It's not clear from the text below, but if you watch the clip, Megyn is basically saying that she knew for years that he was into children, but is only now disgusted that it turns out he had CSAM on his computer, too. Just revolting apologia while Batya nods along like a clown.
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."

The problem with this tactic is that sooner or later MAGA world is going to need to trust that Kash Patel and JD Vance can say the word "ephebophile" at a press conference without making an oopsie. Bridge a little too far, imo.

This could be the best or only example of a national act's album that has a Minneapolis song on one side and a Saint Paul song on the other:
"Rocket to Russia" (Ramones)
- "Cretin Hop" (St. Paul)
- "Surfin' Bird" (Minneapolis)
"Rocket to Russia" (Ramones)
- "Cretin Hop" (St. Paul)
- "Surfin' Bird" (Minneapolis)
This Minneapolis-related track on Side 2 of the Ramones' "Rocket to Russia" album, is a twinned companion to "Cretin Hop," the lead track on Side 1, an homage to Cretin Avenue in Saint Paul.

It is of course among the least appalling things about the emails, but lol at Epstein using the big long privilege footer that has precisely as much legal force as your aunt posting on Facebook that she doesn’t give Meta permission to use her photos or whatever
