If you believe J.D. Vance, Donald Trump wants “full transparency” when it comes to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case. Of course, if that were true, we’d know what the Epstein files say about the president and others who were close with the billionaire who trafficked underage girls.

    That’s not just a likely lie - it’s an entirely self-evident and certain lie.

    There’s nothing - not one single thing - that’s standing in Trump’s way. If he actually wanted full transparency, that’s what we’d have, immediately and effortlessly. So it can only be the case that that’s a lie - it’s literally impossible for it to actually be the truth.

      Ironically, it was Trump himself set precedent when he released the JFK and MLK files.

      “The people in power don’t want you to know these things!”

      “Sir, you are literally the president and have control over, or have proven you can ignore, most branches of the government.”

      “Shhhhhhhhhhhh”

    They’re blaming Biden for not releasing them. Do they think people forgot trump is currently president? Who cares why Biden didn’t, he’s not president anymore and if he’s shady for not releasing them? Release the files and Prove it.

    He is apsolutly right, Full transparency means invisibility, so it’s not visible and there’s nothing to talk about, it doesn’t exist.

    The only transparency FatDonnie wants is the transparency of little girls underwear. Human trafficking and abuse need to be exposed.

    I sincerely believe this means that they’re going to release Epstein documents very soon. I also think they’re going to claim everything is unedited and totally transparent. And I think that every single inch of every single document will have been fucked with beyond recognition.

    Get ready for Epstein to have been incredibly close friends with all of Trump’s enemies.

      And they’ll produce the phony documents in such a shoddy way that it’ll take under a day to detect that they’re fake. And then they’ll double down.

    The guy who complains when anyone even TALKS about it… the one that said that the stuff in the case files (produced under his administration) was mostly phony… the one who tried to keep the Wall Street Journal from releasing the fact that he had a creepy cryptically worded birthday letter with a drawn named woman on it given to Epstein, and then punitively sued them after they published anyway… the one who instructed his fixer to have a closed door, private meeting with Epstein’s assistant who is convicted for the same crimes Epstein committed, who has perjured herself to avoid trouble before, who clearly got better accommodations in a lower security prison as a result of some undisclosed deal with this fixer and Trump, and who needs only to please Trump, who is heavily implicated in her crimes, to get herself a full pardon… HE wants full transparency… yeah… that makes sense.
