Nope, the QB's middle initial is "R"

Wait.......

A federal judge in DC rules that Kari Lake was not lawfully appointed and that actions she took as the claimed head of USAGM "shall have no force or effect," including last August's RIFs at the Voice of America.

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

Troy Murray was always very kind and I loved seeing him when I worked at WGN . He will be missed.

Please remember to include Silverio Villegas González and Keith Porter Jr in your ICE/CBP memorials. They, too, were murdered by DHS agents.

I don’t see “journalist” in your bio, so maybe sit this one out.

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

I’m sorry.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

They are shitty for trying to scoop someone who did the actual legwork.

I really hope that Kathy Ruemmler gets raked over the coals for all her attempts to help Epstein launder his public image when she testifies before Congress. Ugh.

From: To: "Berman, Geoffrey (USANYS)" Cc: Subject: Acosta Date: Tue, 09 Jul 2019 17:34:55 +0000 Importance: Normal For our next discussion: https://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epsteins-sick-story-played-out-for-years-in-plain-sight Epstein's name, I was told, had been raised by the Trump transition team when Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who'd infamously cut Epstein a non-prosecution plea deal back in 2007_, was being interviewed for the job of labor secretary. The plea deal put a hard stop to a separate federal investigation of alleged sex crimes with minors and trafficking. "Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?" Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he'd had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He'd cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein's attorneys because he had "been told" to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone," he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)

Prosecutor Alex Acosta, who gave Epstein the plea deal in 2007, only had one meeting on the Epstein case. Was reportedly told that Epstein "belonged to intelligence" and to "leave it alone."

Nothing makes me madder than a hoity-toity firm hiring another hoity-toity firm to investigate sexual misconduct, and then the hired firm says there is "no evidence" that (in this case, Leon Black) broke the law.

There IS evidence, it just comes from victims.

The only person who hung out with Epstein as much as Leon Black was Woody Allen.

Right. But too many aren't doing that.

Leon Black should be in prison. 301 East 66th is where Epstein kept many of his underage victims. He also put a lot of famous people up there.

"Ticking time with shortened schedules and waving all my absent days to fit the scheduling of vile men!"

There is a special place in hell for reporters at major outlets who are cribbing off independent journalists.

Ugh! I'm so sorry you were forced to put this out by some other shitty outlet.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Dropped a few of the new Epstein docs in this thread.

II recalled receiving several "hang-ups" and a lot of brief telephone messages that included words to the effect, "we know where you're at, you need to keep your mouth shut." The people who called knew mother was in a specific assisted living facility. II initially stated the individuals "possibly" called her mother; but when asked how she knew they were aware of her mother's residence in a particular assisted living facility, II stated they called her mother there. The call(s) to her mother included rude language about her mother's age and health. When asked what made II think the calls were related to EPSTEIN/his associates, II responded that she did not think the callers ever said they were calling on behalf of EPSTEIN or TRUMP. II does not have any other

www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

The interviewing agents asked II to provide additional details regarding her first interaction with DONALD TRUMP when she was approximately 13 to 15 years old, in either New York or New Jersey, and while also in the company of JEFFREY EPSTEIN. II clarified that when she previously said TRUMP struck her after she bit him on the penis, she provided further details that he, "pulled (her] hair and punched (her] on the side of (her] head." With respect to mother, (deceased), II recalled her mother spent approximately two years in federal prison in Columbia, South Carolina around the time II was 17 or 18 years old. mother's sentence was related to an embezzlement conviction connected to being blackmailed by JEFFREY EPSTEIN and JIM ATKINS over explicit photographs of II. II asked whether EPSTEIN had a sibling. The investigating Agents inquired as to what made her think he had a sibling. II replied she recalled there

Since the sexual assaults II suffered at the hands of EPSTEIN and his associates, II was threatened on numerous occasions by unidentified people she believed were connected to EPSTEIN. mother was also threatened on numerous occasions prior to her death. The first incident II could recall occurred in approximately III. when II was 16-17 years old. ■ was living in a suburb in South Carolina at the time. mother had been arrested for embezzlement, and could not pay the restitution. II called ATKINS at the University where he worked (unidentified) to ask him for help. She recalled she asked him why he "fixed" her mother's real estate books, only to later turn her mother in [to the police]. ATKINS responded to II by stating words to the effect that, he did not, "give a shit if you end up in the gutter. Don't ever contact me again. Your mother knows what will happen." II recalled threatening telephone calls primarily began to occur after II gave birth to her daughter in Several calls listed as "No ID" on her Caller ID system were made to telephone. The voicemail content primarily included only "noises"; however, during one call, a man (unidentified) stated, "Fuck you. You better keep your mouth closed." The man subsequently hung up. II was threatened, "sometimes every two years, then at random times." II never recognized the voices during the telephone calls, but she was certain the callers were not EPSTEIN, ATKINS, or TRUMP. The callers did not have heavy New York accents. She clarified that EPSTEIN did not have a heavy New York accent in general; however, he said certain words with an accent.

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case, the agents asked whether they could audio record the interview. II advised she was not comfortable being recorded at that time. II requested agents explain to her the goal and parameters of the fourth interview. She indicated she was aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run. She asked agents, "what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept. The agents also explained why they wished to keep the fourth interview focused on abuse • endured at the hands of individuals associated with JEFFREY EPSTEIN. II previously mentioned she had sexual contact with (current U.S. President) DONALD TRUMP while she was a minor. She previously explained the contact was facilitated through her association with EPSTEIN. • was asked whether she felt

comfortable detailing her contacts with TRUMP. ■ again asked what the point would be of providing the information at this point in her life when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it. The agents asked II to go home and take as much time as she needed to think about speaking with the agents further. ■ agreed and the interview ended.

Here's why I bring it up:

I learned this lesson early on, watching Dr. Anita Hill tell her story to a dozen skeptical men in Congress.

My SAer wasn’t even even famous, and hundreds of strangers on the internet called me a liar.

Every woman who has been sexually assaulted understands the impulse to just walk away because justice is a pipe dream and you don’t want to put yourself through a second, emotional assault when you tell your story.

Thanks!
