Trump is desperate to put the Epstein story behind him....with limited success. In just the past few days Trump has commented (mostly on Truthsocial)"

“How did [former USAID administrator] Samantha Power make all of that money?”

Threatened to "scuttle a stadium deal if the Washington Commanders football team doesn’t change its name back to the Washington Redskins."

"....highlighted a memo from his director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, that said Obama administration officials planned a “treasonous conspiracy in 2016” aimed at Trump. Emphasizing the point, he posted an AI-generated video of Barack Obama being arrested in the Oval Office."

Posted a three minute clip of a "woman snatching an approaching snake from the grass, a car sliding under a truck barreling along a highway, and no fewer than four people doing tricks on motorcycles and jet skis."

Tulsi Gabbard announced "the release of hundreds of thousands of documents related to the 1968 assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. "



"Trump on Monday called for an immediate end to cashless bail and railed against the federal judge overseeing Harvard University's challenge to the Trump administration's withholding billions of federal funds from the school, calling her a "TOTAL DISASTER."

This Epstein thing is just another Trump MAGA self inflicted gun shot wound fueled by their cult like use of conspiracy theories to rev up that MAGA base. Except this time they are being "hoisted by their own petard." You can bet Trump's name is just riddled throughout the Epstein investigation. In what manner, we don't know. Trump does not want this released in any form. Which is kind of why Pam Bondi apparently had 1,000 FBI personnel to comb through tens of thousands of pages of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and flag any mention of President Trump. So no different than defaming sexual assault victims; deflated real estate values for tax purposes and inflating them for loan values; than scheming to steal an election; than obstructing the DOJ in retrieval of classified documents, it's Trump being his own worse enemy. Eventually, I predict you're going to see a pardon or something to that effect from Trump to Ghislaine Maxwell. Yes the party who's all about pedophile ring conspiracies ran by Dems and the powerful out of Pizza shops will have to just eat the pardon of Trump to protect the powerful. Including his self protection. Shame.

Seems to me the whole shebang is a distraction from ICE. Everyone was going on and on about ICE, but now it's Epstein Epstein Epstein.

Take it up with AG Bondi.....she chose when to announce the termination of the Epstein case. I suppose it's possible she was acting under orders from you know who....

There are many people in the Arts and entertainment Industries who would refuse to perform in these renamed venues. People associated with the name changes truly do want to cancel our Great American culture, replacing it with sappy pablum performed by mediocre country singers and retread actors from the 1980s like Chachi. And who would want to go see them? Concerts and plays are expensive and people won't spend money on mediocre Acts.

You’re right. No one was talking about Epstein until the Trump DOJ tried getting out ahead of it and burying the story. Now it’s all everyone wants to talk about. I think they call this the Streisand effect.

He was told that his name appears in Epstein's list multiple times. It doesn't mean that it was for something illegal but why would he fight it so hard if he is innocent?

Which could have intentionally been implemented.

Perhaps to get the inevitable reaction doing so caused.

Remind me who ran a campaign partially on releasing all the files on the guy.

It was the right who created this monster they now can’t control.

This whole Epstein/Trump thing is stupid. Everyone knows for a fact that Trump and Epstein were friends. Everyone has known that for YEARS. Everyone also know that Trump and Epstien ended their relationship in 2009 over Epstein being a creep.

So the fact the Trump's name is associated with him is no news. And there is a number of reasons, which have nothing to do with Trump, as to why the files wouldnt be released.

Including, national security reasons, foreign relations reasons and causing people to be smeared as pedophiles who aren't.

Theee is also the case that if there had been anything in there that was bad for Trump the last administration would have released it.

Yep, it's been quite the attention getter.
Yeah somehow concentration camps and daily abductions just don’t move the needle quite like the president hiding info on his ties to a known and convicted sex offender.

Yes, it creates a more direct fixation on him, while taking pressure off ICE.
