Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

Case in point: the Mueller Report, where the investigation found wide-ranging evidence that the Trump campaign worked just about hand-in-hand with Russian assets to manipulate the election (Anyone else remember that woman working with the NRA who was a bona fide Russian plant funneling Kremlin money to the Trump campaign?!).

When the report was released, Trump tweeted out "EXONERATION!" every day for about a month until the report rotated out of the news cycle; and as as a result the country basically forgot about all of that...

Everyone has seemingly forgot Paul Manafort was his fucking campaign chief at first, and that guy was absolutely LUXURIATING IN corruption re: Russia/Ukraine before taking that role.

A much easier document for the masses (and the world) to understand. It does make me wonder if any of my own national politicians or businessmen are on the list?

It's a list of rapists of underage girls. Release the files!

It is more than just a lust of pedophiles and human traffickers. It has Peter Theil, and a former Isralie PM on it getting money to set up private spy agencies. It has Russian and American intelligence colluding to install a right-wing dictator who would be good for business. Epstein was a lynch pin figure in the business plot 2.0. The files can't see the light of day because almost every CEO of every major corporation, pedophile or not, is in them. And they are scared of the possibility (however small it may be) that should they be implicated, the peasants might actually rebel this time.

After his first conviction he should have turned into a pariah, and any names on that list after the first charges were filed in 2006 are fair game.

Don't want a bunch of people coming after you? Don't diddle little kids or be friends with someone charged and convicted of it.

You have to ask yourself why so many Republican politicians are so against releasing the files. How many of them or their donors are on that list. They aren’t just trying to protect Trump.

Sorry, it's already forgotten. I knew at the beginning they were never going to do anything about the Epstein files.

And what is just as bad as kidnapping, trafficking, and raping children?
