OK, Obama was president for the next eight years. This is 2008. He was president till 2016. He & Congress could’ve investigated had special congressional investigations then Trump comes in for four years, kills Epstein, and then Biden just sits on it for another four years. This is what I don’t get.
NEW: Alan Dershowitz tells Jeffrey Epstein prosecutor "You are a real mensch:" Newly released emails show that Florida federal prosecutors had "social" meetings with Epstein's lawyers as they worked to mitigate the sex trafficker's sentence. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/a...
As Epstein’s cushy jail sentence raised concerns, his lawyers went on charm offensive
The Epstein Files show how his attorneys mixed personal and business relationships with prosecutors who had agreed to settle Epstein’s case.

A dark money group called the American Prosperity Alliance is running a TV ad in heavy rotation in Arkansas supporting Sen. Tom Cotton that has one notable feature -- it doesn't mention Arkansas, or Arkansans, at all. Which is somehow rather fitting ...

Everyone take a deep breath for the next couple of days- rest & spend some time with those you love ( even if its a great phone or zoom call ) and re-charge your batteries. We are going to make it - but only together. Make a last minute donation (even if it's just $20) to food pantry, dog rescue etc

NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
![The Government asked this Court to stay the District Court's order. After the response and reply were filed, JUSTICE BARRETT referred the application to the Court. We directed the parties to file supplemental letter briefs on an issue that the District Court had addressed but the parties' initial briefs had not: the meaning of the term "regular forces" in §12406(3). In its supplemental brief, the Government argues that the term refers to civilian law enforcement officers, such as those employed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Federal Protective Service.
Respondents, echoing the District Court, maintain that the term refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary.
We conclude that the term "regular forces" in §12406(3) likely refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary. This interpretation means that to call the Guard into active federal service under §12406(3), the President must be "unable" with the regular military "to execute the laws of the United States." Because the statute requires an assessment of the military's ability to execute the laws, it likely applies only where the military could legally execute the laws. Such circumstances are exceptional: Under the Posse Comitatus Act, the military is prohibited from "execut[ing] the laws" "except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress."
18 U. S. C. §1385. So before the President can federalize the Guard under §12406(3), he likely must have statutory or constitutional authority to execute the laws with the regular military and must be "unable" with those forces to perform that function.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreiftbhzwvn3vgwhqsi7k2paizvdw4t26ailljvovso3chqupnmj364@jpeg)

The U.S. Justice Department has released tens of thousands more documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, a tranche that included multiple mentions of President Donald Trump but added little new information to the long-anticipated public file on the disgraced late financier.
