They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

BREAKING: Trump-related files withheld from DOJ release. Missing Epstein files include interviews with an accuser of Donald Trump, where she alleged that Trump forced her to perform oral sex on him when she was 13-14 years old. She also accused him of then hitting her. (MS NOW)

This quote from Sydney Reid, who was acquitted in a humiliating case for Jeanine Pirro today, is <<chef's kiss>>. She's right tho--criminal cases have the possibility to backfire in really significant way. www.huffpost.com/entry/sidney...
Reid, in a statement through her attorneys, said the verdict shows “that this administration and their peons are not able to invoke fear in all citizens.”

“I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump’s irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man,” she said. “Knowing that I can stand in front of 12 of my fellow citizens and be found not guilty for standing up for basic human rights makes me feel like, despite the scary times we live in, we have hope for the future.”

Sydney Reid acquitted. This was a case where someone filming was assaulted, and then arrested and charged with felony assault. The grand jury no billed that, so they took her to trial on a misdemeanor charge. There were a bunch of discovery problems. And now this. Kudos to the FPDS!
A verdict form for Sydney Lori Reid. She was found Not Guilty.
