You should check it out. He might have some skills examining allegations, evidence, and such that you seem to be overlooking.

It's just possible--amazing to think, I know--that Ted knows more about what he's saying and how he's saying it than you do.

But hey! His contact info is readily available. You can let him know what he should and should not say.

Did anyone here ever imagine that the media and a large part of the country are okay with it durablend Feb 18 #9

I don't think they're okay with it, just don't believe it either because they're MAGA or can't accept such things happen ChicagoTeamster Feb 18 #12

Or they're 'scared' of retaliations. Justice matters. Feb 18 #23

I've been disappointed in Rachel Maddow lately Bayard Feb 18 #10

I think she leaves the Epstein files to other late-night commentators. I'd rather hear Jen Psaki and especially generalbetrayus Feb 18 #14

Ted is not mincing words! Thank you, sir. RedWhiteBlueIsRacist Feb 18 #22

I'm am going to keep saying this angrychair Feb 18 #24

Demanding the extrajudicial murder of people over mundane emails to Epstein is not "the moderate, level-headed position" AZJonnie Feb 18 #55

This message was self-deleted by its author angrychair Feb 18 #59

"agents couldn't confirm that and found no other victims telling a similar story," Wiz Imp Feb 18 #68

Completely False? Okay, friend, I have a proposal for you AZJonnie Feb 18 #78

I don't care who said that. It's a fact that many victims have provided testimony that Wiz Imp Feb 18 #83

Well, ignoring who's saying that is convenient AZJonnie Feb 18 #86

Get over yourself. You're not as smart as you think you are. Wiz Imp Feb 18 #94

Are you this far into this discussion, saying mean things to me, NOT having looked into who said all that yet? AZJonnie Thursday #104

There you go making assumptions again. Wiz Imp Thursday #115

I've shown solid sources for my current working thesis, and you have shown nothing but personal insults and *opinion* AZJonnie Thursday #119

Ted, I love you man, but these allegations have been public since 2016 AZJonnie Feb 18 #25

AZJonnie on the spot dpibel Feb 18 #30

I ignore many, many Epstein posts I disagree with, but on THIS topic, yes I will often comment AZJonnie Feb 18 #57

Your definition of facts dpibel Feb 18 #62

You happen to take notice when my conclusions appear to do so AZJonnie Feb 18 #70

Fun FACT, AZ!! dpibel Feb 18 #77

Okay, well ya got me! I should have gone back and re-read it, I took your word for it AZJonnie Feb 18 #82

Lieu actually has some relevant experience dpibel Feb 18 #84

Ya know what, I kinda like you dpibel AZJonnie Thursday #101

There is video proof that Trump went to parties with Epstein. Wiz Imp Feb 18 #95

OH ABSOLUTELY!!! I'm saying I probably vaguely recalled seeing video of Ted saying "evidence" just days ago AZJonnie Thursday #102

It's his job evidently questionseverything Feb 18 #64

If Lieu is talking about the anonymous tips that we've seen EdmondDantes_ Feb 18 #50

Many of the FBI Tips were not anonymous. Wiz Imp Feb 18 #96

Can you provide a link for that? EdmondDantes_ Thursday #108

Huh? That document you linked to proves the tips were not anonymous. Wiz Imp Thursday #112

No it doesn't EdmondDantes_ Thursday #113

So brilliant one, If the tips were anonymous then why is the name on all of them redacted? Wiz Imp Thursday #114

It's insane that Stephen Colbert gets fired... Initech Feb 18 #26
