Whipple: Wiles thought she was talking to someone who would give her a fair shake. And I did give her a fair shake. But the problem is, when you’re in that bubble, you wouldn’t recognize fair treatment when you see it—because crazy is crazy when you’re in that bubble.

Did Trump’s DOJ really think dropping hundreds of blacked-out pages counted as complying with the law?
I know it’s a bunch of unqualified folks with no backbone over there, but this is next-level.

Here is a theory why Trump is so reluctant to release these files.
All those other millionaire and famous scumbags whose names have now been painstakingly redacted will rat on him if he does not protect them.

Reports indicate the DOJ has roughly 300 gigabytes of data in theEpstein files
That equates to millions of pages in document form
Today they released about 300,000 pages-none of which mention Trump
This appears to violate the law
Congress should subpoena Pam Bondi to see what she’s hiding

Khanna: "The law clearly required all unclassified information being released today. They obviously have not complied with that law. They claim it's because it was only a few weeks -- well they've known about this for months."

The EU showed that it works. It not only functions. But at a really high level. It's policy proposals are rigorous. It's leaders are determined to act. And it finds ways hammer out policy agreements, make compromises, squeeze obstacles (or pay them off), to make progress. 7/

Third, they actually froze the frozen Russian assets. Every 6 months the EU had to vote to keep the assets frozen and sanctions in place, giving Orban a hostage. The EU found a way to get around this (lawyers ftw!). So the assets are still their to be tapped. And almost certainly will be. 4/

All this talk of Europe divided... of course it is "divided." It is a federal democratic continental sized union. There will always be some division. But it is striking how united it actually it is on the big issues, especially Ukraine, and how much it gets done.
