Wow. The NYT’s focus is on how the emails show a clubby world that is all but gone in NYC and somehow that is more important than children being the victims of wealthy sexual predators? Maybe the NYT’s Board of Directors & the companies they work for have something to do with that choice.

There ya have it! The felon wants Clinton and others investigated to prevent the Epstein files from being released.
Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax. Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it's a hoax. And I have another concern about these investigations he's announced. If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smokescreen."
