Of course if Trump wasn’t connected to Epstein’s crimes, why DID he try to shut down the release of the files? One turns to the other possibilities: a) a business (not sex) scandal; b) embarrassment for Melania c) embarrassment for Kushners d) embarrassment for Israel … etc https://t.co/9dTJvofjR6

2. So we don’t want to give all that lawmaking power to the President. Wrong branch! https://t.co/ECCp5Rrz14
