“Reality” or “Reality TV”?
For someone who has been in and out of courts so many times, either as a defendant or as a plaintiff (and I don’t mean just since he ran for public office, but even much before that, pretty much his entire adult life), and as someone who claims to be the smartest person on the…

Nothing to See Here!
I don’t mean to fuel the conspiracy theories that have been going around on the Internet over the last couple of days, but the recent sudden closure of the Jeffery Epstein case by the DoJ and the statement saying that there was no client list to begin with, indeed sounds quite suspicious.
