBS was the only network that didn’t have a full report on Epstein tonight; instead, its DC reporter mentioned it at the end of her gov’t shutdown story.

"These polls are bad for Trump! We need to do something to get people to think I'm not bad!"
"Getting rid of Bovino will show the media we're deescalating, sir"
"Yah! Then arrest that woke CNN Lemon guy!"
"For what, sir?"
"I dunno! Just arrest him! Show Trump is tough!"
"Right away, sir!"

Trump's arrest of Don Lemon shows that his "pivot" is an utter farce. As legal experts tell me, this looks appallingly corrupt. Indeed, it's likely this is all about sending a message that Trump isn't deescalating in the slightest.

Trump’s ICE Agents Arrested Don Lemon. Then the Story Got Even Darker.
Trump has been raging about the former CNN journalist. Attorney General Pam Bondi just had him arrested, a move one legal expert slammed as “highly irregular.”

Even the Reagan Administration was smart enough not to talk about the Iran-Contra slush fund in public.
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"
