WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal as a growing number of those in his own party supported it.
“We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on social media late Sunday after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida.
Trump’s statement followed a fierce fight within the GOP over the files, including an increasingly nasty split with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had long been one of his fiercest supporters.
It’s not a reversal it’s the next step in the coverup. Now that he knows it will be released with or without his approval he’s betting that if he says at the last moment he wants them released that he will look like the good guy.
But also, to be clear, nobody has ever said that Trump did anything wrong but the fact he is / was so against them being released means that he is protecting somebody. Himself? Clinton, Gates, Musk? Who knows but it doesn’t fucking matter.
Release the files, no matter who’s in them!
He’s protecting the trove of blackmail itself. It’s not about a specific who that’s in it— blackmail material loses its value once it’s released and that is decades and dozens of powerful people who will suddenly be useless. Epstein and Maxwell weren’t making their money from trafficking. They were making their money from collecting and selling all manner of secrets.
Hm? I feel like a lot of people said he did a lot of fucking things wrong.
Pretty sure it was assumed he might be in them, but it only became extremely obvious that something potentially damning was in them when he started fighting it so hard despite saying he’d release them before getting elected.
But if you mean in general, then yeah, for sure lol.
There is no absolute proof…yet. Until then we can best use the “If it walks like a duck” offensive.
