"Donald Trump raping children ... threatening to kill children"

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

We read the words. We see and hear the man and men, some from beyond the grave. We read the statements of the victims, also some from beyond the grave.

For though a Madame Defarge might be welcome, we must forbear with Lady Justice instead.

Alas, these days she is apparently keeping company somewhere with Nancy Guthrie.
