Trump Fumes as Epstein File Dominates Headlines.

[Mashmont]

It's pretty clear that the pressure of this story is getting to Trump, his lies are more disjointed and disconnected, and his attempts to pivot off the subject of Epstein are increasingly clumsy and incoherent. It is hard on him to keep lying, knowing he is implicated in a scandal he hopes to sweep under the rug.




The White House and Justice Department’s response has been driven by no clear strategy other than asking the country to move on, people close to the situation told The Post.


President Donald Trump is increasingly frustrated with his administration’s handling of the furor around the Jeffrey Epstein files, concerned the saga’s unabated domination of the news is overshadowing his agenda, said two people familiar with his thinking.

His exasperation follows weeks of missteps and no clear strategy among top officials who underestimated the outrage, especially from the president’s base, and hoped the country would forget about the unreleased Epstein files and move on, according to nearly a dozen people close to the situation, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal deliberations.

“This is a pretty substantial distraction,” said one person close to the situation. “While many are trying to keep the unity, in many ways, the DOJ and the FBI are breaking at the seams. Many are wondering how sustainable this is going to be for all the parties involved — be it the FBI director or attorney general.”

Despite his frustration, Trump has been hesitant to make personnel changes, according to another person close to the president. “He does not want to create a bigger spectacle by firing anyone,” this person said.

At the center of the storm is Attorney General Pam Bondi, who for months made releasing the FBI’s Epstein files one of her signature initiatives. Her pledge intensified the clamor among members of Trump’s right-wing base to release the files amid speculation that the undisclosed evidence could implicate the financier and sex offender’s rich and powerful friends.

“They completely miscalculated the fever pitch to which they built this up,” said Stephen A. Saltzburg, a former Justice Department official in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations who teaches at George Washington University’s law school. “Now, they seem to be in full-bore panic mode, trying to change the subject and flailing in an effort to make sense of what makes no sense.”

I think it's funny you clowns think you're getting to Trump. Is this the, like, 50th time you've claimed to?

We just enjoy watching his cult making excuses for him.

You know this is a cleverly articulated lie.

She was 17. Old enough to quit one job and start another.

She stayed with Epstein long after she turned 18.

She just 17(below the age of consent) Andes sex trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell

Stop Making excuses

Because she was below the age of consent does not mean slavery. Was was legally capable of quitting one job and taking another. She may have used bad judgment in taking the Epstein job, but there was no prohibition against her quitting.

There are people are the left STILL trying to tie the abuse of Virginia to Trump? Y'all must be trolls because there's a thing called Google that one can look for information. But don't take my word for it ...

Trump is very likely not involved with her or Jeffrey Epstein. Who says so? Why, Virginia herself in a confidential video deposition done back in 2016, and she responds to previous news reports by Sharon Churcher detailing her interactions with Donald Trump.

"It's true that he didn't partake in any sex with us," Giuffre said of Trump. It's not true that he flirted with me. Donald Trump never flirted with me." When asked again later if Trump had indeed flirted with her, Giuffre said, "He didn't. That's inaccurate."

She made a bad decision and quit one job to take another where she was sex trafficked. She still was allowed to make that decision and it had noth8ng to do with Trump.

Blaming the victim now, huh?

 

[FoghornLeghorn]

Correct.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Blaming the victim now, huh?

She made a decision. No one hit her over the head and dragged her off.

99 times out of a hundred the trouble that people get into are caused by the decisions they made. Is that blaming the victim? Should they have made better decisions?

Virginia wrote a book that exonerates Trump completely. To degenerate democrats, this only proves how guilty he is.

Are you confusing book with a deposition?

A former lawyer (cough cough) should know the difference

She never implicated Trump in a deposition. No one has. Democrats will just keep making things up that prove an Epstein connection.

Actually both since Virginia Guiffe never implicated Trump in either. She did accuse Alan Dershowitz of having sex with her. She has since recanted and didn't know why she named him.

Yea, like she wanted to go to court against Dershowitz, who is one of the most accomplished sleazebag lawyers in the world (and she was being sued by this man). She recanted rather than face the prospect of paying him millions.
