Step One: Johnson shuts down the House early to block a vote on Epstein.
The Big Fix Is In
As step one of the Big Fix, please note House Moves Up Summer Break to Avoid Epstein Vote.
Epstein case: Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut the House down early for the summer on Wednesday to head off Democrats’ calls for votes for greater transparency into the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, the sex offender and former friend of President Trump. The early break was announced as several Republicans on the House Oversight Committee joined Democrats in a motion to subpoena Mr. Epstein’s longtime partner, Ghislaine Maxwell. Read more ›
Ghislaine Maxwell: The Justice Department is seeking to interview Ms. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, but it is not clear how, or when, the department would release any information from it. The highly unusual overture, announced by Mr. Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, was the latest effort by the administration to quell a crisis that has fractured the president’s base
Two federal judges in Manhattan said in similar court orders on Tuesday that they would try to “expeditiously” resolve motions by Attorney General Pam Bondi seeking to unseal grand jury transcripts from the prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
But both judges ordered the government to file legal arguments setting out the “special circumstances” that would justify disclosing the materials, which are shielded by grand jury secrecy.
Stop Talking!
The Circular Blame Game
I Never Said What I Said
The Babylon Bee nails it.
Ghislaine Maxwell Coming Up
It is damningly unusual for the Justice Department to be seeking to interview. Ghislaine Maxwell.
The New York Times commented “The Justice Department is seeking to interview Ms. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, but it is not clear how, or when, the department would release any information from it.”
Reduced Sentence or Pardon Coming Up
The New York Times failed to figure out what’s cookin’. However, I’ll tell you what to expect.
What’s Cookin’ Five Things
- Bondi says that she’s going to interview Ghislaine Maxwell to get more info.
- You know how this works, right? The prisoner gives the prosecutor the testimony he wants to hear and the prisoner gets time off for good behavior and cooperation in “battling crime.”
- In this case, Ms. Maxwell will say, “hey, there’s no client list,” and “gee, I was in charge of passing out girls and I never passed one out to Donald Trump.”
- Presto, whizzo, her sentence will be reduced.
- In due course, at the end of Trump’s term, she will be pardoned. Heck, there are already word about how she’s in danger from fellow prisoners as a result of revival of the “witch hunt.”
Hoot of the Day
“We’re done being lectured on transparency,” said Speaker Johnson as he shuts down the House for recess to avoid transparency.
Never in history have we seen this much time, energy, and lies to hide what allegedly does not even exist.
No one did more to promote the Epstein case than Trump. But suddenly, it never happened.
Something unexpected turned up in the files and it must be hidden at all costs.

After all this hype …. nothing. Then Trump blows up at a reporter for asking a question.
Reader Q&A Addendum
Reader Q: If Trump was involved in any negative way, wouldn’t the Dems have been screaming about this? Wouldn’t Harris’s team or Hillary’s leaked it?
Mish: As logical as your question seems historically, the new question NOW is this: If there is nothing to see, then why are Trump and Johnson taking the actions to hide disclosure?
My question logically supersedes yours.
There is something unexpected in the docs. It could be something about Trump or someone now high up in the administration.
It is certain Trump is shielding someone. That does not necessarily mean DJT but it could be.
If so, then Democrats may have missed an opportunity, for whatever reason, but perhaps they feared some high-ranking Democrats might be exposed as well.
Regardless, it’s guaranteed something that Trump wants to hide, either himself or some ranking Republican.
Addendum Two – More Hoots
From the WSJ
A lawyer for Maxwell, David Oscar Markus, said in a post on X: “I can confirm we are in discussions with the government and that Ghislaine will always testify truthfully. We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case.”
Mish Translation: Ghislaine will say whatever she needs to say to get a reduced sentence or pardon.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R., La.) called for “maximum transparency” but said he wanted to give the Trump administration space to handle the issue.
Maximum transparency with “space”, what a hoot.
I have one question. Democrats (effectively) had unlimited access to the Epstein materiel from 2021 to 2024. If there was incriminating material concerning Trump, why wasn’t it used to get Harris elected?
With that, I will crawl back into my hole.
It’s been underway for years. Can’t let donors take one on the chin.
He’s on the list, and he knows it: https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/23/politics/bondi-trump-epstein-list-files
We know it. Congress knows it. MAGA knows it.
Everybody knows.
Release. The. List.
The elephant in the room. Protect Israel and Mossad!
jooooooooooos! Need more o’s, buddy?
I have a theory: they’re done with Trump. They’ve gotten maximum benefit from him. They need him out of the picture right now as he is going to try for a third term. He will not stand down for the next nominee.
So, they have to decide do they subvert the Constitution for him…or do they remove him?
president pederast will be the legacy of our reality teevee grifter in chief.
I believe that President Trump is shielding some of his donors (not Elon Musk) One way the 2024 federal election campaign was different than 2016 or 2020 was many high tech individuals switched support over to him from the democratic candidate. It seems logical President Trump wants to keep these donors for VP Vance in 2028. Therefore he is foolishly shielding them. It is a strategy which, I believe, will fail. Nevertheless the administration, including speaker Johnson, will attempt it.
Trump doesn’t give a damn about anyone not named Donald Trump. He’s not going to stand aside for Vance; nor would he take this heat for anyone.
He’s predator #1 and we are seeing these drips/photos/reports to lay the groundwork to remove him so he cannot spoil the next run.
A pardon to hide the facts. Hmm. When it come’s to pardons for hiding facts, apparently Hunter’s pardon hasn’t worked out so well, as usual.
The Ds and Rs are both against any Epstein disclosure. Bibi when in DC told Donald not to make disclosure. It’s not that congressmen are on the list. The list is loaded with financial donors to both parties and they are disproportionately Jewish as we know from the lawsuits. Hundreds of millions have been paid off to over 200 girls. Exposing very rich Jewish men who had sex with white Christian girls under age sixteen would enrage voters. It would reveal crimes of the donor class and undermine Israel’s influence machinery.That’s the real scandal.
ObamaGate is a diversion. We already know the Democrats did RussiaGate. Nothing new.
evidence for this? yeah, zero.
The right wing has fantasies that elites are participating in Satanic rituals and molesting children. This is similar to David Berkowitz’s fantasies of a cult ordering him to kill or historical witch hunts. The McMartin school was even put on trial because the children swore that the teachers were flying and participating in Satanic fun.
Although this nonsense is amusing the facts will speak otherwise. The Epstein affair is most likely about an intelligence operation. probably that nasty little colony-Israel. Maybe that is where Satan really resides?
Even so, familiarize yourself with Podesta’s art collection, the spirit parties he held, all the people who pretend all this is normal.
In my language we have an expression which means “murdered innocence” often used to describe the feigning of innocence defending its own lack of guile.
But the depravity behind all this stuff is exactly the same as the record serial killer in the Guinness Book of World Records who lured little girls, then raped and strangled them. Why? “The kick is the look of horrified innocence in their eyes”.
He was actually grabbed by Indian villagers, who wanted to bury him alive (the traditional punishment). An American missionary persuaded them to go to the authorities instead, eventually he got out of jail, and resumed his itinerant “career” path in the village markets in the Peru-Columbia-Bolivia triangle.
The murdered innocence of 17-year-old hookers? Young girls selling favors to fuel drug habits is happening in major cities as I type. The claims of 1000 cases of “murdered innocence” presented by hysterical fanatics is something else.. Most cases of pedophilia are committed by family members not shadowy elites feasting on the sexual favors of innocents while paying homage to Satan.
You seem to have some kind of bias towards deflecting interest in the kind of activities you mock others for being interested in investigating. Care to let us know what’s behind that?
Here’s one possible reason. It’s the under age girls that have asked not to release the client list because they are now in relationships with their wealthy abuser and don’t want to publicly shame them. That’s why none of the victims have come forward in the last few weeks and why the client list will never see the light of day. The young girls, who are now middle aged women, don’t want this exposed.
One girl who accused Trump “committed suicide” a couple years back. Another was in the NY Times this week.
Do you really think Trump gives one damn about them?
The women might value their privacy, but the reason you imply is despicable. Also, Rob’s comment to this is spot on.
Unfortunately in the world where adults live, this is the reality. People are predators and vulnerable victims. You’ll understand when you grow up.
Given the damage Trump has done to our trade relationships, NATO, our formerly good relationship with Canada and Mexico; given Trump’s zeal to annex Greenland or make Canada the 51st state; given his open extortion of Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, and the protection racket Trump’s running out of the White House….The Epstein scandal is lower on my list…but nothing Trump does would surprise me. He’s got a serious boundary problem. If there are photos or videos with Trump and an underage girl, that wouldn’t surprise me.
Check with Putin. I wager he has plenty of such photos, which is why Trump is so deferential to him.
More popcorn please! Num, num, num…
Does anybody know if the birthday card allegedly made by Trump for Epstein that was published in the WSJ had ever been released before?
None of this will matter. By 2030, we will have economic collapse in at least one form due to the current actions of Trump and sycophants. Now *that* matters.
Right, Jeff. It will have absolutely nothing to do with the Fed or the UniParty running Congress.
It will be ALL TACO’s fault. Nobody else will have any level of culpability. Zilch!
Have to agree with you 100% on this one Mish.
Perhaps this compelling evidence is in the hands of hostiles to the US? It could explain why why Trump is destroying so many of our long term relationships with our allies.
Threatening Canada?
50% tariff on copper will cripple our economy!
Threatening Greenland?
Driving our export trade into Chinas hands.
50% tariff on Brazil?
Gutting the SEC and engaging in insider trading…
This entire situation turns my stomach.
Reminds me of Popes protecting pedophile priests…

Perhaps . . . NOT!
Is the Epstein case about
A) protecting powerful people who had sex with minors
B) protecting a blackmail operation run by Mossad,
C) by the CIA,
D) by MI-6
E) all of the above
Answer E
The real subject of Epstein, outside the Overton window of the Mockingbird media and unfortunately Trump, is this: Was Epstein abusing underage girls and blackmailing important people…on behalf of the CIA or Mossad?
It certainly fits with Trump and his appointees turning on an Orwellian dime. Because we live in a world where there is no crime so evil that the CIA and Mossad can’t do it with impunity. I speak literally: Bush/Trump appointee Alexander Acosta swooped in (2007) after the prosecutor had Epstein dead to rights for statutorily raping ~20 fifteenish-year-old girls and gave him the sweetest of sweetheart deals (13 months house arrest roughly, plus immunity for all his confederates). He said he did it because he was told by an unnamed higher-up that “Epstein was Intelligence so leave it alone.” Well alright then. Raping multiple 15 year-old girls is okay if you are doing it on behalf of the CIA.
“B” is actually on top list-me think-to blackmail high ranks billionaires…
So, let me understand this. Trump really did not want to sleep with underage girls but the evil CIA and Mossad and MI-6 forced him to do it ….. and so …… he kinda sorta had to? ….
Note that the only powerful person in question here is Trump. He is the one trying very hard to openly suppress them ……
If there are files with incriminating evidence against our beloved elites, the CIA or FBI could easily alter the files to rid them of any delicate information and presto: files could be released with no issues. So, what’s going on?
Off subject. Mish, I just learned that Oregon has 700k people on the SNAP program, 1.4 million on Medicaid, and blew 700 million on their homeless problem last year. Quite a few counties, cities and the state itself are experiencing budget shortfalls. Oregon might be a good example for you to have a look at for fiscal failure one day. Oregon’s population is 4.272 million. The governor has just called a special session of the legislature in order to find some money. (4.9% unemployment.)
Really, 700K on SNAP but only 4.9% unemployment? Unemployment should be higher given SNAP makes up 14% of the population and at least 10% of the population are in school or retired.
Thanks for some interesting stats.
[ROTFLOL] You should see California’s similar stats! They make Oregon look like nat on the windscreen.
I was in Portland last Fall and I was shocked by the widespread homelessness. Thirty years ago it was a nice city. Now, sorry to say this, but it’s a dump. They don’t even hide it, just take a drive on the Interstate highways and you’ll know what I mean.
Rather than population, perhaps a better datum for analysis would be the number of Oregon taxpayers. 2.2 million. This is rather sobering.
Did Maria Maple have an affair with Donny Deutch, a political commentator on CNN
and MSNBC. Did Trump dumped her, but treats their daughter well. Did Tiffany Trump marry a Lebanese from Houston.
Did Jethro marry Miss Hathaway?
I don’t think Miss Hathaway was the marrying type (in real life).
I reiterate my prior observation that this situation requires a national, nonpartisan blue-ribbon investigation. It will not go away on its own.
The explanation for “why didn’t the Dems hang this on Trump already” is that many people from both parties are trapped. They’d be hanging themselves in the discovery process associated with any legal proceeding against one specific person.
This may be a time when its better to sink the ship to drown the rats, rather than let the plague continue to spread…
A blue ribbon investigation to find the truth. You mean like the Warren Commission? When the Intelligence Communities (especially Mossad) don’t want the truth to be officially proclaimed, it won’t be. They know we know, and they don’t care at all. That’s all the wisdom you’re going to get on this. What are you gonna do about it? Same as I’m gonna do about it. Nothing. It’s the USSA. Crooked to the core. All that FBI “just the facts, ma’am” and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington was just a bunch of bullshit.
There now exists in the US a means-test to determine the legality of fucking minors.
Predictably, CNN (a ‘liberal’ MSM outlet) has been covering this story as front page news the past week.
Currently their top story is: “Photos from 1993 confirm for the first time that Epstein attended Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples. Epstein’s attendance at the ceremony at the Plaza Hotel was not widely known until now.”
Meanwhile, it’s been crickets over at FOX news the last week when it comes to covering Epstein.
so what.
My advice is to avoid Fox News.
I’ve got a feeling Ghislaine will be committing suicide soon.
Not likely with a presidential pardon for services rendered.
Der Sturmer caricatures helped Hitler, but not the infantile dems. One day it might be illegal ” to save our democracy”. Can Trump throw few hate speech idiots legacy
media guys to jail, like Wilson, or to assassinate opponents like the Clintons.
Did JFK kill an opponent who blackmailed him for his affairs with young beautiful girls and for stealing from “US Agency For International Development” (USAID) that he established in 1961, like Hamas. Did LBJ assassinate JFK, before sending half a million guys to Vietnam to cover his blood trail. U guys have no clue who was Lumumba !!!
Hopefully LBJ is roasting in hell between Rumsfeld and McCain.
I think McCain’s running foreign policy from down there.

As my mother used to say, ‘Empty vessels make the most noise’, or in your case write the most drivel!
Hillary looked best in her Chairman Mao outfit; too bad it didn’t have a hood to cover her face.
We know she had sex with at least a couple men: Webb Hubbell and Vince Foster.
She sure don’t light my fire.
remember the judge deternines if grand jury information can be released not DOJ. Individual jury participants have privacy rights that must be honored.
it is always nice when you add in all the information. how about outside of grandjury the data in the “Epstein Files” . what was investigated and when and by whom.
Context is a requirement
The more these bastards keep trying to cover things up, the more it’s NOT going away.
The secret party is at Barbara Streisand’s house.
Eyes Wide Shut?
Even if Trump is all over these “files”, it’s not like the Democrats would be screaming about them. Trump is wholly unqualified to be president. He is unintellectual, unempathetic, narcissistic, and easily swayed by praise and lies. He has built his empire on his father’s money and an outsized ego. He does not understand history, government, the economy, business, family dynamics, personal dynamics, religion, anything other than what the person across the table can do for him right now. Democrats have been screaming about Trump since 2016. That he has been a playboy who associated with reprehensible individuals is not even on the list of why Trump should not be president.
That’s why they tried to oust him.
I wish that they did!
Plenty like u here, on Mish.
Yep, there are quite a few sensible people around here that see what a disaster trump is as president.
So what?
Let me get this straight. MAGAs are surprised that:
* the owner of Ms. Teen USA, who admitted to walking in on naked underage girls changing;
* who was caught on tape admitting to grabbing women by their most private parts;
* who has been adjudicated for committing sexual assault (affirmed on appeal);
* who was “best friends” with Jeffrey Epstein for over a decade during the most heinous sexual trafficking of minors in history;
* who had his first sexual encounter with Melania on Epstein’s “Lolita Express” airplane;
* who has cheated on all of his wives, paid hush money to several women, and engaged in “catch-and-kill” journalism;
* who has been accused of sexual assault by dozens of independent women;
* who said Epstein was a “terrific guy … a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side;” and
* who ordered the FBI to create a fucking spreadsheet—a spreadsheet!!–of all the mentions of him in the Epstein files;
… ya’ll are surprised he’s part of the Epstein teen sex cabal and that he doesn’t want unsanitized Epstein documents released?
“ May every day be another wonderful secret.”
The “y’all” thing – did you work in the public relations department of the CDC 5 years ago?
No one ever accused them of being bright
I’m a lot less bothered by Trump being a perv than I am that he’s Israel’s bitch.
That’s a solid +10! Excellent work.
Love that Trump baby photo! That’s a keeper.
This could be something for the Dems to run with.
“I will release the COMPLETE Epstein files if elected!”
A competant assassin would be sent.
They already had a chance.
Might I suggest they didn’t to protect Bill Clinton?
Bill Clinton always said he was shooting blanks, so he didn’t need protection.
I have trouble believing the Democrats care about protecting Bill Clinton at this point.
From reports, it sounds like Clinton might not make it to the next Presidential election.
You don’t understand. Like Trump, they only have to PROMISE to release the files. They don’t actually have to do it.
It’s like the dog that caught the car. Now what do I do?
My guess is not just Clinton but others maybe still serving on both sides. If ever fully exposed I think we will find this runs much deeper than most would surmise.
Trump: I had sex with many women in the seventies, eighties, nineties… when I was much younger, including in Epstein Island, so what == > while Obama’s coupe attempt trials will be in full steam and the econ will take off. My bet: Trump is setting up the Clintons, bizzare Obama and his gangs, The dems boomerang flies into a trap.
My bet: You’re dumb as shit.
“So what” – yep, who cares that the Great Leader has likely abused underage girls. Maga!

It’s something so specific and bad to this admin that it cannot be released. It is so head-and-shoulder above all the other records of Epstein’s other buddies that it cannot be excused away as “everyone was partying in the same way at the same time”
“Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret”
Also, the evidence is structured in such a way that plucking out one video or photo is not sufficient to erase the evidence
Netanyahu spends three days with Trump and suddenly there are no Epstein files.
Epstein wasn’t just someone Trump met at a dinner party once. They were BFFs in the ‘90s. You have no doubt seen the myriad photos and videos of them partying together with young girls in Palm Beach. And unlike Epstein‘s other co-conspirators, Trump was stupid enough to tell New York magazine that he knew about the young girls . Here is Trump’s quote from that 2002 Landon Thomas piece….
Only Trump could be stupid enough to put that in print.
Years later, the BFF’s had a nasty falling out, supposedly over a real estate deal, of which there is no proof. It’s more highly plausible that Epstein had photos and/or videos of Trump with young girls and blackmailed him. It’s been widely reported that as a pervert, Epstein would surreptitiously record people having sex in his various mansions. Trump probably had to pay him some large sum of money, and you know how Trump hates to spend money.
When Epstein was first arrested for felony prostitution in 2007, he got an amazing sweetheart plea deal from US District Attorney for the Southern District Of Florida Alex Acosta, which allowed him to essentially to get off scott free. Ten years later, when Trump became president, he appointed Acosta to Secretary Of Labor, despite Acosta having zero experience in labor relations. Acosta was forced to resign in 2019, after Democrats pushed him on the Epstein connections. Nah….that doesn’t sound fishy at all!
Was Epstein murdered? Not in the traditional sense. It was widely reported that after his arrest, Epstein was on a constant 24/7/365 suicide watch. Someone (Bill Barr or another), pulled the guards away from Epstein long enough for him to hang himself. DOJ said the CCTV footage of Epstein’s cell was erased by “technical errors.” How convenient. The prison guards also admitted to falsifying records. Then, before the body was even cold, Bill Bahr‘s FBI agents raided Epstein’s house and removed hard drives and DVDs from his safe, which have never been seen since. From Newsweek and The Guardian….
Epstein’s houses were wired with cameras, and the girls testified that he was filming the men having sex with them, and the FBI took a lot of video evidence from his houses. Mossad officer Ari Ben-Menashe explicitly said that Epstein was collecting those videos to use for blackmail.
Ghislaine’s father Robert Maxwell worked for Mossad. Bill Barr’s father Donald had been in the OSS, precursor to the CIA, before he recruited Epstein to teach at the Dalton School. Donald Barr had even written a novel about using underage girls for sexual blackmail.
Epstein’s sudden rise to extreme wealth occurred without any particular skills, or even a college degree.
Epstein was a pimp, an FBI and Mossad agent. He didn’t even finish college. Who cares. Donald Barr wrote a book. So what. If Trump DOJ can prove that Obama gang tried to oust Trump, to save our democracy….the reps will rule for years.
“Q: If Trump was involved in any negative way, wouldn’t the Dems have been screaming about this? Wouldn’t Harris’s team or Hillary’s leaked it?”
A: Perhaps the Dems have a few skeletons in that closet too. That moves any decision out on the risk and volatility curve. It gives them an incentive to have behaved as Trump is behaving. But now, they might calculate, maybe, they will at long last bag the elephant.
No doubt bigwigs in both parties were involved. The Dems know there is no way Trump is going to release anything, so they can act holier than thou all they want. But the American people no longer have the integrity to hold the people they vote for accountable, so it really doesn’t matter.

I’ve closely followed the Epstein saga for at least 15 years. Maybe 20 as I believe I was aware of it before his 2006 plea deal. I don’t know why everyone believes that DOJ files or any other files contain any seriously damaging information. If such information exists-and I believe that it does- it would be safely in the hands of Intelligence services- the Mossad, maybe MI6 and the CIA-for their Moneypot honeytrap operations- just like Trump’s mentor Roy Cohn did for a couple of decades before his death from AIDS in 1986.
When this little staged drama is resolved, I would guess Bondi will release the files and they will result in a big nothingburger. This is all staged. A big drama, a slight of hand, just another deception to keep the masses fooled and distracted and focusing on irrelevant issues to prevent the sheeple from addressing and focusing on the real problems in America.
But we’ve never heard of this leather book before, eh?
Gigi tragic life: Gigi pops, Sir Maxwell, a companies raider, a Jewish guy, might have been a Mossad agent, killed by….
Yep. It’s the rich protecting the rich. Nothing more.
The only way this list or any other salacious information sees the light of day is if somebody the likes of an Assange or a Snowden gets theirs hands on it and releases it.
Wow, I see it differently. The Epstein Files are not being released because they offer persuasive power over some powerful people. This is stuff too valuable in the world of dirty politics to just release.
Good point.
Why would it be so hard to believe that rich, powerful old men wanted to have sex with 14 year old girls and needed a sneaky facilitator to make it happen and then make it go away? Sounds more plausible than anything they came up with for the Kennedy assassination.
Actually they dont even have to be all that rich and all that powerful. There are plenty of average guys that want sex with 14 year girls, and would be floored to find out there was a way to get what you wanted and get away with it. The only people who would give a damn would be the parents of the 14 year old girls. But in the emerging feudal society we are becoming, the Lord gets what the Lord wants.
“First Night Rights”
“There are plenty of average guys that…”
If that’s true then Vlad should incinerate this country immediately. Don’t look back, you’ll turn into a pillar of salt.
Bibi and Trump’s in-laws are very tight, long before Trump and Ivanka came along.
Barry-O on deck.
Why did they convict her and never ask who the clients were? Who was she trafficking these girls TO?
In a plea deal, they would require that she waive her right to silence and be completely forthcoming, including, cooperating in prosecutions. But she kept her silence and was convicted, right? So she has all those cards in hand. And she will not hand any over lightly. I suspect she has a very sharp sense of the value and power of whatever she might say, one way or another.
Trump, Epstien, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates…
Gist of your piece is about right. A minor quibble. Seems silly to blame unions for the cost of US manufacturing given that unionized manufacturing labor accounts for about 8% of total manufacturing payrolls, and most US manufacturing isn’t even all that labor intensive today given automation. A quibble. Doesn’t alter your point.
The most compromised president and CONgress in history.
Trump is a disgrace to everything America stands for!
His sycophants should be exposed as the charlatans they are…
Disgusting!
Frosty, how exactly is TACO “compromised”?

If he’s all over the Epstein files in some really bad way(s), Biden would have used it against him.
Nice try.

Crickets Mish on Barry O, the Irish prankster and his merry band of evil nit wits Brennan, Clapper and Comey et al. Including of course Killary. Golly jee, it wasn’t a seditious conspiracy, it was just fun and games! Maybe you would lose readers since TDS apparently pays judging from most threads.
Another pedo.
Sounds like projection.
Worse than that is the fact that our president is a pervert and needs congress to help Trump hide from his criminal activity!
The fact that his sycophants in CONgress are now all implicated in the cover-up!
Obama was a pervert?
What I want is a list of WHO is being “serviced” in the videos. Somebody must have gone through the videos and noted this info.
Keeping this info secret allows the blackmail to continue.
Leon Black / JPM well-documented. Is Jamie Dimon going to The Big House.
Reader Q&A Addendum
Reader Q: If Trump was involved in any negative way, wouldn’t the Dems have been screaming about this? Wouldn’t Harris’s team or Hillary’s leaked it?
Mish: As logical as your question seems historically, the new question NOW is this: If there is nothing to see, then why are Trump and Johnson taking the actions to hide disclosure?
My question logically supersedes yours.
There is something unexpected in the docs. It could be something about Trump or someone now high up in the administration.
It is certain Trump is shielding someone. That does not necessarily mean DJT but it could be.
If so, then Democrats may have missed an opportunity, for whatever reason, but perhaps they feared some high ranking Democrats might be exposed as well.
Regardless, it’s guaranteed something that Trump wants to hide, either himself or some ranking Republican.
Dems don’t get to make that call, only CIA and Mossad do.
Mossad has priority…
I think Trump, Kash and Bondino honestly wanted to release the files, and that DJT didn’t commit any underage sex crimes with Epstein (he threw him out of Mar A Lago). But Bibi read him the riot act (probably using other blackmail material he and Mossad undoubtedly have) and told him to stop. So they caved in.
Similarly I’m sure they have something on Mike Johnson. It must be bad given that he is burning down the Republicans’ entire reputations and chances for 2026.
There is only one person Trump cares about enough to take this much heat to shield: Trump.
There is only one thing that trumps all considerations and continually so
ISRAEL
Beyond that, it will reveal the two-tier justice system, how the rule of law is thwarted by the highest officers of that law, and the depraved evil nature of the ruling class.
