Distract from an Epstein story that is a decade old. You are a terrible read of what is happening.
Funny how for the last 4 years there was ZERO news about Epstein. Now, all of sudden, there is news galore about him! Comically amateurish.
That’s because Kash and Bongino spent the last 4 years promising to expose Epstein clients.
Why didn’t anyone from the previous administration do this?
Yep. These companies that have anti-Semitic leadership need to be held to account. What did you gather from that tweet?
A certain segment of the media hopping on Epstein all of a sudden is indeed a distraction. I just think some people miss exactly who is distracting from what. As repugnant as the whole Epstein situation apparently was, what anyone who was intellectually honest knew about Russiagate (and the rest of the many-tentacled conspiracy) from the start that we're now seeing proof of, and arguably more so exactly what was going on in the executive branch while a man with dementia was ostensibly running it, are the things that need to be fully exposed and corrected if we want the US to continue to be a free society with limited government that reflects the will of the people. It's amazing to see people other than the principal actors so resistant to exposing what really happened.
Tying federal disaster relief aid to anything to do with a foreign country is absolutely insane.
Ridiculous. Toss the salad and get back to the melting pot.
Mr. Fast and Furious race baiter still offering dumb opinions.
Bondi has brought the DOJ to its lowest point in US history. You guys like how it has been politicized for an absurd and impossible claim that the DOJ committed a crime in deciding to prosecute. Hopeless cultist led around like lemmings. Russia hoax is an Obama conspiracy after it was a claimed to be a Clinton conspiracy; Jan. 6 was an FBI conspiracy; Trump actually won the 2020 election 8 million votes were stolen or switched;, Epstein papers are an Obama, Biden hoax.If Turley states it, you know it is false. The man also sold his soul to FOX and RW media to make a buck. THE CONSPIRACY HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED AND FOUND TO BE FALSE AT LEAST THREE TIMES BY REPUBLICANS. You guys don't remember when Trump pressured Barr to appoint a special counsel to investigate the investigators. After two years of trying his best, they found the conspiracy to be false, no wrongdoing by the investigators. Trump pulls it as a distraction again and you MAGAs actually think it is true? OMG
In a vacuum perhaps but in this case, leverage has to be used to stop anti-Semitism, correct? There’s no leverage quite like money.
Just wait until power shifts. Do we want Dems withholding funds if states cooperate with ICE, or states that don’t endlessly support the trans movement? What if Dems did this to state leaders who didn't give unlimited support to Ukraine? Would you have cheered that on?
Slippery slope guys. The GOP won’t hold power forever. History says the position of power won’t last long.
Saying this, I support Israel doing everything in its power to destroy Hamas. You can believe that while also seeing the downside in making disaster relief contingent on compete support for another country.

Despite the fantasies dancing in your head, Jonathan Turley voted for Clinton in 2016.
They didn't campaign on exposing the predators and prosecuting them. The GOP did, repeatedly. I don't understand how people can't see the difference.
The Dems had different priorities. Terrible ones, but they didn't talk about Epstein. Trump's team did. That's why there is more scrutiny now. Not that complicated.
Major Dem policy was bringing millions of undocumented people into our country. They were scrutinized for that and lost power.
Dems can’t do that because the states would be submitting to the Supremacy Clause. That would be a very quick win for the States at SCOTUS. The Trump Admin has constitutional grounds with which to withhold funds for Title IX violations. The Federal government withheld funds from states that didn’t want to support seat belt laws (buckle up. It’s the law). Now of course withholding funds from hospitals that do gender mutilation of minors is viewed as mean, while the court system ruins Christian bakers who don’t want to bake a cake or cater to a LGBTQ+ wedding. Your Brandon administration for which you didn’t lift a finger to get voted out withheld funds from Western Carolina/Eastern TN if they were Trump supporters and as an admin did nothing for the victims. #fjb
If that's true, bring some charges.
Withholding aid from disaster victims for a political cause seems like a bad idea. Sounds like you support it as long as the good team is doing it.

Tennessee governor denies hurricane relief delay by Biden - Nashville Banner
Republicans criticize Biden administration for delayed response to Hurricane Helene in Tennessee. Governor Lee clarifies no unusual delay.
nashvillebanner.com
"Lee requested an emergency declaration on Friday afternoon, and it was approved in less than a day, allowing the state to qualify for some reimbursements from the federal government immediately. While Tennessee’s designation came after some other states, that was predicated on when the governor made the request and the fact that hurricanes rarely result in this level of damage in landlocked Tennessee.
“We declared it when we determined that there was a widespread disaster going on,” Lee said. “And it’s important to note, too, that the response was quick from the federal government that allowed for that reimbursement.”"
It is a slippery slope but there is a cultural war going on and if republicans play nice, they’ll get stomped like they always have. Enough of that ********. Smash the left at all costs.
