"So you're telling me there's a chance." We laughed when the "Dumb and Dumber" character uttered that but that attitude was reflected in real life by a New York magazine writer which makes it even funnier. Yes, the extreme Hopium expressed by that magazine's Intelligencer section senior editor, Margaret Hartmann, over the incredibly slight possibility that Jeffrey Epstein's postcard letter to imprisoned serial sex offender Larry Nassar might be valid is made hilarious by its sheer desperation  despite the much less than million to one chance that it could be true.  You can see Hartmann on Tuesday going full "Dumb and Dumber" in her plea for even slight hint of damning evidence against President Donald Trump, "Did Epstein Really Send Larry Nassar a Suicide Note?" ...the DOJ posted the image of a handwritten letter signed by “J. Epstein,” which was sent to convicted sex offender Larry Nassar in 2019. The letter, which is postmarked three days after Epstein died in prison, seems to allude to Epstein’s plans to end his life, and accuses Trump of sharing their love of “young, nubile girls.” Soooo … did the Justice Department just unceremoniously drop an Epstein suicide note that suggests the president was involved in his crimes? Big if true! But it’s hard to know what to make of the letter, there is significant reason to doubt its legitimacy, and now the DOJ claims it’s “fake.” "Significant reason to doubt its legitimacy?" Try OVERWHELMING reason to doubt it, Margaret. We’ve known about the existence of this purported letter from Epstein to Nassar for years. In 2023, the AP published a report on more than 4,000 pages of Epstein-related documents obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request to the federal Bureau of Prisons. The letter itself was not included in the documents, but the AP did find correspondence between prison officials debating what to do with it... 2023? And was that not at the time when the Biden administration DOJ was conducting over-the-top lawfare against President Donald Trump? If there was the slightest chance that letter was valid does anybody think there would be any possibility that letter would not be quickly released to a very compliant media? Another document posted on Tuesday reveals that the FBI asked its handwriting analysis laboratory to examine the Epstein note in 2020. ...But the documents released so far do not say if the analysis was ever performed, or what it concluded. Later on Tuesday, the DOJ announced that the letter is “FAKE,” without providing any documentation to back up this claim, or explaining how this forgery ended up in the Epstein files... Perhaps the answer to handwriting question is so obvious that you don't need to to be a handwriting expert to come to a conclusion on this matter as the New York Times Investigation Editor David Enrich reveals:   We have compared Epstein's supposed letter to Larry Nassar with multiple examples of Epstein's actual handwriting (which were provided to @nytimes by a source). I'm no handwriting expert, but.... see for yourself. pic.twitter.com/Vk30fZOwuc — David Enrich (@davidenrich) December 23, 2025   "All we can say for sure: we’ll probably never know if the note is real, so it will just be added to the ever-growing pile of Epstein conspiracy theory fodder." Actually we do know for sure and so do you, Margaret. FAKE. Too bad you think your readers CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH so you pretend that there is still some slight doubt as to the validity of the letter.
