There have been arguments this week about whether Jeffrey Epstein should be released on bail — is he a danger to the community? Would he commit other crimes if he’s released? Is he a flight risk? Could he be trusted to fund his own house arrest in his New York mansion? Should it matter to the judge that so many other defendants struggle to post even a couple hundred dollars in bail?

Then: CNN is reporting that Trump Organization executives are unlikely to be charged in the case where Michael Cohen pleaded guilty for making an unlawful and unreported campaign contribution (remember those hush money payments?). Why not?

Plus: a judge orders Roger Stone off social media, Michael Flynn is still cooperating, and some feedback on our emoluments discussion last week.
