Bill Clinton testified under oath about Monica Lewinsky. He will now testify under oath about Epstein. There is no excuse for Donald Trump doing that too. Either you want to learn the truth about Epstein’s crimes & who else was involved or you don’t.

Epstein Files: “Some suggested the Clintons ‘caved’ to Congress’ demands. More likely they’ve set a precedent that requires people with far stronger linkage to Epstein—& their wives—to testify. If they don’t, the GOP-led investigation in Congress will face claims that it’s trying to hide the truth”

DOJ is apparently taking all this time & violating the Transparency Act deadline in order to protect criminals, not the victims.

Former DHS top lawyers for Dem & GOP admins agree: no judicial warrant, no entry. “Attempting to tarnish department attorneys as “deep state” operatives for giving legal advice that is faithful to the Constitution is not only offensive but also dangerous.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/o...

“U.S. District Judge Fred Biery excoriated the federal government, saying the case ‘has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children.’” www.ms.now/news/liam-ra...

Judge Menendez denies Minnesota plaintiffs’ request to end Operation Metro Surge because they don’t meet the high bar set by the 10th Amendment, but she also points to what she doesn’t decide, including the legality of what ICE is doing on the ground.

It’s not about convicting Don Lemon. That’s very unlikely on these facts and given the legal charges DOJ brought. So what’s it all about? Read about that here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

1/ Sure DOJ has opened an investigation into Alex Pretti's homicide. But not Renee Good's. What's the difference? There's no logical reason to investigate one but not the other. So what's going on?

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Maybe DOJ should focus on the law it’s violating, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, instead of speculating a crime might have been committed (despite multiple ballot recounts) in Fulton County or declining to investigate two homicides in Minneapolis?
