Could we ask how much crypto came in between “the list is on my desk” and “we went trough everything and confirmed there is no list”? Have we finally found where all these deals that were being made were actually happening, maybe? They certainly weren’t working through the foreign trade deals. . . One can wonder.

Thank you so much for the NYT gift link. They are so incompetent they can’t even get their criming right. And yet, apparently, there is no one to stop them. I know it doesn’t help anything, but I’m feeling more and more bitter about Merrick Milquetoast Garland. I feel like if there is any accountability to be had in any of this it will have to come from outside the United States in International Court.

Currently reading a book "Divorcing the Dictator" about Panama's General Noreiga. Not quite finished but author's point of view is that Noreiga had to be taken down by Bush Administration because the Reagan administration failed to reign in state prosecutors in Florida who were determined to prosecute Noreiga for drug dealing. Things just got out of control. Noreiga could not be allowed to leak to the world what he knew and he knew a LOT about CIA/Intelligence in the U.S. and the world. Noreiga involved in running guns to Contras and to Sandinistas. He was on the CIA payroll for decades and, at one time, making as much or more from the CIA annually as the salary for the President of the United States!

Perhaps Florida will once again pull the house down because Florida prosecutors want people to be held accountable for the crimes Epstein committed? Also, the victims are still alive and have been denied justice as a result of Epstein's "suicide".

David Cay Johnston thinks the house of cards won't collapse because the client list includes both Democrats and Republicans. There are too many things that could unravel that would be damaging to too many powerful people and the existing political system.

Still, won't give up the wish that Epstein, from the grave, could pull Trump out of the chair behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office and remove him permanently from power and the White House.

And Maxwell went to prison for no reason. No pardon there. She should have charged the Capitol rather than get girls for someone else's dick. Pardon my candor.

How horrible do you have to be if Epstein calls you a horrible human being?

Trump hesitates about releasing Epstein files. "There's a lot of phony stuff with that whole world.":

It’s all just so absurd. And all of the dipshits applauding from the sidelines. Ignorance truly must be bliss.
