Here’s what my Victory Dance looks like. It starts out withy a waist level uppercut, like Joe Frazier taking out Kenny Norton. That’s followed by a series of sawing motion fist pumps at waist level, and completed with a bellow and chest thumb like King Kong after he dispatches Godzilla. All accompanied by the soundtrack of Yes! Yes! Yes! YES! YESSSSSS!
I have been waiting eight long years for this. Today it was announced that all purpose scumbag and Trump sycophant Boris Epsteyn had been indicted in the Arizona criminal alternate elector scam. How many times have I told y’all to stick a pin in this one.
It took long enough. I had hoped to see him indicted in the Fulton County case, but apparently he didn’t leave a big enough footprint in that case. Vut one thing aleays gave me hope. Jack Smith was going after Trump first. But once that’s done solo, there’s still going to be time to indict and convict the lower level douche bags like Stone, Bannon, Navarro, Eastman and Epsteyn.
I’ll be honest. I’ve despised this toad since the first time I saw him. He’s so slimy that slugs pour salt on him. If you’ve ever seen him, he looks like the kind of creep who shows up at your door, claiming to have an order of eviction, just so you pay him off to go away. The best part was when Ari Melber conversationally eviscerated him on an appearance on The Beat.
There’s a good reason why I wanted him to go down. Epsteyn is the weakest link in a chain made of paper clips. When Melber dismantled him and puit him back in the original shipping box, Epsteyn’s made to order explanation and excuse was, Everything I did wasm pre approved by the Trump lead counsel, Rudy Giuliani. Right. I’ve heard that one before, I vas only followink orders! at Nuremburg in 1946.
I have been looking forward to this moment simply because Epsteyn is such a total and obvious fraud. He desperately tried to be the replacement for Trump’s fixer Michael Cohen. Unfortunately Epsteyn has the only personality in the world worse than Trump’s. As dormer Senator Al Franken once said of fellow Senator Ted Cruz, To know Boris Epsteyn is to not want to know Boris Epsteyn. He has the personality of a hangman.
But at his heart, Epsteyn is weak, petty, and vindictive. When dismantled by Melber, Epsteyn immediately laid all blame and responsibility at the feet of Rudy Giuliani. The problem with that defense? The last time I checked, Epsteyn and Giuliani were both barred laywers. Epsteyn had the training, skills, and experience to determine for himself whether the instructions he was receiving were legal and ethical. Obviously he failed the test, since he’s now about to be arraigned and booked, mug shot, and hopefully perp walk included.
And take my word for it. Now that he’s in the hurt locker, the thought of losing his silk suits, his soft job as Director of Political Programming at Sinclair Media, and having to model orange, and eat and sleep with actual criminals will have Epsteyn rolling over like a puppy looking for a tummy skritch.
Having spent my entire life following the rules, I have a natural ;pathing for rich, pompous stuffed suits with letter after their names who think that those same rules don’t apply to them. And I am going to enjoy watching Boris Epsteyn’s self imposed demolition almost as much as I’m enjoying watching Trump’s ego wither and die in that Manhattan courtroom. And if that makes me cheap and petty, I can live with that. After all, I’ve paid my dues.
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
Is Boris facing a felony? Can he be … deported? Petty… nah, just hoping immigration laws are followed…
where was he born?
He was born in Moscow in 1982 and came to the US in 1993 with his family.
I’m not a lawyer or immigration specialist but I don’t think that someone who was brought to this country as a minor can be deported. (His Wiki article doesn’t indicate when he obtained his citizenship–his high school and college graduations are listed, along with when he obtained his JD but nothing about his becoming a citizen. According to one source, he may have become an “automatic” citizen if one or both of his parents became citizens before he turned 18 but, again, I don’t really know how to do a decent search on revocation of citizenship and/or deportation when the person’s citizenship happened as a minor.)
He always struck me as a creepy and arrogant ass. So happy he’s been caught, would love to see him in cuffs being perp walked.
Thank you, Murphster! This schadenfreude pairs wonderfully with tonight’s dinner!
My disappointment with the Arizona indictments is that Kara Lake wasn’t included.
Maybe next time.
Maybe there won’t be a next time? I’d rather that than any punishment that might be leveled against her.
That makes you neither cheap nor petty.
You have a strong sense of justice.
YES YES YES MURPH …. THAT WAS FUN! You do know that he is sitting with TRUMP every day in the court room in NY.. Lisa Rubin reported seeing him there by some aide the other day.
HERE shared it all on THREADS

ALSO NOTE: this just up from LISA RUBIN…
NEW: Trump lawyer Emil Bove is a more skilled cross examiner than Trump has had in any of the three prior trials I’ve witnessed. But he just miscalculated badly. 1/
