Here's FCC Chair Brennan Carr talking about this openly with Benny Johnson.

Tough, tough talk.

It's good you said Kimmel.

I thought you said Camelgate at first.

I was like, what was Camelgate?

Little known.

This, of course, had a huge blowback and Kimmel is still on the air.

And last, of course, we have the Epstein files.

The year started off with the administration inviting a bunch of influencers to the White House to pose with binders of the Epstein files.

They promised a bigger release only to backtrack and say they weren't going to release anything.

Dan Bongino roided out and almost rage quit the FBI.

The rest of the year has been a steady drip of emails and documents implicating Trump and his friends in the files, culminating in an embarrassing vote to release them.

Here's a dramatic reading of a note that Donald Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein.

Donald.

Yes, there is, but I won't tell you what it is.

Oh, my God.

Nor will I, since I love you.

We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.

Yes, we do.

Come to think of it.
