Epstein Files: all of the evidence
Jack Smith: the full reports (Jan 6 and stealing documents)
Trump's ties to Russia 2026:The uredacted Muller Report

it runs deeper, wider, historically and temporally, than any of us imagined. The light bulbs are starting illumination.

uproots and destroys it. What entity is enforcing international sovereignty?

We've crossed many bridges, from Friedrich to the ballroom to Caracas. And in some sense he's only the front man for an army of right wing zealots.

6. I thought this was going to be about Congress.

Trump said he couldn't notify Congress because there are so many leakers.

We elect these people, and he doesn't think they can be trusted. Which is bullshit for: They might try and stop me.

7. I've lost track - why wasn't the unredacted Mueller report ever released?

I thought it had gotten all the necessary clearances. Lost in the shuffle?

we paid for that report and have never been allowed to see it just galls me. (I mean, among many other things.)

13. The release of the Mueller report was at the discretion of....

... Attorney General William Barr. So of course it wasn't fully released.

Mueller was appointed special counsel by Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general. He made the decision as "acting attorney general" because Attorney General Jeff Sessions had stepped aside from the Russia inquiry.

During TSF's first term, the U.S. Attorney General role saw significant turnover, starting with Jeff Sessions (Feb 2017–Nov 2018), who resigned under pressure; followed by acting AG Matthew Whitaker (Nov 2018–Feb 2019); and concluding with William Barr (Feb 2019–Jan 2021).

So it was done entirely under TSF's DOJ, and while Mueller enjoyed independence during the investigation, all he could do at the end was hand the report over to Barr.

SO MANY people know the truth about so much of Trump's life of crime.

We need some heroes to do whatever is necessary to get the evidence out.

Lee Marvin there are none. (I use movie allusion since I don't know any good politicians personally since the Dalai Lama.)

About how and why nobody did anything when there is so much documented evidence of horrendous crime after crime.
