On Tuesday, President Trump took umbrage at a question about the Justice Department’s assertion that there are no Epstein tapes, there is no client list, and there is nothing more to be released. The Twitterverse has been brutal towards AG Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and his #2, Dan Bongino. Many people were saying they felt betrayed, given the fact that, before the election, we were told that the files would be released and the criminals held to account.

Too many big and powerful names involved. If we think we will ever see these people prosecuted we are dreaming.
We might not like it, but there isn't a frigging thing we can do about it.
It's probably the only real bi-partisan thing in the country today.

The Deep State termites have eaten most of the structural integrity of the country and we are not even looking for them nor repairing the damage.

I’d like to see this cleared up, but…how about prosecute Hilary first, then half the Biden FBI, CIA and associated cronies. Then lock up all the J6 commies to include Pelosi and Cheney. So many bigger fish than these jerks that can’t keep it in their pants.

This Article says it all! Ignore it, down play it, but this issue will be the mosquito in a dark bedroom, turn on the lights and it disappears only to return when the lights go out!

From Epstein to Hillary, Comey, Brennan and a slew of others, nothing is ever going to happen to any of them. Move on with your lives people you're wasting energy.

I want to know how Epstein could afford a 21M townhouse in Manhattan, own an island, a ranch in New Mexico, a house in Palm Beach, Paris, a private passenger plane, and employees to run all that, all while doing nothing more than spending his time on a massage table. Please release all bank records so we can see where the money came from, and where the money went. Banking records and flight logs exist, and FOIA says they shall be released. It is not in the discretion of the DOJ or the FBI not to release them.

True #1. The only other bi-partisan decision is when it comes times for Congress to vote itself a cost of living raise.

Hillary was famous for "at this point what difference does it make?"
Trump's lecture will not be forgotten either.
The next time I hear Trump talk about the stolen election and the FBI involvement, my comment will be: "Why are we still talking about this?"

IMHO, it seems that one of these two is obvious, as regards PDJT's handling of this: duplicity or incompetence. I hope this doesn't turn into his Teapot Dome or Iran Contra situation. Or it could be fear. But that is a form of incompetence, isn't it?

Nothing more or nothing less should be expected! Checks and balances were written into our Constitution as a hedge against wicked men’s and women’s corruptions, but wicked men stay up late, devising new ways to exploit the poor. There is nothing new under the sun!
Psalm 73, written 2,600 years ago (+-), speaks to our current political/cultural situation, as if it were written today. Verses 1-15 explain the situation, but beginning in verse 16, we get the real, TRUE way to interpret our current events:
Psalm 73:16. But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task, until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I discerned their (the wicked’s) end. Truly you set them (the wicked) in slippery places; you make them fall to ruin. How they are destroyed in a moment, swept away utterly by terrors!
2 Corinthians 5:10 - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

There are no more excuses. If a government can't survive without child r@pe blackmail, does it even deserve to? Trump has the ultimate authority here. Not Blondie. Not Ka$h. Not, weepy Bongino. TRUMP.
If his excuse is that he's using it as leverage against the "Deep State" (total BS mind you) but, if that's the story, he IS Epstein, just with a different name. Is he just protecting his buddies? His family? Himself? The god forsaken, rotting system?
Gut check time ladies and gentlemen. WHAT are YOU willing to look away from?

#3: those may be the very people who are being protected by, or running, the Epstein cover-up.

I see two reasons why Trump might not want to pursue this: 1) the evidence has been destroyed that implicates most of the guilty and 2) he is trying to protect underage victims.
There may be other logical reasons, but I don't know what they are.

I would have a lot more respect for Bondi*, Patel and Bongino if they simply issued a statement that in their eagerness to discredit the Biden Administration over the last four years. They were a bit intemperate in their various statements about Epstein, the investigation, etc and now that they have access to those files. They now realize they cannot be released for national security purposes. Full Stop.
You may also want to listen to this morning's Larry O'Connor show on www.wmal.com interview Tom Fitton of Judicial watch. They discuss the Epstein case and JW's FOIA lawsuit seeking those records. For more info their FOIA lawsuit:

* - I think Harmeet Dhillon would have been much better as the Attorney General than Bondi as Harmeet never struck me as someone who shoots from the hip as Bondi does with her statements, etc.

As far as I'm concerned this is proof that the Trump people are just as dirty and just as involved as all the other swamp rats. I will never look at him the same way again. If DC just disappeared it would be a blessing.

The buck stops with Trump. He seems to have decided to continue stonewalling, maybe believing that the story will eventually fade. But the opposite is true. As time goes on, more and more of MAGA is upset.
I don't think his name is on the list. Before he took office, he said that he would release the list on day one. If he thought that his name even might be on the list, he would've said something more vague.
Nixon's "crime" was trivial. But the cover-up brought him down. Trump is the last hope of our country. The alternative is a party that champions violent gangs, drug dealers and communists.
I hope to God that he wakes up and does the right thing.

I think a significant amount of President Trump's support comes from the perception he is fearless and honest (certainly my take). This could eat away at that support unless publicly resolved.

I would love to get answers, but I fear I won't. Too many powerful people involved. I can only take comfort in the knowledge that one day they will meet the Just Judge who will give them the sentence they deserve.

Is it true, as someone just told me, that Trump never did say he would release the Epstein list? That it always came from Bondi? Is that true?

I agree with #12. Timing, and I think President Trump does not have the dominoes that need to be lined up after he releases the Files in place yet.

Abject evil had complete control of our government before this election. God has providentially provided US a POTUS who loves our country and our Founding Documents. Trump has shown repeatedly that he is willing to fight against all enemies and all odds to MAGA. He dealt with issues that were harmful to that goal, both successfully and beneficially, when he didn’t have the inside information that he has now.. He has made vast improvements on many fronts, and very quickly, with more promising revelations coming every day, since his receiving control of power. It is humanly impossible to handle every problem at once. So, his choices of the problems to handle first, and how he handles them is okay with me. He seems to know what he’s doing, even when others question him. Perhaps that’s an important part of “the art of the deal”.
He earned my trust by regaining power after enduring and overcoming every effort of many of the same enemies that still plague him, and US, to prevent that victory. He has gained more experience and knowledge of how to fight and win against those enemies with every issue that has arisen.
The peanut gallery can critique and criticize, but they aren’t the ones bearing the weight of the battles that hone the instincts and skills. I will always pray for his health, protection, strength, courage, guidance and wisdom, and support him in every effort, because I believe he does what he does with an eye toward a good outcome for all of US.
If he makes honest mistakes along the way, I’ll pray that he continues to learn from them, and use that knowledge toward winning what’s best for US. That would not have happened under those who held power before him. I know that he knows Who is in ultimate control. I believe he looks to Him for guidance. We need to do the same.

The unsigned and undated two page memo that DOJ now portrays as the last word on the Epstein case began life as a holiday weekend "leak" to the anti-Trump website Axios. Who in the White House, if anyone, shared DOJ's belief that the public's concerns and suspicions about the case could be so abruptly and cavalierly dismissed? Perhaps no one, since the President seemed to be genuinely surprised to be questioned about Epstein on Tuesday.

If this cheap garbage could have deep-sixed DJT by now, it would have. We've only got him for a way-too-short while. Let's not allow those seditious Leftist nitwits to ruin us while they're busy trying-but-failing to destroy him. MAGA

Ryan Dawson names names! For years, he's been doing what journalists used to do: "he combed through court transcripts and charging documents". The funny thing is no one in the MSM wants to touch this. Strange that? He's not been sued, no porn discovered on his hard drive, car not exploded, home still standing, not committed suicide by shooting himself in the back a dozen times etc. Ergo he cannot be legit, right? See for yourself in his interview with Larry Johnson:

We've all seen this before.
The Media is completely captivated by a 'juicy' story - Sex scandals sell papers and clicks- while a multitude of other, more important things slide by below the Media radar.
What ELSE is going on, while the Media chases this laser-pointer dot?
