I mean, many people say that in these kinds of cases, the process is itself the punishment.

It can be bankrupting of you.

I mean, is it possible to fight something like this without incurring massive personal expense?

And I'm actually talking about dollars here.

Yeah, and the degree to which our institutions, both journalistic and legal, have bent the knee to Trump, I mean, that has been one genuine source of surprise.

I mean, that was, you know, if the lawyers, if the most well-resourced law firms are going to be among the first

to bend the knee, uh, as many were, um, that's, uh, that really is, is an ominous sign.

And, uh, I mean, you have certain journalistic properties.

I mean, obviously journalism in, in some quarters is, is fairly healthy, but you know, in others, uh, I could name the Washington post, um, is showing signs of, um, real stress.

I mean, given, given, uh, what, uh, has happened of late it's, it's, um,

That's been the most insidious thing about and the biggest difference between the second and first Trump administrations.

But here you've had a proper purge of everyone with integrity, everyone who who had a commitment to the the real norms of our of our.

democracy and and to just the constitution itself right i mean you just have these these true believers and loyalists uh uh in in places of of ultimate responsibility i mean the steven from you know stephen miller and pam bondy on down uh and it's it's shocking how um it's shocking that we have

that our system is as reliant on the personal integrity of individuals as it is.

I mean, you'd like to imagine we have a system of laws and institutions that is so bulletproof against idiocy and personal corruption that it could survive contact with these kinds of characters.

But if it survives contact, it can't survive contact indefinitely.

And clearly we have norms in places where we wish we had laws.

And it'll be the job of some new sane administration, hopefully in 2028, to try to shore this up in ways that prevent this from happening again.

Are you in the Epstein Files?

I am in a way that genuinely surprised me.
