Trump has directed his lackey to investigate Epstein’s relationship with Clinton and a raft of others. Sounds noble but in reality it is a ploy. Bondi will use the expanded investigation to prevent the public from seeing the files. She will say she cannot because it is an active investigation.

If GOP senators think they deserve 500K minimum for having their phone privacy invaded how much should citizens and legal residents detained by ICE for being Brown get? 10 million? 100 million?

Steve Bannon? The guy who Michael Wolff said coached Epstein with media training to try to make him seem sympathetic on TV interviews? That guy?

Meanwhile, here's an example of the horrendous things found in Hillary Clinton's emails—the only story worth covering for any serious news outlet in 2016, apparently.
This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

Tim Steller's column: Accountability lacking as bullies target Vail teachers
For Star subscribers: Holding Vail teachers accountable for their tasteless T-shirts is easy. It's harder to hold accountable those who caused chaos by linking the T-shirts to Charlie Kirk's killing.
