The Epstein Email Cache: 2,300 Messages, Many of Which Mention Trump An analysis of documents released this week by Congress shows President Trump was mentioned in more than half of the messages.

Congress released a cache of documents this week that were recently turned over by Epstein’s estate. Among them: more than 2,300 email threads that the convicted sex offender either sent or received between 2008 and 2019.

Trump first. He's going to use the Justice Department and claim that the Epstein files cannot be released because of ongoing investigations.

Clyburn calls out Bessent for trying to take credit on a project in his district initiated by Biden.

This man, Rev. Michael Woolf, wrote this for us earlier this month: "It is up to us to keep our communities safe from this terror, and scripture tells us that God will meet us there—at the picket line, amid the tear gas." sojo.net/articles/opi...

A graphic from the front page of the WSJ, titled, "The Epstein Email Cache: 2,300 Messages, Many of Which Mention Trump." Using blue does it compares how many of the email threads released by Oversight are about various people. 1,670 are about Trump. 207 mention Michael Wolff. 155 Kathryn Ruemmler, 117 Larry Summers, and 512 Clinton.

This new investigation will enable Trump to continue to keep the Epstein files from the public. Watch what happens after Congress votes to release them. Bondi will say ' nope can't do it because now there is an open investigation.'
They really think the American people are stupid!

Well I see Megan Kelly is warming up the “Sure, Trump is a pedophile, but not one of the bad pedophiles.” defense. Look for more of this.

The bullshit just doesn't stop.

I’m no great fan of the ACA.

I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system.

But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.
