  • A joint DOJ–FBI memo reaffirmed that no “client list” of high-profile individuals existed and found no evidence Epstein blackmailed anyone.
  • MAGA hardliners (e.g., Alex Jones) and some Trump allies lash out at AG Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, demanding disclosures.
  • President Trump urged supporters to stop attacking his team over “Epstein Files,” calling Epstein “somebody nobody cares about” and insisting his administration is “PERFECT.”
  • Internal friction reportedly flared between Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino (who threatened to quit) and Bondi, though Trump insists DOJ/FBI are united.
  • Trump wants the FBI to refocus on his unproven 2020 election–fraud claims rather than “the same old…documents on Jeffrey Epstein.”

This is what's amazing to me.

He went on the Howard Stern show and boasted about barging into the dressing rooms of the Miss Teen USA pageant, talked about how hot his teenage daughter was, and pushed his way into a softcore Playboy video and none of his voters thought there might be a problem.

He does all the things they want to do as well.

[-] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

He also does the things that many of them do. Trump isn’t the only (child) rapist predator, he’s just the most powerful one.

If conservatives gave a damn about kids and sex crimes, these lists should have caused enough public rage to burn the party to the ground.

It didn't. So republican are unassailably the party of sex offenders and those who support sex offenders.

Crying like a little bitch about it on social media makes me believe the exact opposite of what he says. He was probably customer 0.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 23 points 2 weeks ago

implying the whole thing was his idea, and given his ties to the russian mob and what they do, he maybe got the idea sometime while he was in a hotel room with a hidden camera he didn't know about

[-] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 87 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

What's so funny about this is that Pam Bondi and Trump paraded conservative influencers all around and made them hold up pieces of paper labeled "THE EPSTEIN FILES" and had them all go on their social medias and claim that they read it.

And now they're saying that they don't exist and never existed.

I actually feel bad for their base for how stupid the Trump admin thinks they are

[-] markovs_gun@lemmy.world 62 points 2 weeks ago

I would feel bad for their base for how stupid the Trump admin thinks they are if the admin were actually wrong about that. So far the base has proven them right over and over and over again- they truly are as stupid as the admin thinks they are.

[-] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

It's almost worse than that. I swear, some of them take a perverse pride in being led all around the political landscape like a dog with a shiny red ball. The discussions I've had where people happily and excitedly admit that Trump was completely lying to them and just hungrily accept the new story as undeniable fact is wild and impossible for me to wrap my head around.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago

Their base hasn't done anything to make me think they're not that stupid.

[-] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 63 points 2 weeks ago

Considering neither party seemed to want this info shared I believe we all need to know what was in it.

Two Bills, a Trump, and a prince walk into a beauty pageant dressing room…

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

Two Bills… I had to figure out which of Clinton, Cosby and Gates you were talking about.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago

that would be a spicy leak, if someone did it

[-] theUwUhugger@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

Turns out they aren’t a thing actually! So why does Tramp want us to forget it? Because they made it up and campaigned that they will release it! Biden administrtion already released the court docs, then Trumpo rereleased them except they had the pages redacted where his name&his wifes name was mentioned

What maga people don’t understand is that, when you’re rich, they just let you do it. That is literally the ethos of their patron saint on every level, for his entire life.

conservative podcast dipshits (conpodshits for short) have been bringing up 1984 for years and are short circuiting as their guy does the thing because they think george orwell was talking about communists

[-] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 41 points 2 weeks ago

Love that as soon as his name got attached to Epstein, that he's shifted to damage control and trying to push this narrative that it's been a "radical Left" issue this whole time. And trying to get all his conspiracy people to move on to an election that at this point doesn't matter either way is just full panic.

They filled lawsuits all over the country that they had to withdraw because they had no evidence, yet continue to claim to be ready to release all the "evidence" they have anytime now for years. I think even his Supreme Court is going to find it hard to invent constitution law to back up their conspiracy theories. I would love to see them try though, make it televised, since they are just pissing away tax dollars anyway.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

an election that at this point doesn’t matter either way

It distracts from the one before it and the one after it.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

They don't need to invent law and Roberts et al know it. See, the thing about being on the Supreme Court is that aside from Congress impeaching you, there is no other recourse. Your entire decision could be written as "lol no" and unless Congress decides to impeach you, there's nothing anyone can do about the decision.

Trump is a pedo...

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

[-] Wolf@lemmy.today 23 points 2 weeks ago

Wow, this sure is some in-depth reporting...

Although Trump appears in at least one video alongside Epstein at a party, the president has denied allegations that his name was in the files or that he had any direct connection to the disgraced financier.

"At least" one video, numerous photos, Trump describing Epstein as a 'Terrific guy who he had known for 15 years' and “He’s 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.” Epstein saying he was “Donald’s closest friend for ten years”....

But sure, let's just characterize it as 'They both attended the same party once.'

Well pack it in boys. The convicted criminal thats most likely implicated in a high profile child sex trafficking ring says "stop worrying about this list, there is no list and im certainly not on it"

I for one think we should believe this lying, cheating, gas lighting criminal. Biggest "trust me bro" in history

They have full control of them. Why not just take Trump's name out of them, then release? Seems like an easy way to get the Dems and have some GOP fall guys. Then the game is over.

But then you lose the support of the billionaire pedophile ring. That's the real reason why they will never be released.

On the upside, it's like going to the circus every time when you open Lemmy and this circus doesn't have firebreathers, trapeze artists or lion tamers, it has clowns, only clowns.

Has anyone from Biden's admin come out and refuted Trump's DoJ's statements? They need to be on every conservative outlet that will give them a second of time talking how the documents existed before.
