I was thinking the same about Mary Trump's book. He was horrible to his younger brother, no one gave him instruction or boundaries on how to behave... So horrible that they sent him to military school in his teens...
Thanks so much Scott - even with trump’s capitulation I sense his evil behind that too- he thinks they will be able to cherry pick who they accuse - but now Maxwell is lost to him thank goodness her lies are front and center - and I have faith the survivors, Virginia’s and Epstein families will make sure it ALL comes out….
Is that...is that a potato on his face? What a great improvement over his sneering, leering, spackle-slathered orange ass face! Thank you, Scott.
And as far as people like Massie and Greene actually doing something good, welp, this just goes to show how crazy a time we are in. Never thought I would agree with anything those two did. Ever. Sheesh
Probably changed his tune on the files because he has another trick or ten up his sleeves. But the longer we keep him wrapped up in this mess, the better.
To your point, I also don’t think he’s changed his tune. I imagine he will try to limit what’s released to what we already have. He will excuse this by stating that there is an ongoing investigation. I’m hoping that the Republican senators vote to save their own reputations. Sometimes the best we can hope for is an honor among thieves!
I agree with you, Ms. Jonington: he's an old hand at excuses, delaying techniques, "losing" things, and otherwise tying the interesting bits up in "on-going investigations." (Does anyone remember his taxes, the ones he was going to show us?)
Yes, he will hide behind what he says is an ongoing investigation into Clinton and another Democratic targets that he is told Blondie to investigate. Therefore, he will say that they cannot release those files while these investigations are going on. That’s what he’s going to use next.
Since Kash Patel released an official statement on FBI letterhead saying that the investigation is closed, and there’s nothing more to investigate, a judge will not hold back on releasing the files. Since the felon directed the AG open an investigation into Democrats only, it shows vindictive and selective prosecution.
That was my immediate thought when he changed his tune. He said “release the files”, not all the files, not the unredacted files, just the files. He’s got a plan, no doubt about it. Probably designed by Bannon/Miller. Hopefully, his worried sycophants who want to be around in the “after” times do too. 😬
We know that the UK has a copy. I'm sure others, including intelligence services, have copies, too. Plus the victims are speaking out. Add in Trump's fight to keep from releasing. I think a redacted drop will make things even worse for him.
I like that thought Robot. Trump tends to think he and his regime are all powerful, but he gets himself and them all twisted up in his lies. He doesn't look ahead much and to think that our government has all the evidence is not realistic. And God Bless the courage of the victims. They will tell the truth and have their own evidence. Sometimes when Trump gets upset, he admits things like the election was stolen, etc. He'll mess himself up. Cant wait until he is gone. Tide is turning.
You would think so. The same party that impeached Clinton for lying about oral sex doesn't think their own should be impeached for improperly leveraging foreign aid for blackmail material, trying to overthrow our actual system of governance, and now for being complicit and probably participating in a vast network of sex trafficking/influence peddling/money laundering/espionage. Can't make this shit up.
That was my thought too — that Ma Barker Bondi and her gangsters have eliminated all mention of Trump’s part in the Epstein sex trafficking operation. There will have to be expert forensic examination of released materials to detect alterations.
There are people, especially Maureen Comey, who have seen the files, and know what they contain. She could release the information on her own if she wants to.
His name has already been released on emails from Epstein's estate. Epstein basically called Trump a monster in them. So, he can scrub all he wants. There is already plenty out there to implicate him including the countless number of victims
I have read they will announce an investigation of a democrat ( likely Clinton) and then claim the files cannot be released due to an “ active investigation”.Any truth there?
Every GOP Rep. calling for release of the files is doing it purely out of self interest. They do not care about the victims. They are looking for a way to jump off the Trump Train because they see that it is about to crash. They will not be remembered for bravery or integrity. There will be remembered as purely self-serving
The Epstein Files: I think this means he has/they have classified everything with his name and big GOP donors in the files during the shutdown. They are only compelled to release what is unclassified.
Either that, or he’s ready to “retire” with his ill-gotten wealth and knows Rs will vote to release the files anyway. He can say they followed his orders. If he has been given so long to live by doctors, this is an out for him to go live the rest his life in abject luxury. In Saudi???
I suspect the vile idiot things Blondie will mumble some BS about “ongoing investigation” and attempt to not release… it will stalk, but in the end, much more will come out…
So now tRump is telling representatives to release the Epstein files. Either his doj has finished removing any reference to him or he has been playing us to distract us. But there is enough connection to Epstein…any connection to his FRIEND is really enough, because he had to know his friend was a pedophile!

I don’t know why, but 47 has been deceitful and a liar for probably 70 years. He’s not changing.
I'll see your 70 and raise you to 77, or whenever he learned to speak
I shudder to think what kind of childhood he had.
Mary Trump has given us plenty of insight into her grandparents disfunctional home.
I was thinking the same about Mary Trump's book. He was horrible to his younger brother, no one gave him instruction or boundaries on how to behave... So horrible that they sent him to military school in his teens...
Well put!❤️
I'm guessing he started lying not long after he learned to talk so it's closer to 80 years.
😂
Dude could literally have released the files already like he promised to do, but instead he’s acting like the House has to hold this vote now.
He can’t delay the inevitable forever.
Thanks so much Scott - even with trump’s capitulation I sense his evil behind that too- he thinks they will be able to cherry pick who they accuse - but now Maxwell is lost to him thank goodness her lies are front and center - and I have faith the survivors, Virginia’s and Epstein families will make sure it ALL comes out….

Anything is an improvement!😡

And Obama's birth certificate: the birther lie that launched his white supremacist- political career.

An interesting angle.
“The House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are ***legally***entitled to, I don’t care.”
That Susie Wiles is a wily one.
That was my immediate thought when he changed his tune. He said “release the files”, not all the files, not the unredacted files, just the files. He’s got a plan, no doubt about it. Probably designed by Bannon/Miller. Hopefully, his worried sycophants who want to be around in the “after” times do too. 😬
Yes, he has one helluva plan!
I agree.
Scott what if he’s scrubbed his name abs shredded everything? I’m concerned
We cross that bridge then... Dems taking the House can investigate the cover-up
I just don’t want MAGA to get away w his shit.

He needs to be impeached. He’s lost his mind.
You would think so. The same party that impeached Clinton for lying about oral sex doesn't think their own should be impeached for improperly leveraging foreign aid for blackmail material, trying to overthrow our actual system of governance, and now for being complicit and probably participating in a vast network of sex trafficking/influence peddling/money laundering/espionage.

IMPEACH CONVICT REMOVE
Ro Khanna feels there is enough information out there to provide sufficient cross referencing to get to the truth.
That was my thought too — that Ma Barker Bondi and her gangsters have eliminated all mention of Trump’s part in the Epstein sex trafficking operation. There will have to be expert forensic examination of released materials to detect alterations.
I like the idea of an impartial forensic examination of the files.
There are people, especially Maureen Comey, who have seen the files, and know what they contain. She could release the information on her own if she wants to.
His name has already been released on emails from Epstein's estate. Epstein basically called Trump a monster in them. So, he can scrub all he wants. There is already plenty out there to implicate him including the countless number of victims
Pig has a trick to try, that's why he sez bring it on.
He's a COWARD NOT A HERO, ABSOLUTE PIECE OF FILTH.
This is really the hoax. There’s no plan to provide a modicum of transparency but they will say “we tried”.
I have read they will announce an investigation of a democrat ( likely Clinton) and then claim the files cannot be released due to an “ active investigation”.Any truth there?
Yes. But there’s ways to get around that according to some leading democrats.
I read the same thing...just more delays..
Likely

He has stolen OUR money. He better not take off with it without consequences!
Agree!💯💯💯💯💯
🥔 doesn’t need the House vote; he’s the President and can release the files himself — any time 🗄️
I’m skeptical about this reversal. Shifting blame? Block it by claiming an ongoing investigation? Distraction? Something’s up that’s not good.
Justice for the victims! ⚖️

Why do you think Trump suddenly decided to tell House Republicans to vote yes on releasing the Epstein files?
The name trump has been removed and replaced with the name Clinton. 🤓
I think that DOJ has finished scrubbing the files, and all this stonewalling has occurred to await the ‘all is cleared’ signal
I suspect the vile idiot things Blondie will mumble some BS about “ongoing investigation” and attempt to not release… it will stalk, but in the end, much more will come out…
So now tRump is telling representatives to release the Epstein files. Either his doj has finished removing any reference to him or he has been playing us to distract us. But there is enough connection to Epstein…any connection to his FRIEND is really enough, because he had to know his friend was a pedophile!
