WELKER: Why was this photo of a desk with a drawer open containing photos of Trump taken down?
BLANCHE: You can see in that photo there are photos of women. We learned there were concerns about them.
W: Are you saying those women are victims of Epstein?
B: No, that's not what I'm saying.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

Maria Farmer’s FBI report from 1996. If law enforcement had taken this more seriously, how many Epstein victims might have been spared?

The manipulation of the Epstein files by the Trump administration to falsely implicate political rivals is not only extraordinarily malevolent — it’s also extraordinarily inept.
Surely some kind of crime is being committed here by the DOJ

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

HOLY SHIT -- Fox News's John Roberts pushes Lutnick on the fact that Trump's claims about cutting drug prices by 600% are literally mathematically impossible.
Lutnick says "basically what he's saying, and we all know what he's saying, is we're hammering the price of drugs down."

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

An email account belonging to Jeffrey Epstein used the name "Pedophiles" to sign up for Trump's campaign alerts.
So the Trump 2020 campaign sent out automated emails to "Pedophiles."
Can't make this shit up.
