The Epstein File
-
I recall a time not so long ago either, when the Trump tribe demanded the files be made public in order to prove that Epstein’s alleged suicide was, in fact, a mob style hit. The third party behind said hit being of course, “the Clintons” and presumably others in the sinister DNC.
We have now learned that that suspicion was nothing but coffee and doughnut shop gossip. A malicious conspiracy theory.

Can't speak for anybody else, but I've never been a Epstein files hawk. I continue to believe that if there was a there there, it would have been capitalized on, through official legal channels or otherwise, in the Biden administration. But now that the Trump administration is at the helm, it's all about the coverup and the redactions. While those redactions missed Lutnick, a chief right hand man. Non-disprovable theories satisfying confirmation bias are so much fun.
I would like to know what they're talking about with all the references to pizza and jerky though. I don't guess the answer lies within the files.

You make it sound like this was all a big TDS-fueled initiative. Trump and his circle did this to themselves by obsessing about it for years and promising the full reveal. This was less than a year ago after all:

It was an obvious political move, and it helped get them into power. There may even have been hopeful intentions behind it, that there would be juicy, politically useful stuff to prosecute or at least publicize in the files. I doubt Kash Patel or Pam Bondi were intimately familiar with what was in the files before they were installed in their positions. Doesn't seem to be much mysterious about any of this. Except the pizza and jerky. I also keep in mind that claiming to be an Epstein victim is big business, and those claimants have become rich, on sometimes very weak evidence. They have not named any names, for whatever reason. Except Guiffre, who is particularly unreliable. (I believe the stories about the ex-prince, but I find the Dershowitz allegations less convincing.)

Wow. Does he thing he’s helping Trump????
It’s not the headline above but in the video Lutnick says he and Epstein were a ‘one and done’. He says he met him once and immediately recognized this guy was a pervert and stayed away.
Files say differently.

Now that President Clinton and Sec. Clinton (who I don't think was ever mentioned in the files) have testified, do you think that the commission will call on President Trump and his wife to testify also?

No but I’m sure come 2029 the house will appreciate the precedent having been set.
Melania better start practicing her English.

Video of the appearances of President Clinton and Sec. Clinton. If you have 9 hours to kill, you can watch them both.
Former President Bill Clinton told lawmakers that President Donald Trump told him he had "some great times" with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein before their relationship soured, according to a video released on Monday.
In a videotaped deposition to the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, the former Democratic president said under oath that Trump brought up Epstein at a golf tournament in 2002 or 2003, after Clinton left office and more than a decade before Trump was elected president.
"Somehow he knew I had flown in Jeffrey Epstein's aircraft," Clinton told the committee. "He said, 'You know, we had some great times together over the years, but we fell out all because of a real estate deal.'"
