Man. I read what you wrote about the WashPo badly mischaracterizing the DC Mayor's order. This, THIS is why people often said "Have TWO lawyers attend EVERY meeting/negotiation with Trump." It's an MO that is insidious, makes it VERY difficult to put things back in proper framing

Rep. Nancy Mace walked away in tears after meeting with Epstein victims. This is the congresswoman who said"there is no Epstein list" and pushed for cushy prison deals. Now the victims’s trauma is being heard face to face. Survivors are speaking, it's rattling the pedophile protectors. #Epstein
