The Epstein story is proof that everything the GOP says is them blowing out of their asses [View all]

This CNN analysis piece by Aaron Blake really exposes the GOP for a bunch of blowhards. The "reasoning" given by the various GOPers over time proves, as Sgt. Schultz used to say, they "know nothing."

Back in February, for example, Attorney General Pam Bondi, hyped soon-to-be-released documents and suggested she had the so-called client list on her desk when asked about it in an interview. (She has since suggested she was referring to other documents.)

And then there's this:

In 2021, JD Vance accused the government of hiding a Jeffrey Epstein “client list” that the Trump-Vance administration now says doesn’t exist. “If you’re a journalist and you’re not asking questions about this case,” Vance said, “you should be ashamed of yourself.”

When he was a loudmouth podcaster and before Dan Bongino became part of the Trump Administration, he said,

“Listen, that Jeffrey Epstein story is a big deal,” now-Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino said the same year. “Please do not let that story go. Keep your eye on this.” “Who’s on those tapes?” Bongino added in February shortly before joining the administration. “Who’s in those black books? Why have they been hiding it?”

More recently, though ....

Bongino told Fox News last month: “I’m not paid for my opinions anymore. I work for the taxpayer now. I’m paid on evidence.”

The story relates that so much of what GOPers said in the past about the Epstein files has been denied or is just plain b.s. Of course, they won't admit that now.

And then there's this little thing from Trump that seems to have been trampled by all the other stupid things he has said. Talking about Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's cohort in crime, he said,

“I’m not looking for anything bad for her. I’m not looking bad for anybody.”

Sorry, Donnie, this thing ain't going away anytime soon.
