With its standard credulous, stenographic political coverage style, the NY Times reports with a straight face that Trump's "Justice" Department just "found" a million more Epstein documents.

On some days, the Paper of Record struggles to be merely pathetic.

Wasn't this supposed to be a musical?

Where's the usufructuary?
... apprentice who will never face the consequences?

Deflection and diffusion ...

I hope the Epstein Estate has kept copies of the originals, and that they make copies to get into the right hands. That is my Christmas wish.

@dangillmor I wonder how legit these documents will be. In this age of LLM slop, it would not be that difficult to generate fake docs, especially if you are not worried about the fakery being detected.

Were they hiding behind a water heater in the basement? Or in a dusty old box in the attic?
WTH is "finding a million documents"??

@dangillmor hey, what if Kash Patel was doing his rounds on the FBI headquarters and then stumbled upon one million pieces of paper on the janitors room?

It's always criticism never congratulations, this is why they hate us.

When you can't stop the release the next best thing you can do is to flood the evidence pool with BS so nothing is believable. That's what they are doing right now. And NYT is signaling that they'll repeat whatever BS is pumped by them.

@dangillmor And, not surprisingly, not a single one of those million newly "found" documents mentions or depicts trump in any way.

"...the NY Times reports with a straight face that Trump's "Justice" Department just "found" a million more Epstein documents."

Necessary edit:

"the NY Times reports with a straight face that Trump's "Justice" Department just "found" a million more Epstein documents stored in cardboard boxes in a disused bathroom at Mar-a-Lago."

T was heard muttering
“…when you look for stuff, you typically find stuff, if I hadn’t told them to find more stuff on other people you wouldn’t be seeing more stuff, you don’t look, you wouldn’t have found all this.

“Waves hands about”
I told them this would happen”
