Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Money assuages many a qualm about the ethics/morality of one’s actions. Particularly once you’ve already sold what little soul you have.
It's absolutely shameless how Fox News hosts help launder Trump's lies, as illustrated by this 55 second clip. I have no idea how they can live with themselves since they are smart enough to know what they're doing.

Malicious compliance is one method for so gumming up the works that ‘management’ will be forced to reconsider an edict like this.
If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

This reeks of desperation. They have nothing substantive to add to the ‘conversation’ – not that they ever did – so they are resorting to sophomoric ad hominem attacks that, frankly, have no tread.

Husted on why Trump isn't taking questions on Epstein: "Oh, I mean, I think he's been focused on trying to get the govt reopened and trade deals and all of the things that will help make Americans' lives better by reducing the cost of products and giving people jobs. That's where his focus is."

Holy hell! Yes, there's a difference, but legality isn't it!
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
