The Felon Lashes Out at Republicans” Demanding Release of Epstein Files

For someone who claims to be innocent of any wrong doing in the context of the Epstein files, the Felon sure is acting very guilty and like someone who has a great deal to hide. Plus, there are reports his name appears in the recently released Epstein emails over 1600 times. Perhaps more dangerous for the nation, he seems desperate to generate distractions to get the media reporting on other stories. The Felon has order the Department of Justice to investigate Democrats even though former prosecutors found no basis for any charges. Perhaps most dangerously, the Felon may well be on the verge of launching a poorly thought out war on Venezuela, allegedly because of drug trafficking, but truth be told, it's all about distracting the media and the public.  Such military action would cost lives - possibly some American lives - not that the Felon cares as demonstrated by the strikes against fishing boats where no proof of drug smuggling has been provided. As for Republicans pushing for the release of the Epstein files, the Felon is downright apoplectic and hash lashed out at Marjorie Taylor Green and Thomas Massie among others.  A piece at Salon looks at the Felon's growing desperation.  Here are excerpts:

President Donald Trump [The Felon] is continuing to distance himself from the fallout of the latest release of Jeffrey Epstein‘s emails, blaming Democrats and criticizing Republicans calling for a full release of the Epstein files.

Trump took to Truth Social today to vent his frustration, calling his involvement with Epstein a “hoax.”

“Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat’s problem, not the Republican’s problem,” Trump wrote. “Some Weak Republicans have fallen into their clutches because they are soft and foolish,” he said, calling out members of his own party.

Republicans are indeed breaking ranks to join a bipartisan bill demanding the release of the Epstein files. The effort, led by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Rep. Ro Khana, D-Calif., is gaining traction, so much so that House Speaker Mike Johnson has promised that it will be voted on “next week.”

Massie said that the bill faces an uncertain future, requiring two-thirds of the House to vote in favor to prevent a veto from Trump.

“But if we are somehow able to get two-thirds vote here in the House, that puts a lot of pressure on the Senate, and also, if the Senate does pass it, that’s a very serious step for the president,” Massie told CNN. 

A senior White House official, speaking with CNN, said that Trump and Johnson met and discussed the looming vote before the speaker’s announcement on Wednesday.  “It was made clear to President Trump, and he understands that this is an inevitable reality,” the official said.   

Still, Trump is on the defensive, saying that “Democrats, not Republicans,” are the ones who are involved with Epstein, and calling for an investigation into influential Democrats.  “I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people,” a Thursday post on Truth Social read. 

“This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats,” Trump said.   

Again, if the Felon is totally innocent, why the desperation to keep the Epstein files from being released?   I believe we know the answer: the Felon is NOT innocent.
