Here’s a thought for James Comer. There IS a First Lady who has had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. And it’s not Hillary Clinton. It might be worthwhile for Comer to subpoena the First Lady who actually knows Epstein. You know, just to see what she knows.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.
The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.
