      Right? Headline should really read “Trump admits Epstein list is real, defends some of the people on it.”

        He is really worried about it - for sure. The amount of cover fire insanity has increased dramatically. I just can’t believe that out of all those FBI guys no one yet has leaked anything.

        I think the list was really the fly log, and black notebook.

        Those already were published.

        But FBI has 700GB of files that trump promised to make available. Now that he closed the investigation workout charging anytime (Maxwell had trial during Biden) then there shouldn’t be problem to release it, shouldn’t it?

        No, he’s projecting that he shouldn’t be in them but is… even though they don’t exist…

      Few weeks back the GOP led house oversight committee voted to subpoena the Epstein files. DNC members won the vote with GOP members who had publicly demanded the files release. The POS GOP chairman tried his slimiest to ignore the rest of the committe but was eventually brow beaten into submission -like the pathetic worm he is.

      This week they received the first batch of files and are reviewing them.

        Thanks for the synopsis, my fellow lemming.

        I wonder if them knowing the list of names makes this less likely to come out. If they see some big donor on there, it could be they start pretending there isn’t a list, too.

      They appear file-like.

      It’s a matter of interpretation.

      I was helping at a restaurant when I asked “What does C.C. mean on this order?”

      The waitress said, “Coca-Cola.”

      The hostess said, “Credit Card.”

      The cook said, “Chocolate cake.”

      The bartender said, Canadian Club."

      The accountant said, “Carbon Copy.”

      I always thought it meant cubic centimeters.
