Interesting potential 2pm inflection point in #uspoli.

Will he appear? Will it be cancelled?
Sitting or standing?
Will he be pumped up with stimulants and a broom stick up the back of his jacket?

Will he be as incoherent as usual, or worse?

Fifty bucks to anyone who yells "Epstein on line two for you sir" and see if he replies "I have to take this."

It's fun to speculate, as the world continues to crumble.

Likely possibilities would seem to be:

a) he shows up as normal, and the whole thing was a stunt to disrupt Epstein questions
b) he shows and is a mess, spokesperson says "wow, he's perfect," media ignores situation
c) Spokes tries to downplay with: "oh he's in hospital for a perfectly ordinary issue" eg appendicitis or plantar fasciitis.

(There's also the tiny chance of a spontaneous worldwide party, so keep your calendar open.)
