Good morning Michael! We the people totally agree. I'm sure there are some shocking names in those files. But whoever dared to willingly participate in such a disgusting world, needs to be prosecuted. We deserve the truth, we deserve accountability. Release the damn files.

This regime doesn’t care about the law except how to twist and turn it to their liking. Agree with you 100%!

Truth..... but the wealthy always gets away with breaking the law...at what dollar amount do the scales flip to protect us from pedophiles, trafficing children, grooming children? prrotect us from poeple like Rick Scott? This is what money can buy them... hopefully there is a free ticket to hell for all of them

The way that the Epstein files are being handled makes it very clear not only that Donald J Trump is up to his eyeballs in it, but also that highly placed, wealthy folks from all across the spectrum are involved as well, big political donors and “movers and shakers” who do not wish to be “outed” and will do almost anything to keep those files hidden. As long as Trump is in charge they’re fairly safe, because if Don doesn’t want the files released in any meaningful way, then his bimbinion at the DOJ will make it so. It is going to take some brave lower-level person to take one for the team and blast this stuff out.

Agree 1000%. I’ve thought from the beginning that tRUMP is top of the list.

Me too! No doubt they thought that pathetic roll-out of binders of already well-known info was going to fool everybody into thinking they were "releasing the files." More fools them. The more I read about Trump's, Epstein's, and their pals' grotesque shenanigans around young women and underage girls years ago, the more convinced I am that Trump has a lot to hide and will do anything to keep it hidden. How about these revelatory articles (if you haven't read them yet): https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/14/teen-models-powerful-men-when-donald-trump-hosted-look-of-the-year and https://www.timesofisrael.com/report-trump-hosted-cocaine-fueled-parties-with-underage-girls/ I'd also recommend watching Trump's deposition in the E. Jean Carroll civil case if you have 45 spare minutes. The real villain couldn't hide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA3lrm8pxME

Cultists gotta do what cultists gotta do…protect the supreme leader at all costs. What a vile sickness.

My greatest hope is that SOMEONE from the government (current or previous), has a FULL, UNCUT copy of EVERYTHING that was ever in those files! If not, I hope that there was at least ONE true patriot (among the thousand FBI agents who were ordered to flag EVERY instance of Trump's name in the files), who took a goddamn copy of the "central spreadsheet" that the morons ordered them to enter that data into! If either of those scenarios are true, we could still nail these sick bastards to the wall once sanity is returned to our government!!! Here's hoping...❤️

Our system of justice is failing miserably more and more each day. It boggles my mind how the people are just accepting this and not rising up and making their voices heard. This is OUR country, We THE PEOPLE have every right to demand justice. Michael you are doing all you can. People it is up to us!

So ya think rumors of Musk’s digging into Bongino has any roots in truth? We all learned to hate him, but like that saying, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”. I’m not sure I ever believed it, but it’s a nice wish.

Every day that they don't release the Epstein files just makes them look more guilty. The fact that they moved Maxwell to a spa after talking to Trump's lawyers makes them look extra guilty. That wasn't a smart move because it comes across as bribery. These girls need justice for the hell that they have been through and this regime doesn't seem to think that they deserve it, while we, the people, know that they do. Two wrongs don't make a right it only makes the guilty look more guilty. The DOJ is not supposed to be Trump's personal justice department, but the justice department for the United States. Since she only knows how to work for Trump and not the peoples, it tells how crooked she is. I hope when the girls that are speaking to Congress on the 3rd of Sept. get thru to all of the republicans and that they will change their minds about justice. Why would or should they protect the pedophiles? If they do, then we will know that they believe that pedophiles should run the streets and continue doing what they do. There's enough documentation about what has happened in the courts, so there's no denying it. We, the people of the United States, need to do everything we possible can to get justice for these girls and punishment for those that committed these crimes.

Michael I am prepared for them to Not follow the law. They know it will destroy them for the whole truth to get out. They are defiant, brazen and unrepentant. They wil cover their asses and lie lie lie. It’s up to us to interpret this behavior and call them out constantly.

The House Oversight Committee could call prosecutors who worked on the case if they wanted to get to the truth. They aren't looking to get to the truth. DOJ and Congressional Republicans are helping Trump cover up the truth.

The redactions were the the tell. They began under Trump in August 2019, long before Biden ever took office. Names were removed, entire pages of victim testimony blacked out. All under Trump's DOJ, Barr was still AG.
