The only reason Trump got away with it with the Mueller Report is that the press rushed out to publish "Mueller finds no wrongdoing!" headlines. Will they do the same thing with Epstein? (Yes, they will.)
Just a reminder that Trump had his attorney general preempt the Mueller Report with a self-serving “summary” and the media ran with it and it defined everything that came after.
Something to remember as we wait for a probably doctored and scrubbed “Epstein Files” report.

If House Democrats have any sense, they'll put together a "contract with America" kind of a document, saying exactly what they will do if they get the majority in next year's election, at a "impeach this guy, specifically" level of granularity.

Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein.
So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners.

not to bring the vibe down, but my guess is that after tonight Trump will probably double down on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and intimidation as tactics to disincentivize Dem turnout ahead of next year‘s midterms. (with margins like these, it won’t matter, but it’s a time to be vigilant)
