After 9 great years, my run with The Daily Beast is over. I’ve decided to stay on maternity hiatus a few months longer. So grateful to have worked with a crackerjack crew chasing stories on crime, justice, and politics. Here's my attempt at a thread.

[ProPublica Guild @propublicaguild]

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.

Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: https://t.co/tN24poWh62

[Matthew Goldstein @MattGoldstein26]

Before you read anything else on Lana Pozhidaeva and Jeffrey Epstein, please read this great story from 2019, which was written several months before he was arrested (jealous I didn't do this)

All truth passes through three stages. First, I never met him. Second, we only met for professional purposes . Third, resignation.

NEW: I caught the DOJ deleting a record showing Ghislaine Maxwell has potential blackmail on Trump. The document reveals that DOJ gave Maxwell's lawyers three FBI interviews with an underage Trump accuser that have not been released to the public.

“I’m feeling elated,” Epstein survivor Maria Farmer said. “... I think it’s going to make all the difference for everyone. It proves that power can be toppled.” New piece w/ @JustinRohrlich https://t.co/zRN5bvXSXN

[Jason Leopold @JasonLeopold]

NEW: Kathy Ruemmler shared nonpublic details with Jeffrey Epstein about the White House's probe into a 2012 prostitution scandal that engulfed the Secret Service during her tenure as White House counsel, emails show

[Patterico @Patterico]

The fact that Jeff Bezos is not paying for this is astoundingly offensive.

@grace_panetta @jkbjournalist @TinaBrownLM @emilypostnews Thank you ❤️

[Grace Panetta @grace_panetta]

If there’s any group of people that comes out looking better from the Epstein files, it’s woman journalists. @jkbjournalist and @TinaBrownLM of course, but also @kbriquelet and @emilypostnews, who wrote articles in 2018 that got under Epstein’s skin

[Lizzie Johnson @lizziejohnsonnn]

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

[Matty McTech @setupspawn]

Someone saved all of the Epstein emails from the releases and set up a Gmail clone site that you can scroll as if you were in Jeffery's Gmail.
You can search by contacts, photos and even flight history.

@kbriquelet first reported this mystery person, so now it all comes full-circle, The Epstein calculus of having a former Obama attorney similar to having Ken Starr try "improve" his NPA https://t.co/z3P2mqGF4G

[Jacob Shamsian ⚖️ @JayShams]

Now-Goldman Sachs top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler apparently attended Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan arraignment on sex-trafficking charges, according to this old @kbriquelet story.

(Thanks to @TVolscho for bringing it to my attention)

[Thomas Volscho @TVolscho]

@Emolclause @kbriquelet actually broke this in 2020. https://t.co/z3P2mqGF4G

[Thomas Volscho @TVolscho]

@kbriquelet and I did a story on a similar 2002 situation in Singapore.

Epstein made a lot of connections on the 2002 trip, Clinton made a lot of money giving speeches.

A few years ago, the great @KBRiquelet and I dug into longtime Jeffrey Epstein lawyer Darren Indyke's background. We found his connections ran through the firm Gold & Wachtel and a notorious tax dodge run by his father.

Nicole Parke dazzled Hollywood’s elite with her billionaire persona. Now, lawsuits allege she deceived investors, friends & employees. An exclusive investigation by my fellow Daily Beast alum @noah_kirsch for @marieclaire.

Kathryn Ruemmler (ex-White House counsel) is listed as a successor executor in a copy of Epstein's last will and testament from January 2019. I previously reported she was at Epstein's arraignment the following July.
