But I think the main reason was because of the Maxwell prosecution. Was that the actual reason or was it Garland just being well… Garland

I I understand at first the files were sealed, and it was kept that way not influence the jury in any way during the prosecution. Once she was sentenced there was no excuse not to release the files.

Smith may be a blowhard but he kind of has a point.

Agreed Yo Momma. Stephen A could take a long, long break from any broadcasting. I apologize for not making this post during the Biden Administration.

by indictments, though much deserved.

Not that I follow him closely, or at all, but I hadn’t heard him speak on the Epstein files before.

I don’t know, maybe the Biden administration was trying to pursue things like the J 6 criminals and the classified documents case, while having to navigate an incompetent and corrupt judge in Florida and a sycophantic SCOTUS.

He’s such a liar. I have tried to find something about him that I agree with but it’s a zero. Just like I felt back in. the 80’s and today about the orange turd. Nothing redeemable.

the emails the Dems released recently are from the Epstein estate, aren’t they? Did the DOJ even have those files? Didn’t Congress request them from the estate? There are too many players here. The ones Congress is requesting now are from the DOJ, that the FBI has, or not?

It has all come from the Epstein estate. So the Democrats could not have released these files before now.

this week. Since they didn't come from the DOJ, there is no way you can say definitively that the same documents could have been released by Biden's DOJ.

After a while everything runs together. Plus at this hour, for me, not a lot makes sense. Have a great night.

he's talking about... Just a Pedo Protecter.

TY

What he should do is STFU and go away.

Much in line with Cowheard and the ilk. They have a big audience say semi-contranarian views and mostly don't seem to know anything about anything.

His opinions and knowledge of sports are just as bad as his opinions and knowledge of politics.

It's not that hard to understand this.

was let go by ESPN for calling Trump rightly a white supremacist, well they offered her an ESPN+ show and she declined but that was at best a demotion but as far as Stephen A Smith why is he allowed to constantly give bad takes on politics and he is one of the main personalities on ESPN?

I liked ESPN better when Stephen A was just a guest from the Philadelphia Inquirer and wasn't a featured personality. Also seems like ESPN was a more prestigious network in those days.

People don't watch ESPN for political commentary

Which there seems to be more of. Most of the primetime NFL announcers seem to be Republicans. I remember Colinsworth though with a different network at NBC said that Kentucky residents are proud people that don't want "handouts" after mentioning how Kentucky was impacted by a natural disaster. I think there was ad to donate to Red Cross for disaster relief.

Off topic but it seems like right wing commentary is okay in sports while Kaepernick, Hill, and most other sports figures on the left are discouraged from discussing sports or politics.

He needs to be completely removed from having a public audience for anything he thinks or says about any subject.

Stephen A. Smith will not be fired by ESPN because they gave him a 5-year $105 million contract. For the life of me, I'll never understand why they would give him that much money. It seems to me, he drives away way more viewers/listeners than he attracts. I, for one, will immediately turn him off the second I see his face or hear his voice. I can't stand him.

He is even worse than Smith, abominable television. Nothing at all enjoyable or relaxing about sports coverage any more. Horrible, had to stop using treadmill at gym cause both these assholes were on at the times I went. Just looking at them, with the scroll across the bottom of the screen, saying all these inane things, just made me angry.

or stick him in a padded cell with Guy Fieri and let them drive each other crazy.
