Folks?
I do NOT care what the US Attorney General said….
There IS a file that people want know what in it…..
ALL of It….
There MOST probably IS stuff in it that the US President does NOT want the public to know…..
Sooner or later?
We will find out what it is…..
This episode, just 6 months into the Trump 2.0 run, IS beginning to cause a ‘riff’ in the base that was eventually going happen with a President who REALLY is a political party of just ONE…..
(Making Democrats hopeful?)
And?
HAS awaking some in Congress to the fact that they have been giving AWAY their own power, along with Alito’s court to ole man that seems to NOT really be running the country in any coherent manner that even they though wa coming….
Brian Stelter: “Here’s the thing about conspiracy theories. People liken them to fires — you’ll hear folks saying that MAGA media is ‘fanning the flames’ of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal — but that’s not quite right. Fires can be extinguished. Conspiracy theories are more like nuclear fallout. You can try to decontaminate the area, try to minimize exposure, but the radioactivity lingers for decades. It doesn’t go away.”
“And so it goes with the Epstein obsession among Trump’s media allies. While Fox News has taken his plea seriously to stop talking about the dead sex offender, many other MAGA media sources are pressing on, recognizing that the audiences they’ve built on conspiratorial thinking are simply demanding more, more, more.”

In the past few weeks, Ms. Greene and other right-wing Republicans have criticized the administration’s bellicose stance on Iran, the president’s reversal on supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia and the Justice Department’s pivot on the Epstein matter. They have suggested that on each issue, Mr. Trump has betrayed the voters who elected him.
“I don’t accept it, and I don’t think anyone else should accept it,” Ms. Greene said of the decision not to release more information about Mr. Epstein. “I just think that it’s a punch in the gut when regular people go to jail all the time, when they mess up and do something wrong, and then it always seems the rich, powerful elites escape.”
The president said Tuesday that he trusted Attorney General Pam Bondi’s judgment and that only “credible” information should be released. He later called the Epstein inquiry “boring.”
It was also not the first time in recent weeks that Democrats found themselves nodding along with Republicans they revile who are indignant about positions Mr. Trump and his administration have taken.
As the Senate debated Mr. Trump’s sweeping domestic policy measure, Senator Josh Hawley, Republican of Missouri, over and over again expressed existential concerns about its deep cuts to Medicaid, eventually issuing an indictment of the bill that made for better campaign ad copy than Democrats could have written for themselves.
“We cannot be a working-class party if you are taking away health care for working-class people,” he said. (Mr. Hawley ultimately voted for the legislation, but on Tuesday introduced legislation to repeal the Medicaid cuts he had voted for.)
Ms. Greene and others, like Representative Eli Crane of Arizona, have also condemned Mr. Trump’s reversal on aiding Ukraine in its fight against Russia, a decision that they also said ran directly counter to campaign promises he and other Republicans made to end U.S. entanglement in foreign conflicts.
It’s a recognizable dynamic in Washington, where intraparty feuds can reach a boil once a new president settles in and notches a few wins. In Mr. Trump’s case, that dynamic is exacerbated by the fact that he entered office as a lame duck, while many of his allies in Congress will face voters in just 16 months….
…
Some G.O.P. lawmakers, after spending much of the past six months ceding power to the White House, are now trying to carve a path where they can remain loyal to Mr. Trump while distancing themselves from the major decisions he has made.
“We’re about to arm people we have literally no control over,” Stephen K. Bannon, the Trump adviser turned influential podcast host, said on his show, speaking of Mr. Trump’s decision to speed weapons to Ukraine. “This is old-fashioned, grinding war in the blood lands of Europe — and we’re being dragged into it.”
But no issue has struck a chord as elemental as the issue of the Epstein files….
…
Representative Marc Veasey, Democrat of Texas, who introduced a separate resolution calling for the immediate release of all unclassified documents, said that Democrats wanted to know what was in those files as much as people in Mr. Trump’s MAGA movement did. “The president makes these claims, and people want to make sure children aren’t being abused,” he said….
Have Democrats found something to agree with MAGA Republicans AGAINST Donald?
Trump is now insulting his supporters on Truth Social over this. He is calling them “weaklings” and saying he no longer wants their support.
Textbook behavior of what an abuser does to try to remain in control over their victim.
