Another liberal voice, propagating the hoax.

Oathkeepers Founder Stewart Rhodes Sounds Alarm on Trump and Epstein​

“It’s really disheartening to see President Trump just declare that to be a hoax. I don’t think it is. And I think it’s going to cause him trouble in his own base. It already is,” he said.

Rhodes argued the president is being influenced by the “deep state” into believing Epstein is a non-story.

“This is the deep state’s dirty laundry in the deep state’s greatest Achilles heel,” he said.

[Wait, that means people saying Epstein is a non-story are the REAL Deep State, and they've influenced the president.]

From the "Water is Wet" subfile within the Epstein files:

Trump was told he is in Epstein files, Wall Street Journal reports​

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi told President Donald Trump in May that his name appeared in investigative files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

The newspaper reported that Bondi and her deputy told Trump at a White House meeting that his name, as well as those of "many other high-profile figures," appeared in the files.

The White House sent mixed signals following the story. It released an initial statement characterizing it as "fake news," but a White House official later told Reuters the administration was not denying that Trump's name appears in some files, noting that Trump was already included in a tranche of materials Bondi assembled in February for conservative influencers.

DOJ meeting with longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell​

The meeting between Deputy Attorney General [and former Trump personal lawyer] Todd Blanche and Maxwell is occurring in downtown Tallahassee at the U.S. attorney's office, which is located inside the federal courthouse, sources familiar with the matter said.

Maxwell's attorneys were also seen entering the federal courthouse in Tallahassee.

"We're looking forward to a productive day," David O. Markus, Maxwell's appellate lawyer, told ABC News.

[Productive? If Trump produces a pardon...]

Separately, on Wednesday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued a subpoena for Maxwell for a deposition to occur at the prison on Aug. 11.

Well, this is awkward....

On Thursday, top Justice Department officials interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein’s.

But just days before, the same department asked the Supreme Court justices to reject her appeal seeking to overturn her conviction for assisting Mr. Epstein’s alleged crimes.

Prosecutors had previously argued in court that Ms. Maxwell had been dishonest in her accounts of her interactions with Mr. Epstein, and she has made it clear that she wants her freedom.

The president's former criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanche, is meeting with Maxwell for a second day. Curiously, her defense attorney was a partner of Blanche's former D.C. law firm.....


The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday is set to interview longtime Epstein associate and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell for a second day. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed Maxwell for roughly five hours Thursday and said the DOJ “will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time.”

Maxwell’s attorney David Oscar Markus said his client answered every question during her Thursday interview with Blanche at a Tallahassee courthouse and expressed gratitude to the federal government for trying to “uncover the truth.”

This is not so much awkward as it is useful.

Maxwell has a penchant for lying under oath when it's beneficial to her.
Todd Blanche was formerly Trump's personal defense attorney.
Todd Blanche is not only Team Trump, but #2 at the DOJ.
It's useful for them to have a chat before she testifies to Congress.

Ghislaine Maxwell received limited immunity during meetings with deputy attorney general: Sources​

We The People offer immunity to the flunkies so we can go after the big fish. Let's see if we go after any big fish.

The immunity allowed Maxwell to freely answer Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's questions without fear that her responses could later be used against her, the sources said.

The so-called proffer immunity is commonly granted to individuals prosecutors are seeking to make cooperators in a criminal case. Maxwell has already been tried, convicted and sentenced for sex trafficking underage girls.

It is almost unheard of for a convicted sex trafficker to meet with such a high-ranking Justice Department official, especially one who used to be the president's top criminal defense attorney.

You don't say!

ABC News asked Maxwell's attorney whether that gave her an incentive to tell Blanche what he wanted to hear.

"No," Markus answered. "She wants to tell the truth."

Ow, my eyes!

But it's so tragic that Trump's "circuses" include treating immigrants like Nero throwing Christians to the lions.

Today's Christians (since the overwhelmingly majority of Hispanic immigrants are Christian) are being thrown into unsafe, unsanitary, deadly prisons like alligator Alcatraz; they are being deported to places like the Sudan--a hotbed of famine and war--as dangerous a situation as the early Christians ever faced.

There is still plenty of "bread" but he stole it out of the mouths of babes and children to give it to billionaires who don't need it.

And Trump's critics? Sued, canceled, silenced. Never forget. Never stop protesting inhumanity and evil.

As a nation we suffer from collective dementia. We're bad at learning and remembering things. So the sad answer is probably not. Depends on who we let write the history books.

Many books will be written Left and Right. Objectivity no longer exists.

Although there is hope when we hear voices from the Left and Right disillusioned by their former "side".
Capacity for self reflection and critique are essential personally as well as nationally.
Why must we always "dig our heels in deeper" and "double down"?

Could is be collective narcissism as well as dementia?

Dan Bongino Promises Jeffrey Epstein Video to Prove ‘No One Was There But Him'​

Click to expand...

Like a well-oiled machine, the edited-not-raw footage released by Bongino with a missing minute may not have a missing minute.

There was no "missing minute" in the original Epstein jail video, government source says​

When the Justice Department and FBI released nearly 11 hours of footage earlier this month, the time code on the screen jumped forward one minute just before midnight, prompting questions about the one-minute gap. The video shows part of the area near the cell where Epstein was being held the night he died in what the medical examiner ruled a suicide.

A government source familiar with the investigation says the FBI, the Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Justice inspector general are all in possession of a copy of the video that does not cut from just before 11:59 p.m. to midnight of the night Epstein died by suicide in his cell.

What is unclear is why that section was missing when the FBI released what it said was raw footage from inside the Special Housing Unit the night Epstein died, Aug. 9-10, 2019.

Attorney General Pam Bondi was questioned about the gap during a July 8 Cabinet meeting with President Trump. She said the missing minute was the result of a nightly reset of the video that caused the recording system to miss one recording minute every night, and attributed that information to the Bureau of Prisons.

One thing that is clear, forensic experts say, is that the version of the recording released by the FBI was edited and not raw, as the government stated. Bondi, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and others have said publicly that the video would be released unaltered.

There were actually a lot of Jan 6th arrests, and a good number of 2020 election arrests, and a few Russian collusion arrests.

But MTG is thinking about these topics from the Bizarro world perspective.

Obviously, the reason most of these things have zero arrests is there were no chargeable crimes.

And yes, it would be helpful if Trump and his stand-ins stopped talking about these things as though they were about to 'get the bad guys'.
