To the editor:

The Epstein files distractions continue like machine gun fire. New “Board of Peace” announced. Five year old boy taken into ICE custody. Meme of U.S. flag over Canada posted. Dissolution of Haiti’s TPC demanded. Our arctic army forces mobilized. Venezuelan oil money deposited in private Qatari bank accounts. Pepper spray sprayed into eyes of peaceful protesters. Invasion of Greenland threatened. One $billion fee announced to join “Board of Peace.” Attacks on black people continued at DAVOS. Daily announced presidential pardons for fraudsters or drug dealers. Additional tariffs announced because of personal pique. Five $billion lawsuit filed against JPMorgan. Invitation to war criminal Putin to join “Board of Peace.” ICE agents taught they are not subject to any 4th amendment limitations. First sale of Venezuelan crude goes to major Trump donor. Clintons subpoenaed on the Epstein files. New limits placed on congressional oversight of ICE gulags.              

The last Epstein files were released on 12-23. So far less than 1% have been released, even though all were supposed to be released by 12-19. We are not going to see anymore because the first release was such a disaster for President Trump, even though it was so heavily redacted. The end game is to stall hoping we finally forget. Remember our Republican Senators and Representatives are not opposing this stall.
