My initial takeaway: jam to-morrow and jam yesterday – but never jam to-day.Report
Redacted or not?Report
From the sounds of it, the contents will be coming out piecemeal. So we’ll get a couple of names here, a couple of names there.
“So there will be names that *AREN’T* released?”
“Sounds like it.”
“So this could be used as a weapon against certain people but other names will remain hidden?”
“Sounds like it.”Report
Florida’s Anna Palina Luna wrote the FBI for a formal response on the Epstein, JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr files.
They sent back a letter saying:
Okay.
What’s the first thing we notice there? That’s right: Diddly Squat.
That’s what they told her. Diddly.
Reading as charitably as possible, I’d say that they said that there are ongoing criminal investigations and potential prosecutions.
That said, it only really makes sense that there would be those things for Epstein and it doesn’t make sense that there would be ongoing criminal investigations and potential prosecutions for JFK, RFK, or MLK Jr.
So I’m mostly just saying that we’re going to have jam to-morrow, just like we had jam yesterday.Report
Just the thing to distract from Trump and Co’s Orbanification of the United States and the dismantling of Social Security and Medicare.Report
Not yet it’s not.Report
“In Trump’s Washington, a Moscow-Like Chill Takes Hold
A new administration’s efforts to pressure the news media, punish political opponents and tame the nation’s tycoons evoke the early days of President Vladimir V. Putin’s reign in Russia.”

“The news media is being pressured. Lawmakers have been tamed. Career officials deemed disloyal are being fired. Prosecutors named by a president who promised “retribution” are targeting perceived adversaries and dropping cases against allies or others who do his bidding. Billionaire tycoons who once considered themselves masters of the universe are prostrating themselves before him.
Judges who temporarily block administration decisions that they believe may be illegal are being threatened with impeachment. The uniformed military, which resisted being used as a political instrument in Mr. Trump’s first term, has now been purged of its highest-ranking officers and lawyers. And a president who calls himself “the king,” ostensibly in jest, is teasing that he may try to stay in power beyond the limits of the Constitution.
Some versions of this are not new, of course. Other presidents have taken actions that looked heavy-handed or put pressure on opponents. No president in my experience at the White House, which goes back to 1996, particularly liked news coverage of him, and certainly there have been times when journalists were penalized for their reporting.”Report
Tsahi Idan’s body was returned to Israel today, Saul. Would you see an attempt to discuss that in response to your talking about Trump as an inappropriate attempt to change the subject?Report
