DOJ says Epstein review is "over."
"We're not going to release all the documents, or do a damn thing about any of them, but we are all just headed out for mojitos to celebrate, if you want to come along" said Deputy Director Blanche. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

The humiliation of being spurned by world-class creatives is simply more than Trump's narcissism can bear.

ChatGPT drew me a typical decay curve for box-office receipts on new movies. See graph below. Note steep decay rate of ≈45%/week.
Chat estimates total revenue after 1 yr ≈2.76x of whatever opening 1st-week rate is.
At that rate, "Melania" in theaters should gross ≈$24M ≈1/3 of production cost.

Isn't it odd how the FBI can quickly discover threats to Trump, but "can't investigate" his ties to Epstein? Like the CIA, they have what the spy industry calls "plausible deniability," and the rest of us call "bullshit excuses." thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Q: How does someone w 2K Followers, whose Posts normally get just a handful of Likes & Reposts, suddenly get this, for a pretty vanilla post?
I'm guessing "Bot Army." I estimate HALF my "Followers" are bots. Somebody controls how those behave. My guess is they elevate Posts the Master says to.

IMHO, this just doesn't smell right. Nobody in gvt could've surreptitiously released 3M documents & gotten away w it. Bold gestures like that are almost ALWAYS uncovered. Why? Because that's an FBI specialty, AND there's typically at least one person who'll spill the beans.
I’ve been scratching my head all day about why and who in the DOJ did this.

This is obviously worth investigating, although it should be done by an unimpeachable group. I'd suggest Europeans.

Epstein's sex empire was 'KGB honeytrap'
The release of more than three million new documents relating to the late sex offender gives credence to claims made by senior security officials: that Epstein was working on behalf of Moscow.
