Read the Base, Trump: Voters Want Epstein Accountability
PJ Media ^ | 07/12/2025 | Catherine Salgado

Posted on 07/12/2025 9:48:01 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

One of Donald Trump’s popular campaign promises was to work on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, so we could see how many people still in power were clients of the infamous child trafficker. In a new mystifying message, Trump not only supported his attorney general in not releasing the files; he bashed his own base.

Voters love Trump for defying the Deep State, for promising to drain the swamp, for vowing to track down criminals — especially child abusers. He was elected on promises of enforcing the law against criminals. Now Attorney General Pam Bondi is claiming that the Epstein files are just a myth, even though she had previously claimed they were sitting on her desk (apparently Epstein’s guilty plea to child prostitution and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell’s 20-year prison sentence for conspiring with him to abuse minors were accidents). The truly shocking part is that Trump is backing Bondi. We saw this sort of debacle play out with Richard Nixon. Trump should not make the same mistake.

Furious MAGA voters expected Trump to ask Bondi to resign, or at least to rebuke her and remind her of his campaign promise—one that many voters were enthused about—because child exploitation by elites is a topic that riles most Americans, especially since many of the victims and elites in this case are still alive. Instead of reading the room, figuratively speaking, and sitting Bondi down for a talk, Trump posted a message on Truth Social that contradicts his former comments and has already garnered backlash, with both X and Truth Social exploding as Trump voters decried the message.

Re: "The DOJ has no lawful right to release ANY of the Epstein documents. Really? Why not?"

Because the DOJ obtained those documents by swearing in court that those documents might provide evidence of criminal misconduct.

If there is no evidence of misconduct, the DOJ has to return the documents to the Epstein Estate.

After a 20 year investigation - 2005 to 2019 - there is still zero evidence that any under age female had sex with someone on the Epstein Client List.

Could it be that the whole Epstein saga was merely a Deep State effort (like Russia, Russia, Russia, Cross-fire Hurricane, Hunter's Laptop, etc.), to create a ruse and distraction ?

Whenever some "bombshell" is dropped, I immediately suspect intentional, purposeful, targeted misinformation, which is the Deep State lifestyle......

“The base” wants jobs, illegal aliens out, cheap gas, lower taxes, and national security. Whatever “base” you are talking to doesn’t amount to a threat to our MAGA movement except in your mind. Bannon, Carlson, and Jones are Schumer, Pelosi and Crockett’s little helpers.

Ok, the files are released, a few important people are shamed and deny everything. In the end, what do you have?

Promises made. Promises kept.

What good would it be to expose these people?

Legally, perhaps not much.

Politically, plenty.

One of Trump’s campaign promises IN 2016 was to release the list of DC pols who have paid off, or are paying off, their sluts with our tax money. Never saw that, either.

Ghislaine Maxwell would beg to differ.

There was testimony and evidence released. [https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/28/us/ghislaine-maxwell-sentencing/...much as I hate to cite CNN...]

“It may involve POTUS or other important figures. ... His private life is him and God and his family.”

If “other important figures” = people whose decisions are detrimental to us and the country, then his private life is our concern. I’m thinking people like John Roberts, Lindsey Graham, etc., i.e., “conservatives” who vote the wrong way.

“My only goal with Epstein being revealed, is the destruction of the deep state, the destruction of perverted wealthy people, and REVENGE for the children who were used as sex toys.”

What else is there? I think it’s called “justice”.

(Plus, they lied to us. Don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining. Sheesh!)

Some here have said that Netanyahu’s name might be on it. Susie Wiles is very close to him — even moved to Israel to help him in an election, or electionS. And Trump + Bibi are cohorts in negotiating for peace so something like this would be a huge bump in the road.

Is it possible that the prior Biden admin or other intel corrupted those files by adding Trump and others into it before the Trump admin took over?

Is that why Bondi messed up with putting out those worthless binders? Is that why the about face?

Could it explain why Trump said innocent people may be in there who did nothing and that it was concocted by his enemies?

It is possible when you think about the leak to Axios that is still unexplained.

They’re deceitful DC politicians, for Pete’s sake.

If Hillary can concoct an entire fake dossier telling a detailed tall tale, haven’t they considered CREATING a fake list? The title at the top: “My Blackmail List by J. Epstein”. I can’t believe they haven’t thrown something out there just to shut everyone up.

Re: "Ghislaine Maxwell would beg to differ."

The link you sent me is dead.

Are you claiming that Maxwell identified Epstein Client List men who had sex with under age females?

Are you claiming that Maxwell identified under age females who were paid by Epstein to have sex with Client List men?

First time I am hearing this.

President Trump said the files are fake.

So—case closed!

I am trying to figure out how you tell the difference between a real Epstein file and a fake Epstein file.

Well—the case is closed so that will just have to remain one of the great mysteries of history.

” there is still zero evidence that any under age female had sex with someone on the Epstein Client List.”

Barbie clearly said that the Epstein stuff is “full of CHILD porn”. That fact, added to the the fact that he had pinhole cameras in EVERY room, would make any sentient person draw logical conclusions that there were under-age females (maybe males, too) involved.
