Mockler: He said he grabbed women because they let him do it. You heard that clip, right? Abuse of power dynamics. Now that he's in office, he's abusing these same power dynamics to cover up the files, delay the releases, redact.

Trump and Co. Can’t Keep Their Lies Straight
From the Epstein files to the Justice Department, it’s hard for the mooks to remember which lie they’re supposed to tell.

MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.
