Not “House leadership.” REPUBLICAN House Leadership. This distinction makes a difference.

The drip, drip, drip is so incredibly frustrating…I can only imagine what it does to the survivors…must be excruciating for them.😔

Many of us have been living for this week.

I think a lot of people know that the Republicans who are publicly supporting the release of documents are looking out for their own interests and political futures.

Most of the Justices on the Supreme Court have to go. Impeach them? Trump and his cabinet have to go, all his enablers, impeach them all. Do we have any Patriotic courageous people out there to fight for justice to be done?

I’ve got to comment on the hat Trump was wearing in the picture you chose for the article. I grew up in Colorado. Lots of cowboys there, real ones and men who just enjoy wearing a cowboy hat. Cowboy hats are about sexy western manhood. Trump looks like a 10 year old kid wearing a hat he got at the state fair that is 4 sizes too large for his head. No sexy cowboy going on there. lol

I would like to think that Trump and the other implicated individuals will ultimately be brought to justice but it's more likely Trump will be dead before then and the press and public will lose interest.

Or, it will gather momentum because the people who know how to do that make it happen. It could be "We the People!" Filling every elected representatives voice box and email with citizen complaints about the case every day so that nothing else gets through should get things rolling.

You have got to see the disgusting gif Jeff Tiedrich posted in his newsletter today of Trump groping his daughter. You have to scroll down a bit.

Trump is so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so disgusting. Ivanka must want to hide her daughters from Granddaddy Trump. Of course she is married to another pig, just a different kind we hope. The kind that sells out the US for money. Some would call that Treason.

I've always figured, sadly, that Trump wouldn't have kept his hands off his daughter.

That gif is so so so so so so so so creepy.

Sorry - I didn't look at it. Can't bear just images, really.

This will end up being a ‘short’ week with what’s coming. Ellie Leonard (The Panicked Writer) has been giving us details on more of those emails. Thanks for keeping us updated on the daily trove, Dean, cuz all of this is going to become a doozy by Friday!

If the rainstorm is big enough this week, we could see a presidential resignation and Vance sealing the docs forever. Don't count it out. Too many High Lords and Ladies are compromised--I suspect.

Vance taking power this year without worry about the next, I'd say it's classic 'take the money and run' philosophy of ultra-conservatives. Maxwell will be pardoned and whisked out of the country. Every minor witness connected to Epstein will disappear, maybe into Paraguay.

A Democratic congress couldn't enforce an impeachment unless they fired the corrupt Scotus. Vance can join the Club of Mega-Billionaires and retreat to a private island. He'd have 3 long years to organize that. He could also bribe the remnants of the GOP.

Meanwhile, there's no way Trump can yell Dat Ain't Me, Officer! to his own base.

To whom will the files be released?

If they're still in the hands of ReichsMinister Bondi, they may be corrupted, no?

The Dems or some sort of independent body should be priming the software to detect corruption OF the files, not just RECORDED IN the files. Also, there'd be a very easy way to establish a measure for every reference to the Trumposaurus himself that's being 'redacted'. Just 'find' them and count 'em up -- in 1 second, and give that as evidence. If 75% of such redactions conform to that measure, why, it's reasonable to suspect Trump is under the black ink. Also, context in the sentence will tell whether it's a perp or a victim.

47 won’t be taken down. Nothing ever will. He ALWAYS WINS

Yeah, powerful people didn't want us to know sooner... and other influential people didn't have the courage to stand behind those few who had connected the dots and were trying to get the info out. 💔

At this point I'm interested in what will be done with the files once they're out there. We get enough to compile a list of contacts and associates, with varying levels of potential criminality... Then what? Awareness is one thing; accountability is entirely another.

We don't get it? They were so happy when they were there.

We can, and should press harder, more often, in more ways, every day on these records and not let the mainstream media get away with what they are doing and have done for decades: denying the danger of Donald Trump to our country.
