The top Democrat on the House committee investigating the Jeffrey Epstein case said that the estate of the convicted sex offender will turn over a book that reportedly contains an explicit 2003 birthday message from Trump to Epstein.

Timeline is clear: Once Trump knew his name was in those files he freaked out.
That's when the coverup commenced in earnest and Maxwell was brought in as a character witness for Trump.
Absent access to the information, we are free to draw negative conclusions from that behavior.
If Trump's name is in files about a child abusing sex trafficker ...
And Trump's alibi after sequestering the docs is the word of another child abusing sex trafficker ...
But the docs he controls remain out of sight ...
Yup, it's bad.
Real bad.
Boy, have you sad sack MAGAts ever been played for fools.

Doesn't matter. Trump is going nowhere.

GOP Congress and Trump SCOTUS will see to that.

@#3 ... GOP Congress and Trump SCOTUS will see to that. ...

Yup.

The GOP has lost its backbone.

imo, Cowards, all of 'em.

Hopefully, their constituents will hold their feet to the fire.

If not, imo, we, as a Country, are screwed.

The Epstein files ARE the distraction. The whole "Trump is implicated in the Epstein files" is a wild goose chase intended to distract the public from far worse things that are going on RIGHT NOW.

I have a differing view.

The Epstein Files are not the distraction.

They are a significant part of the major problem we, the US, now face.

And what might that problem be?

Perhaps, a convicted criminal in the Oval Office trying to (and maybe even succeeding?) to become a dictator?
