Yep. I'm reading about how George Bush senior raped a man and participated in cannibalism and torture rituals with a magical sword that leaves no scars. I'm feeling a bit skeptical about some of these.

We all knew Epstein was bad. But we didn't know the depths of his evil. I'm talking of course about cannibal rituals and torture with a magical scimitar that leaves no wounds.
That didn't actually happen of course. Fabulists and crazies can email law enforcement. I think this is the danger of such a big data dump. Some part of it is real in some factual sense. Some other part of it is modern day Satanic Panic. I see on reddit people discussing Trump checking underaged girls for tightness and then auctioning them off. That's horrific. Really vile. And I'm just a little suspicious also as fictional as the magical scimitar.

At least somewhat related: In 1994 Californians passed Proposition 187 which amended the California state constitution to deny some public services to illegal immigrants. Such as state college and non-emergency healthcare. It was immediately ruled unconstitutional by a federal court.
Some weak version of this was tried and ruled officially forbidden.
Filled to the brim with FBI agents and informants. To the point it causes problems in prosecutions since the FBI informants did so much of the alleged illegal actions.
Google has decided not to give me a link showing this despite my efforts, but by memory I recall that the prosecutors asserted that breaking open the door to a federal park building is a serious crime. Which is true. But, the individual who broke the door open in the Oregon Bundy standoff was working for the FBI and not a defendant. They had guns; but an FBI informant gave them the guns. Etc, etc. The defendants all got acquittals. Too many informants per right wing would-be victim of an actual government conspiracy muddies the waters on what the "militia members" are actually responsible for.
Something similar happened in the Gretchen Whitmer FBI kidnapping scheme. Those COINTELPRO victims who went to trial had good success at getting acquitted.
But the only thing voters hate more than the price of their home decreasing is high inflation.
