In what universe does it makes sense for the WALL STREET Journal to print "The Epstein Letter"?

Bad judges need to be replaced.

You’re prejudging this, aren’t you? Already deciding there’s going to be a bad judge!

They like to try out their excuses ahead time.

Generally bad judges need to be replaced. This one was appointed by enemy shitstain obama. It's unlikely that he would be honest.

When has Trump ever been honest? The files are on Bondi’s desk; the files don’t exist; the files were written by O’Clinden!

Why didn't you read the files that were released?

What files? Trump hasn’t released shit, because he knows he’s all over them.

The files that Bondi released. The address book and flight logs.

Let's just say for argument that the letter is legit. So what? I can see why the National Enquirer would take a flier and print it, but the WALL STREET JOURNAL? You know the premier printed FINANCIAL NEWS SOURCE? On any level, how does this make sense? Can one of you Trump Haters obsessed with the Epstein files try to explain this?

Because it's the truth?

Many (most?) of which had already been leaked and were in the public domain.

What a document dump!



MAGAs are hiding something. It's as plain as day, except to the MAGA cultists who drink Trump's piss and think it's chardonnay.

So what? Trump sent a creepy birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein — a convicted child sex trafficker — with a nude drawing and a message saying they “have secrets” and “things in common.” That’s not just salacious. That’s deeply relevant, especially given Trump’s long, documented social history with Epstein and the fact that he’s president.

The Wall Street Journal published it because it passed editorial standards — meaning it was credible, verifiable, and newsworthy. If your bar for relevance is so warped that a U.S. president joking about shared “secrets” with a pedophile doesn’t raise red flags, that says more about your blinders than it does about the Journal.

Pretending it’s not a story doesn’t make it go away.

Those weren’t new releases. That was a scam and you got schlonged!

The Wall Street Journal never published it. That is what's behind the lawsuit. All that has been published is the word of two guys, who have lied before, that they saw it. Publish the card.

Is it necessary to think of political rivals as "evil"? Or just more fun?

After careful consideration, democrats are evil even if political rivalry is eliminated. They are soulless.

Go on any news site, doesn't matter which, left or right. You will hardly ever find them directly showing the source. That's simply not how journalism works. Their job is to vet the source before publishing, and it's very unlikely that they didn't, not with a story of this magnitude and not when the owner of your newspaper is the same guy who owns Fox News.

And the only thing behind the lawsuit is Trump exacting a price for publishing stuff that is damaging, nothing more, nothing less. But hey I would love to be wrong on that one since then we will get a discovery process. Making all speculation moot.

But the question was why did they publish. And I answered that one.
