Barr Is Just Placating Trump At This Point
Attorney General Bill Barr has ordered an investigation into whether the CIA was correct to determine that Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted to boost Donald Trump during the 2016 election. That question has already been answered...A Mike Pompeo-led CIA review in 2017 found no wrongdoing in how the agency concluded that Russia wanted to help Donald Trump in 2016.

it's a really good thing that Jeffrey Epstein was just a rich white man trafficking and molesting dozens if not hundreds of teenage girls over a span of decades, and not, say, a black man selling loose cigarettes on a street corner, because there are serious consequences for that. - Jeff Tiedrich

Welcome to Gorka Park
When Trump finished speaking, CNN political analyst Brian Karem and former White House deputy assistant Sebastian Gorka exchanged words across the rope line that separated the two groups. Karem said something inaudible that prompted Gorka to charge across the garden and get in front of him.
“You’re not a journalist! You’re a punk!” Gorka fumed.

Just Testify Already!
Former special counsel Robert Mueller’s highly-anticipated testimony will be delayed one week under a tentative arrangement he made with House Democrats, according to multiple sources briefed on the arrangements.
Although it’s unclear why Mueller’s testimony was delayed until July 24, lawmakers familiar with the discussions said one reason was an ongoing negotiation about how long lawmakers would have to question the former special counsel.

The one-week delay in the Mueller hearing is bad news. Slippage toward the summer recess, building up unrealistic expectations, creating more opportunities for Trump and his henchman Barr to engage in witness tampering. Watch out! - Laurence Tribe

In an interview via Skype, Alan Dershowitz insisted he never saw an underage girl at Epstein's house, but was worked on by an older lady.
"Were there young women in another part of the house giving massages when I wasn't around? I have no idea of that," he said.
"I kept my underwear on during the massage," Dershowitz went on to stammer. "I don't like massages particularly."

Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein never once checked in with city cops in the eight-plus years since a Manhattan judge ordered him to do so every 90 days — and the NYPD says it’s fine with that.

The Kavanaugh hearings retraumatized me brutally, as it did for many, many women. The Epstein case is no exception. Women see wealthy men, and men in general, get away with sh*t like this all the time. We’ve seen it year after year and we’re pissed and exhausted. - Ida Skibenes

Another Impending Government Shutdown?
Senators are growing anxious that they might have to vote to raise the nation’s debt ceiling in a matter of weeks given new estimates that the government could hit its borrowing limit earlier than expected.
The debt limit was exceeded earlier this year, and the Treasury Department is now taking steps known as “extraordinary measures” to prevent the government from going over its borrowing limit.

Mulvaney presses Trump to dump Acosta amid mounting outrage
The acting White House chief of staff has clashed with the Labor secretary, who is under fire for cutting a deal with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2008.

When I saw the above picture of Acosta's family, my first thought was that they look unhealthy. The children are peaked with circles under their eyes and no one is showing any emotion. I hope those girls are OK.

That reputation, however, has all but disappeared. According to Shortey's attorney, the former Republican lawmaker will plead guilty to one count of child sex trafficking on Nov. 30.

I Can't Think of One Good Reason To Give A Light Sentence To Anyone Who Sexually Abused Girls. Not One.
Labor Secretary Alex Acosta vigorously defended his handling of a 2008 plea deal with billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, saying "facts are being overlooked" as critics question whether he was too lenient as Epstein faced allegations he sexually abused underage girls.
In a news conference, the embattled official said he welcomed new charges against Epstein from New York prosecutors and said abuse victims' statements are handled differently now.

Why did Acosta effectively pardon Epstein's unnamed co-conspirators in the settlement?

They did God’s work, finally bringing some belated justice to this pedophile sex trafficker. The next step for reporters is to clinically, carefully, unmask ever last person who covered for and enabled this pedophile over the years. - Jonathan Swan, Axios
