James Comey reportedly is being investigated for possibly lying to Congress during testimony in 2020 about whether he authorized a leak of information.
I’d take it a step further and say the Epstein files themselves are the distraction from all the brazen corrupt power grabbing Republicans are pulling right now. What would the release of the full, unredacted files even accomplish at this point? Sane people will feel even more justified in their hate of the admin, and the cultists will write it off as fake news. There is zero chance Congress impeaches and convicts, even if it comes out Trump was spending his time on the island literally sacrificing children to Satan.
If releasing the files wasn’t likely to have an impact, they’d have been released by now.
For even some of the most diehard MAGA folks, diddling kids is a step too far.
Of course there’s a likelihood that the sheer number of folks involved would mean a huge amount of current and prominent politicians would have to go and that would almost certainly amount to what could best be described as a “reset” of the current political system and, well, maybe that’s the real reason they haven’t been released because neither side wants that, even though it’s painfully obvious that the system is broken and needs it.
If the files themselves have become the distraction, then of course they haven’t been released. MAGA folks say diddling kids would be a step too far, but they won’t acknowledge it, no matter how concrete the evidence. Saying they believe one thing while their actions prove another is their whole MO. Take, for example, how they say they only oppose illegal immigration while also making it harder to be here legally (and now arrest people who are here legally anyway), or how they claim to be Christians who support the sick and poor, while gutting every program designed to fill those needs.
I don’t see what mechanism would be activated to get Trump removed, let alone enough other politicians that it would constitute a “reset.” It’d be far better for the rest of us with functional brains to be discussing the latest constitutional violations and corruption, like how Tom Homan took a blatant $50,000 bribe and isn’t being prosecuted because he has the magic R, or how the FCC is allowing anticompetitive corporate actions to go unchallenged (Intel and Nvidia’s newly announced partnership, Paramount paying Trump $16 million to get their merger with Skydance approved), and on and on. These are important stories that can keep people motivated to organize, to talk to each other, and to take real action. Not repeatedly filling every comment section with the exact same words.
Another concern is that the people likely to be implicated in those files are the same ones in charge of them, so the only way they could ever come out is in a state that is either heavily redacted or outright edited to replace the names of loyal Republicans with those of political opponents, and that means spending all this time specifically calling for the files is going to backfire if it ever does happen. We can already say with confidence Trump is likely a pedophile. He was good friends with Epstein, we have creepy correspondence between the two, we have fucking photos of them together, we have so many people coming out to say they were there, they were abused. MAGAs say they wouldn’t support a pedophile, but they’ll never believe Their Guy could be one. The evidence already exists! These are the type of people who called COVID a hoax even as they lay dying in their hospital beds.
I dunno, it’s not like Trump’s connection to Epstein should be forgotten about, but calls specifically for the files in every fucking comment section aren’t helping. Honestly, if you still really want to spam every comment section with it, just directly call him a pedo. It’s already clear, and we don’t need the files for that.
I agree apart from it being something that could absolutely destroy his freedom. This issue is getting buried because it is clearly something they know is a public fulcrum. So while they can and should be doing other things in parallel, this singular thing that they claimed would be a priority upon capturing the presidency obviously threatens the entire administration and beyond. It’s more important than most things the keep throwing out there.
Comey can get fucked, and so can everyone who was involved in pedo island.
