Scarborough: "Trump is not on Epstein's list. There's nothing in there really damning about Trump or Bill Clinton. So one of the great mysteries is not what Trump's hiding, it's why if he's not in the files - which all the reporting says he's not - why is he so obsessed on blocking access to them?"

This is stunning. Blanche is claiming, with a straight face, that the only federal prison where a convicted sex offender can adequately be protected from other inmates just so happens to be a minimum security prison that gives her puppy playdates.
Truly preposterous.

As a historian I've looked at hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents. And I just have to say that aside from being obviously illegal and clearly suggestive of some major crime, this “redaction” business is not a position in which serious people or serious governments find themselves
There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is for this legendary Kentucky brand. The last time Jim Beam closed down like this was during Prohibition. Trump’s tariffs & fight with Canada are surely to blame.

Can we please have a prosecutor, FBI agent or staff worker who is a hero? Who values truth over a paycheck? Who will stand up for the victims? Who will comply with a court order and release the files?
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
