Funny how so many of the same influencers who are throwing hissy fits right now re: the DOJ Epstein memo were also distributing black pills to their followers when his co-conspirator/partner Ghislaine Maxwell was successfully convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
There might be something to that...
All singing the same song...
The Doomer’s Refrain:
But nothing is happening.
And if it is happening, it’s too late.
And if it’s not too late, then it’s not good enough.
And if it is good enough, then it’s the last thing that will happen, and we’ll be right back to:
but nothing is happening.
It’s not about Epstein, or his clients, or Kash or Bondi, or Trump, or the victims and it’s definitely not about the truth.
It’s about the grift and how it fits into the strategy of “audience capture.”
That doesn’t apply to everyone, of course.
Some are simply caught up in the memes and punditry of peers, mistaking the retorts of mediocre minds for scholarly logic and well-reasoned arguments.
It’s useful to remember that an idea’s or meme’s virality is one thing.
Its accuracy and merit is something else entirely.
The above can be applied broadly, from the “Epstein Did Not Kill Himself” meme to “Orange Man Bad/TDS” to the current hysterics of “Panican Pundits.”
Don’t mistake the distribution of an idea, especially one that exists almost entirely online, , for genuine popularity among real people, let alone widespread acceptance.

At the detention hearing on Dec 30, we learned that prosecutors had a 2-count indictment against Cole from a "local grand jury," meaning one empaneled by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia—not one empaneled by the federal court.
🧵Richman v. United States
(Arctic Haze search warrant material case)
ORDER: DOJ must get a search warrant for Arctic Haze/Richman materials seized from Richman in 2017, 2019, and 2020.
And that includes materials under seal in the EDVA and within DOJ "component" offices.
Backstory:
Just days after United States v. Comey was dismissed for Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan being unlawfully appointed, Daniel Richman, who is Person 3 from the indictment in the Comey case, filed a civil case against the DOJ.
Richman wants the property he volunteered to DOJ in 2017 and the materials that were seized from him pursuant to the four Arctic Haze search warrants in 2019 and 2020 to be returned to him.
A D.C. Superior Court grand jury returned a two-count indictment against Cole for the same two counts charged in the criminal complaint—18 U.S.C. 844(d) and 844(i).
This indictment has not been filed publicly but was presented to the judge yesterday.

Federal prosecutors using a local grand jury in this way is a new thing in DC. It came about thanks to the Trump Admin's push to neutralize criminal activity in the capital.
But the issue is currently before the Court of Appeals.
