Can you say attempted redirect? I’ll bet you can. These are being released now in an attempt to move on from the Epstein files. It’s not going to work. This may be a “big deal” for a couple of days, but now they know there’s more to the Epstein files, and I expect everyone to go right back to demanding them. The racy birthday card is out there, and the probable book of birthday greetings is out there, so it will be hard to keep them off the subject. This is not a good look for Trumpolini. He and his staff are evading the issue with *every one* of his people insisting there’s nothing to it. Really? From AlterNet:
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Monday that the Justice Department has released a declassified appendix from the 2018 Inspector General’s report, shedding new light on the FBI’s investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s private email server. This step follows a long-standing appeal from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who has consistently advocated for more openness about the investigation. Grassley released the document on Monday after receiving it from Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.
Well alrighty then! This should give the ravening horde a little bit of information. Not much, but it’s something, right? Place your bets on how long it will be until the people want to see more of Epstein. I’m thinking sooner rather than later. It might depend on if the smarter MAGAts go back first and start asking about it again. One person can ask or comment on social media, and HELLO, there ya go. Someone will lead by example, and others will follow. That brings them right back to the bigger scandal. The Clinton files are, well, old news.
The newly released appendix shows the FBI retrieved thumb drives, described as containing hacked State Department data, including messages from former President Barack Obama — but did not fully analyze their contents, per the Washington Examiner. The Clinton email controversy dates back to 2009–2013, when Clinton conducted official business via a private, home-based email system. The FBI concluded she had been “extremely careless” but did not find evidence of criminal intent, opting not to press charges.
Bondi’s Monday announcement also intersects with ongoing controversy over the handling of documents related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Conservatives had pressed for the release of Epstein’s “client list,” but a DOJ-FBI memo later said that no such list existed and emphasized that most materials remain sealed to protect victims.
Nothing to see here, move along. Y’know, the cat’s out of the bag, and they have to produce. Would have been better off to say nothing about it in the first place. MAGA might not have thought about it. But … it was part of the Orangutan’s manifesto. WHAM, you reminded MAGA about it and “that’s all she wrote.”
Meanwhile, Bondi’s Monday decision was criticized as a “distraction” on social media. Podcaster Brian Allen wrote on the social platform X: “Trump’s DOJ just reopened the Clinton email investigation — releasing documents from the failed 2016 probe under James Comey. Pam Bondi’s DOJ says this is about ‘transparency.’ But we all know what this really is: political theater to distract from the Epstein fallout and criminal referrals now hitting Trump’s own administration. They’re flailing. And they’re running out of cards to play.” Another X user wrote: “NEW: Here we go again… it’s 2025 and they’re still yelling ‘BUT HER EMAILS!’ “The desperation is so obvious,” wrote another account.
As I was saying, it’s supposed to be a diversion. People have picked up on that quickly. We can safely conclude that MAGA and others will be back demanding Epstein information in short order. Nice try, kiddies. It didn’t work. You bungled it. Awww.
Thanks for sticking with me!
Zoomers, we are always in need of donations. We work hard to get you analysis that you will not find in the mainstream media, but all media have been hit hard since the big companies have gobbled up and monopolized commentary. Anything you can spare will be immensely appreciated. And thank you to all who have donated generously already. Ursula
Right! They are withholding releasing the files to protect the victims! Is that why it took 1000 FBI people to flag every time traitor tot’s name was mentioned, to protect the victims?
protect the victims? how about stand up for the victims by prosecuting the offenders. h9iding the contents of the files only protects the bad guys, orto be more precise, as w used to say, the evil doers
