6. What is moving on? As usual, my answer is complicated

Thursday

Am I interested is seeing justice for probable crimes? Absolutely.

Am I interested in following up on every crank who calls in with some unverifiable claim or make an outcast of everyone who ever emailed Epstein or was in the files without evidence of a crime? No.

But I don't trust the current DOJ leadership to have provided everything that would be verifiable? Absolutely not. So at least short term, no I wouldn't support moving on in the next Democratic administration. But whatever the equivalent of us calling Hillary Clinton in with no evidence just because we don't like them, no thanks.
