Gill on Epstein Files: I reached out to sources and they say that not only did New York send over everything they had in March, but that the entire review process—using roughly a thousand analysts from the FBI’s Information Management Division—was specifically to review the files from New York

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

Textbook example of how neofundamentalists and MAGA theocrats cynically (ab)use the Bible so that its chief function is to provide them with a scriptural imprimatur to pursue antecedently-held bigotries. I'm sure Wolfe implored his fellow believers to observe this sacred duty in the Obama years.

Pardoned by Trump after convicted of 12 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion. Don’t have to pay back $17.8 million in restitution or serve 12 year sentence. Not Somalis.

What should you do with your extra eels? Split them among your friends, yo!
In 973 Bishop Æthelwold gave 16k eels to Thorney Abbey & Peterborough Abbey: each monastery got 8,000 annually.
And sure...that seems like a lot. But its only about 22 eels a day! Not even one an hour!

To be sure, Joe Biden had some embarrassing gaffes, and his Atlanta debate performance made clear he wasn't up for a second term
But never once did Biden blurt out the details of a CIA covert op by going on a B-list radio show
Can you imagine the uproar if he had?

Politicians are now saying the way to fix democracy is to have less of it. Give all the power to one elected person who can do whatever they want until we try to remove them. Cool. That's not worrying at all.

I just taught my lecture course on mid-20th c US history, which starts with Harding and concludes with Nixon.
For the first time, I had to pause and stress that those scandals were actually shocking at the time and, what’s more, that Americans actually demanded people be held accountable.

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.
Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

Trump is, of course, lying. He had a falling out with Jeffrey Epstein over real estate, not pedophilia. That was, after all, why the two men were friends in the first place.
