Description

On the Epstein matter, the current DOJ is not just putting its thumb on the scale for Trump. It's his defense team. Make no mistake: The top two officials at the Justice Department are executing Trump's wishes to cover-up the victims' statements and the details about Epstein's 2008 sweetheart deal. It's the president's cover-up, and the mainstream media needs to call it for what it is. And over at CBS's "60 Minutes," Bari Weiss wants Trump to know she's on the administration's side as well. Meanwhile, Vance made clear at AmericaFest that he's cool with literal Nazis in the MAGA coalition as he readies for his 2028 run. Plus, Kushner and Witkoff are still doing Putin's bidding, the governor of Louisiana is adding the (pretend) invasion of Greenland to his portfolio, and Tim reads from the Monday Mailbag. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller. Bring on the holiday cheer and treat yourself - or someone you love - to Soul this season! Right now, Soul is offering my audience 30% off your entire order!

When the DOJ says they’re doing everything possible to protect the victims via redactions..I keep thinking they are refering to the abusers. Millionaires and Billionaires

I know because I've worked (as a teacher) in the federal prison system that people are not moved to a nicer joint for their own safety. They are put in solitary for their safety. Getting moved to a "camp," as they call it, is a reward for something.

Hmm, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was sent to El Salvador, where he was tortured and threatened. Maxwell ends up in Club Fed for her safety. She was convicted of heinous crimes much worse than those alleged against KAG. Irony or injustice.

The victims are talking about coming out with the names of the exploiters. They should! In big numbers!

This is NOT a partial cover up! This is the largest cover up in American history!
