Journalists all pretending that they are actually going to release this stuff. Don't get me wrong. The vote to release them will happen. Then the DoJ will refuse to release anything damning to Trump, and that will literally be the end of it.

You know, it's pretty fucking funny that the GOP majority leader in the senate is more popular that the Dem minority leader -- in the latter's home state. Let that one sink in a bit. Schumer is on borrowed time.

They will vote to release the files, and then the DoJ will release the bits that hurt Trump's opponents -- and this is all we're going to get, folks.

They. Will. Never. Release. The. Trump. Bits.

I hope this clears things up (and that I'm wrong).

What if, and I'm just spitballing here, the president in question is a complete idiot and policies are needlessly destructive.

Then why frame it as one with a misleading headline? The clicks, baby. The clicks. Click-farming is journalistic malpractice, and the NYT is first-division.
This is a very vague and consequently stupid headline, and the copy is a little too coy for the subject matter, but guys, this is an article mainly about how Epstein was able to manipulate his media connections and Manhattan power broker buds to maintain his public image. It’s not a eulogy

Was she solicited by someone at the NYT to write this thread? I can't think if a single former employer I would voluntarily defend.
As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...

I don't think this revolt will go anywhere this election cycle, but it could come to a head in the next one of the one after. Schumer needed to go 20 years ago. He has always sucked.
