Release the files. Stop the guessing and speculation.
Trump is increasingly frustrated with how his administration's handling of the furor around the Epstein files has dominated the news and overshadowed his agenda. His exasperation follows weeks of missteps and no clear strategy from officials. "They seem to be in full-bore…
Any doubt Trump will pardon her?
JUST IN: Ghislaine Maxwell now seeking a pardon from Trump after second DOJ meeting
This is becoming more unbelievable and offensive by the day. Trump has always had it in for Obama (remember the 'birther' false narrative when he ran for president the first time) Now, anything to distract from Epstein.
Reporter: How do you think the supreme court's ruling that benefited you on presidential immunity would apply to Obama? Trump: He has done criminal acts, no question about it. But he has immunity and it probably helps him a lot. He owes me big. Obama owes me big.

Good point. Don't expect anything new in the Trump-Epstein matter.
I’m a former prosecutor. Grand jury transcripts are not going to shed light on anything new in the #Epstein debacle. Grand juries only need probable cause to indict someone. Releasing these transcripts isn’t transparency. It’s a temporary distraction until the next news cycle.

The DNA of migrant children is now in CODIS, the federal database used to identify violent criminals. DHS and DOJ are stonewalling pressure to answer why
The US government has added the DNA of approximately 133,000 migrant children and teens to a criminal database, which critics say could mean police treat them like suspects “indefinitely.” wired.com/story/dhs-and-…
Interesting timing
WASHINGTON (AP) — Justice Department fires Maurene Comey, prosecutor who worked on Epstein case and daughter of ex-FBI director.
