He’s exactly right. Trump needs to get in front of this, not hide from it and support Bondi and Patel.
Release all the info, and let the chips fall where they may. If people are implicated and damaged by the release of the lists of Epstein’s clients, so be it. I don’t care who gets implicated. I want those lists made public. So do many of my fellow citizens. If that means we gut Government, Businesses, and Hollywood (and professional sports), so be it. All for it.
A Cleansing is in order.
Otherwise there will be no continuity in 2028. It will be back to Democrats vs Republicans. The party of Trump will fade into obscurity.
ETA: Read the comment by “Georgiaboy61”. He gets it
Agreed!
The folding of DJT on the issue of Epstein says a number of possible things about the man himself, our government and the rule of law in the U.S.A. – none of them particularly pleasant or positive.
First, if Trump and his top appointees can be made to come into the line like a bunch of trained poodles, then it says that they are not in charge of the government. Someone or something else is steering the ship of state, because it isn’t him or them.
Second, if scenario one above is true, it puts the lie to the notion that the U.S. is in any way, shape or form a representative republic or democracy where the people are sovereign. It looks as if we are in the grip of a deep-state oligarchy – or worse.
Third, if criminality and perversion of this extent and type exists at the highest levels of the government – then there is no saving the system as corrupt and criminal as this. The ruling elites know this, which is why they cannot let the truth be known – they realize as well as anyone that the scandal which resulted would topple the entire rotten edifice.
Fourth, the whole notion of the rule of law is turned into a mockery by this affair, the idea that the rich-and-powerful are subject to the same laws as the rest of us, and the same penalties as ordinary people if they transgress against those same laws.
The ugly reality is that the ruling class can do as it pleases – up to and including human trafficking, rape and murder – without fear of legal repercussions, while the ordinary Joe/Jane Sixpack on the street gets hammered if he crosses the street against the traffic light.
Such a system is not law-and-order; it is mockery of it. It is its absence.
Fifth, it is now quite obvious that the Epstein Affair and others like it were conceived as espionage operations, not mere criminal enterprises. It is likely that one or more foreign powers (such as Israel and the Mossad, and perhaps China and their intelligence services) are involved. By having actionable blackmail material on so many high-level power-players inside the Beltway, whoever is behind this thing has a lock on the government itself.
In simpler terms, the federal government isn’t working for Americans as long as this arrangement is allowed to persist. For this reason alone,whoever s behind this atrocity must be discovered and bought to justice.
These are sound reasons, but in the end, simple human decency demands action. Those who would sacrifice children and underage teens in such an operation have committed an evil that must be punished – severely and without mercy.
Those are just some of the enormous stakes in play because of this ongoing atrocity.
