James Comey is not going to jail, folks.
On the other hand, yet another lawyer who has hitched her star to Donald Trump, may well be on the way to being disbarred.

Summers conferred with Epstein frequently about how to extract sexual favors from a Harvard econ grad (AB '04, PhD '09)

The grad is from China

Epstein and Summers referred to her by the codename "Peril"

The goalposts have now been moved to “purchasing power.” Except the numbers all show that the current economy is only benefiting the purchasing power of the uber rich. bsky.app/profile/atru...
KERNEN: When Trump keeps saying 'prices are falling,' that's not true. I think you should admit that.

HASSETT: But purchasing power has gone up by about $1,200 this year. It's just astonishing to me that the cost problem is somehow being blamed on us.

We finally solved that pesky problem of too many college graduates getting jobs
Kevin Hassett: "I think there could be a little bit of an almost quiet time in the labor market, because firms are finding that AI is making their workers so productive that they don't necessarily have to hire the new kids out of college and so on."

For @Sportsnet

I spoke to Daniel Alfredsson and Tim Stutzle about the bond they've formed on and off the ice.

Alfie explains why he pushed Stutzle to change his stick tape.

"If a Hall of Famer tells you something, probably a lot of it is right."

Even from behind the bench, Daniel Alfredsson is dishing assists for the Senators. Just ask Tim Stutzle, who suddenly found his offence after a suggestion from the assistant coach.

Do journalists really want to put their names behind the claim that palling around with someone known to be a child sex predator—to say nothing of the months-long coverup we’ve all witnessed—does not constitute “wrongdoing”? Apparently yes they do.
Kate Bolduan: "The president has not been accused of any crimes or wrongdoing as it relates to Jeffrey Epstein or these files even with these emails being released. That's one thing we need to make clear. There's no accusations of any wrongdoing so far."

"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

It’s hard to even know where to begin with this. Professor Falk is in his 90s and one of the world’s most prominent international legal scholars. It beggars belief that he could even remotely be considered a threat to Canada.
