Trump Does A One Eighty
OH, SNAP!!!!
Overnight, Donald decided that having Republicans vote for the release of the Epstein files was not a bad idea and announced it to the world on Truth Social.
Why people are shocked this morning is beyond me because it makes perfect sense.
That is because he has asked Bondi & Co. to reopen an investigation into Clinton, Larry Summers and other prominent Democrats regarding their interactions with Epstein. And, if there is an ongoing investigation, guess what? The Epstein files cannot be released.
Oh, isn’t that too damn bad?
I am sure that is what is going on in Trump’s warped mind.
But, that is not a guaranteed outcome.
You see the victims can file suit over the fact that the investigation was completed back in March 2025 according to the FBI’s own report. So, a new investigation is for what? The only reason would be to shield the files from being released. And the DoJ can slow walk such an investigation for a long, long time.
A federal judge I am sure can understand that is what is going on and rule to release the files. Again, it’s another fight to the Supreme Court, but I think it is a worthy fight.
"If it looks like you're going to get run out of town, get out in front and make it look like you're leading a parade."
This classic Washington expression says it all about why Trump is now agreeing to have the Epstein files released.
Having called in every single I-owe-you, and having twisted everyone’s arm, and having used up every threat and attempted blackmail, and having insulted friend and foe alike to avoid disclosure, Trump now wants us to believe that he wanted full disclosure from the start. And should any incriminating evidence be revealed, Trump will promptly stamp is as “FAKE”.
There is one thing, though, that we can be certain of should incriminating evidence be revealed. Trump will hunker down into attack mode to divert the public’s attention from him, perhaps by invading Venezuela or taking other military offensive action, the way he bombed Iran when his birthday parade left him with egg all over his face, and the way he’s been blowing up boats and murdering their occupants, all occurring when Trump’s poll numbers have been taking a nose dive.
The next dramatic diversionary move, though, will really need to be a whopper if a smoking gun is found in the Epstein files.
Fasten your seat-belts. Our Liar-in-Chief is about to take us for a ride.
