Beware ‘Ragebait Engagement Farming’

This is excellent, vintage Clarice. This is where I fall on this issue. Dan should NOT resign and this matter should be put to bed for the good of the country. The Democrats and foreign leaders are salivating that they have an issue to separate Trump from his loyal voters. But if we allow that to happen, we deserve the ridicule they will lay upon us. This is NOT the hill to die on, so let's move on and MAGA. Trump needs all of us behind him. To date, he has given us no reason to abandon him. Epstein is not a good reason.

A good effort from Clarice. How dare we suspect that there is something nefarious going on, when we have been told there's nothing nefarious going on here. I'm afraid the administration's biggest mistake was to fall into the classic trap: were you lying then, or are you lying now?

Clarice, as usual, is right on the money. Many people in positions of power in this world are pedophiles, sexual predators and worse. It exists in governments and in worldwide religions. To tie them to some list that may or may not exist or may contain names of celebrities is futile and unnecessary. For many of those sickos, this is lifetime conduct, not necessarily conduct at the facilities of Jeffrey Epstein. Those like Bill Clinton were known long before we knew Epstein's name but democrats were fine with his behavior and actually made excuses for him. To put this controversy on the head of Pam Bondi is wrongheaded and suggests the need for a scapegoat in a sad and criminal exploitation of unfornate young girls.

Just let it go. Sure, they're pedophiles and rape babies. It doesn't matter because they are better than us. We should let our betters have their fun and get back to our salt mines where our taxes in total exceed 50%. After all, our betters need that money to buy the aforementioned babies.

This is the longest winded "nothing to see here, move along" Monty Python skit I've ever seen. We're being convinced that it's all smoke. We will NEVER get the truth...NEVER.

Guessing this is as far as this story goes. What do we know about Epstein? He trafficked underage people to rich, powerful, and influential clients. We also know some of these people are murderers. Going further, some of these people know how to make themselves disappear leaving no record of their existence behind. They can do this to others as well. Some of those trafficked children probably 'disappeared' too. Somehow one of these people got exposed, probably indirectly, and it was time to clean everything up. Epstein is dead. End of story. All of this shows how Washington works folks. It's a den of vipers and we keep electing them.

If Bondi can explain to me how a high security penitentiary has a high profile prisoner, who is on suicide watch In a private cell was able to hang himself successfully than I will leave her alone. Epstein list will show what we already know, they re mostly all mad and filthy lying cons in the global cesspool of politics. bah humbug Mr President. Put the spotlight firmly on this issue do not sweep it under the rug. We don’t voyeuristically need names, just prosecute the guilty. No more hidden secrets

Behind the scenes, Bondi is no doubt managing cases extremely well that go before the Supreme Court. That's where she needs to stay, and not on Fox News publicly opining and predicting legal outcomes of high-profile prosecutions. The DHS Secretary seems to have gotten the message. As for Trump's intransigence, I'm thinking that exposing the sex lives of some of those on the list to worldwide public humiliation is one of the few lines that even he isn't willing to cross.

I think Clarice is right about this. It’s starting to remind me of all the conspiracy theories about the JFK assassination: if there was anything more to it, the evidence would have surfaced by now. They’ve fingered two people - Prince Andrew and Dershowitz - and those cases went nowhere. If there were any videos, we’d know about them by now. And Bill O’Reilly was right: if the files were made public, the press would go after everybody whose name appeared, and most of them would be innocent of any wrongdoing but they’d be ruined anyway. Pam Bondi screwed up. She should have chosen her words more carefully. She won’t make that mistake again. And trying to divine something sinister from the meeting between Bondi and Dan Bongino is a fool’s errand. It’s time to let go of this. It’s radioactive, and it needs to be buried.

I can see how all this puts a guy like Bongino in a quandary. I hope he doesn’t quit, because we need his talent. I hate to see bad people get away with evil deeds, and would love to see criminals pay for their malice while they’re on earth. But a worse fate waits for pedofiles, usurpers and murderers in the next life. Woe unto them.

I'm not happy or satisfied by their statements about Epstein. I don't think he committed suicide. I believe he was blackmailing people. I believe there were dozens, if not hundreds of video/audio records. I don't pretend to know why they are doing this, but only state it gives them a very bad look. This stuff should have been open and documented at the beginning. I don't blame Bondi or Patel for anything. I want to know who they're taking orders from and why that person wants this covered up.

Attorney General Bondi controls the Government's evidence in the Epstein case. After touting impending revelations, she attempted to dismiss the whole matter with a holiday weekend leak. Sure there are rage merchants and click farmers but more critics of this turn of events are simply perplexed and disappointed. Most would be satisfied with a redone memo (signed, dated, and available to the public on DOJ's website) offering not only conclusions but a convincing summary of the evidence and investigations on which they are based. A press conference that made key resources available (such as personnel responsible for determining that Epstein's extensive collection of child abuse videos included nothing he could use for blackmail) would also be helpful.

#6, we are suppose to to be better than that. MAGA was truth and justice. It was to end the corruption not bow down to it. It leaves a very distasteful lump in my throat that as a country we are protecting child molesters and perverts. I don't know, some because they are too powerful bull hockey we are the mostful county in the world, President Trump is the most powerful man in the world. Or because it would expose our government because we are using it for nefarious purpose, That's called corruption. We were to clean-up our government not join the rats. President Trump gave no facts for the decision, and sorry to say he's the one giving the orders. I'm not saying he knows about it but that the buck stops on his desk. He needs to make an informed decision. The lump in my throat tastes like evil won this round. I can live with it, I've been on this earth long enough to have had to swallow more than once. I've been working on a D-Day project so I'm tuned deeply into that - family ties too. Those brave souls believed in their heart and soul our country was worth what they faced. They believed their command cared about them and that they believed in God and Truth. If they didn't believe in Truth the outcome would have been completely different. Read their stories, listen to them talk about it it's there on the Library of Congress. Watch the vids. It is that belief that our country was different, better, because we stood for Truth. Turning our back on the truth now won't make a difference on the world stage but it will make a difference to some who know we had the chance to stand for truth and didn't. My hope if that Dershowitz will break his oath of confidentiality and tell us the truth and/or Judicial Watch will.

Get Bondi, Patel, and Bongino at a table in front of the press. Make them answer every question; the good, the bad, and the ugly ones until the press is exhausted. We will listen carefully and evaluate.

Thank you Clarice! Every moment and line of type we give Epstein is too much. The man is dead. Dems are enjoying the distraction--especially the estrangement between Bondi and Bongino. Bondi overpromised, yes, and needs to clarify what she said. Bongino needs to put on his man-pants and shut up. He's talented; but part of his job is to support HER and not rock POTUS's boat. He's failing at both. They both have a duty to keep the MAGA agenda rolling along and it's taken a hit over this nonsense. I'm ashamed of both of them.

Let's move on folks....this is fake news stirring the pot......

It's maddening when information is withheld from the public. But I'm not going to lose sleep over the crimes of a dead person whose deeds and collaborators will not go unpunished. I'm more interested in understanding the workings of the MSM's "Ragebate Engagement Farming". I had to look it up. It has always puzzled me that adults I know and respect so easily fell for the Russia Hoax. The hoax was based on the notion that Donald Trump was an existential threat to the United States, yet in "need" of Putin. A free and unbiased press would have been all over that nonsense, instead of lapping up self-serving leaks from Trump critics determined to make Trump out to be the conspirator. That's an ongoing threat that continues. The MSM could have brought more attention to Epstein if it wanted to. But it didn't. It's not blaming itself for not digging into a story it could have exposed. It's blaming Trump. As it always does.
