Relating to the controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s ties to late billionaire intercourse abuser Jeffrey Epstein, Trump and his administration are behaving the way in which youngsters do once they’ve been caught mendacity, however they’re method too invested within the misinform do something however double down increasingly desperately. They’re within the media, kicking and screaming about how harmless Trump is, and the way the Democrat bullies are simply selecting on him, however they’re additionally whining concerning the launch of any paperwork which may comprise the reality, regardless of the fact is.
If Trump is so harmless, why is his administration attempting to stress congressional Republicans to vote in opposition to the discharge of Epstein recordsdata?
From The Guardian:
Donald Trump has cranked up his intense stress marketing campaign on congressional Republicans to oppose the complete launch of the justice division’s recordsdata associated to Jeffrey Epstein, earlier than an important and long-awaited Home vote on the matter subsequent week that many Republicans are anticipated to help.
The bombshell launch on Wednesday of scores of Epstein’s emails has shone a highlight on the president’s lengthy historical past of involvement with the infamous intercourse trafficker, together with revelations that he knew extra about Epstein’s conduct than he beforehand let on.
On Friday morning, because the uproar continued, Trump declared that he would as a substitute ask the Division of Justice to analyze Epstein’s ties with Democrats, not Republicans, singling out Invoice Clinton, Larry Summers and Reid Hoffman. Trump additionally paradoxically referred to the “Epstein hoax” and known as it a “rip-off”.
It’s anticipated that dozens of Republicans will vote for Republican Thomas Massie and Democrat Ro Khanna’s discharge petition, which calls for the Division of Justice launch all of its investigative recordsdata on Epstein inside 30 days.
So, simply to recap: Trump says all the Epstein scandal is a “hoax,” however he additionally desires to waste the DOJ’s time by having it examine the “rip-off” in a fishing expedition for Democrats who’re not in energy that the administration can tie to the factor that’s purported to be a “rip-off” and “hoax.”
Principally, Donald Trump is out right here attempting to make a federal case out of, “I do know you’re, however what am I?”
In the meantime, the White Home is taking a look at Home Republicans with the stink eye and mainly telling them: “Don’t vote to launch the recordsdata! Why would you even try this? It’s so silly! They’re silly! You’re silly, and anyway I’M GOING TO TELL MY MOM!!!“
In response to CNN, high Trump administration officers summoned Rep. Lauren Boebert — certainly one of 4 Home Republicans who determined to be damaged clocks for as soon as and signed the discharge petition — to a gathering within the White Home State of affairs Room with U.S. Lawyer Basic Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to debate her and her colleagues’ demand that the Epstein recordsdata be launched.
Once more, it’s like Trump stole cash from his trainer’s purse and now he’s attempting to persuade his classmates to not inform.
Sadly for Trump, there’s in all probability not a lot he can do to cease the vote from occurring. As we reported final month, Republican Home Speaker Mike Johnson successfully delayed the Epstein vote by refusing to swear within the new Democratic Rep. Adelita Grijalva whereas the federal government shutdown, which lasted almost two months, was nonetheless ongoing. Grijalva can be the deciding 218th vote. However the shutdown ended this week, and the freshman congresswoman was sworn in on Wednesday, so now the vote is probably going coming whether or not the president likes it or not.
This week, we reported that the Home Oversight Committee launched emails during which Epstein stated explicitly that Trump “spent hours at my home,” and that he “knew concerning the women” who had been being abused on his island. Epstein’s e mail discussions additionally closely implied that whereas Trump didn’t take part within the abuse of younger girls and women, he completely knew about it and remained silent.
The revelation gave the controversy a contemporary bounce begin. I imply, non-MAGA folks had been nonetheless commenting, “launch the recordsdata” on just about any information story associated to the president, however the Epstein debacle had simply fallen out of the on a regular basis information cycle lengthy sufficient for Trump to get a breather on the scandal that has plagued his second time period.
Yep, the poor president with predator buddies to match his predator previous simply can’t catch a break.
Pool, little man.
