And, by the way, if Bill Clinton, or anyone else, got a “happy ending” massage from a fourteen year-old girl at Jeffery Epstein’s blackmail emporium, he should face the consequences. That Bubba was the greatest Republican president of the twentieth century doesn’t give him a pass for being a pervert.
But check out the NY Times, not reporting on a story that would have opened an ugly can of worms, a can recently reopened, as Trump was coming down that golden escalator or at any other time. First, a nice illustration of the Grey Lady in action.
Heather Cox Richardson:
In a 2015 email, Epstein gave tips on stories about Trump and girls to then–New York Times financial reporter Landon Thomas Jr. When others asked Thomas for stories, Epstein wrote: “Have them ask my houseman about donad [sic] almost walking through the door leaving his nose print on the glass as young women were swimming in the pool and he was so focused he walked straight into the door.” In another email, Epstein offered “photso [sic] of donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen,” and Thomas urged: “I am serious man—for the good of the nation why not try to get some of this out there.”
But a story revealing this information did not appear in the New York Times before the 2016 presidential election or afterward. . .
. . . Despite how explosive these documents [a trove of creepy email] were, they do not appear to be the end of the story. They came from the Epstein estate, but the files from the FBI investigation into Trump have not yet been released. Whatever is still outstanding appears to be even worse than what we have seen, as evidenced by Trump’s frantic attempts to stop the discharge petition.
With the House back at work, Johnson had little choice but to swear in Grijalva. The ceremony was scheduled for 4:00.
In the hours before that deadline, the president tried to get one of the four Republican representatives who had signed the discharge petition to remove their signature. He appeared to focus on Nancy Mace (R-SC), with whom he tried to connect by phone, and Lauren Boebert (R-CO), whom he invited to meet with him in the White House Situation Room, which is equipped to prevent recording.
“CNN reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI director Kash Patel joined Trump and Boebert at the meeting.”
When asked about the meeting, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters: “Doesn’t that show the level of transparency when we are willing to sit down with members of Congress and address their concerns?” For his part, Trump took to social media to call the released documents an attempt by Democrats to bring up the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” to deflect from “how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects.” He urged “any Republicans involved” to be “focused only on opening up our Country, and fixing the massive damage caused by the Democrats!”
Since then, of course, the criminally insane Dementor-in-Chief ordered his former lawyer and lobbyist for Qatar, Attorney General Pam Bondi, to open an investigation into DEMOCRATS who had connections to pedophile / sex trafficker/ blackmailer/ criminal mastermind Jefferey Epstein, who was found dead in federal detention during Trump’s first term. The loyal AG promptly obliged, appointing another Trump toady to head the investigation.
Now she can self-righteously claim that all the files that she decided didn’t sustain any further criminal investigation, according to her and FBI director Kashyap Patel, must now remain under seal because they are part of an ongoing criminal investigation of any Epstein associate not named Trump. That Trump’s name appears 2,000 times in the 20,000 pages of recently released emails? Hoax. The “Epstein hoax”, “created by Democrats”, according to MAGA-man, apparently was built around a kernel of truth that his DOJ is now determined to get to as they prepare to indict and prosecute the guilty parties.
This is transparent obstruction of justice by Trump, who had his DOJ comb through files that contained his name thousands of times and then close the investigation into Epstein that Biden’s DOJ had initiated. Obstruction of justice is a crime. Trump, as the Unitary Executive, may legally commit crimes as long as he does them in concert with other government officials — exercising his core duties as POTUS (see Trump v. US). As Trump himself famously said: God Bless these United Shayssssssh.
