trump's reversal on releasing the Epstein files can only mean his name has been redacted.

And that they are only releasing what has already been released because they are opening new investigations into other parties and can’t release anything tied to those- more smokescreen.

I believe T is now open to releasing the E-files because his people have had time to scrub them. Once released, there will be no evidence against T at all and I, for one, won't be the least surprised.

"If it looks like you're going to get run out of town, get out in front and make it look like you're leading a parade."

This classic Washington expression says it all about why Trump is now agreeing to have the Epstein files released.

Having called in every single I-owe-you, and having twisted everyone’s arm, and having used up every threat and attempted blackmail, and having insulted friend and foe alike to avoid disclosure, Trump now wants us to believe that he wanted full disclosure from the start. And should any incriminating evidence be revealed, Trump will promptly stamp is as “FAKE”.

There is one thing, though, that we can be certain of should incriminating evidence be revealed. Trump will hunker down into attack mode to divert the public’s attention from him, perhaps by invading Venezuela or taking other military offensive action, the way he bombed Iran when his birthday parade left him with egg all over his face, and the way he’s been blowing up boats and murdering their occupants, all occurring when Trump’s poll numbers have been taking a nose dive.

The next dramatic diversionary move, though, will really need to be a whopper if a smoking gun is found in the Epstein files.

Fasten your seat-belts. Our Liar-in-Chief is about to take us for a ride.

Talking Feds Substack was particularly good today with Harry Litman, Neera Tanden and our insightful Contrarians Jen and Norm! I wholeheartedly agree with Neera and Jen about holding senate Republicans responsible for their votes regarding the Epstein files. I always look forward to their discussions.
