Love the stats in this post, but one addition: Oregon’s senior Senator, Ron Wyden is investigating the financial shenanigans Epstein was up to before he croaked. Don’t think he’s getting a lot of cooperation from the other side, but he’s persistent.

Once again when I started to wonder if I was going crazy I read your column and realized I was still sane. Many thanks!!

Number of MAGA people who will remove their support if Trump is proven to have partaken of young pleasures with Epstein: 0.

Dave, what do you think the odds are that she will get some kind of pardon or reduction in sentence?

She had nothing to gain if they didn't offer her anything.

I’d add:

Number of you who turn off the “national news” after 3 minutes: 58%

I love your statistics column

What’s the number of people who don’t even want to turn on the news these days?

And with 4 years to do so what did our guy, Joe Biden, and the feckless Merrick Garland do about Epstein and the disgusting mega swamp of rich perverts? Who persuaded Joe to do nothing beyond Ghislaine? Would it hit too close to home for ALL the creeps in DC, NYC and London? Hey Bill...you out there? Andrew? Ghislaine will now "vindicate" Trump, get her pardon and the rich sick-os will once again skate.

Ghislaine took adolescent girls to stores to buy childrens' underwear to really please her boss and customers. It didn't seem to bother Joe enough to do anything about the real problem: the johns...the customers, so why should we wring our hands about Super-Creep Trump?

There is no doubt that the ‘Leader of the Free World’ has the morals of a packrat… Oh wait, that’s an insult to packrats… If he gives Maxwell a pardon, it’s a 100% confession of guilt. Let’s hope he does it.

Fritz: It seems you may have overlooked one more dubiously errant 'credit' for 'Brazen Classlessly and his pal, 'the Slumclass Kid'. The total number of times Brazen or Slumclass recognized, publicly grieved for, or apologized to their underage victims - 0.

My take is “if you value life you will forget”. Like they told Cassidy.
