Democrats’ Sudden Obsession With Jeffrey Epstein Is An Opportunistic Ploy To Bash Trump
Mark Hemingway


Matt Taibbi recently flagged this choice tidbit from a New York Times story attempting to downplay damning new revelations about the Russiagate hoax from Trump’s first term: “The administration is trying to distract supporters who are angry about its broken promise to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.”

There’s no evidence whatsoever this is the reason why the Trump administration is trying to hold people accountable for falsely accusing the president of colluding with Russia. Trump is rightly angered that his first term was derailed by manufactured accusations of treasonous collusion. His current FBI director, Kash Patel, was involved in unraveling the bogus Russia claims as they were being made and has been warning of a conspiracy against Trump emanating from the FBI and CIA for years — and nearly all of Patel’s warnings have been subsequently validated.

Even without digging through the particulars of the latest Russiagate revelations, since when has it been a respectable journalistic practice to make unsupported assertions that are little more than Democrat Party talking points? Well, major media organizations have been behaving this way ever since I can remember, but the point about it being bad journalism still stands.

Trump did this to himself. He and virtually everyone in his campaign promised that these files would be released and then he turns around and denies they even exist.

Worse, he tried to gaslight us into accepting his narrative that Epstein was suddenly old news.

He own-goaled himself for the other team. Of course they should run with it!

JD Vance and other pedophile protection party officials are holding an emergency meeting tonight over their strategy on the Epstein files. This cover-up is a disgrace to Epstein’s victims. The American people deserve transparency and accountability.
Release the Epstein files.

@grok how many tweets did Ilhan make concerning Epstein in the last 10 years prior to 2025.......and how may about Epstein's victims? If none, why would you think she would be so quiet and now suddenly outraged?

@grok
Based on X search, Ilhan Omar posted zero tweets mentioning Epstein or his victims from 2015-2024.
Her sudden outrage in 2025 aligns with political timing: Democrats are pushing file releases to target the Trump-Vance admin, amid reports of GOP strategy meetings on Epstein docs. Transparency should be non-partisan, but this smells like opportunism.

Democrat judges are prohibiting release of Grand Jury transcripts. Somehow, I doubt the Democrats really want this guy's secrets out.

Judge denies DOJ request to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury transcripts in Florida
Trump had directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release “any and all pertinent" grand jury documents as pressure continues to mount on the administration over Epstein.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Florida ruled Wednesday that the court's "hands are tied" in releasing federal grand jury transcripts from 2005 and 2007 in connection with an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

The ruling was separate from a request the Justice Department has pending related to a grand jury in the Southern District of New York, where Epstein was ultimately indicted. Epstein died in 2019 while he awaited trial in New York. An accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted in 2021 and is serving a 20-year sentence.

In the Florida case, U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg said that, though the government believes special circumstances exist and the policy reasons for grand jury secrecy have expired, its rationales "are no exceptions" to grand jury secrecy. ...

Robin L. Rosenberg is a U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida, appointed by President Barack Obama in 2014.
