Many apologies for posting this repulsive image from the Jeffrey Epstein 50th birthday book. It's just hard to describe how awful the book is without showing at least a little bit of it — that is, in addition to Benedict Donald's now-famous contribution.
The book, which begins more or less normally with Epstein's birth certificate and a note from his mom, gradually descends into degeneracy. There's a photo of Epstein in the pool with a topless Ghislaine Maxwell. Another pic of Epstein in the bathtub. There's the fake check from "Trump" for a "depreciated woman."And then there are the notes. Bill Clinton's seems oddly anodyne — something a politician would write to a person he doesn't know well. Alan Dershowitz's is familiar and borderline smarmy. And then there's this little gem of a drawing. It's unclear who created it.
Our best advice: Don't inflict this book on yourself. (But if you absolutely must, click here.)
As for Trump's letter, from their statements today, the White House and Congressional Republicans seem to think that if they claim Donald's signature is faked, or that the whole letter is phony, that will get them off the hook. It's adorable that they believe that. We think George Conway said it best, so we'll let him take it from here:
"The narrative [around Epstein] is that Epstein was a sexual predator of young girls; that Trump had said publicly that Epstein liked females 'on the younger side' and that Epstein was a terrific guy; that Trump sent Epstein a card for the latter's 50th birthday that alluded to mutually shared secrets and contained a sketch of what appears to be a prepubescent female; that the Trump campaign and administration promised repeatedly to release the Epstein investigatory files; that FBI agents reviewed the files and found that Trump was mentioned in the files; that Trump was told he was in the files; that the Trump administration, for reasons not clearly articulated, did a 180 on producing the files and is producing only a tiny portion of them; that Donald Trump sued The Wall Street Journal alleging that the birthday card didn't exist; and that the birthday card in fact exists and was released by Epstein's estate and was clearly signed by Trump. Have I missed or misstated anything?"
No, George, you didn't. We cats PURR.
