Judge: Prosecutors broke law in Epstein sex case

A federal judge in Florida ruled that prosecutors violated the law by concealing a 2008 plea deal with Jeffrey Epstein from many of his victims, calling it a “perversion of justice” and leaving open how the case may proceed while stopping short of overturning Epstein’s sentence; separately, Virgin Islands Governor Bryan departed for Washington, D.C. to press federal priorities in meetings with the Trump administration and Congress, with Lt. Gov. Tregenua Roach acting as governor in his absence, and Bryan slated to testify before a Senate committee on the state of U.S. territories and participate in a National Governors Association conference, including a web meeting with Vice President Pence.

Dems call for Acosta resignation over Epstein case; Gaetz urges investigation

The page centers on the political fallout from Labor Secretary Alex Acosta’s role in the 2008 Epstein plea deal, with Democrats demanding his resignation and Republicans debating an investigation; notably, Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Trump ally, urges a broader inquiry while others like Rubio and Scott say Acosta should stay and more information is needed, following a federal judge’s ruling that prosecutors under Acosta violated the law by not informing Epstein’s underage victims, prompting calls for investigations by the Justice Department’s Inspector General and Florida Bar; the story is paired with a separate White House push to portray Democrats as embracing socialism, as Pence attacks Medicare-for-all and other Democratic proposals ahead of the 2020 race.

Schulte Research: Deep dives into PRC fintech ownership and Trump cabinet ownership

This internal Schulte Research brief and its forwarded emails present a two‑part thesis: first, a China fintech deep dive centered on Ping An and CICC as pivotal to Alibaba/Tencent’s financial ecosystem, with Zhong An, WeBank, Lufax and Ant Financial as key players and investment guidance to buy Ping An, CCB and CICC (with exposure to Alibaba/Ant and related IPOs); second, a political‑economic view linking Koch Brothers networks to the Trump/Pence transition and outlining a pro‑oil, energy‑industry agenda that favors Russia and related energy plays, while suggesting bets on US and global banks such as Citi and JPM in this evolving policy landscape.

Email — Alternative Facts: Satire piece by Paul Krassner

Paul Krassner’s final piece in his 60-year collection of investigative satire, “Alternative Facts,” delivers a blistering, unapologetic critique of the era’s misinformation and political theater, tracing the Electoral College’s role in the 2000 Bush victory, recalling Hillary Clinton’s vow to abolish it, and contrasting that history with the 2016 Trump win despite the national popular vote, while naming Putin, Flynn, Pence, Ryan, and Steve Bannon as figures in a tangled web of power and manipulation; through sharp irony and provocative language it argues that truth, humor, and steadfast resistance can counter authoritarianism even as it skewers the era’s “fake news” and the cruelty that awakened a restless public.

Siege: Trump Under Fire

Siege provides a real-time, inside-the-White-House portrait of Donald Trump in early 2018 as the Mueller Russia investigation tightens and a chaotic presidency buckles under legal peril and relentless infighting. It tracks a cast of Trump aides—Dowd, Cobb, and Sekulow on the legal side; Hicks, Porter, Kushner, and Bannon in the personal and political sphere—whose loyalty, ambitions, and improvisations collide with the president’s demand for “solutions” and disdain for constraint. Wolff also exposes the widening rift between the White House and the Justice Department, as high-stakes investigations, subpoenas, and the threat of firing officials threaten to pull the administration apart. Against this backdrop, the budget battles and the symbolic fight over the Wall reveal how loyalty, power, and perception—more than policy—will determine Trump’s fate.

Dershowitz details chat about Israel with president at his estate - The Boston Globe

Alan Dershowitz recounts a spontaneous Mar-a-Lago dinner with President Trump in which Trump privately pressed him on Middle East peace, saying Abbas appeared ready for a deal and suggesting Dershowitz contact Netanyahu as a possible back channel, though Dershowitz says he has no formal role and wouldn’t confirm reports that he was asked to act as a conduit; the episode illustrates Trump’s informal, on‑the‑fly approach to policy and the controversy over access at the president’s club.
