While I could genuinely envision the circumstances being ripe for suicide...this is also the exact same wording I would expect this government and its associated law enforcement agencies to use when describing a murder, particularly one where they dont anticipate representation for the victim.

talk about just enough to keep his supporters on edge. That became a lot less when I think his supporters started to accept the fact he might actually be exposed here. It was really bad whenever on Twitter MAGAs were saying, "hes in the files isnt he."

Notably, Trump told (now comic book anti hero) MTG that he was worried the Epstein files would get his friends in trouble. I imagine however these guys might hate each other they shake a lot of the same hands on a routine enough basis. I dont think Trump wants anything to come out. He only wants to

Its noteworthy to me they want both Clintons to testify, not just Bill. Which isnt to say a woman cant be an offender (vis-a-vis Maxwell), but here I think it just raises the vindictive nature of the case.

For better or for worse, you cant prosecute on believe the victims. I remember the lady who was accusing Robert Mueller of sexual misconduct until she was threatened with a lawsuit...im not certain she was publicly exposed ever, but there was such a lady.

Maybe Bill is actually innocent of any actual crime. Im kind of skeptical, but innocent until proven guilty and so on...if he is guilty, then in my mind the only reason he, or Gates, or any other pertinent Trump enemies wouldnt have been exposed on day one is that everyone gets burned.

I honestly think thats why no ones been called to account...except Maxwell somehow. I keep referring to it as a rich peoples Mutually Assured Destruction.

Im all for the Clintons testifying about whatever role they might have had with Epstein...but Pam has had answers to their questions on her desk for a year now, by her own admission.

If the base argument is he had internal bleeding, then I feel like X is making their case even less by arguing he was additionally pretty banged up...therefore he was released the same day.

Thats kind of wraps then, even if the 1st shot fired was justified (not saying it was) and pretty much given that the 2nd and 3rd weren't. There's at a minimum a dereliction of duty and failure to render timely aid, and at a maximum a murder. There are a multitude of counts to get this guy put away.

I mean party rules might be different, but its disingenuous to say they dont exist. Id favor that they didnt. The tribalism inherent to party politics is the fundamental issue. And it facilitates a system where voters tend to show favor based on that affiliation and more or less independent of

I genuinely thinks he wants us to be at war in 2028 so he can try to make farreaching claim for suspending an election. I truly believe he would start a war with amyone for that reason.

He cares about not getting impeached and he'll endorse whoever agrees with him the most and is least inclined to impeach. Its a toss up to what extent he'll actively participate in anything illegal to disrupt the midterms, but he's demonstrated a repeated disregard for the law that cant be ignored.
