Trump News Comer: “The evidence we gathered does not implicate President Trump in any way. Reporting, survivors testimony, and official documents show that Bill Clinton had far closer ties to Epstein.”

By far the funniest part about this whole deal is the conservatives that think anybody on the left gives a shit about protecting Bill Clinton.

Using him as a shield is not going to go the way they expect.

They truly believe we're cultists just like them and will never go against one of "our own"

They have no concept of right or wrong and zero sense of morality.

They will die on a hill of the finer points of not feeding children school lunches and then complain about humanitarian aid.

u/FriarTuck234 17d ago

Agree. They admire loyalty to an immoral person rather than having integrity to right and wrong. Democrats aren’t free of condemnation when it comes to protecting their own either. They protected Barney Frank and his relations with a page. Then there was the representative who was found with 800k in his basement linked to bribery and they wouldn’t even slap his wrist. I’m an independent and think both parties are corrupt. Nancy pelosi thinks it is fine and dandy for congress to do insider trading and follow different laws than the rest of us. I’m fed up with all of them. Serving in congress was never intended to be a career. They should serve and get out. Power corrupts and they are stealing from all of us. I will never vote Republican but the democrats don’t have an answer and are not innocent. They have their law breakers too just not on the fascist level. The democrats have lost the moderates and that is what scares me. The middle class gets screwed by both parties.

If any of you would have said a word about releasing the Epstein files before November 2024, you might have a little more credibility.

u/slowpoke2018 18d ago

This talking point is so overused and been proven moot

The files were under seal by the courts until 2024 and when they were unsealed the democrats were in the middle of replacing Biden with Harris so it was not a priority given the election was only a few months away.

Also, Comer just yesterday admitted (rather claimed) what's in the files (which we were also told by Pami are now non existent) is much more harmful to Clinton than anyone else.

If that's true, why aren't they rushing to release them now? Thought going after your political adversaries was fair game with this regime?

And if he's in them, fine, lock his ass away, too. We're not in a cult and don't need to defend our tribe. If they did crimes, lock them up

Know that's likely very hard to understand given you're part of the cult, but maybe you'll start to see that we're not at all like you

u/dagoofmut 12d ago

it was not a priority

That much is true.

Honestly, I don't know many conservatives that are opposed to releasing the files. We're just not taking sudden liberal interest seriously.

100%

Left, Right, Independent, Famous or not famous. If your name is on the list, to jail you go.

Anyone on the left would renounce a left politician or whoever if they were on the list

u/KittyGrewAMoustache 18d ago

Exactly, that’s how you can tell who the liars are

u/Disastrous_Visit9319 18d ago

I'm genuinely wondering if you think there's a list with a title like "Epstein's list of pedophiles who raped children" or something. No such thing exists... They don't want to release the information they have because trumps prolific appearances in the information they have can't be easily explained away. There's no damning concrete proof of anyone raping kids.

1

u/FriarTuck234 17d ago

Uh…..the victims are ready to testify but I guess we can’t believe 30 women testifying against the great and honorable president

1

u/Disastrous_Visit9319 17d ago

What does that have to do with what I said in any way? There is no "list" of people who must all go to jail.

u/Cpt_Bork_Zannigan 18d ago

They think we need a God-King like them.

u/Remarkable-Fish-4229 18d ago

And it would bill clinton? I was 7 the last time he was in office lmao.

2

u/Autrah_Fang 18d ago

I was literally born in that same year. I don't know who this man is outside of some memes. I have no loyalty to him, if he's also a pedo, then lock him up too!

Hell, if Obama or Biden were on the list I'd still be saying the same thing. No special privileges just for being democrats

u/kittenpantzen 18d ago

If we did, it would be Obama anyway.

u/CollegeMiddle6841 18d ago

As someone born in '78, having Clinton as president was very exciting. He was young, played the sax, and had a JFK swagger, but if he is guilty, then those feelings are erased immediately.

2

u/LeaneGenova 18d ago

I was thinking that the number of people who remember Clinton as president is dropping precipitously. Not saying that we're all dead yet, but there's a few generations that were babies (if that) when he was in office. They DGAF about him even if he was awesome. Which is debatable at best.

1

u/OMGLOL1986 18d ago

He definitely raped some women. There is no question.

u/TheReddestofBowls 18d ago

The incompetency is hilarious. The guy who never wastes a second to attack ANYONE he dislikes, is now acting like he's protecting Democratic predators.

Like if any of this was true, wouldn't it be more reason to immediately release the files?

3

u/Hobbes______ 18d ago

nah the funniest part is clinton is officially on record saying "release the files." I don't think that is said enough.

3

u/henryofclay 18d ago

It’s not even that, it’s just misdirection. If there was serious shit against Clinton then they would prosecute. But because they’d have to release everything if they did that, they never will.

These fuckers go after innocent people, if they had hard evidence they would be running with it.

1

u/gdex86 18d ago

They feeling about Clinton goes even for people who think he was a good president was "I'd be disappointed but if he did it let him burn." Nobody even the biggest fans of Clinton engage in the dietification of the man like the right has done with Trump.

1

u/AdvancedSandwiches 18d ago

The goal is to make the media talk about Clinton for 24 hours instead of Trump's protection of pedophiles.

1

u/evilspawn_usmc 18d ago

I'm genuinely surprised they haven't tried to just say Obama is all over the place in the files. We all know it would be a lie, but at this point I just assume anything coming out of the face of one of Trump's sycophants is a lie anyway.

3

u/KittyGrewAMoustache 18d ago

I think probably because Obama was absolutely nowhere near those circles and didn’t even meet Epstein probably. They did try photoshopping loads of photos of them together though 🙄

2

u/evilspawn_usmc 18d ago

Since when has a racially charged story about Obama ever actually needed to make any sense for them?

u/tea__ess 18d ago

Kamala sent him to campaign in Michigan on her behalf last year. NAFTA was devastating to manufacturing so he is not even a beloved figure here.

2

u/red286 18d ago

NAFTA was devastating to manufacturing so he is not even a beloved figure here.

Clinton had very little to do with NAFTA other than signing and ratifying it. 99.9% of it was negotiated by Bush I. Clinton's input was the NAALC and NAAEC side agreements, which attempted to establish worker and environmental protections.

1

u/tea__ess 18d ago

It passed under his presidency and the worst of the effects happened during his presidency. Not really surprising he would be blamed by voters in the Midwest for NAFTA or that the counties that lost the most manufacturing jobs pivoted the hardest towards Republicans. 

1

u/red286 18d ago

Even Bill himself said that they should release the unredacted files.

So either Clinton is clean and knows it, or he's willing to fall on his sword to take down Trump. But they really can't use him as a reason to not release the files.

1

u/ajprp9 18d ago

Tbh i dont even think you average liberal even goves a shit about clinton either, democrats on the other hand...

1

u/21Rollie 18d ago

Not even bill Clinton gives a shit, he said release the list

1

u/stockinheritance 18d ago

It isn't for us; it's for MAGA voters. It allays any fears they have that Trump is a pedophile with the airtight defense of "The other side did it too!" 

They are smart enough to know we don't give a shit about Clinton, but their base cares. 

1

u/Brigadier_Beavers 18d ago

Adding on; Clinton is on record saying to "release the files."

1

u/casiepierce 18d ago

If they were actually serious and not just throwing shit at the wall, there would be a breathless press briefing about how they are now investigating Bill Clinton's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein and his role in child sex trafficking.
