Are Rs or Ds preventing the police from doing their jobs?  If the cops or FBI have evidence of a crime then they should be doing something about it.   If someone is interfering with that, then there is an issue

What investigation? There's just the files Comey and Biden wrote. And Trump is just trying to protect them by covering it all up.

 

Unless you think he's actually covering up a real pedo's crime? For no reason at all, I'm sure.

So the big gotcha is one side campaigned on releasing the Epstein files, and the other side didn’t give enough of a fuck about it to make it an issue?

“Your side is blocking the release!” Isn’t a slam when your own side didn’t give a damn about children being sex trafficked in the first place. 
 

Its patently obvious that no one in power, or who once held it wants the results of that investigation released.

When a politician makes a lot of noise about getting something done when said politician’s party was in power for four years and did nothing to achieve that objective then it’s performative crap.

Seems to me that discussing what the president and his circle are saying, comparing it to what they’ve said in the past, and reporting on the congressional vote is news. “Both sides”ing it and crying with accusation about “performative” whatever is CR af. But whatever. So predictable

I get that it seems like nothing matters anymore, and norms and precedents don't exist or are for losers, but a President's administration unilaterally deciding to release names and evidence from an ongoing, unresolved investigation didn't used to be a thing. It's not legal, in fact. Even if it could hurt your political rivals.

6 years later and we’ve got one person in jail?  Helluva investigation they’ve got going on there. 

Let’s suppose they are still investigating and are on the 1 conviction per decade plan. Wouldn’t that make politicians demanding the information be released, an illegal act as you say, performative crap?

Trump, White House race to stem Epstein conspiracy fallout -

Reuters Link

Spoiler

...

In an effort to contain the fallout, Trump and White House officials are weighing a range of options including unsealing new documents, appointing a special prosecutor and drafting executive actions on issues such as pedophilia, according to two White House sources with knowledge of the matter.

Trump and senior aides have also reached out to key MAGA-aligned influencers, urging them to dial down their criticism of the administration's handling of the Epstein investigation and shift focus to broader priorities for the America First movement, one source said.

The backlash over the Epstein case has laid bare tensions inside Trump's coalition and is testing one of Trump's most enduring political strengths: his ability to command loyalty and control the narrative across the right.

The outcry comes amid discontent among parts of Trump's base over the U.S. strikes on Iran, continued involvement in Ukraine and any hint of backsliding on the administration's hardline immigration promises.

The two sources said the intra-party friction was damaging to the coalition and that the White House was actively trying to restore unity, though they did not expect the Epstein controversy to dent Trump's core support.

Many conservative influencers and hard-right media figures remain unconvinced by a Justice Department memo last week that concluded there was "no incriminating client list" or any evidence that Epstein may have blackmailed prominent people. The review also confirmed prior findings by the FBI that concluded that Epstein killed himself in his jail cell while awaiting trial, and that his death was not the result of a criminal act such as murder.

Trump knew Epstein socially in the 1990s and early 2000s. During the 2021 trial of Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell, the financier's longtime pilot, Lawrence Visoski, testified that Trump flew on Epstein's private plane multiple times. Trump has denied ever being on the plane and has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

That history now complicates Trump's response, as he works to reassure a base steeped in long-running suspicions about Epstein and his connection to influential figures.

Trump has defended Attorney General Pam Bondi against calls for her firing by some MAGA personalities. He has urged his supporters to move on from the Epstein saga. "I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case is of interest to anybody," Trump told reporters on Tuesday. "It's pretty boring stuff. It's sordid, but it's boring, and I don't understand why it keeps going."

🙄

Both White House sources said there were mistakes in how information about the Epstein files was shared with pro-Trump influencers, especially by Bondi, who had previously implied that a list of Epstein's clients existed.

The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment, and Bondi did not answer questions on Tuesday about Trump's comments on the Epstein files at a press conference.

The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment, and Bondi did not answer questions on Tuesday about Trump's comments on the Epstein files at a press conference.

...

While some prominent voices outside the administration are falling back in line, others are not.

Charlie Kirk, a key MAGA influencer who had amplified doubts about the Epstein probe, abruptly reversed course after a call with Trump, one of the sources said. On Monday, Kirk posted on social-media platform X: "I'm done talking about Epstein. I'm gonna trust my friends in the government."

🙄

Trump's call for critics to back off is not landing everywhere.

Podcast hosts including Joe Rogan, Theo Von and Tim Dillon, whose large audiences are not necessarily pro-Trump but broadly anti-establishment and helped propel his election victory, are unlikely to let up, according to Angelo Carusone, president of the progressive nonprofit watchdog group Media Matters for America.

Some of Trump's staunchest political allies also are keeping the pressure on. House Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson, called on Tuesday for the Justice Department to release more Epstein documents.

Representative Lauren Boebert, a hardline MAGA supporter, made her own demand on X: "We deserve the truth about the Epstein files. I'm ready for a Special Counsel to handle this."

I personally just think the is way too much awareness of and information known on this issue to pull the usual "nothing to see here, just move along". When you've got some hardline politicians along with heavy right lean influencers not taking your side it's an issue. (A very good "issue")

I think politicians don't want to get on the wrong side of this as in a future election it could truly scuttle their career. On the influencer side, those that have been around KNOW that being way on the wrong side of things in the present can ruin you in the future. Waaaay too many examples exist. Sure, some will cave but those with a broader base that get political and non-political love/attention will be less apt to do so.

I'm really surprised that Trump hasn't floated the idea of arresting Bill Clinton yet. Seems like that's where this is going. Or maybe he will attack Russia as a distraction. Either way, he's going to need a big story to make people forget that Epstein didn't kill himself, and that his DoJ releasing doctored footage of his jail cell only confirms it.

I’m not the most researched but let me take a stab. Because in 2008 Alex Acosta gave him a non-prosecutorial agreement that wiped out federal crimes - despite that (and after the Miami Herald published a big report in 2018) SDNY worked to find charges that could work around it, and they landed on sex trafficking in order to make the later arrest stick. 

Additionally, after Epstein’s death in 2019, Maxwell was fighting her charges and I don’t believe she was convicted until 2021 and her appeals (I think) are still pending. Criminal files involving sex with minors don’t become public.
 

This normal handling of sensitive information was just seized on by QAnon and right wing podcasters looking to feed into the pizza gate stuff that Dems run a pedo cult, and it was a convenient way to attack Biden: “who are you protecting!?” “Release the LIST”

Meanwhile Trump and Epstein were friends for twenty years and victims talked about meeting Epstein at Maralago - and now Trump won’t shut up about how this is a hoax made up by Dems.  Ok sure

We live in the upside down world. Barack Obama FUCKING KILLED OSAMA BIN LADEN AFTER 10 YEARS but all the GOP can do is talk about how he’s from Kenya.

Trump didn’t start this delusional brain rot, he just figured out how to harness it for personal gain without any boundaries. We literally have a DOCTORED EPSTEIN VIDEO FROM THE DOJ but it’s okay because it’s just a hoax created by Obama and Biden (who just a few months ago Trump claimed has been out of his mind for years but was still able to pull off this elaborate Epstein hoax).

He must think there's video tape of child rapes in some DOJ vault somewhere or that they were discovered when Epstein was arrested and then 86'd by Barr, right? Besides, how on earth would Garland or any other future AG have prosecuted the friends of Epstein? Unless the victims are willing to testify, all the other potential evidence is inadmissible by hearsay. William Barr could have prosecuted the friends of Epstein when Epstein was still alive. Or of course Trump's buddy Acosta could have, too.

So then what was in the files that were on Bondi's desk a few months ago? 

Why make all these claims about the files only to have some of the most vocal critics appointed to the FBI then backtrack on those claims?

Why did the Trump administration doctor the footage of Epstein's jail cell and try to present it as evidence? 

I would think a semi-normal person, such as yourself, would have the same questions and many more. It would appear to me, a normal guy who is not a fan of a child rapists, that this is a cover up. It seems that Trump himself does not want the files about all the child rapes and sex slavery released either. Why he doesn't want to release it is just a mystery we may never solve...

Ya know what I think is going to happen here?

They are going to release some list.  There will be a few names of dead people and Prince Andrew on it.  It will not be verifiable.  It'll probably be written in sharpie.

TFG will say, "See?  There was nothing here.  I didn't want to embarrass the families of all these dead folks, but the fake news media and democrats blah blah..."

That will be plenty enough for TFG supporters to not just both-sides it but to view this as more persecution of dear leader.
