Epstein: Secrets, Lies and Videotape
After Donald Trump embarrassed himself by berating a reporter with “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” it seemed likely that he would flip flop and say something to encourage his now disappointed base. But he did nothing of the sort. Instead, he took to Truth Social Media and produced an unfathomable rant.
The post deserves to be quoted extensively. “What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’ They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and ‘selfish people’ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein.” Trump proclaimed. “For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 ‘Intelligence’ Agents, ‘THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,’ and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files?”
Where do we begin to analyze such verbal legerdemain? We have come to expect the absurd boasts, and having a “PERFECT administration” fits in nicely with having the “strongest economy in history” and “most secure border in history.” Is the line about Epstein never dying an inside baseball remark, alluding to the fact that he is alive, as many believe? Trump now accuses Obama, Hillary, and the Biden administration of creating the Epstein files. If he believes that such things as Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” are more important, then why isn’t it being investigated by his Justice Department? He asks why the leftist “lunatics” didn’t release the “Epstein Files.” Which, of course, he, his attorney general, and the director of the FBI claim doesn’t exist. Trump insists that the FBI should be focused on investigating voter fraud, political corruption, and arresting “thugs and criminals.”
So, did Trump order Kash Patel and/or Pam Bondi to investigate voter fraud, particularly the dubious 2020 election? Who has been deposed? Who has been arrested? Why aren’t Comey and Hillary, at least, being prosecuted for “Russia! Russia! Russia!?” What Trump’s delusional, surrealist statement comes down to is a ridiculous defense of not investigating those who abused the young girls being trafficked by Epstein. Trumpenstein the actor is now being forced to play an even more buffoonish character, one who seemingly has zero awareness of how the MAGA faithful are viewing his recent statements, and his administration’s glaring acquiescence to that swamp he once promised to drain. He knows that we know he knows that he’s lying. He isn’t planning on looking into Hunter’s laptop any more than he is in reinvestigating 9/11 of the JFK assassination. Remember, not long ago, he revealed that he’d always thought Oswald acted alone. As he released the JFK files.
The “National Security State” requires as little information as possible be shared with the unwashed masses. Going back to the Nixon days, there have been constant battles about insiders “leaking” information. Yes, we cannot have the public learning about what we’re really doing. And so everyone in Washington, D.C. hates “leakers” as much as they hate whistleblowers. At least a few officials have dared to suggest t
