Now we're cooking with gas.

Kristy Greenberg: "There were letters recently from Rep Jamie Raskin to DOJ leadership that I thought were extraordinary. He basically says in there that he has information that in 01/2025, SDNY had an ACTIVE investigation into other individuals that may be co-conspirators with Jeffrey #Epstein and #GhislaineMaxwell, and that at that point DOJ took all of SDNY files, reviewed them for [President] Donald Trump's name, and then July shut the whole thing down.

Alex Wagner: “I think we also have to put it in the context of like, not only the sort of water he’s [Trump] taking on, but the degree to which he has dispatched all levers of the party firmament to cover this up for him. There’s of course…the FBI, there’s the u-turn that Pam Bondi had to make on releasing the files, there’s Tulsi Gabbard [DNI] who had to cook up a sort of red herring to distract everybody from this by saying Obama had to be investigated, and then there is the position we find ourselves today when the government is finally open, after @speakerjohnson for 41 days, would not let the House come back into session…”

Most of the have terrible skeletons in their past or they support Trump out of spineless fear.

Sad and pathetic.

Firing squad or hanging!

We need to make examples out of those who would destroy our country's values and pilfer her treasure.

Orrex can be the final arbiter of "Is he dead yet?"

Finally, a yes!

Or is this the files Congress is voting on? Can SDNY say give us back our files you took illegally?

6. This administration will never release a report or files that damage the WH. If they do, it's because what is left

unreleased is much worse.

Unless...there are whistleblowers who are familiar with the files and are willing to risk their careers and death threats.
