Wolff recommits to his silly morph ’em strategy: “How can we condemn Epstein but excuse his BFF Trump?” Wait, I know! Call on me teacher! Trump may have been a “sexual sleazeball,” but Epstein screwed underage girls–children, legally. Seems a distinction.https://t.co/AmL0nLNX0U

They’re the sort of scrappy newcomers that made America great, right? Newsom has an opportunity to lecture the former homeowners on how they need to “welcome the stranger,” not evict him.

Reupping: Of course, if the Trump opposition focused on his blocking of the files to protect other bigshots, not himself–a better way to split MAGA– the bigshots they found being protected would more likely than not be Democrats. … https://t.co/63yTcPUWwP

I’m not questioning the truth of Farmer’s account. And her 1996 instinct (that someone should check out all the bigshots a guy like Epstein was roping into his circle) seems sound. It’s just not a very damaging anecdote. https://t.co/JKvobT1Fvh

Wolff defends himself here https://t.co/t0xkHCEXHs TLDW: Hey, both Epstein and Trump chased after models and they didn’t “ask models for their IDs” so “to make a distinction between Jeffrey Epstein’s girls and Donald Trump’s girls is pure sophistry.” No, it’s the crux of the law

It’s the worst of both worlds: Amnesty that legalizes illegals and encourages others to come illegally (for the next amnesty) and a lower caste of maybe 10-30 million people who live here legally but can’t vote. The latter seems unsustainable, as Stutzman knows. https://t.co/kaqb5T97s7
