It’s probably not the worst thing that courts & judges are getting weaned off defaulting to the notion of “the presumption of regularity” when the DOJ comes before them. The separation of powers is stronger if the courts are unbiased about the parties that come before them.

I think it’s important to point out that not all of the estimated 1,000+ girls preyed upon by the Epstein-Maxwell sex trafficking scheme are “survivors”. A number of them are dead all or in part because of the trauma and cruelty that they experienced as a result of being drawn in.

On Dec. 8, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein offers a NY Times reporter photos of Donald Trump and "girls in bikinis in my kitchen." Epstein tells the reporter that he "gave" Trump his "20 year old girlfriend...after two years."
When people looked into these type of rumors the Times smugly criticized them.
