Scott maybe we need to add a link to contact Congress about Pam Bondi not releasing ALL of the Epstein files.

I modified your letter ("Help us push for an investigation into Trump's Epstein coverup: https://tinyurl.com/4pfh2p4f") to say this: (feel free to use or adapt)

===============

I am outraged at the lawbreaking of the Department of Justice!

Congress passed a law mandating the release of the Epstein Files with only the victims' names redacted. The DOJ agreed to it. Trump signed it. A deadline was set. And then what was turned over was worthless: page after page of pure black or blacked-out text.

Is this a joke? The DOJ had months to make any necessary redactions and on top of that they had an additional 30 days by law. And this is what we get: an insult.

It's bad enough that Republicans have allowed this coverup, but now THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW.

The American people deserve to know the truth! Hundreds of girls were RAPED by powerful men and Republicans are denying those girls justice. Does the GOP approve of child rape? They are trying to make sure the rapists are not revealed and not punished.

I appeal to you and to every Member of Congress to see that all the files are released and that the rapists are outed and put in prison just as any rapist should be, regardless of wealth or social status.

I also wrote this letter the next day (today) to the same Congress-Critters:

====================

The bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) — introduced by Reps. Thomas Massie and Khanna — requires the DOJ to publicly release all unclassified materials related to Epstein's crimes in a fully searchable and downloadable format. This they did not do.

The deadline is past. Attorney General Bondi must be held accountable for breaking the law. Please begin impeachment hearings against Bondi, who has the ultimate responsibility to honor the wishes of the American people and obey the EFTA.

Bongino’s leaving is not enough but it’s a start. The Pulitzer board has become a beacon that ALL corporations need to follow IMMEDIATELY. With the season of football coming to a close, I keep hearing that chant we shouted in school: PUSH THEM BACK, WAY BACK!

Since this is the most sophomoric regime ever, the loss of decorum and Neanderthalism have returned and need to be exchanged with respect, kindness, and compassion for all the victims who have suffered the most egregiously because of this regime.

The children in the regime need to be held fully accountable by the courts and Congress, and if they won’t, a final third impeachment needs to happen. Wiles might be used—the mother of the regime?

The Hague is so close & I look forward to seeing the trials starting with Hegseth’s murders.

By now Trump should realize that what is often revealed at trial by disclosing evidence can be detrimental to one’s health, especially if you’re Donald Trump.

⬆️"By now Trump should realize that what is often revealed at trial by disclosing evidence can be detrimental to one’s health, especially if you’re Donald Trump.'

Exactly!!

I'd love to see a score card of Trump's civil lawsuits since Trump 1.0. (I know he was very successful at threatening to sue contractors back in the day). IMO it should be divided into 5 categories:

1) settled out of court by party being sued by Trump

2) cases dropped because Trump doesn't want to provide Discovery materials

3) cases thrown out of court by judges as frivolous - I can recall at least one of those

4) cases Trump has won at trial

5) cases Trump has lost at trial

I think category 1 is much bigger than category 4 because of all the media companies that have been caving in advance of any trial!

Category 1 would also include the Legal firms and universities that have bowed to DJT. DISGUSTING!!!!

I didn't think he was threatening to sue any of them. He threatened law firms with cutting off government access and universities with cutting off funding. But I may have missed some threatened lawsuits!

Cheryl, I think you are right about that. There are so many ways to pull strings when one has the powers/leverage that the Supreme Court has given DJT.

I really hope the Pulitzer board will get those records but I don’t hold out much hope. He always gets away with the grift but I’m glad they are pressing him. He will drop the suit and make up some story about why. The Kennedy Center makes me angry and I hope people stop buying tickets and I hope performers will refuse to perform until his name is pulled off of the building. As far as Bongino goes, good riddance, but it seems like there are some cracks in GOP loyalty so there’s hope they won’t confirm another incompetent!

Patti, I hold on to the fact that once that orange POS is gone, everything with his picture and name on it will be taken down and replaced with the actual leaders who deserved the honor. He thinks he can take their successes and make them his own by putting his name and stupid face everywhere - he is so wrong!

I can’t believe he is going to go back to podcasting since what he built his brand on was taking down all the pedos in the Epstein files. He has shit the bed big time on that subject. He is a part of the coverup now, no matter how much he runs away from it.

I have heard more than one pundit opine that Trump has failed to accomplish much of his agenda because of that arrogance. Historically, authoritarian takeovers are more likely to succeed when they chip away at rights more gradually.

Re the lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize committee: Donny does this a lot — makes a big, attention-getting show of filing preposterous lawsuits, then later, quietly withdrawing them, assuming that so much subsequent b.s. has occurred since the filing that no one will remember.

Happy day that Bongino is leaving. But like you, Scott, I doubt his replacement won’t be any better. No one with an ounce of morales or integrity will sign on with the FBI with Trump at the helm of our country.

I think it’s awesome that the Pulitzer Board suit is demanding everything out there on Trump. It’s flipping delicious!

#1 GOOD

#2 "!'ll see you in court" is not a really great plan if you yourself have a lot to hide. The discovery rules in the Federaal coirts throw the gates wide open to inquiry you won't like. It has been that way for a long, long time. Better that you pay attention.

Agreed, Stuyvesant, to his detriment T. is not an advance planner like a rational human being but instead uses compounded lies and bluster to create a furor as he tries to run and hide. Great that the smart members of the Pulitzer Board come back to bite him. He will go down. Thank you for your work, Scott!
