Trump now calling on Republicans to release the Epstein files - although he had little choice tbf, the vote in the House of Representatives is almost certainly go in favour of it ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgv653v1vjo However, the cynic in me wonders whether the Senate will go the same way - if they don't then the full release is still blocked - Trump's stance at that stage will be quite telling IMHO ... arm's wide 'nothing to hide' so release them - fair play ... mumbling about closing it down because it's distracting everyone from what really matters, tariffs etc ... hmmm...
I read over the weekend that the reason he has asked the DOJ and FBI to look at Clinton and the others with regards to the Epstein files, is that when this discharge partition reaches his desk, he can refuse to release them as it’s now an active investigation.
Whilst, admittedly, I am an absolute, unapologetic, cynic, when it comes down to the actions of Powerful men (Politicians / leaders in particular) ... nothing at all would actually surprise me as to the lengths and machinations they will go to to retain positions, power and influence... I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any strech, indeed I often can't help a wry smile at some of the more bizarre propositions - but it's rather unfortunate, isn't it, that both Epstein and Virginia Giuffre aren't around to provide full and frank context to some of the detail and transcripts now coming out ...and Ghislaine Maxwell will obviously sell her tits for a Presidential pardon - and the US political system is so FUBAR that it won't come as that much of a surprise to anyone if she ends up with one ... be interesting if she's ever asked to explain what her take on "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump." really means... End of cynical observation...
