Muller and Comey knew about Epstein and did not try to stop him

National Interests:
Released Thursday night, the 346-pages of information include emails between Epstein and Maxwell along with accuser Virginia Giuffre’s deposition and testimony.

Appearing to suggest that Maxwell was an active recruiter in Epstein’s sex ring – as Giuffre recounted she was “ordered” by Maxwell to administer an erotic massage – the documents also provide insight into other high-profile individuals involved in Epstein’s iniquity.

Among those named in the heavily-redacted documents are former MIT scientist Marvin Minsky, renowned lawyer Alan Dershowitz, former President Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew.

Dershowitz was allegedly a “participant” and “eye-witness to the abuse of many other minors by Epstein,” later negotiating the agreement the provided Epstein and his affiliates with immunity from federal prosecution.

The documents also allege that Clinton visited Epstein’s notorious private island with “two young girls.”

The redacted information – chiefly the names of individuals identified by Giuffre as participants in the alleged Epstein sex ring – has been met with criticism on social media.

The documents also show that under the auspices of Director James Comey, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had “regular communication” with a minor victim of Epstein and Maxwell since at least 2014, but allowed over five years to pass before charging Epstein in 2019 and Maxwell in 2020.

Questioning of Giuffre augments the FBI’s negligence, as the victim alleges she gave a copy of the photo of her, Maxwell, and Prince Andrew to the agency in 2011, so they could make copies of the now widely-circulated image.

Despite the incriminating picture and Giuffre’s participation in questioning, the FBI, which at the time was overseen by Robert Mueller, failed to prosecute Epstein.

In fact, Mueller’s FBI granted Epstein a plea deal in 2008, which documents suggest resulted from Prince Andrew lobbying the U.S. government. The sweetheart deal, which saw Epstein jailed for just 13 months for sexually abusing dozens of underage girls, was issued despite the bureau being well aware it had not interviewed all relevant witnesses and victims.
...
I have not seen anything from Mueller or Comey explaining why Epstein's case was not a priority.  It appeared to be a long-running sex trafficking operation.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
