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...

“So it’s Trump and Bondi who created the Epstein mess?”

Bondi and Kash turned a minor issue on nobody’s radar into a world class mess.

They failed to invoke their absolute right to remain silent.

“why would anyone protect those scum bags?”

_____________

That’s a ridiculous question. The corrupt DOJ has been protecting them for several decades. Where have you been Rip Van Winkle? You think all-of-a-sudden because you get a few faithful leaders in there that all the tampered with evidence becomes pure as the driven snow?

Get a clue.

Last I read there were 150 victims paid $121 million. The fund shut down in August of 2021. In the earlier Florida case against him, some of his employees were given immunity, despite the fact that they helped with the scheduling of appointments for the girls, as well as other duties. In the report the government submitted for his pre-Bond hearing in 2019, employees were once again mentioned, and that they helped facilitate the activities of the girls, ie., making appointments and other duties. There is nothing out there as to who those employees were. The report says “employees,” so that means more than just Maxwell. Where they have gone is anybody’s guess. Obviously they were never charged.

It is a good question that I can’t answer. Pros and Cons. I don’t see it as the resolution.

Certainly, someone should be looking at the money trail as the Senate Finance Committee is trying to do.

Ari Ben-Menashe who was involved in Iran Contra (as was Epstein) and was in Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate said Epstein worked for Israeli intelligence.

I want to know if you are accusing Alexa Acosta of a hoax and tampering with evidence. He had to resign as Labor Secretary because of Epstein.

I imagine those compensated signed NDA’s and the settlements were confidential.

Kash attacked conspiracy theories on the Epstein matter and then a few hours later the President announced a conspiracy theory—with zero supporting evidence btw—that the Democrats faked the Epstein files.

Think about it.

Weather changing fast.

Sometimes it’s blowing cold then it seems to blowing just a bit warmer.

It’s kinda like we need an analyst to do the political weather.

I hesitate to use the term word Stormy to describe anything in the Trumposphere.

No, they were not friends. Epstein was just on the invitee list to big to-dos.

Like Trump on everyone else’s list.

When Epstein got invited to a Mar-A-Logo event he harassed a staffer and Trump kicked him out for good.

It’s like saying he is friends with Bill and Hillary because he invited them to things.

Minor issue? Bondi's screw ups pale in comparison to mess that was left for Trump and his administration.

There is no evidence anyone but Epstein and Maxwell were sexually abusing the “girls”.

The Democrats got voted out of office—and they certainly deserved that.

We do not want to follow in their footsteps.

I dont understand those that keep saying only a few girls have come forward. There have been a lot of payouts.

Leon Black paid US virgin islands 62 million dollars. I think that was going to be used for victims.

Here is one of the little black books

Do you have a link to Acosta saying he was asked to back off and/or that Epstein was an intelligence asset?
