Claire McCaskill just made a good point

Slobby didn’t start changing his tune re Epstein until it went public that his name is all over it.

Matt Dowd calls it a perfect scandal with Donvict all over it and it is not going away. This has way more stickiness than any other one of Slobby’s problems.😀

has a table of contents of the files, so that it could be known which sections are missing?

This administration will never release docs that are damning or even suspicious. They won't even publish a poor economic report. They are revising consequential climate reports from PREVIOUS administrations. They are going to evaluate the Smithsonian so that TSFs version of history is emphasized.

Gutting research, science, health, public health, and educational capabilities. Affecting untold millions. I resent that we have to discuss Epstein and his island when the public appears to be missing the dangerous things being done... but if that's what slows TSF down then I'm for it. However...I'm one who believes his cult and enablers will forgive him anything. Anything. So if the files are released there are corners who will cheer him for it, regardless.

Soon.
My bet is that there is a copy where it needs to be to finally bring him down.

(Erin Burnett's show) and had news from the K-file investigative reporter with documents showing trump flying on Epstein's plane and other developments (I was distracted and will have to watch again). The segment was good and went on for a while. Guess Harry Enton was wrong about Epstein being a nothingburger!
