Mike Johnson accused Democrats of “cherry pick[ing] three emails out of 20,000 documents” to “try and imply that the president was guilty.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has claimed that the Democrats rushing toward a vote next week to release files linked to the sex trafficking investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is a part of the party’s “entire game plan.”
“President Trump has clean hands. He’s not worried about it. I talk to him all the time. He has nothing to do with this. He’s frustrated that they’re turning it into a political issue,” the Louisiana politician told host Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday.”
Johnson called the move “not surprising because the Democrats have nothing else to talk about.”
Trump is suddenly pushing for their release. So yeah, whatever destruction of info/etc they’ve been working on for the past several months has been done.
Trump is pushing for investigations by the DOJ into the Democrats on the list - which effectively makes the files unable to be released to the public during the investigation.
Same pedophile protection, different path.
That is another thing happening. Not the only thing.
There are multiple copies of the files, in many hands - I don’t think editing is possible anymore. I could be wrong.
What I am expecting is Trump to just say “there see I told you, it’s nothing” even as it’s salacious and incriminating as hell, and Fox News carries that message, and people just move on, as our society hits a new low.
