There is more to this than the obvious corruption. I suspect it is the latest attempt to withhold the incriminating Epstein files. If DOJ has an open, ongoing investigation into Epstein again, it can use that fact as a pretext for withholding any documents, lest it undermine the case. So shady.

It might not be obvious to the MAGAverse but you can not murder criminals unless there is immediate physical danger or they have been convicted by a jury of their peers and sentenced to death. Seems like what Trump and Hegseth are doing is pre
Meditated murder. Why not arrest the boaters?
Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.

Trump Boat Bombings Darken as Secret Memo Reveals Holes in Legal Case
A new White House memo argues that those carrying out the boat attacks can’t be prosecuted. Why? Because the White House says so!

Typical Trump. He creates the problem then takes credit for fixing it.

The one thing we can be sure of, Swalwell is not really being charged for anything other than being an outspoken critic of Trump. No one should think otherwise. Take note MAGA. He will turn on any of you at any time.

Uhhhh Bullshit- Bondi , your boy Donny better be on that list with Sommers, JPM etc. you better find what is meant in that email that said about Trump,” he didn’t bark”

Of course these reasons to impeach Trump don’t include the mountain of evidence in his first term that did impeach him and should have convicted him in the senate.

Ms Bullshit- Bondi, as you investigate the “ Epstein Hoax” , since Trump directs the DOJ based on the released Epstein emails, will you use Trump’s criteria, ie. Names appearing in the emails? Seems Trump’s name appears a few more times than some of the other targets. Too funny.

Trump must go, along with his core cabinet. But he must go with our Congress removing him legally and in a united effort with the support of the courts, military and the people. It starts with the people and the vote. Only through the people and their representatives will it heal the wound.

Putting our troops in harms way because you need to distract from your involvement with a pedophile and because your economic policies are a mess is disgraceful. Congress must halt this military action unless there is a clear military threat against the US
Operation Change The Topic From Epstein

Hey Donny, your name appears as much if not more than some of the others you list. The DOJ must include you based on your own words. There is no hoax except your threats, stalling and distraction. Everyone who knew what Epstein was doing deserves to be outed. You are truly deranged.
And so the great deflection begins…

Someday, those senators and representatives who covered for Trump in one of the most disgraceful chapters in our history, a day as infamous as any in US history will be remembered and branded for their behavior leading to Jan6. They will be viewed as trash and traitors.

It is so funny to hear JD Vance echo Trump, especially when he blames Biden for the current economic challenges. Trump says everything is great, prices are down, America is hot again lol. But of course, all failures and stupid tariff mistakes are Biden’s fault! Laughable. 🤪🤪🤪
November 14, 2025 at 12:32 PM
Trump and his crony cabinet are starting a war to distract from their failures and Trump’s involvement with Epstein. Do you want your sons and daughters fighting and dying for Trump- Vance- Hegseth- Bondi? They won’t be fighting and dying for America
Looks like we’re going to war with Venezuela to distract from the Epstein files.
November 14, 2025 at 12:27 PM
At best the emails show a real long lasting and somewhat intimate relationship with Epstein and a lot of good insights into Trump’s character.
I guess they’re counting on Trumpers not being able to actually read the emails because they definitely prove his involvement.

Gotta love Mr Young and one of my personal favorites songs by him. Great album and a really great song…. The drummer relaxes and waits between shows for his cinnamon girl … makes ya smile.

Don’t t you kinda like this? Bringing in Brennan while personally challenging for him, could be a great opportunity to bring up the forgotten reasons why indictments were brought, why there was probable cause and why if anything the system favored Trump.
Breaking on MSNBC:

A source close to former CIA Director John Brennan confirms he has received a subpoena in connection with the Florida grand jury investigation.

All the subpoenas in this round asked for docs related to the prep of the 2016 intel assessment on Russian election interference.

Let’s not forget the little issues regarding an insurrection and involvement with Mr Epstein

Trump Kryptonite- his approval rating for handling the economy-33% according to latest polling
Trump’s approval rating of Epstein’s “ girl issues“- 100% - According to to Epstein

This one is for you MAGA- time you listened to reason and come to grips with who you elected. He lies to you… every day. You either deserve better or you get what you deserve.

Get ready MAGA, supply chains bought inventory to anticipate tariffs but now the buy in is depleted. Walmart announced price increases tied directly to Tariffs and Trump says they should em. How about Trump eat them? Walmart can eat em and layoff thousands. Good luck MAGA, it’s coming your way
November 12, 2025 at 8:11 PM
What makes the Supreme Court Court so anti democratic is their willingness to twist and explore every legal weed as they ignore the legal big picture of the need to preserve checks and balances. Exploration of the checks on power is as important as protecting powers of the Executive. Where is that ?
November 12, 2025 at 1:46 PM
Trump just made up the story about repaying Tariffs being nearly impossible. CNBC story appears to suggest otherwise.
