It's been a bit over a month at St Vincents' Hospital for fairly major head surgery, and then some rehab time at Sacred Heart - I've been discharged and am home again. Lots of outpatient stuff and a whole lot of medication still to come, of course.

Seems very good. Is there reason or opportunity here to evoke JE's Clinton connection? He had been publicly connected to the former President and became a proxy for the considerable anger at high levels of the Federal government that still surrounded Clinton. Likewise now, one reason to revive the story is that it is a way to tar a Trump administration official, who, in the normal course of his duties, happened to deal with the case.

Here goes:
"Sweetheart deal! " So goes the critique of the resolution of a long-ago case involving our former client -- and now-friend -- Jeffrey Epstein. The critique is profoundly misplaced, supported neither by the law or the facts, nor by the structure of our constitutional republic. To the contrary, Jeffrey was subjected to an unprecedented federal intrusion into a quintessentially local criminal matter in south Florida. His offense to the social order --involving sex for hire -- was entirely a matter entrusted to laws of the several States, not the federal government. His conduct - a classic state offense --was being treated exactly that way by able, honest prosecutors in Palm Beach County, but the overweening federal government intruded where it did not belong. And now, over ten years after the fact, the current assault on federal decision-makers at the time, including now-Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta (then the United States Attorney in south Flo…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tsveacqzpqosfuahoqgsfu4a/bafkreifar5zmwmxqu4mpkceln5rninlk2kficvndbnp6muhraqfnqtgtm4@jpeg)

This is true in a technical sense — i.e. how can the NYT cover an allegation that their own reporter (Landon Thomas Jr.) kept secret from them?
But people aren't wrong to wonder "conspiracy". The NYT assigned 10 journalists to investigate Jayson Blair's resignation — how many investigated LT Jr's?
