When Do The Leaks Start?

Also from Mock Paper Scissors:

Jeebus Johnson learns Pornhub is shutdown in the South, wonders about VPNs.

There’s no way that the Epstein Pedo-Files will ever be fully released without someone leaking them. Honestly, I’m surprised that no one has leaked it yet.

Of course Hair Füror tried to head it off at the pass (as one does), and you can honestly smell the flop sweat/loaded diaper in this story:

Trump and administration officials reached out to Boebert and Mace in the hours ahead of Grijalva signing the petition Wednesday, as either one of them removing their names would have prevented the effort from succeeding. CNN reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel planned to meet with Boebert on Wednesday. Trump called Mace early Wednesday, but the two had not connected as of early afternoon, a source told The Hill.

Both representatives kept their names on the petition.

From the NOTUS email thingie:

Two former Biden White House officials told NOTUS that it was “highly unusual” and “weird” for the Situation Room to be used for non-national security or classified issues. The White House did not respond.

“It’s just an easy SCIF to get to,” Boebert told NOTUS’ Manuela Silva last night when she asked why the meeting took place in a room reserved for high-profile national security issues. “I guess I’m pretty high profile.”

And this little detail makes something clear: “I’m not going to detail conversations that took place in the Situation Room,” semisentient jar of mayo and press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at the briefing. To gain access to the Situation Room you cannot have any phones or other recording info (including paper and pencils). They chose a SCIF deliberately.

Anyway, here’s the process AND the liabilities for releasing the Epstein Pedo-Files. If the House passes the bill, then…

    1. The measure heads to the Senate, where it will be filibustered. Will enough Republicans cross the line to bring the votes to 60?
    2. Any amendment the Senate might attach —no matter how trivial— would send it back to the House, where Pornhub Moses would then smother it in its sleep.
    3. Vulgarmort will never sign it.

Remember, the Epstein estate has the documents, too. That’s how the W$J made the  vulgar birthday card public. And it is also how we will know if the DOJ tampered with them, as it seems likely.

 

“Not One Decent Cell In His Body”

From Politizoom:

 

Wow. The Epstein emails are proving to be real treasures. Jeffrey Epstein may have been besties at one point with Donald Trump but the email that the above-headline was lifted from certainly shows that there was no love lost on Epstein’s part when it was written. Jeffrey Epstein once called Trump a “maniac” with signs of “early dementia,” newly-released emails show. The sex trafficker, once a close friend of the president, had soured on Trump by the time he moved into the White House in 2017, writing at the time that there was “not one decent cell in his body,” says The Daily Beast:

EMAILS RELEASED BY THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE SHOW THAT EPSTEIN FREQUENTLY BAD-MOUTHED TRUMP DURING HIS FIRST PRESIDENTIAL TERM, INCLUDING TO THOMAS LANDON JR., A FORMER NEW YORK TIMES FINANCE REPORTER.

“NO QUESTIONS DONALDS STATEMENT WAS GOOFY,” HE EMAILED IN JANUARY 2018, REFERRING TO A STATEMENT TRUMP GAVE IN REACTION TO A MICHAEL WOLFF BOOK. “EARLY DEMENTIA?”

TRUMP, 79, HAS FACED MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS HEALTH THIS YEAR, INCLUDING HIS MENTAL CAPACITY.

EPSTEIN’S MOST POTENT INDICTMENT OF TRUMP CAME WHILE HE CORRESPONDED WITH KATHRYN RUEMMLER, WHO WAS ONCE THE PRINCIPAL DEPUTY WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL TO BARACK OBAMA.

EPSTEIN EMAILED RUEMMLER IN DECEMBER 2018: “YOU MIGHT WANT TO TELL YOUR DEM FRIENDS THAT TREATING TRUMP LIKE A MAFIA DON, IGNORES THE FACT THAT HE HAS GREAT DANGEROUS POWER. TIGHTENING THE NOOSE TOO SLOWLY, RISKS A VERY BAD SITUATION. GAMBINO WAS NEVER THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF THERE WAS LITTLE GAMBINO COULD DO AS THE WALLS CLOSED IN. NOT SO WITH THIS MANIAC.”

EPSTEIN ALLEGED IN A SEPARATE EMAIL THAT TRUMP WAS NOT TRULY CLOSE WITH ANYONE. THAT ALIGNS WITH WHAT THE FINANCIER ONCE TOLD WOLFF IN BOMBSHELL TAPES FIRST PUBLISHED BY THE DAILY BEAST LAST YEAR.


“DONALD IS CLOSE TO NO ONE,” EPSTEIN EMAILED THE EMIRATI BUSINESSMAN SULTAN AHMED BIN SULAYEM IN 2018. “HE TALKS TO MANY PEOPLE. HE TELLS EACH ONE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.”

Everybody knows what a snake Trump is and the leaders of the world all use him for their own purposes or discard him, for the same reasons. Canada is done with the U.S. and I can’t say as how I blame them. Whether the bridges Trump has dynamited can ever be rebuilt by future American administrations is not known at this time. But if I was Canadian or French or a member of any number of world countries, I would have zero trust in a people who would elect a total scumbag like Trump twice. Not once but twice. That’s the true horror of all this.

Even Jeffrey Epstein, a man of no character himself, saw Trump for who and what he was. Roll that around in your grey matter for a while. Epstein was a man who trafficked in human suffering of the basest kind yet he had enough of a moral compass to realize who and what Donald Trump was. And he gave Trump a failing grade. A pedophile of the lowest kind and he still looked down on Trump morally. And Trump is in our White House. What’s left of it, in any event.

I Need To Go Shower Now

Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released (via Reddit) in case they all go fuckity bye there.

Midweek Madness From Jeff Tiedrich


some days, everything in the news is so unbelievably stupid that you don’t even know where to start. so let’s just spin the Big Wheel of Moron and see where it lands. ready? here we go.

oh look, the House just made itself go fuckity-bye for the rest of the summer.


why? because mean old Thomas Massie has been walking around with a big, throbbing discharge petition in his pants, and he’s been threatening to expose it to everyone.

House Speaker Limpdick Von Gavel had worked himself into a Ginormous Furious over this discharge petition — because had Massie gotten the chance to pull it out, it would have forced a vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

The acrimony comes as Massie continues to push for a vote on his bipartisan resolution calling for the release of documents in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a measure many Republicans are opposed to. Massie is vowing to use a discharge petition to force a vote on the measure, something rarely used by a member of the majority.

and so Speaker Limpdick did the only thing he could. he bravely ran away, away.

in fact, he made everyone run away.

Speaker Mike Johnson announced on Tuesday that he was cutting short the week’s legislative business and sending the House home early for the summer on Wednesday to avoid having to hold votes on releasing files related to the accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

there you have it, folks. that’s the length to which the entire Republican apparatus will go to suppress every shred of evidence about the sick shit that Dear Leader and his dead pedo bestie were up to — they’ll even make themselves go fuckity-bye.

the most useless Congress in history now goes home for the rest of the summer. apart from that big ugly bill that shreds the social safety net while giving another huge tax cut to gazillionaires, they accomplished fuck-all. they couldn’t even manage to rename a post office.

now, all these worthless Republican Reps can go back to their home districts and do fuck-all at home. don’t expect these profiles in courage to hold any town halls. they all know what will happen if they do: they’ll have to listen to angry constituents scream at them about why is my health insurance gone? why did the Space Nazi get a tax cut? — and above all: why didn’t you vote to release the Epstein Files?

everyone knows that Dear Leader’s name is all over the Epstein Files. otherwise, why would every one of Donny’s enablers be working so hard to make sure those files never see the light of day?

what a ridiculous fucking charade.


oh look, President Saddy McSadsad is sad.

“We had the Greatest Six Months of any President in the History of our Country, and all the Fake News wants to talk about is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax!”

oh, boo fucking hoo. put a sock in it, you whiny jackass.

first of all, was this past six months really the greatest of any presidency? fact check:

as for the second part: Alexa, are the Epstein Files all anyone wants to talk about?

fact check: of fucking course they are — because every five minutes, new shit comes to light.

Photos from 1993 confirm for the first time that Epstein attended Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples. Epstein’s attendance at the ceremony at the Plaza Hotel was not widely known until now.

In addition, footage from a 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion event in New York shows Trump and Epstein laughing and chatting together ahead of the runway event.

what else should we be talking about, Donny, if not your pedo bestie? would you like us to talk about how increasingly demented and incoherent you are? would that make you happier?

you know, he has these think tanks. and they build— they build buildings for people that think. and it’s really not thinking, it’s uhh, a little bit of combination of thinking, but it’s uhh, it’s something you sort of have, or you don’t have.”

holeeeey shit. ‘they build buildings for people that think.’ no, wait — they don’t just think, they do a combination of thinking. or they don’t, because it’s something only some people have.

here’s your pudding cup, Sundowning Grandpa Befuddlepants. it’s obviously way past your bedtime.

by the way, they also build buildings for people who don’t think.

but please, do go on, sir. we’re hanging on every word.

“but what we found is even more so. we found absolute— this isn’t like evidence, or the— this is like proof. irrefutable proof, that Obama was sedatious. that Obama led— was trying to lead a coup. and it was with Hillary Clinton, with all these other people. but Obama headed it up. and, if, you know, I get a kick when I hear— everyone talks about about people I never even heard of, was this— no, no, it was Obama. he headed it up. and it says so right in the papers. and everything. got everything. this is the biggest scandal in the history of our country. and it really goes on to even the autopen.”

words, do they even exist?

what is ‘sedatious,’ does anyone know? is that when you’re bodacious andseditious?

excuse me, but where are the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled media? can not one of these wastes of space stand up and, at long last, finally ask what the fuck is wrong with you?


no, they can’t.

they’re all content just stand around and nod their heads, as if a diaper-loading grievance-factory hallucinating crimes and threatening to imprison his predecessor was the most normal thing in the world.

nothing to see here, right?

imagine if Joe Biden had accused Donny of trying to lead a coup. OH WAIT, THAT’S A THING THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.


Barack Obama has issued a response to the Mad King’s caterwauling.

Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan senate intelligence committee, led by then-chairman Marco Rubio.

that’s pretty eloquent, but I like Stephen Colbert’s response to Donny better.

“go fuck yourself.”

Can You Say Desperation?

Little Donny Fuckface is rattled right now. he wants nothing more than for everyone to stop asking so many questions about his dead pedo bestie. for the first time in his soft, privileged life, the press has sunk its teeth into a scandal they can’t be distracted from — and the Mad King hasn’t a clue how to handle it.

Donny’s playing all the old hits, throwing everything at the wall and hoping that something — anything! — will stick.

Obama did a treason! Biden did an autopen! sports isn’t racist enough! Murdoch sucks! Colbert sucks! I’m suing everybody! SQUIRREL!!!

it’s not working. nothing is working — and Donny’s getting slaughtered in the polls.

just how rattled is Team Donny right now? this rattled: they’ve raised the threat level to DEFCON Hillary.

it’s right there on page one of the Republican Diversion Handbook: when all else fails, investigate the Email Lady.

Bondi announced Monday that the Department of Justice has released documents tied to the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State. The move comes in response to a long-standing request from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who has pushed for greater transparency surrounding the probe.

oh, thank the day. Chuck Grassley — who, at six hundred and seventy-nine years of age, is America’s oldest living elected official — is finally going to get to the bottom of this whole Hillary emails thing.

Chuck’s premise is that the FBI didn’t try hard enough to gin up proof that Hillary broke laws by running her own email server. Grassley believes that when the initial FBI investigation came up with bupkis, they should have opened a second. and if that one didn’t prove criminal culpability, they should have opened a third.

in other words, the FBI should have Benghazi’d the shit out of that email server.

Benghazi — now there was an investigation. do you think Republicans were daunted when they couldn’t find any proof that Hillary was responsible for the deaths of four diplomats in Libya? fuck no. they immediately cranked a second investigation in high gear. and then a third. a fourth. a fifth.

do you know how many total investigations there were into Benghazi? eight. that includes the one where they hauled Hillary before live cameras and made her testify for eleven consecutive hours — which she did with grace and humor.

so you can well understand why Chuck Grassley can’t believe that everyone just gave the fuck up after one email investigation. who does that, investigate Hillary only once? it makes no sense.

and, of course, Pam Bondi couldn’t wait to agree to Grassley’s request to declassify everything the FBI had on Hillary. anything — anything — to get MAGA’s mind off of the Epstein Files.

naturally, the wingnut outrage-industrial complex is only too happy to play along.

but as long they’re delving into Hillary’s imaginary crimes again, maybe they could check out that time when she accidentally butt-dialed a journalist and texted him classified war plans.

oh wait, that wasn’t Hillary who did that. it was the Fox News dunk-tank clown who screwed that up.

someone remind me, how many hearings were held after Pete Kegstand’s actual breach of national security? I seem to recall it was zero.

and please, someone remind me how many hours Congress spent grilling Piss-Drunk Pete on live television? spoiler alert: again, it was zero.

how many hours did Donny Convict spend testifying before the January 6th Committee? again, I seem to recall it was zero. in fact, when Donny was subpoenaed to testify, he blew it off and didn’t show up.

but sure, let’s just hassle the Email Lady every day for the rest of her life. there’s got to be something on her. there’s just got to be.

look: the only thing that anyone needs to know about Hillary’s emails is that Donny’s name is on every page of the Epstein files.


hey, as long as Pam Bondi is so horny to declassify FBI files and hand them out like party favors, I have a couple of requests — because there are some other unsolved scandals that really need to be looked into.

topmost: it’s time to reopen the investigation into TanSuitGate.

could we please get all the files about Obama’s tan suit?

sure, everyone knows that Obama wore a tan suit, but we never found out why.

look at poor old Comer Fudd. he still can’t figure out how old Joe Biden is.

I’m sure the FBI has files somewhere with Joe Biden’s birthdate on them. could someone do Comer a solid and pass them his way?


hey Donny — you want this to all go away? I have an easy solution for you: just release the files, and let everyone see for themselves how you did nothing wrong.

I mean, you’re innocent right? and innocent people don’t generally suppress the very files that prove how innocent they are, am I right?

am I right?


here’s another thing Pam Bondi did yesterday: she declassified a bunch of FBI files on the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.

look at us, releasin’ files. we’re so fucking transparent. who can accuse us of covering up anything? that was the intended message behind this bit of Kabuki.

you know who wasn’t impressed? Bernice King, MLK’s daughter.

in a world of Mad Kings, be a Bernice King.

A Little Something From BTC

Let’s get a little meta here and dig into the Epstein fallout from a political perspective.

Is this weird conspiracy theory really what we should be focusing on?

I am a student of the Dan Pfeiffer philosophy that we exploit issues that unite our party and divide the other party. Democrats are united in their desire to see the Epstein files released. Most Republicans also want to see the Epstein files released, other than a small faction of the most hardcore MAGA supporters. A YouGov poll from July 15 revealed as much:

It is political malpractice not to exploit an issue that unites 85% of Democrats, 76% of Independents, and 75% of Republicans— leaving Donald Trump and his sycophants appealing to a pathetic four percent of Americans.

Elevating independent or rightwing voices

Trump’s position has earned him bipartisan criticism. He’s being assailed by the likes of Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Andrew Schulz, Dave Smith, Shane Gillis, and many others. We should highlight their voices for two reasons: first, if you’re a Democrat, you may not have much credibility with Independents or Republicans. I certainly have far less credibility with Trump supporters than Joe Rogan – who helped Trump get elected – has with those same people. Which means that while my criticism may not carry much weight, his does. If I can help share effective criticism, why wouldn’t I jump at the opportunity? This is not about validating rightwing platforms or endorsing all of their opinions; this is about amplifying a message that will be particularly persuasive among the broader universe of voters. Period. Remember: the goal of politics is not purity; it’s winning elections, gaining power, and enacting our agenda.

Second, we need to create an incentive structure for those flirting with anti-Trump messaging to speak out. For example, Theo Von weighed in on this issue:

If we attack Theo Von as he’s criticizing the Trump administration (“You voted for this!”), what incentive is there for him to criticize them further? None. So throw him a like and retweet, and welcome his voice into the chorus of other voices speaking out. Our response cannot be to scold those who can be our allies – effective allies! – in this fight.

The right is very good is offering positive reinforcement to those who promote their agenda, and as a result, those people do it over and over until they’re fully red-pilled. We can’t let our pride or egos get in the way of smart politics. We win by adopting a strategy of addition, not subtraction.

Aren’t there more important issues to focus on?

Yes and no. There are no shortage of people who would say that the ICE raids, cuts to healthcare and food assistance, the dismantling of the ACA, the abandonment of our climate goals, and the sustained attack on the judiciary are more important than the files related to the wrongdoing of a dead pedophile. Other people would say that holding the other people involved in the crimes of that dead pedophile accountable for their behavior is also extraordinarily important. The reality is that we shouldn’t dismiss either one. But let’s consider the reality of our media environment. It is very, very rare for a political issue to break through in a way that the Epstein story has (on Thursday night, it was even mentioned at the ESPYs). It’s even more rare that it redounds to the political benefit of Democrats and to the detriment of Trump and Republicans. In moments like these, it’s not only impossible but unwise to try and swim against the tide. The country is united in its opposition to Trump and Republicans on this issue. There will be many, many opportunities to discuss healthcare and immigration and the courts and everything else this administration is doing. But in this moment, take the win and join the chorus of voices – left, right, and center – in giving this White House its much deserved derision.

How should we talk about this?

The questions write themselves. Why did Trump lie to his supporters about releasing the Epstein files? What is he hiding? Is he in the files? Who is he protecting? Whatever he’s trying to keep under wraps must be bad enough to warrant his insistence that he would rather lose the support of his own votersthan humor their demands for the information (that he himself promised them) to be released. Trump’s supporters voted for him because they believed that – his own warts notwithstanding – he would be the one who could expose the systemic corruption that allows powerful, wealthy elites to get away with heinous crimes. Instead, they’re learning that not only does Trump have no intention of exposing that systemic corruption, he’s actually entrenching it. Put simply, if you plan on staking your reputation on exposing criminals, don’t act surprised when your reputation craters once you opt to protect them instead.
