Trump embraces special prosecutor for weaponization probe and Epstein, vows new declassifications

President Donald Trump on Wednesday embraced the FBI’s decision to open a conspiracy probe into a decade of alleged intelligence abuses and weaponized law enforcement, suggesting it could be led by a special prosecutor and even delve into “credible evidence” in the Jeffrey Epstein case in order to give Americans a greater dose of transparency and accountability.

He also vowed to declassify two highly sensitive pieces of intelligence to help further the prosecutor's efforts.

“Well, I'm happy that they did that,” Trump said during a wide-ranging interview with the Just the News, No Noise television show when asked about the FBI’s decision a few weeks ago to open a probe that examines abuses from 2016 to 2024 by Democrats and government officials as a continuing criminal conspiracy. “I don't know much about it, but it deserves to be done.”

“It was a disgrace what happened, what happened in 2016 and what happened in 2020. It's a disgraceful situation," he said. "And our voting has to be straightened out. I always say if you don't have borders, if you don't have fair and free voting, you don't have a country.”

Unprompted, Trump then volunteered on his own that a special prosecutor – if one is appointed by Justice – to look at weaponization could also delve into "anything credible" on Jeffrey Epstein and his files to make sure Americans have a full accounting.

“I think they could look at all of it. It's all the same scam. They could look at this Jeffrey Epstein hoax also, because that's the same stuff that's all put out by Democrats,” Trump said, when asked what he’d most like to see the FBI investigate.

When pressed whether he was comfortable with a special prosecutor on weaponization also looking at Epstein, he answered, “They've already looked...

“The head clearly snaps back and to the left”

Spoiler alert: The Epstein situation will never be settled or revealed to the satisfaction of Les Miserables Freepers.

Think about this:
Obama/Biden and their FBI flunkies , et al had access to the “EPSTEIN FILE” for 12 year. You suppose they MIGHT have been ORDERED to “REWORK” the data to include the names of their mortal enemies in the ranks of conservatives and TRUMP SUPPORTERS?
YA THINK that might be Trump’s motive in keeping this stuff off the street?

That sounds like one of those “conspiracy theories” Kash was talking about.

President Trump made the claim.

Let him prove it.

“There have been a lot of payouts.” And those victims of rape/prostitution who got payouts are part and parcel of what Prof Dershowitz is talking about when he says some records were sealed by a judge after the Maxwell trial-no matter how many scandal lovers stamp their feet and howl for more dirt, those records of victims-and some wrongly-accused people-are closed. Those people have rights, and many probably signed NDA’s to secure their privacy.

Also-stuff from Maxwell’s trial is sealed because she has asked the supreme court for a new trial and their decision is pending. The public does not have the right to see scandalous details of someone’s personal life if a court says “no”-I would not like it if I were a victim in a scandal-it could affect my ability to get a higher education, a good job, financial standing, my personal relationships, etc.

There are more important-and positive-things going on...

Don’t forget about being foolish, and a weakling, and doing the work of the Democrats, and not even thinking about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success. He said that too.

I don’t have a problem with a victim complying with an NDA or a victim having their name withheld. We don’t need the name. Post after post after post is saying if this really happened why aren’t there more people coming forward. They have come forward. Some have been compensated.

DOJ said this:

“”Consistent with prior disclosures, this review confirmed that Epstein harmed over one thousand victims,” the memo reads. “Each suffered unique trauma. Sensitive information relating to these victims is intertwined throughout the materials. This includes specific details such as victim names and likenesses, physical descriptions, places of birth, associates, and employment history.”

Trump has decided suddenly, after years of saying the opposite, that the Epstein files are a hoax, boring, they don’t matter, and anyone who talks about them is a “bad person” and a weakling. He’s entitled to his opinion. But the idea that conservatives are obligated to also change on a dime and adopt this new perspective along with him is just madness. It’s not even possible. I can’t just decide to not care about the issue even if I wanted to. And I don’t want to.

Why do we have to wonder if that is his motive? What is preventing him from telling us that?

There was a wonderful quote from the days when newspapers mattered and used ink and type-set:

“Never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel”.

Modern version:

“Never argue with influencers with one hundred million views a week.”

🚨BREAKING: We now know exactly who had custody of the Epstein prison footage and how 2 minutes and 53 seconds vanished before the world saw it.

The cover-up has timestamps.

The probe needs to occur for lawfare, including the Russia scam. If dragging Epstein in will keep the Democrats at bay, it is worth it. I personally would like to see another trial for Ghislane Maxwell so everything will come out in Discovery. As far as Trump’s comments, he is trying to take away the Democrats only weapon - Epstein. They see a crack and have a lot of folks focused in that instead of the issues that have lost them elections.

First of all, I wouldnt believe anything that comes out of her mouth but still would like to hear her version.

Second, unless she says it was only her and Epstein this would put her life in danger.
