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...

"Think Durham Report, LOL"

Think Mueller Report. The people charged, their crimes had nothing to do with Russia, Russia, Russia. A big waste of time, so an old man could collect a paycheck while somebody else ran "his" investigation.

It don’t matter who’s in Austin…

I can’t comment on this article due to an ongoing investigation.

Let’s have some details about this:

Epstein’s NPA agreement approved by Alex Acosta gave 4 unnamed individuals immunity from prosecution for the Palmdale Beach case. The SDNY case indicts multi-state child trafficking. Epstein’s fund, to pay off victims, has paid off over 100 girls. All court proven facts here. I’m. It going to deep dive a case file that has over 10,000 documents currently publicly available for chomo sympathizers. Those facts alone and the US govt given at minimum 4 other people immunity in the case with over 100 identified and compensated victims is enough to spur inquiry. Not a hoax, may not be what we think it is. However, Trump is covering it up. Why?

[Mr. K]

What is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for?

Trafficking children to who?

[rollo tomasi]

The sheer volume of children (I don't like the “underage girl/woman” speak) Maxwell was pimping out to “only” Jeffrey doesn't make sense. Got convicted based on only one client, lol. At least they covered up Heidi Fleiss’ “political” Johns with a tax conviction. This stinks to high hell and needs to have a real investigation where discovery is fully exposed. Don't give me this pseudo-legal horse crap of withholding “raw evidence”/empirical "problems" that will drag Jeffrey's powerful friends down.

Signed, Epstein's mother.

I prefer Bondi does what she said she would do and release everything. Sorry if you were at the island of a skumbag and are innocent. Really how innocent are Bill Gates of the world anyhow.

[ClearCase_guy]

The judgment against Maxwell made no mention of other parties involved in the sexual abuse

I certainly didn’t see it in 2022 but in hindsight, the writing was already on the wall. Maxwell procured, Epstein abused. That’s it. Full stop. That’s the complete decision from her trial. He’s dead, she’s in jail. Let’s all stop talking about it.

I was expecting a whole lot more, but The Powers That Be had this one tied up with a bow three years ago.

[Starboard]

Thank you posting that. It gets right to the heart of the matter, i.e. why would anyone protect those scum bags?

One thing the administration certainly knows and could settle at this point is the question of whether Epstein was an intel asset. That is central to understanding this whole sordid affair.

[Old West Conservative]

So do you oppose or support (a) special prosecutor(s) to look into the 2 situations?

[mykroar]

I’m getting whiplash here.

[Old West Conservative]

From the thread?

[jacknhoo]

Again, you think the DOJ didn’t tamper with the evidence. Hard to fathom someone believing that, after all they’ve done to protect the people involved with Epstein.

Like I said, you should take President Trump’s slam personally.

[Oystir]

Thank you. I was wondering if he is still around. But, shhhhh, don’t say anything about missing e-mails it could start a conspiracy or two!!!!!!!

[skimbell]

Read somewhere today that DJT approval rating has really gone south. The article said that Trumps current approval rating is within one point of his all-time low.
That might have something to do with his change of heart.

[FLT-bird]

There ya go. That’s what he should have done wrt Epstein from the start. Finally an advisor with some sense got to him.

[packagingguy]

This story is all over the map. Alan Dershowitz was one of Epstein’s lawyers and said he’s not involved with the Mossad. Alexander Acosta, US Attorney and Trump’s Secretary of Labor, was told to back off the Epstein case because he was an intelligence asset. Then there’s no client list but Speaker Johnson wants the list released.

This whole thing is a complete mess.

[dpetty121263]

Trump is trying to hide it...didn’t work and cat is out of the bad as he will personally have to apologize to me before I come back..
