Some Republicans Aren't Backing Down from Epstein Transparency Push

Monday, July 28, 2025

While some Republicans are falling in line with President Trump and making calls to move on, others are defying leadership and joining in with Democrats by continuing to criticize the administration's handling of the case.

Republicans just blocked an amendment to require the release of the Epstein files. Wonder why.

Don't worry--almost all will back down. They would rather face voters and explain away their orange god's predilections toward teen girls than criticize said fat, orange golf cheat and face the prospect of being 'primaried'...

#1. And the age old question, why didn't Biden release them?

Why not indeed if the Democrats, as Trump said, created this entire "hoax"! LMAO!
Better question, how come all the Democrats are for releasing all the files and the Republicans aren't?
I want it all out there, but redactions to all victim names using instead "victim 1" "victim 2", etc.
I want ever perps name visible. I don't care who they are.

They we sealed until January of 2024 by a court order.

Trump ran on releasing them and now he won't. In fact, he's considering pardoning a sex trafficker to save his orange skin.

If it's a hoax what is Maxwell in prison for?

And why was Epstein murdered in prison?

You have been told why over and over why. But apparently you are just too busy evil and stupid to understand why someone would actually respect the separation of powers, not interfere in ongoing investigations and not promote conspiracy theories and actually follow the not only the LETTER of the Law but the INTENT of the Law.

No Hoax. Trump ------ LITTLE KIDS. Raped, actually.

Now he's Supreme Leader. UNTOUCHABLE. SCOTUS said so.

America has gone full Pedo.

Trump corrupts everything.

What's Next? Genocide?, World War?

Israel is Imposing their Values on Americans.

TRUMP is a Zionazi, with Bibi.

Bibi will call the shots when it counts.

Genocide is just a symptom.

Nah, that's only liberal hollyweird and progressive LBGTQ trans people.

Actually, when Epstein showed his true colors, Trump kicked him out of Maralargo.

After enjoying the pleasures of his "true colors" for over ten years.

I will agree, Trump just needs to put this to rest and release everything the government knows. If his name is there, then so be it, he will have to answer for whatever is there.

Just my opinion though.

Bondi's already confirmed his name is in there. That's a given.

That's not the question. The question is why is he deflecting, screaming, crying, and working with the one still living convicted pedophile, groomer, and trafficker holding out a pardon to her? Sure screams he's guilty of something.

If it was me and I knew I wasn't guilty I'd be getting that stuff out ASAP!

You actually expect us to believe
Epstein never showed his true colors
at Epstein Island
during Trump's many visits.

You don't even believe that.

For poaching Mar-a-Lago employees. Not for being a sexual predator.

The ignorant think Americas founders all were ideological clones.
