A legal expert said on Wednesday that the latest batch of documents from disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is "explosive" and seems to implicate President Donald Trump's deputy attorney general in a massive "cover-up." On Wednesday, emails were released that directly contradict statements Epstein'...

    there really has to be some rule or some AP style guidance where you can’t have the adjective “explosive” for the noun “dump” in a headline.

    i mean, come on.

    About the legal expert…

    Ryan Goodman, a law professor and co-editor-in-chief of Just Security, discussed the documents on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront.”

    “These are explosive,” Goodman said.

    Goodman is a social media law brain. Such liberal “experts” have been giving their takes that the Laws will take Trump down since halfway through Trump 1.0. “Explosive” is a new term. I’ll add it to my list.

        I was already tired of “legal expert” in headlines around 2018 because I was on Reddit all the time then and such posts were a r/politics staple. The articles were effectively clickbait because they were only the opinion of one person. But the headlines were copy-and-paste acceptable for that sub’s rules. The clickbait might get 10+K upvotes while a far more sober but accurate and factual article about the situation might get 300 upvotes.

        -–

        I think I went to r/politics once this year for a couple minutes. I just made another visit. A similarly titled article is at ~3K.

        Donald Trump “may not outlast” Epstein files scandal: Legal analyst (newsweek.com)

        It’s the fifth most popular article. Of the top five - four have “Epstein” in the title. In fact - when I scrolled down I saw it was crazy. The entire homepage is Epstein city. Libs are going to be so sad and frustrated when all of this comes to naught.

          This is true, he won’t outlast it because he is already on deaths door.

            My favorite comment from Trump 1.0 happened when I was arguing with a lib for the nth time. I realized I should have simply stopped talking 2 if not 3 comments before. I wasn’t going to convince them of my POV and vice versa.

            So - I’m being an idiot. Again. Somebody is wrong on the net. So what! I’ll end the convo on a form of detente and a positive note. I said that maybe Trump will have a massive heart attack and die and we’ll be rid of him. Their reply really surprised me. They said they absolutely did not want that! They wanted Trump to go on trial and be held accountable!

            I just had to laugh.
