And then we have this, from the "leader" of the free world:In a series of posts on his social media platform X, Elon Musk mocked Donald Trump’s wild claim that files related to the federal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender and longtime Trump friend, are “a hoax”.
“Wow, amazing that Epstein ‘killed himself’ and Ghislaine is in federal prison for a hoax,” Musk wrote in response to video of Trump’s attempt to deflect questions about Epstein, and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, by casting doubt on the authenticity of the documents his justice department has refused to release.
“Not a single Epstein client has been prosecuted. Not a single one,” Musk pointed out in response to a copy of Trump’s long screed on the matter earlier in the day.
In response to the far-right podcaster Tim Pool, who said that “Trump is trying to nuke his base” by insisting that any of his supporters who “bought into” a hoax created by Democrats were “weaklings”, Musk wrote: “He should just release the files and point out which part is the hoax.”
Elsewhere on Musk’s platform, the podcaster Theo Von shared video of JD Vance agreeing with him in an old interview: “Seriously, we need to release the Epstein list, that is an important thing.” Von, who hosted Trump during last year’s campaign, added the comment: “Yeah, what changed?”
U'mmm, right! It was the Democrats who forced candidate Trump to promise a full investigation and report on Epstein. Those damned Democrats sure are sneaky!Trump says FBI should investigate 'the Jeffrey Epstein hoax' as a criminal conspiracy against him
In an interview with Real America’s Voice, the far-right network created to host Steve Bannon’s podcast, Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the FBI should investigate what he called “the Jeffrey Epstein hoax” as part of a criminal conspiracy against him: “They could look at this Jeffrey Epstein hoax also, because that’s the same stuff, that’s all put out by Democrats,” Trump said. “And you know some of the naive Republicans fall right into line.”
Trump went on to suggest that all of the files from the federal investigation into his late friend, the convicted sex offender Epstein, should not be released because they might include false information about him planted there by his Democratic rivals.
Quick, send in the clowns...
Don't bothеr, they're herе.
Isn't it rich?

We already know that he flew on Epstein's plane multiple times, with Epstein.

"President Donald Trump's name appears in Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs released by his own attorney general on Thursday, Feb. 27. PEOPLE reviewed the flight logs and found Trump's name a total of seven times."
although rumors greatly excite the q-anon types embedded deeply in the gop, skepticism is warranted if/when facts are revealed.
it is certain MAGA loses interest when facts emerge, and there will be no shortage of rightwing media, congressmen, and scotus to spin\support as needed. not to mention 10-100 billions extorted for free legal support from the private sector.
trump loves any spotlight, and this is a distraction from much more meaningful economic and social disasters.
pertaining to Epstein's criminal activities.
In February of this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that Epstein's client list will be released.
It's very unusual when Trump's ardent supporters turn against him
but MAGA wants the "TRUTH" and they want it NOW!
Why doesn't the Trump administration release the actual Epstein case files?
What do they have to fear?
The administration stated that "credible" grand jury testimony will be released.
Grand jury testimony is a just a fraction of all the case information
and its release must be approved in court which is not guaranteed.
Also, who decides which information is credible?
Frankly, I'm not aware of any Trump administration officials who themselves are credible!
If you are aware of any, please let me know.
(Disclaimer - My view above is sheer unfounded speculation.)
I’ve always thought very highly of the WSJ. Since I subscribed 2-3 years ago I’ve felt they’ve done an excellent job separating their news reporting from their (albeit right wing) editorials.
Yes, I agree.
I agree with your assessment of the WSJ.
I've found most of their articles about business, investing, etc. to be well-written and informative.
There wasn't much (if any) evident political bias.
Definitely can't say the same for the editorials!
If you are aware of any, please let me know."
U'mmmm... let me get back to you on that one...
I need to know and will be patiently waiting for your answer...
