Sounds like ‘The Machine’ is now focusing on ‘picking off’ Bongino.

The fbi and Biden admin both had reasons to alter the information in the Epstein files (if there ever was anything there in the first place). So is releasing information that you know is misleading worth spending the next few years clearing the names of innocent people ? We still have people who think Trump was a Russian agent

There is a multitude of different opinions on releasing these files from prosecution on one side and the other side protecting the innocent, this will never be reconciled as long as we live.

However, if there were any government employees involved (on our tax dollars elected or appointed) and they’re not dead yet I want them prosecuted and die in federal prison, let’s start there.

There has to be something there that President Trump has decided will do more damage than taking flack for not releasing the list.

Then again, maybe they are holding it for leverage.

Or maybe not.

Maybe there is no there there....

(Personally I opt for the damage theory).

It’s the Russian Collusion Hoax, Part 2. The fakes news mafia will gin up ANYTHING to stir the pot against President Trump.

If liberals leave the Whitehouse removing keys to the key board, if they stay in positions designed to cause the next president to fail, if they are willing to set up a past president about keeping records they gave to him, if they investigate a hoax with a special counsel to keep Trump from having power, if they impeach him twice over made up charges, then is it really a stretch to assume they doctored the Epstein documents?

The so-called Epstein client list has become what Alfred Hitchcock used to call the McGuffin.

He was inferring it was fairly meaningless in itself and merely a plot device.

The McGuffin was the thing which the protagonists and antagonists were fighting over.

And so it is with this “client” list.

The side trying to get their hands on the “client list” believe there is a shadow gubmint which is protecting evil actors in positions of wealth and power who are pedophiles and more than that intelligence communities who were using their evil actions as leverage against them in other words black mail.

Put me down in that column.

But I might be wrong.

I’m more than willing to be disabused of that notion.

That’s why both the folk saying the Epstein list is unimportant and those saying it isn’t important have a valid point.

It’s not this McGuffin, it’s something much, much bigger than that.

It’s moral authority and credibility which whatever amount of those gubmint ever had; has been squandered away by all the administrations going as far back as Eisenhower.

Trump’s justice department was as corrupt as any in American history through no fault of his own, until Merrick Garland came along and found ways to make it even more corrupt.

Trump is doing UNBELIEVABLE things mostly on his own with as little as help as can be expected from the Republican wing of the uniparty.

The problem is he has made this a bigger deal than it should have been.

Whether the decision to call case close nothing to see here was indefensible, the way it was mishandled was more indefensible.

The way Trump has mishandled the mishandling has done himself damage.

It appears that Patel and Bongino were led to believe that the case would be allowed to move along although I now think they were being strung along by whoever were the powers that ordered Blondi to put down the cased closed nothing to see here declaration.

But Trump has mishandled the mishandling by stepping out front and attempting to use all the political capital and goodwill he has built among MAGA to shield Blondi, Patel, and Bongino from publicly answering how they can explain the call of case closed nothing to see here with ALL their prior statements which will be used as receipts against them.

As it is now Blondi is in withdrawal as she has become more addicted to the camera than a Kardashian.

Bongino has evidently been placed in witness protection.

Eventually, Blondi, Patel, and Bongino will have to meet the press.

And all their public proclamations of transparency and openness will be put on trial.

And at that point most will see that the Epstein client list is just a McGuffin for something bigger.

Still a manufactured controversy. A distraction, the latest big deal. I can’t wait to see how it pans out.

Why not a powerpoint explanation, answering questions. He just had a couple days off. Just tell what you know and don’t know, cannot prove, and kick this to the ditch.

Keep in mind why they are now targeting Bongino— because he has Schiffty Schiff dead to rights, and Schiff will be indicted and convicted. Bongino the lead on this- cannot stand the pervo Schiff.

So they weasel word into some “division” between FBI and DOJ and Bondi. There is none, and manufactured media.

Which Rand, btw are you a fan of— the opthamologist Senator or ...Ayn. There IS a difference, you must be aware.
Look how ineffective libertarians (who say that are, but are anything but) have been. Bitching over tiny little points that attract no one. Even if they had Musk money backing them- they couldn’t develop leadership and faith which MAGA has conquered historically over the derp state lying demonrats and their fellow traveling RINOs all eating at the trough. No more.

Where was all the concern about Epstein when he was alive?.

Now he’s a news decoy handy for what the democrats are up to?.

Don’t take the bait! There is clearly an issue that needs to get worked out here but they want us fighting among ourselves over this when we have far more important issues to deal with instead of salacious drama. Like maybe election integrity before next year? Or maybe trillions in debt? Epstein is dead, his partner is in jail. We will get the other names soon enough but let’s keep our eyes on the ball. Getting Bill Gates in court is not worth giving the reigns of control back to the Democrats over. It is vitally important that we choose our battles wisely right now. Time is not on our side.
