Speaking in Canton, Ohio, on Monday, Vice President JD Vance was asked about the Jeffrey Epstein files and took an opportunity to defend President Donald Trump and his handling of the ongoing saga, which has caused controversy among his base. Vance went straight to Trump's defense, saying the president has been transparent about the situation.
"First of all, the president has been very clear. We're not shielding anything," Vance said. "The president has directed the attorney general to release all credible information and, frankly, to go and find additional credible information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. He's been incredibly transparent about that stuff, but some of that stuff takes time."
Vance went on to say that Attorney General Pam Bondi is currently working on the request she received from Trump, asking her to release all credible information related to the case.
"The attorney general is hard at work on that issue right now," Vance said of Bondi, adding that the task takes time. "You've got to assemble that stuff, you've got to compile that stuff, you've got to redact some victims names so that you protect the victims," he said.

She proclaimed, with a flourish, that she had them all on her desk, and would release them. Then when she released stuff, most was already released previously or was out there publicly available.
And this -
His "boss" helped to CREATE victims.

(99 posts)Vance unwittingly reveals the truth when he refers to Trump being transparent in the sense of him being of or relating to something not credible, so it's more likely opaque. Kind of like alternative facts.

Make EVERY MAGA Republican squirm, trying to come up with a convincing lie! Ask about the video showing the outside of Epstein's jail cell -- why were there a couple of minutes missing, and why was it stitched together? Ask if Alex Acosta was named Secretary of Labor by Trump as a reward for giving a sweetheart deal to Epstein, a deal that let Epstein continue his crimes and his co-conspirators remain unnamed and immune from prosecution?
