Judge Boasberg’s comments reveal he and his colleagues hold an anti-Trump bias, for the Trump Administration had complied with every court order to date (and since for that matter). The D.C. District Court judges’ “concern” also went counter to the normal presumption courts hold — one that presumes public officials properly discharged their official duties. Apparently, that presumption does not apply to the current president, at least if you are litigating in D.C.

And what is both troubling and ironic is that only a few days later, Judge Boasberg, in a case in which he completely lacked jurisdiction, as the Supreme Court would later confirm entered a lawless order commanding the Trump Administration to halt removals to El Salvador. So, one of the judges concerned about Trump following the law, ignored the law.”

In 1974, President Ford declared inflation “public enemy number one” and urged the public to wear WIN pins, or “Whip Inflation Now” pins. At the time, inflation was around 7%. The pins were immediately ridiculed, and even worn upside down to say “NIM” or “Need Immediate Money.”

Jeffrey Epstein Was Not a Spy, says Former Lawyer Alan Dershowitz - Newsweek

That is from 2020.

‘There is no client list’: Jeffrey Epstein’s former lawyer Alan Dershowitz
oh well. shoot I mean if Alan Dershowitz says it, it must be true! *rolleyesemoji*.

a) Alan Dershowitz is a proven liar and one of the biggest lying pieces of shit on planet earth, so who gives even one iota of a fuck what that asshole says.

b) Dershowitz wouldn't know jack about Epstein's intel ties, he's a high profile very prominent criminal defense attorney. that's it.

c) Epstein wasn't a spy- he was more or less an asset- a tool- a liaison, a broker- a middle man to do money laundering, financial fixing, deal making for things intel services want and needed off the books and/or didn't have money in the budget for.

I don’t recall an issue President Trump floundered on as much as this. 

I disagree with almost all of President Trump’s policies, but he is typically politically savvy enough to understand and keep his base happy. The whole Epstein saga has been rake step after rake step.

yeah, it's astonishing really. and it really started as a self-inflicted wound to the administration because of his AG opening her mouth and his FBI Director and FBI Deputy Director running their mouths for YEARS about Epstein before they got into their roles in the FBI.

everyone will go to immediately- "Trump must be in those files so he's covering his own ass" - but the reality is the pressure he's getting from CIA, Israel, US politicians, and some of the most powerful world titans of finance & industry who had Epstein ties to just kill the whole Epstein thing and sweep it under the rug and cover it up and make it go away must be downright unbelievable.

Trump's problem thus far is it hurts him with his base, but I suspect they will prove to have short memories.

his base is revolting on him right now over this, and has been for over a week plus now. only other time I can remember them doing that to him was over the COVID vax....but they got over that eventually. you're probably right in that they'll get over this and fall back in line- eventually.

I haven't been interested enough to look hard into the theory that Epstein was some intel asset, but I never saw any convincing evidence he was, just speculation and some claims by folks he was.  I tend to doubt it, though it is certainly a possibility, along with others.

I suspect were he a real asset he would have been shielded from Federal prosecution.

In reality, I'm not sure how it matters to most of us.
