Unbelievable

Pam Bondi did it again

Another batch of the Epstein files was released-in which Trump was featured prominently-but the Department of Justice promptly took them down a few hours later

Sure looks like Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have enough evidence to hold her in contempt

When the president says “national security” he gets additional powers

And when the president says “emergency” he gets additional powers

And when the president says “terrorists” he gets additional powers

Requires presidents who do so rarely, in good faith, only when circumstances make it necessary
The White House is now citing "national security" for everything it does. Seriously, check out these headlines. It's just the last few weeks.

If you know authoritarian history, then you know how menacing this is.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNOW show has 2 Epstein survivors blasting DOJ for failing to properly redact names, leaving some survivors‘ identities newly revealed. They suspect DOJ’s top priority is to protect other people — not the survivors. “We’re being re-traumatized by our government.”

White men are 30% of the population.

They are also:

- 98% of presidents
- 90% of CEOs
- 90% of billionaires
- 80% of Congress

Forever oppressed.

NEWS: Bill Clinton is demanding full transparency from the Trump DOJ on the Epstein files.

Clinton’s spokesman says the DOJ’s selective release suggests someone is being protected.

He calls on Trump to direct Bondi to immediately release all remaining materials referencing Clinton.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

With the 60 minutes leak, the many recent Epstein releases, etc., I think we are seeing the future of government accountability under authoritarianism:

Leaks, hacks, data dumps, releases of big document caches.

Journalists and the public will have to learn how to digest this stuff. 🧵

Trump, Sept. 20, in reference to Erik Siebert, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia: “He didn’t quit, I fired him!”

Trump’s deputy AG, three months later: Siebert wasn’t fired, he quit.

These guys keep assuming that we all have bad memories.
WELKER: Is the DOJ taking directions about who to prosecute from President Trump?

BLANCHE: No. Of course we're not. And also, Mr. Siebert wasn't fired because he refused to bring cases. He resigned.

Todd Blanche wants us to believe that Ghislaine Maxwell - a high profile inmate he says faced numerous death threats - was moved to a less secure prison for her own safety. That makes no sense. Don’t buy what he’s selling.
WELKER: Why was Ghislaine Maxwell moved just days after you interviewed her?

BLANCHE: That's a Bureau of Prisons security issue that I will not talk about

WELKER: Did you have anything to do with it?
