There is only one reason Trump directed Bondi to investigate specific names in the Epstein files.
It’s so the DOJ can stonewall growing calls for their full release.

People are often surprised when I don’t dismiss out of hand reports that someone has seen a big cat in England. My latest post also lays out why I’m adding capuchins, spider monkeys and friends to that list.

I just remembered going to a first aid training course with a colleague who'd never done one before (I'd done like 6 at that point) and he asked me if we'd be practicing CPR on the other attendees, like we did bandages the day before.
