Very good point.
I believe it is a known fact that Trump has personally reached out to “influencers” and asked them to help make this go away. Asmongold mentioned this.
Agree completely.
They just go to Hillary Clinton.
“Raw criminal investigation files are never released publicly, for excellent reasons.”
The Epstein files should be treated the same as all other criminal investigation files.
If they are normally released then Epstein’s should be released, if they are normally not released then Epstein’s should be treated the same way.
This is our “Dreyfus affair”. lol
It would help if Trump would not keep making it worse. It has actually started to quiet down until he relit the fire blaming his supporters.
“Raw criminal investigation files are never released publicly”
“Very good point.”
Then that was all they had to say. Geesh
“Thus, the New York Times headlines, “Trump’s base is in open revolt over the Epstein case.” This delights them.”
Liberal media is delighted.
“Conservative” media are enjoying the increase in clicks.
for some reason president trump is talking about it daily.
while fox is following it by not saying anything on fox news.
Honestly, I’m sick of hearing about it as well.
And criticism of certain members of the Trump administration as well.
Pretty clear that the Biden DoJ created some fake Epstein records implicating Trump and other GOP officials and the fakes can’t be distinguished from the real ones. No choice now but to try to make the whole thing go away, no matter how suspicious it looks.
Information and the control of the same, is the only thing that matters around the Beltway bureaucracy and the press-media. What do you know, and how can it be used?
I think that the SDNY destroyed any original evidence and fabricated files that implicate Republicans. The reluctance to release the files to Bondi was likely baiting Republicans to make noise for exactly what is happening.
wiki has a lengthy Epstein entry, including this:
Alleged connections to intelligence agencies-——Epstein was rumored to be associated with Intelligence agencies. The U.S. journalists Dylan Howard, Melissa Cronin and James Robertson linked Epstein to the Israeli Mossad in their book Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
They relied for the most part on the former Israeli intelligence officer Ari Ben-Menashe. According to him, Epstein’s activities as a spy served to gather compromising material on powerful people in order to blackmail them. There is also a possible connection to the Mossad via Ghislaine Maxwell, whose father Robert Maxwell is said to have had contacts with the Mossad.
Epstein’s victim Virginia Giuffre also alleged Epstein to be an intelligence asset, linking on Twitter to a Reddit page, that alleged Epstein was a spy, running a blackmail operation.[296]
As U.S. Attorney in Florida, the later U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta reached a settlement with Epstein’s lawyers (including Alan M. Dershowitz) in 2008, which allowed him to receive a very light prison sentence. Acosta later reportedly stated that he was told that Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and that the issue was above his “pay grade.”
According to Acosta, he was pushed to give him a good deal.[297] Former CIA Director and diplomat William J. Burns met with Epstein three times. According to a CIA spokesperson, Burns hoped that Epstein would help him “transition to the private sector.”
I hope the President doesn’t allow this un-important case ruin the marvelous record he has in MAGA.
The AG must reveal all she has about Epstein and let the chips fall where they may. But she should definitely give her opinion as to the reliability of the sources.
A promise is a promise!!
The mob calling for Trump’s head on this forum the last few days has been very disappointing.
The "excellent reasons" are that Americans have been subject to centralized, statist control for at least 3 generations already. We expect to be lied to, and we accept excuses for secrecy of everything. We have also lost most of our moral perspective and certainly, our independence.
When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, everything was investigated, released, and the sentences were carried out within 7 weeks.
Then again, John Wilkes Booth and Mary Surratt were not on the payroll of other government organizations.
If your brain is too small to handle a single distraction, then maybe you need to study harder and get smarter. Those of us who can handle more than one thought at a time do not consider this to be a distraction, but rather an important moment when the rich and powerful might FINALLY face consequences for their most horrible actions.
Bondi is playing games. This administration is supposed to be transparent. She can simply release the names of the pedophiles. She can blur pictures and videos. There’s 10,000 of them.
“the political dimensions of the scandal have been absurdly overblown”
Sorry, the writer is talking out of his arse.
Someone is in prison for running a child sex ring for very wealthy folks.
The guy behind it died suspiciously in jail custody.
Young women have spoken up about what happened to them.
But, we don’t have a single name of the Adults that committed the horrific crimes.
Or a list of payments.
Or a list of passengers.
And it’s all gonna just go away, like every other criminal act of the well-connected.
and ya wonder why some folks are saying - “let it all burn!”
Raw criminal investigation files may never be released publicly, but if someone is indicted and convicted of crimes based on these files, it can’t all be “raw”...
