Stupid question amnesty: If Trump selectively ordered investigations into Democrats that appear in the Epstein files and an active investigation is the planned excuse that that information can't be released, won't that have the opposite of the intended effect?

"Well, we can't release any information pertaining to ongoing investigations, so here's all the Republicans."

Pretty much everything he does is goes to keep ramping up the pressure on him.  His crazies aren't letting this go short of a full release.

It has to be done by December 19th.

We've already had over 30,000 pages released (most from his estate) and we know the DOJ has a much larger number of files.

Anything held back is going to ramp up the crazies. And the DOJ can't release a few hundred redacted files, as the AP says:

Quote

However, the law also makes clear that no records shall be withheld or redacted — meaning certain parts are blacked out — solely because their release would cause embarrassment or reputational harm to any public figure, government official or foreign dignitary.

Mike Johnson and Co. really fucked up.  Trump is going to go against the law just passed and try to hold back a lot, but it'll be the Streisand Effect on acid.

I mean...yeah. I am not interested in protecting any of Epstein's buddies. And color me skeptical any Democrat I actually like is in those files. Probably a bunch of old creeps we were planning on trying to defeat in a primary anyway.

This pretty much sums it up:

Anybody with a brain has known Trump was doing creepy crap with Epstein. He was a known rapist and creep back before he was a political figure.

Walked in on young girls getting dressed at a pageant. Nope. No signs of creepiness there. 

The vast majority of people, when asked "What is the youngest you would have sex with?" would recoil from the question. "That's really gross", or something. Trump's answer? "Well I wouldn't have sex with a 12 year-old". That is disgusting enough, but knowing Trump like we all unfortunately do now, that translates to "I would have sex with a 12 year-old but I wouldn't want it known."

All they want to cover and, therefore, everything they want to see is part of the political horserace. The premise of the question is, "surely you see the world as I do, that is merely blows dealt and received by the Dems and GOPs." It passes for subtlety among the meat puppets on the TV.

So intellectually vacant and narrowly focused coverage of the news has, IMHO, promoted the transformation of American politics into the NFL. Particularly, obviously, for the right.

Is this because it might make a pardon from the dotard more difficult? 

Of course it is. Anything she would say under oath will almost certainly incriminate dotard.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Maxwell quietly pardoned in the next several weeks and she'll leave the USA never to be seen or heard from again.

She can shack up with Kitara in Brazil.

I hope he does pardon her.  It's going to cause the more outrage than anything he has ever done while in office.  It will ratchet the pressure up on Republicans an astronomical amount.  The Epstein scandal is finally the thing he can't shrug off because it's both horrifying and easy to understand.

Kind of like Watergate.  People understand a burglary and attempts to cover up a burglary.

And bragged about it publicly. That tells you pretty much everything you need to know about the asshole.

Also, this bears quoting.  Because....for real.  I would suspect that most of my peers would give an answer along the lines of "I guess the technical answer is she's gotta be at least 18, but man....I'd feel creepy AF to be with a gal who wasn't at least out of college/in her mid 20s/is in her 30s even."  For most of us, there's kind of a hard barrier that's tied into the age of our daughter, if we have one.  My daughter is in her mid-20s.  Make me single tomorrow, and I STILL couldn't imagine myself being with one of her friends.  Dude.  No.

But Trump?  Jesus.  That his mind even went there.  "I wouldn't go as low as 12" are words that should never come out of any non-sick fuck's mouth.  The concepts of "sex" and "12 year olds" shouldn't ever exist in your brain at the same time.
