Wolff: This is a key issue right now in the way the White House is looking at the Epstein scandal. The fear is that Ghislaine Maxwell can tie Donald Trump to the details of what Trump and Epstein called the P*ssy Committee. The Committee consisted of their efforts to get girls for Prince Andrew.

Newsom: He knows he’s going to lose in the midterms, and we have the opportunity to de facto end the Trump presidency in less than 18 months. That’s what’s at stake. That’s why we’re putting a stake in the ground. We’re not drawing lines just to draw lines—we’re holding the line: on democracy.

Virginia Giuffre was first trafficked by Epstein in 2001. Within one year, Trump would tell NY Magazine of Epstein, "It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." Meaning he clearly knew who Epstein was and STILL exposed these girls to him.

It’s pretty obvious they’re going to use Maxwell to absolve Trump so it would be wise for Democrats to get out there and remind everyone — she wasn’t a victim and she wasn’t merely an accomplice in luring girls into Epstein’s trap; she was also allegedly an active participant in these girls’ abuse.

Incredible. Federal prosecutors are seeing many cases of people accused of assaulting Border Patrol agents being turned down by grand juries! Los Angeles federal prosecutors are privately saying it’s because CBP agents are just “arresting first and asking questions later.”
One of the three officials, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said concerns are growing among prosecutors about the accuracy of statements by federal immigration agents that serve as the basis for criminal charges.
"There are a lot of hotheaded [Customs and Border Protection] officers who are kind of arresting first and asking questions later.
We're finding there's not probable cause to support it," said the prosecutor, who requested anonymity over concerns of repercussions.
