I lurk, sometimes ‘like’, and occasionally comment. I try to follow people who seem pretty decent. Personal insults demonstrate you’ve lost the argument. UK based.

Powerful stuff. 👇. If only. Sadly, I can’t imagine Comer being embarrassed into acting on the right side of history. We can always hope, I suppose.
The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.
