Trump un-endorses Marjorie Taylor Greene
I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of “Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia. Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden’s Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., and having created the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see “Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

FYI Epstein document searchers: “McGyver” is a nickname for Trump.
ecmclaughlin.bsky.social Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin @ecmclaughlin.bsky.social · 1d
So, in other interesting discoveries, Kathy Ruemmler nicknamed Trump "McGuyver" because he reminded her of mannerisms in the TV character.

This led to some coded conversations between her and Epstein about Trump.

Here is Epstein talking about a conversation he had with "Mcgiver" in 2016 (!!!).

This would be the most brazenly corrupt and obvious guilt ridden thing he has ever done out of thousands of other corrupt acts. Even a huge % of his hardcore MAGA cult members will revolt against this and finally realize he is involved. But I am quite sure he is desperate enough to do it anyway.

Odd that the DoJ is opening an investigation into the Epstein files since they said in July that there was no client list and nothing to release.

Sooooo dementia sleepy Joe Biden is actually a mastermind who framed Trump by adding evidence to the Epstein Files. Which are a hoax, but are being investigated. After trump closed the investigation in July, and said there was no client list.

1) 'Why I Resigned' from UVa Prez 100% worth reading www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

2) Events were forced by NYT story w leaked info that he was under pressure to resign. UVa prez has 'no idea' where leaks came from (See below.)

3) FWIW same NYT team did leaked "Harvard will cave" stories
Story says: Headline "The Final Day" Then: The Final Day Rachel went to meet with the DOJ lawyers the next day—Thursday, June 26th. That morning, an article came out in the NY Times describing how DOJ lawyers were pressuring me to resign. I still have no idea who leaked the story. At around 1pm on Thursday, I was called by Rachel and the two outside lawyers, Jack and Farnaz, who attended the meeting with Rachel. I was told that the DOJ lawyers were very upset with the leaked story in the Times and that the only offer on the table was that I needed to resign by 5pm that day or the DOJ would basically rain hell on UVA. I also needed my resignation to be effective prior to the students returning. If I did not resign that day, I was told that the DOJ would extract/block hundreds of millions of dollars from UVA before they would even negotiate. I was then told that the DOJ had offered an amazing deal—unlike any the lawyers had ever seen, in their words. They were basically willing to grant UVA blanket immunity—all of the inquires and investigations would be suspended, no financial penalties would be imposed, and agencies would be told not to cut off our research funding. They said they had never seen or heard about such a great deal for any university. Rachel praised the lawyers for their astute and savvy bargaining, and I was told this was an amazing deal.

Dugan provides A LOT more background abt the flux on immigration arrests in MKE at the time, including showing how she complied w/draft rules from Chief Judge.

Links:

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Chief Judge Ashley’s draft policy, borrowing heavily from the PowerPoint slides, also said: Court personnel may not authorize the entry of immigration agency personnel into the nonpublic areas of any Court facility; and must promptly refer immigration agency personnel to their immediate supervisor or manager. If an immigration agency officer insists on access to a non-public area, the employee should not resist but should say, “I do not consent, but because I have no other choice at this time, I will not interfere with your order” and immediately contact their supervisor about the officer’s order, prepare a written statement about the encounter, and submit it to their supervisor. Bates 001393. The government indicted Judge Dugan for “falsely” telling ICE agents they needed a judicial warrant. But if both Chief Judge Ashley and Judge Dugan were informed that ICE policy requires arrests to take place in nonpublic places of the courthouse, and Chief Judge Ashley’s policy prohibits ICE from executing administrative warrants in nonpublic places of the courthouse, then indeed, the only viable option for ICE arrests in the courthouse that comply with both ICE policy and Chief Judge Ashley’s policy, was for ICE agent to have a judicial arrest warrant, which according to Chief Judge Ashley’s policy “allows an immigration enforcement officer to enter into a nonpublic place (if necessary) to arrest a person named in the warrant.” Bates 001394

The govt and Hannah Dugan (judge arrested in Milwaukee for disrupting an immigration arrest in what seems an aeon ago) have exchanged their limine motions. DOJ's are competently dickish in a way we used to see.

DOJ is going to arg by deferring hearing Dugan violated victim's rights.
5. Motion to preclude evidence of the defendant’s violations of laws protecting victims’ rights. In her fifth motion, the defendant moves to prohibit the United States from arguing or eliciting opinion testimony that she violated Article I, Section 9m of the Wisconsin Constitution, otherwise known as Marsy’s Law. The United States agrees that there should not be a “mini-trial” about whether the defendant violated Marsy’s Law. However, as will be explained further below in response to her ninth motion in limine, how she handled E.F.R.’s hearing, and whether it was routine or “business as usual,” is relevant to her intent. E.F.R. was charged with three counts of battery-domestic abuse. The nature of those charges necessarily implied that there were victims. Those victims were in the courtroom for E.F.R.’s hearing on April 18, 2025. The evidence at trial will demonstrate that the defendant never afforded those victims the opportunity to speak, let alone notify them that the hearing was even occurring. That omission is particularly significant because the issue of victims’ rights would have been forefront on the defendant’s mind due to the events in her courtroom that occurred earlier that same week.

I haven't looked but there HAS to be something she said in her wildly contemptuous oversight hearing in September that conflicts with one of these 4 conflicting claims.

Pam Bondi on Feb. 21: Epstein client list is “sitting on my desk right now.”
Bondi’s DOJ on July 7: There’s no client list. As for other Epstein files, “no further disclosure would be appropriate.”
Trump on Nov. 14: Investigate Bill Clinton over Epstein.
Bondi, also Nov. 14: Coming right up, boss!
Bondi responds to Trump social post by saying she’s assigned a prosecutor to go after Clinton.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

Pam Bondi has radicalized Reid Hoffman.

👀
The call for an investigation is an obvious ploy to avoid releasing the files. Simply release all the files, and expose the people who had both deep and ongoing relationships with Epstein.
