On Wednesday, Arizona Rep. Adelita Grijalva was finally, formally sworn in by House Mis-Speaker Mike Johnson, the ceremony delayed in part due to the government shutdown, in part due to Johnson continuing to carry water for president Trump to block the release of the so-called Epstein Files.
As expected, Rep. Grijalva voted for the release, and a torrent of e-mails were released, revealing some potentially damning information about Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died under questionable circumstances six years ago. The vote was bi-partisan, with a number of prominent Republicans voting for release, including Trump allies Marjorie Taylor Greene (Georgia), Lauren Boebert (Colorado), & Nancy Mace (South Carolina). For the women, the Epstein files represent a line they were not willing to cross. Greene in particular has become a critic of Trump in recent weeks, something Orange Beavis has dismissed as "an act". Well, maybe, maybe not. Boebert's hands aren't exactly clean, of course, given the scandal that erupted a while back on a date night at a theatre production of "Beetlejuice". Still, it is very telling that these three, who've been prominent in headlines the last few years, feel trying to protect Trump in this case is a bridge too far.
And, then, there's Megyn Kelly.
Now a podcaster after getting chased off Fox & NBC in recent years, Kelly caused a stir with some remarks in relation to the case, and her verbal waffling on Epstein might make Kellogg's and its Eggo brand jealous. Fellow blogger Chuck Miller offers this:
Megyn Kelly and weasel words – Chuck The Writer
Trump is trying to dismiss the e-mail mass release as part of a Democratic hoax. Sorry, Donald, but that ain't happening. While e-mails can be faked, you can't just wish them away. Remember, the vote was bi-partisan. In other words, fella, your own party wants to see those files, right along with the Democrats, and all of America.
While there is a belief that Trump might not survive his 2nd term due to health issues, more physical than mental, by the way, due largely to his age and poor physical appearance, he cannot hide from the reality that his past is what will ultimately bring him down.
As you could probably surmise, Megyn Kelly gets the Weasel ears this week. Thanks, Chuck, for helping me with that decision.
