Hitting The Fan

GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”@PabloReports pic.twitter.com/aHBx36oguw

Like this?

Just a reminder that Trump’s former criminal defense attorney turned Dep. AG Todd Blanche transferred Ghislaine Maxwell to a Club Fed where she now plays with puppies and goes to yoga classes. pic.twitter.com/osVzhWDplI

Raskin: Trump has been saying recently about how he had kicked Epstein out of his club or asked him to leave and this was at least one report that appears to contradict it pic.twitter.com/hSfNkl8KEP

One more report, anyway.

So Maxwell can chat with Trump’s former personal lawyer, but pleads the Fifth when Congress asks about Epstein’s co-conspirators. What did Trump promise her?

The DOJ needs to release records of their talks with Maxwell.

Shit is hitting the fan:

NEW: The DOJ is now unredacting documents that Congressman Thomas Massie called them out on today after reviewing the unredacted version.

The document on the left is the redacted version. The document on the right is unredacted. pic.twitter.com/iPGIptnvF1

Ansari: What we’ve heard from colleagues is that there are names of potential coconspirators that were redacted—names of rich and powerful people, potentially very high up in this administration, whose names were redacted… pic.twitter.com/PG1w1VY5Mg

Luna: Some of the people in the most egregious redactions are claiming to be victims, and I don’t think you’re a victim if you’re engaging in trafficking. pic.twitter.com/iuv5DFTyEY

Luna: According to the files we saw, Ghislaine Maxwell was engaged in trafficking and rape. I don’t think she deserves special treatment. She’s a monster. pic.twitter.com/N7XamC0bhL

.@PabloReports: Any reaction to what you’ve seen so far in the Epstein files?

Boebert: I think there are folks who are definitely implicated.

.@PabloReports: Do you support clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell?

Boebert: I do not. She should get more time and be in a harsher prison. pic.twitter.com/y4F90F93KF

Khanna: This is bringing down the British government. It may bring down the monarchy. It’s bringing down elites. What are we doing here in the U.S. to stand up to the Epstein class? We’ve got a commerce secretary who is all over the files. pic.twitter.com/3rBMvzTREd

Why limit myself to Epstein?

JUST IN: Justice Department files brief w/4th Circuit, seeking to revive criminal cases against James Comey and Letitia James, arguing that AG has power to make successive interim US attorney appointments. Doc: https://t.co/L5kZgOTkFx

Unitary executive, bay-bee! Because if you can’t get Congressional approval, what’s the point of being President? Cooperation with Congress? As if! With attorneys quitting left, right, and sideways, we have to appoint people who will still work for us, qualified be damned! Forget that pesky Appointments Clause! 

They really are determined to shoot their own feet. With a shotgun.
