It's interesting to see who in this thread is defending the Trump admin narrative. Somehow not surprising.
Former CIA Agent: Deep State Likely Destroyed the Epstein Files
Strong evidence suggests that Epstein was part of a sex blackmail operation tied to intelligence agencies. Visitor logs show that William Burns, who served as CIA Director under President Biden, visited Epstein’s New York townhouse multiple times. The Wall Street Journal reported those visits in 2023 based on Epstein’s private calendar. In 2017, Alex Acosta, the Justice Department official who gave Epstein his 2008 plea deal, told Trump transition officials that he was told to back off Epstein because he “belonged to intelligence.” The Justice Department later admitted that all eleven months of Acosta’s emails from that period had disappeared.
This failure to follow through seriously undermines Trump’s explicit commitments to reform and shine light on the deep state. This is not just about Epstein. The Trump administration has not been particularly transparent about much else. The CIA, to its credit, released an internal evaluation last week admitting it had erred in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment by claiming that Russia “aspired to” help elect Trump. But it stood by the overall assessment, signaling the agency’s reluctance to admit fault, its continued defensiveness in the face of mounting evidence, and its impunity. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has disclosed a limited amount of information about intelligence community abuses during the pandemic, including the targeting of COVID vaccine dissenters as potential violent extremists. But beyond that, the Trump administration has released very little, even on issues where transparency would appear to be in its political interest. The administration has kept classified large volumes of material related to COVID origins, the FBI’s role in Russiagate, the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story, and unidentified anomalous phenomena.
It is thus hard not to conclude that the intelligence community continues to operate in violation of the constitutional system of checks and balances by evading meaningful congressional oversight. The Constitution grants Congress the power and responsibility to oversee the executive branch, including intelligence agencies, through budgetary control, public hearings, and access to classified information. And yet the intelligence community is withholding and heavily redacting documents, delaying responses to lawful inquiries, and using national security classifications to avoid scrutiny.
This persistent obstruction undermines the legislative branch’s ability to hold agencies accountable and distorts the balance of power the framers designed. When unelected intelligence officials can withhold information not only from the public but from elected representatives, constitutional oversight becomes a formality rather than a functioning safeguard.
[…]
To prove it is not simply the latest custodian of the deep state, the Trump administration must release the Epstein videos and related evidence, fully expose the scope of the sex trafficking and apparent IC blackmail operation, and ensure that every perpetrator, regardless of power or position, is held accountable under the law. It must also release the long-withheld files on COVID origins, Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, January 6, unidentified aerial phenomena, and other topics. Even if these files do not reveal any “smoking guns,” the public has a right to full transparency. Only through this transparency can the credibility of the intelligence community be restored.
Congress must step up as well. Legislative leaders must hold public hearings on each of these issues, issue subpoenas if necessary, and demand full executive branch compliance with oversight. The Constitution grants Congress, not the intelligence agencies, the power to check secrecy, correct abuse, and uphold the rule of law.
These are not matters of political convenience but constitutional obligation. The American people have the right to know what their government has done in their name and against their rights. If the Trump administration fails to act, it will confirm the fear that even the most populist and combative president can be captured or neutralized by the very system he vowed to dismantle. And it will lose much of the legitimacy it gained by surviving and overcoming the lawfare, censorship, and weaponization of the deep state against it.
Many within the Trump administration acknowledge this and note that this is hardly the end of the Epstein affair.
“This is a total ******* disaster,” someone within the Intelligence Community told us this afternoon, as we were going to press with this editorial.

Judge Joe Brown agreed and he reminded us of the FBI's Mar-a-Lago Raid, where they were looking for Classified documents that Trump had withheld from the Archivist. Judge Brown said he suspected that Trump had withheld these documents, because they contained evidence of crimes and had he turned them over, the criminals would have destroyed this evidence.
Judge Brown told ( name deleted by me)"He had an obligation to the People to maintain control of that, which he did and I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. And it's been dropped. It's dead...And I have a sneaking suspicion that when the investigations are completed and they're solid, we're going to start seeing something come out of it."
The only way that the establishment did not use those implications to stop Trump from being elected, is if there are many many guilty establishment DNC politicians on it as well.No.
No. She's slow walking it because Trump is implicated in the reports. She's trying to find a way to sanitize it.![]()

Nope, no one can know that for sure. Only folks that are in love with Trump and hypnotized by the administration could believe something so silly.The one thing I do know is that Trump is not on the list because it would have been leaked. Comey FOR SURE would have leaked it. All the people who tried to frame him for being a Russian spy would have released his name on the list.
This aged real well. Lol
What do you think? The ***** is definitely lying now.Was she lying then or is the DoJ lying now?
If Trump was on the list it would've been released during Biden's administration.Pam Bondi Video Resurfaces Saying Epstein Client List Is ‘On My Desk’ as FBI, DOJ Say Client List Doesn’t Exist
A resurfaced interview of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi claiming the FBI handed over a “truckload” of Jeffrey Epstein documents including a client list is gaining renewed attention—just as the FBI and DOJ asserted no incriminating “client list” exists.
“We were looking at these documents going, these aren’t all the ‘Epstein Files.’ You know, they’re flight logs. They were names and victims’ names. And we’re going, where’s the rest of the stuff?” Bondi explained to Fox News’ Sean Hannity during an appearance on the news channel back in March. In a separate Feb. 21 interview on Fox News with host John Roberts Bondi was asked directly about the client list and responded, “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review.”

U.S. Attorney General Says FBI Turned Over a 'Truckload' of Evidence Related to Jeffrey Epstein After Denying Their Existence
An early March interview featuring the U.S. Attorney General is going viral after blasting the Biden administration for doing nothing with the fileswww.thewrap.com
Was she lying then or is the DoJ lying now? What happened to the list "sitting on my desk right now to review.” Is trump's name on the list so it got disappeared? Was there ever a list?
Is the AG of the US telling an overt lie a concern for trump backers? I can't see why it would be since trump lying has never been a concern before.
