I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Epstein Files: “Some suggested the Clintons ‘caved’ to Congress’ demands. More likely they’ve set a precedent that requires people with far stronger linkage to Epstein—& their wives—to testify. If they don’t, the GOP-led investigation in Congress will face claims that it’s trying to hide the truth”
