4. The headline of the NBC clip and this post unfairly characterize what Kaine said.

Kaine correctly spends most of his Epstein remarks condeming Trump and his administration for hiding the Epstein files. His Clinton comment was essentially began a pivot back to Trump and the DOJ.

I think Kaine is wrong about not persuing contempt charges for the minimal release and overly redacted files. He and other Democrats should at east be loudly threatening contempt both to put the fear of God into administration officials and to simply make tough sounding headlines. Saying there are other avenues—which we have seen not working in the past—is lame, old school Democratic comity speech that doesn’t help.
