Please don’t do this, America. Please don’t act like the Trump-Epstein emails we saw today were our first glimpse of something.

Don’t buy the narrative that these emails are useful because they *hint* at misconduct. We *know* there was misconduct.

You can read a fully sourced book on it for free:
{Book 1} Proof of Devilry: The Crimes of Donald Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein
The available evidence places Trump, Epstein, and Maxwell at the heart of a multistate and multinational child sex-, sex- and human-trafficking ring whose discovery could change the course of history.

Whenever Ken Starr returns to the news, it's fun to remember that one deputy investigating Bill Clinton (and Vice Foster) was ... Brett Kavanaugh!

Extra fun to remember that GWBush FL Recount team in 2000 included Brett K, J Roberts, AC Barrett.

Plus help from FL gov Jeb Bush. Good times!
Ken Starr emailing with Epstein in 2018 is a really interesting thing to learn about!!!!!!

It just wasn't a big, newsworthy deal like, for instance, the college applications of a mayoral candidate to a school he didn't get into or attend.
To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

Been sayin'. "They'll vote yes to get out ahead of what's coming." (David Shuster last week). Over 1000 FBI and DOJ analysts had their eyes on the unsecure files during the review this past March. That's a lot of potential leaks. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Folks, the reporting is that Trump is making PERSONAL CALLS to Mace, MTG and others about the discharge petition. Would you be doing this if you had nothing to hide? Let's please all be serious here.

1/2 🧵People saying “Venezuela is all about oil,”...they’re not wrong... but they’re missing about 80% of the actual picture.
Here’s what they’re overlooking:

*Oil isn’t the point...leverage is.
*Geography matters...more than oil.
*Venezuela...is a doorway into regional control.

HOUSE OVERSIGHT DEMS RELEASE EPSTEIN EMAILS

April 2, 2021
Epstein to Maxwell:
"...that dog that hasn't barked is trump.. [VICTIM] spent HOURS at my house with him."

It appears Jeffrey Epstein communicated to Ghislaine Maxwell that Donald Trump engaged in the behaviors consistent with a pedophile.

Wow! A new low for Ken Paxton. His deranged press release claims that there cannot be any legitimate purpose for legal defense for people facing deportation — effectively saying that removal defense is not legitimate and only “radicals” would want people to have lawyers.

Horrid stuff from him.

When Trump was in his 50s, he said his daughter got him to promise not to date anyone younger than her. She was 17.
2.
In 1999, when Trump was in his 50s, he said daughter Ivanka made him “swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her." Ivanka was 17 then. The age of consent in NY is 17. So, in effect, Ivanka was asking Trump not to commit statutory rape.
Listen to Donald Trump recount how his 17-year-old daughter made him 'swear' not to date someone younger than her

JFK was a war hero, who used his father's influence to get into the Navy to be ANTIFA and defend democracy and freedom in WWII. Donald Trump is a coward and a war zero who faked bone spurs and used his father's influence to stay out of military service. #Trump #Coward

Goldman Sachs says the U.S. lost 50,000 jobs last month—which is why Trump’s refusing to release the jobs and inflation reports. They don’t want you seeing how bad the economy really is, but everybody knows.

Far from needing to simply oust older Democrats and replace them with younger counterparts, the party needs strong progressive politicians of all ages. Robert Kuttner reports on the myth of the gerontocracy:

The Myth of the Democrats’ Gerontocracy Problem - The American Prospect
The Democrats’ problem is not age—it’s corporate and centrist Democrats of all ages. What distinguishes some of the most successful young Democrats is not just their youth but the fact that they are compelling progressive populists.
