Why was this story on the front page of the UK’s Daily Telegraph β€” but NOT America’s leading newspapers?

As attorneys, the state in which we are licensed is the ethics body (state Bar) that decides whether we have committed violations which merit sanction or loss of license to practice--they investigate. The DOJ has NO ability to shut this down. Shame on FL and its Bar.

No More Benefit Of The Doubt Last Sunday, we discussed a number of cases pending in front of federal district judges in Minneapolis.

Some judicial opinions have to be read in full, like the one I parse for you to night, from Judge Tunheim in Minneapolis.

Upon reflection, it was a bad idea to put a a sociopathic demented narcissist in charge of the world’s largest military and then confirm a poser with a small dick complex to run the Pentagon on instructions from a 21st century Goebbles.

Trump says Cuba is β€˜going to fall pretty soon’ after White House comments – live President tells CNN country is going to β€˜fall’ after earlier in the week claiming Cuba β€˜wants to make a deal so badly’

Congress could have voted to curtail this thoughtless, reckless, feckless action by a one man wrecking ball.

In addition to allegations of raping children, Trump is accused of otherwise assaulting them, threatened them repeatedly, and blackmailed and harassed them for years. He’s a monster.
He's also accused of confessing to Epstein that he uses illegal building permits.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

Julie K Brown: FBI releases interviews with woman who alleges Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a minor... "A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying."

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case,
the agents asked
whether they could audio record the interview.
advised she was not
comfortable being recorded at that time.
requested agents explain to her
the goal and parameters of the fourth interview.
She indicated she was
aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run.
She asked agents,
"what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept.
The agents also explained why
they wished to keep the fourth interview focused on abuse
endured at the
hands of individuals associated with JEFFREY EPSTEIN.
previously
mentioned she had sexual contact with (current U.S. President) DONALD TRUMP while she was a minor. She previously explained the contact was facilitated through her association with EPSTEIN. /
was asked whether she felt

DOJ has posted some pages of the missing Epstein files related to the FBI’s belated investigation of Trump’s participation in Epstein crimes after Epstein’s arrest and death in custody in 2019, and they are as bleak as you might expect. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

Opinion | Trump’s Fantasy Is Crashing Down

(NYTIMES; FREE) Great opinion piece that speaks to one of Trump's MANY faults...of thinking that he is SUPERIOR and INVINCIBLE. The folly of starting a war in the Middle East involving 15 countries at present, with no endgame in sight. What an absolute IDIOT.

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

This is what "no stupid rules of engagement" looks like in practice. A New York Times investigation indicates that it was a US strike on an Iranian school that killed 175 people, mostly children. Hegseth has yet to accept US responsibility for this grave war crime.

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

U.S. forces likely bombed an Iranian elementary school on Feb. 28 during an operation targeting a nearby military base, a New York Times analysis suggests. It is the deadliest known episode of civilian casualties since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran β€” and no side has yet taken responsibility.
