Thank you Michael, for finally bringing sanity to this case which I believe is not as far-fetched as it claims to be.

Megyn Kelly is such a despicable human being, but I appreciate her standing up for you here.

Why is she despicable?

Here is but one of many examples:

The issue with her is she acts in bad faith; it's not just ignorance.

You must have attached the wrong link. You attached a link to a polite, civil discussion between MK and MTG over their different views on the Israel/Hamas conflict and US funding of it. It’s not anything like the despicable, primitive grunts and slurs coming from most people who disagree with each other on this issue.

I agree with you that we should all find ways to be more polite with each other, but I'm going to disagree with you that so long as one is polite the content of what you're saying is okay. The fact people think this is an "Israel/Hamas conflict" just goes to show the damage of the lies and propaganda she (among others) is spewing causes. I'll agree again that I wish people wouldn't resort to primitive grunts or slurs, but I do tend to cut people more slack in that regard considering the magnitude of what is happening. That people like Megyn Kelly are knowingly gas-lighting the American public, one shouldn't be shocked when people react in that manner. That's what gas-lighting is designed to do after all.

Claims Palestinians are faking their own genocide. I respect and agree with Glenn regarding his stance on free speech, but doesn’t mean platforming despicable racists like her.

They should actually read the documentation, as you have and as I have and have others who see through all this baloney.

Micheal Tracey is a bloviating bag of shit that will interrupt to go on a long tangent to avoid answering questions unhelpful to his idiotic narrative. His followers and friendship with Glen Greenwald is inexplicable. He’s worthy of neither.

Who are the MEN in that NBC News photo?! It’s hilarious Bradley Edwards is holding up a sign saying “Bradley Edwards.”😂

Glenn was a lot nicer about it here than he was on System Update.

I totally agree with both of them. There is nothing wrong with asking questions, and nobody should be demonized for doing so.

Why were these victims being asked to speak for another deceased victim? Crack journalist digging for some hard speculation.

Michael, it would be a lot more helpful (and I expect you'd get more eyeballs) if you link to an excerpt of the video, not the entire ~100 minutes.

Why did she just say Giuffre lied about Dershowitz LOL? Why are you protecting Dershowitz? Because he's close to Trump.

There are all kinds of pictures of Epstein with all these people. Alana Dershowitz actually admitted being there and said he received a massage but never took his underwear off.

Your blindness is absurd. She was working at Trump's Mar-a-Lago where her father worked when she was recruited. She's not a liar. The Trumpaganda on the right does not come close to that on the left, but it is plain to see; people are irrationally defending Trump now.

Damn, Michael. You were truly dickish in your interview with Glenn. I do not understand why you are choosing this particular hill to die on.

You're attacking women who were raped and trafficked as girls. I'm not saying they should be believed without evidence, but there IS a lot of evidence out there and Trump's DOJ is withholding the rest. You are defending some of the worst people on the planet, and for what? Sheer orneriness?

Or are YOU being blackmailed or bribed by Mossad? Given your recent behavior, that is now a valid question.

It's precisely BECAUSE the claims are so serious that the claims must be critically examined. How would you react to someone accusing you of rape? Does anyone ever consider that scenario? How would your lawyers react? By tiptoeing around the issue? If you do that, given the way the justice system works you'd have to plead guilty or face 20+ years in prison.

Yes, but one issue is just in this recent post, the way Tracey mocks the fact the women take sexy pictures on a boat. MOST TRAFFICKED WOMEN have reams of such photos taken, looking like they're having fun. It's this kind of dismissal that is making Tracey look like a controlled mud-slinging operative, rather than a lawyerly analyst

Can you identify the women who were trafficked as children and to whom they were trafficked? Dershowitz, bill richardson, prince andrew, Jean luc Brunel…? Most of these claims come from Guiffre, who later recanted.

For a mass child sex blackmail ring, we’re pretty short on children, sex, abusers, and blackmail.

Yeah and Michael acknowledges that. If you actually watched the segment with Glenn, he freely admits that there is credible evidence that underage girls were abused by Epstein during the Palm Beach era.

However some of the women now postering as trafficked victims have some credibility issues. Giuffre admitted under oath in 2022 she fabricated her trafficking claims. During the Maxwell trial, the judge told the jury that Annie Farmer’s testimony was not to be taken into consideration for a trial verdict because of credibility issues. Sarah Ransome was a 22 year old escort when she meet Epstein and was in a sugar daddy relationship with him. All of this is available for any journalist or lay person to read and yet Michael seems to me the only journalist who is willing to put an effort into actually reading this stuff and not just theorizing or just joining the media feeding frenzy.

The sad reality is neither side wants the truth because anything the government data dumps, it will not make anybody happy. Right wingers will say - “Where is the rest of it, what are they hiding?”. Left wingers will say “ Where is all the Trump stuff, they have to hiding or destroyed it’ ( makes you wonder if there is juicy stuff on Trump why didn’t the Biden Administration release it last year as an October Surprise to save Kamala)

So the conspiracy theory will continue into perpetuity because neither side care about full transparency or pedophile. It’s all about postering and the grift

Apparently I pushed a wrong button on my phone and ended up with this dreck. C’mon, bottom line: release the files, all of them. End of story. How can you not see crap that’s right in front of your face?
