Donald Trump In Panic Mode
In Trump's shouty, hepped-up "presidential" address, we saw a desperate and delusional man. Public pressure can make him weaker.

surprise, surprise. DOJ will release docs over a rolling production over a few weeks -- violation of terms of Epstein law but who's to stop them. Big point is timing -- remember first spin of Mueller Report by Bill Barr? What comes out first will be big influence on public perception.

Missing the deadline = breaking the law.
Deputy AG Blanche just said the Trump DOJ will miss the Epstein files deadline.
He says "several hundred thousand" docs will be released today, "and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more."
All files are required by law to be released today.

Reporter: One woman said that she was brought to Mar-a-Lago by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14, and Epstein kind of nudged Trump and said, 'this is a nice one, right?' If two grown men are staying there with a 14-year-old, what message can you take from that? That's a question for Trump to answer.
