Epstein had a huge team of lawyers. This one died….at 80.

How does this add to the bad smell?

Clickbait nonsense like that just makes our side look like Fox and MAGA-world media.

Mike Johnson shuts down the house to prevent a vote on releasing the Epstein files, ahead if the Subcommittee on Government Operations about to depose Ghislaine Maxwell the Deputy AG Todd Blanche is going to meet with in imprison. It is a circus.

It's a link about the son of a guy whose last name is Black -- Leon, not Roy.

You should just delete your entire post on the grounds of embarrassment.

Dr. Joseph Dolan: You know, it's a shame about Ed.
Fletch: Oh, it was. Yeah, it was really a shame. To go so suddenly like that.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: He was dying for years.
Fletch: Sure, but... the end was very... very sudden.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: He was in intensive care for eight weeks.
Fletch: Yeah, but I mean the very end, when he actually died. That was extremely sudden.

What makes this case especially interesting is the multiple connections the attorney had between the local, state and federal officials like Alexander Acosta who played a part in covering up the miscarriage of Justice on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein he helped birth.

Less interesting is how fast so many DUers posted to defend it as “normal,” “nothing to see,” “move on!”

He was 80 and his family stated he had been ill. Do you have evidence to the contrary?

I am free to express thoughts on the connected guy’s convenient passing.

What do you think of him getting the NAZI gasbag Limbaugh off the hook for, what I remember without Google, an indictment that included conspiracy to distribute OxyContin?

No. That book is closed. Time to move on. Yet the system that produced the current situation where the Courts, Executive and Congress are corrupt continues unmentioned, let alone stopped.

Fuck Trump. Fuck John Roberts. And fuck that noise.

Probably just weird timing.

Unless he fell out a 4th story window.
