Another fun day in the never-ending Jeffrey Epstein scandal. For us, that is, not for the Trumpsters.
Speaker Mike Johnson has spoken up at last, saying Pam Bondi needs to 'splain herself. MSM is portraying this as a "major break" from Trump, but in our view, it just means that Mikey has gotten so much pressure from the conspiracy theorists in his caucus that he had to mildly jump into the fight. Still, you've got to know that Trump can't be happy about it.
Wired broke the bombshell story that the raw video from outside Epstein's prison cell actually has nearly three minutes missing, not just one. (But... but... the DOJ said the video was unedited! Gosh!) Obviously, all hell will continue to break loose, but what we're wondering is how a 32-year-old bimonthly tech magazine is running journalistic rings around august news outlets like AP and proud papers like The New York Times and The Washington Post.
Donald keeps getting asked about it, and he responds, and his answers keep getting worse. Today he said of Epstein, "He's dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life. I
don't understand what the fascination is. The credible information has
been given. It's pretty boring stuff." Since everything Trump says is a lie, including the words "and" and "the," we all know for sure now that the full Epstein material is the very, very opposite of boring.
Last night, House Republicans outvoted Democrats on the Rules Committee and managed to smack down any call on the committee for the Epstein files' release. But Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) isn't giving up. He and co-sponsor Ro Khanna (D-CA) are trying to use a discharge petition to force a vote of the full House. Remember, the point is not necessarily whether they'll succeed, although getting every weaselly Republican on record about this would be swell. The point also is to keep the story, unlike Epstein himself, alive.
Even though he keeps stumbling, Trump is still trying to change the subject. Today he accused Senator Adam Schiff of mortgage fraud. Sorry, Donald, but your shiny object isn't going to work. We cats PURR.
