The Paramount-Skydance saga "reeks of Orbanism." That's the assessment of @GScheiring, who experienced Viktor Orbán's autocratic power plays in Hungary firsthand as a member of the Hungarian parliament.

"The speculation often is stoked by ideological accounts that seize on 'clues' reinforcing their worldviews. Corrections are exceedingly rare — and seldom travel as far as the original claims."

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. https://t.co/FIErTJzxg4

Newly released files show how Maria Farmer, who worked for Mr. Epstein in the 1990s, had urged the F.B.I. to investigate him. The case went nowhere for years.

The bottom line: The Trump administration is missing today’s legal deadline to release the Epstein files. Blanche says many will be released on a rolling basis over next couple of weeks. Curious what percentage of total files “several hundred thousand” is.
Blanche on Epstein files: "Today is the 30 days. I expect we're going to release several hundred thousand documents today, and those documents will come in all different forms -- photographs ... just so everybody appreciates -- President Trump has said for years that he wants
