A quotation from Thomas Fuller

Never trust a malicious Man upon the Account that thou hast done him good Offices: For thou hast but fed a Dragon that will devour thee, if ever thou comest within his reach.

Thomas Fuller (1654-1734) English physician, preacher, aphorist, writer
Introductio ad Prudentiam, Vol. 1, # 948 (1725)

The White House’s responses fit a pattern of suspicious behavior from the president on this matter. #Trump has said of #Epstein’s accomplice, #GhislaineMaxwell, “I wish her well”—a strange thing to say about a #convicted #felon who systematically abused young girls. His admin has granted her a cushy upgrade for her stint in prison, including a transfer to a minimum-security camp & puppy visits. This has the appearance of a #QuidProQuo.

A quotation from The Bible

If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners do that!
 
[καὶ εἰ ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστίν; καὶ γὰρ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτοὺς ἀγαπῶσιν. καὶ [γὰρ] ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιῆτε τοὺς ἀγαθοποιοῦντας ὑμᾶς, ποία ὑμῖν χάρις ἐστίν; καὶ οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσιν.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
Luke 6: 32-33 (Jesus) [GNT (1992 ed.)]

Several associates & supporters of #NYC Mayor #EricAdams are expected to face #corruption charges in coming days….

Adams, who is just months away from facing voters in his bid for a second term…, is not expected to be charged. But the defendants…are expected to include his closest political ally & former chief adviser, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, & her son, both of whom are already facing corruption charges handed up late last year.

…The judge in the case, New York Supreme Court Judge David B. Cohen, is likely to issue his ruling on both parties’ motions for summary judgment in the coming months. A trial could begin in early 2026.

…#Smartmatic argues in the suit that #JeaninePirro served as a conduit to #Trump associates who said the election was stolen, including the lawyer #SidneyPowell.

“It’s Jeanine P. Got a former CIA chief of station who knows [about] development of Dominion,” she wrote in a Nov. 10, 2020, text message to Powell, referring to another #voting #technology company that some #Fox hosts claimed was involved in a voting fraud scheme.

#Smartmatic included many of the conversations in 468 pages of filings to bolster its contention that #JeaninePirro & other #Fox hosts were determined to stay on Trump’s good side for a variety of motives. It said Pirro, a longtime friend of #Trump, sought to secure a #pardon for her ex-husband, Albert Pirro. Convicted earlier of #TaxEvasion & #conspiracy, Albert Pirro was the last person Trump pardoned during his first term.

A quotation from Jean Racine

The reason why the Cardinal [Mazarin] deferred so long to grant the favors he had promised, was because he was persuaded that hope was much more capable of keeping men to their duty than gratitude.
 
[La raison pourquoi le Cardinal différoit tant à accorder les grâces qu’il avoit promises, c’est qu’il étoit persuadé que l’espérance est bien plus capable de retenir les hommes dans le devoir que non pas la reconnoissance.]

Jean Racine (1639-1699) French dramatist
Fragments Historiques [tr. Bund/Friswell (1871)]
