The Epstein File

And we’re supposed to believe that Obama, Comey, and Biden made them all up and then didn’t even release them.
All while it was Trump’s Labor Secretary that gave Epstein the sweetheart deal in FL when he was US Attorney there, and Trump’s own DoJ who re arrested him and held him while he killed himself during that minute of tape outage.

"killed himself during the minute of tape outage" is a rhetorical flourish straight out of nutty conspiracy theory land. Well, most of that post is, but that part especially. Granted, Trump's hand wave about what Obama and Comey did was reflexive conspiracy theory stuff too. But the clincher has always been that Biden didn't release anything about Trump. And I don't give any reasonable credence to the notion that there are yet more powerful forces at play which forbid the release, and I don't buy any mutually assured destruction theory, preventing any release of any bit of the files. Occam is still firmly in the camp that there are no juicy, incriminating files, and that the existence of these files is a tribal conspiracy hallucination used mostly by Maga to get Trump elected.

So now they do exist. Schrödinger’s Epstein files.
I know all politicians stretch the truth, or spin, but man what a relief it would be to get back to the pre-Trump days of political spin where it was like 99% truth and cherry-picked facts that were at least... facts. This moron says whatever self-convinced reality is in his head at the time of saying it.

Word on the street is that Bongino is upset with Bondi because of her posturing that there were so many juicy files that she would be releasing. That put Bongino and the FBI in the awkward position of looking like they’re covering something up, now that the inevitable choice to shut up has been made, lacking the actual files to put up.
Education is extremely important.

Just like yesterday he maintained he had Putin pegged all along. More like Putin had him pegged as a foolish chump from day one and has continued to play him as one to the present. I don’t anticipate that to change.

Forgive me if I'm being rather simplistic and superficial, but I'm left with the distinct impression that Trump's cabinet are a bunch of clueless fucking morons.
I was only joking

Give him a little credit - I'm sure they were at least 15.

Bondi was probably hoping there was more of a there there, and she was playing into the reality TV administration. Got over her skis. Yes the reality TV stuff is all dumb.

If we didn't want a reality TV President, we probably shouldn't have voted for a reality TV personality.

This is smart. I know it is fracturing his base to some extent (not sure how much), but if you take it for granted that there is no there there with the Epstein Files, it's smart to goad his enemies into going full conspiracy theorist and making fools of themselves.

I didn’t think there were any dramatic revelations here before all this. But now Trump has been saying that all the Epstein files are written by his political opponents.
That part is weird - why make that point?
He’s not saying there’s no there there. He’s not saying we actually have no proof of Epstein doing anything bad.
He’s saying that the files have political slander in them.
I’m not sure what part is smart - that he’ll eventual reveal that there’s no evidence of wrongdoing against Epstein?
