Donald Trump rebukes American intelligence in the Oval Office, Trump calls for ABC News' license to be revoked, Trump says he will not sign any law that extends ACA subsidies, and more
Trump has been telling Republicans to release the files while, at the same time, also telling DOJ to reopen investigations into Dems that may be involved. Tbis reopening can and will effectively shut down releasing files during an ongoing investigation. See how that works?
There are other documents in existence which could legally prove some of the names which would have been removed, or at least that is my impression from having heard and/or read various news sources.
I did hear Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie talking on a podcast and they have other resources to back the information.. information from the victims' lawyers and the Epstein Estate..
I predict that the "release" won't be a floodgate, but a trickle and whistleblowers will start coming forward to fill in gaps. Because of that, he'll never be able to close the file. He's doomed and it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.
If only his name, then it’ll be obvious who the redacted is. If other Republicans are also eedacted, it would be harder to figure who - but as mentioned, the '“girls” are here to help you sort it out.
I would think the statute of limitations would be long enough to punish the FBI agents and anyone else who knowingly scrubbed the files—after we kick Trump and his horrific administration to the curb. Hopefully they are not stupid enough to think Trump could “protect” them even with a preemptive pardon. If Trump tries to pardon them, well have a good idea they are guilty.
Yep, I think they removed something or that investigation he told Bondi to open will somehow stop this. There's no way he just changed his tune over night after fighting it so hard.
Either Trump's name is scrubbed from them, or the DOJ won't actually release them. But all the Republicans can campaign on voting to release them when they're up for re-election. All they do is con, scheme, and manipulate.
It is too good to be true. In an investigation, records cannot be made public. He's insisting on having an investigation done, "for democratic fraud." The biggest joke, it will lock up the files. An investigation can take years.
Unless you're investigating Hillary's emails. No, James Comey, I will NEVER forget. (I still think the case against him should be dropped and Lindsey Halligan disbarred. I may get my wish there!)
If you really care about that then, you should support the efforts here. Corruption does exist throughout our government, on both sides of the aisle. If we keep getting interrupted with notions of, "what about them?," then we will get nowhere. All of the corruption, fraud, abuse, and crimes need to stop. END OF STORY!
They won’t be successful until they have a majority in the House and Senate. That’s why they’re waiting until after midterms to act. Of course, now Trump has turned many of his former voters against him, what with his immigration and foreign policies, and the bad economy. He’s sunk himself by turning his back on his own people.
Here’s President Obama (or AI) regarding Article 2 and what it takes. This has to happen soon because Project 2025 is working around the clock to destroy us. Midterms will be too late. We need to call and write our senators and reps.
I think I know what it is. I was going through my dated emails and watched a video of The Breakdown w/ Allison Gill. Most of the last part is dated (Nov. 10), but the first part was shocking, as she described her contacts revealing how the redactment process happened, in all of its sloppiness, poor management, and imperative directions for these hundreds of personnel to flag any mention of Trump. She also described how shocked many of them were at having to watch hours of videos of massages and other sexual encounters, with nude underage girls often featured in their interactions. PTSD on steroids. Everyone should watch the first part of this if you haven't seen it already:
Espsteins brother stated there doing to retract republican from the emails then I heard once approved then DOJ will say they can release because its under investigation 🤦♀️
Don't give up ! The truth will come out. People know he's lying. There's to many pictures floating around of him with young girls. He was best friends with Epstein for 15 yrs. Also the women know the truth!
Yet the photographs were taken before AI had reached the current stage of development, weren’t they? Also, if duplicates exits and are found in multiple places, possible with emails or postal envelopes, and dated, that could be verification.
Yes, they were from decades ago, but you know how he is. He makes things up and he repeats, repeats repeats and people believe him. Hopefully there are pics that can be validated.
the files will be redacted of all republicans but will list all democrats. djt is already saying “i wasn’t never there, wasn’t me” sickening;and piggy??!
They'll try to put Dems on the defense again (as usual). Did anyone see the "Revenge-o-Rama" the House pulled the minute the Epstein vote concluded? Disgusting, censuring Stacy Plaskett as if she were implicated with Epstein. I guarantee that more than one of the Republicans were in thick with old Jeff. Not to mention it was like pulling teeth to get George Santos out. And Matt Gaetz? Still TBD. Gym Jordan? ETC.
Here’s the catch. He previously said that the committee could have “everything they’re legally entitled to.
Now he says “everyone can see it.”
But… He just told Barbie, I mean Bondi, to “open an investigation of [names three or four Democrats] and their involvement with Epstein.”
So, suddenly, just like that, there is “an active investigation going” so Bondi can’t release the files. They can keep that investigation going until Jan 22, 2029, or until he dies, whichever comes first.
He didn’t just call her a horrible reporter. He told her be quiet, piggy. I would have seen red if he said something like that to me. The rapist and pedophile and he has the balls to call a woman, piggy.
He called the other ABC reporter a horrible person and a horrible reporter…. How does he know what kind of person she is?!? It’s all proof of sexism. He doesn’t talk to men this way! He’s so awful
Ooohhhh I think he would have…that question would have had the same nasty response to a man. What is the REAL disgrace was ‘honoring’ that murderer, as dt did.
A Trump-pardoned Jan. 6 rioter, Andrew Paul Johnson, was arrested on child molestation charges, with officials saying he tried to bribe his underage victim into silence by promising a nonexistent multimillion-dollar “Jan. 6” payout.
-not a trans woman, queer person or a drag queen. Good ol white bread republikkklan
Where to begin with this hypocritical joke of a president. He deserves no respect from reporters—especially females. This, the day after he admonishes a female reporter to “keep quiet piggy.” He won’t release the full files using the same lame excuse the he used with his taxes, “they’re under investigation so I can’t, legally.” Last but not least, he wants to return a whopping $2,000 so so we can buy healthcare directly. Spoken like someone who knows nothing about how healthcare, risk management, and how insurance companies work. I am SOOOO sick of his bullshit. Excuse my language.
I’m skeptical- I think it worked out for all of the “no” votes to say in the future to their constituents that they voted to release them but they just couldn’t be released bc of ongoing investigations
Please find out the name of the ABC reporter that asked him questions that actually mattered. I think we should all tell ABC that they actually have a reporter that is doing her job... and we should all thank her for standing up.
He was so vile to her my jaw actually dropped in horror. I am not surprised, but the moment these thing stop shocking me is the moment I become one of them.
Becky, thank you for asking her name! Absolutely, she was wise, polite, and admirably on target! His tirade, rudeness, and evasion of a truthful response indicated quite a cover up as well as lack of character by the words used, it seemed. She and the news station must know that we appreciate her and them, and that she is to be honored!
I believe, in my heart-of-hearts, that someone has a copy (or 2). The emails plus the files will off an understanding/connection that will ‘out’ the criminal behavior and those involved.
A deletion would be a change - so it would be an amendment. Not being privy to what exactly is in there, it's impossible to tell what they are going to release. The idea is to put them out there AS THEY ARE, with only the names of the victims having been redacted. Is that what's going to happen? We'll see. That's what we are all waiting for.
Im not sure…but if it is vetoed by dt (lower case intended)…I believe that Congress can move forward IF they reallllly want it done (whatever ‘it’ is). Hope someone can let us know for sure.
This seems too good to be true. Something is up
Exactly what I was thinking I feel like they tampered with them so the orange tweetalini isn’t in them
They did. The files were scrubbed clean of Republican names, I believe. Epstein’s brother even said so.
You are probably correct! That’s why he now says to get them out! Who knows how much was taken out? “Only the Shadow knows” ( old radio program!🤪)
I don't believe Donald Trump. He lies all the time. I can't remember the last time he told the truth. I'll wait until it happens.
I heard that they had people reading the files and redacted all the parts with Trump s name on them
pictures dont lie
🤣 Orange Tweetalini is a new one for me & I Love It - added it to my faves list, right up there with Velveeta Voldemort & The Duke of Dysentery
Trump has been telling Republicans to release the files while, at the same time, also telling DOJ to reopen investigations into Dems that may be involved. Tbis reopening can and will effectively shut down releasing files during an ongoing investigation. See how that works?
Exactly, Jacquetta. Not to mention that 1000 FBI agents will have conveniently redacted or deleted his name from any incriminating material.
And Mark Epstein stated late last night that the files had been sent to a facility in Virginia to have all Republican names deleted.
Omg I believe it.
There are other documents in existence which could legally prove some of the names which would have been removed, or at least that is my impression from having heard and/or read various news sources.
I wonder where he heard that. Not that I don't believe it, I'm just curious.
He didn’t name his source, but he said the information came from a very reliable source whom he trusts.
Did anyone really doubt that he would do that!
The 1000 bootlickers*
Having done that would put them in jeopardy legally, even if they were simply following orders, I should think, if they did that.
There no such thing as legal when it comes to the current administration...never has been!
Not only this, but when we finally get them they’ll be scrubbed.
It works for him because he can now say, "I tried. I really tried, but they won't let me" & his gullible 🍊 kool-aid drinkers will believe every word.
True. I am amazed how so many millions of his followers choose to walk around in willful ignorance even when his actions hurt so many others.
I know 🤯
It still smells fishy
Of course, it is! But that's how they're playing the game
Exactly!
They probably have scrubbed DJT’s name throughout the files!!!!
I did hear Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie talking on a podcast and they have other resources to back the information.. information from the victims' lawyers and the Epstein Estate..
I predict that the "release" won't be a floodgate, but a trickle and whistleblowers will start coming forward to fill in gaps. Because of that, he'll never be able to close the file. He's doomed and it couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.
That’s a lot of scrubbing.
If only his name, then it’ll be obvious who the redacted is. If other Republicans are also eedacted, it would be harder to figure who - but as mentioned, the '“girls” are here to help you sort it out.
Not 1 tiny bit would cause me to think differently!
Yep
Agreed. I am concerned they may have destroyed evidence. With the shutdown taking so long, they have had plenty of time.
Their plan all along!!! How could they do DJT’s bidding?!!! It is the ultimate in CORRUPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!
That action would be a punishable crime, if that is what happened.
I would think the statute of limitations would be long enough to punish the FBI agents and anyone else who knowingly scrubbed the files—after we kick Trump and his horrific administration to the curb. Hopefully they are not stupid enough to think Trump could “protect” them even with a preemptive pardon. If Trump tries to pardon them, well have a good idea they are guilty.
Something’s always up with this administration.
Yep, I think they removed something or that investigation he told Bondi to open will somehow stop this. There's no way he just changed his tune over night after fighting it so hard.
That's what I said. They're up to no good.
My thoughts exactly
Either Trump's name is scrubbed from them, or the DOJ won't actually release them. But all the Republicans can campaign on voting to release them when they're up for re-election. All they do is con, scheme, and manipulate.
That’s right but hopefully democrats will get spines and remind everyone the truth.
It is too good to be true. In an investigation, records cannot be made public. He's insisting on having an investigation done, "for democratic fraud." The biggest joke, it will lock up the files. An investigation can take years.
That’s why President Biden didn’t release them - because of the Maxwell investigation. But they’re claiming otherwise of course.
Unless you're investigating Hillary's emails. No, James Comey, I will NEVER forget. (I still think the case against him should be dropped and Lindsey Halligan disbarred. I may get my wish there!)
If you really care about that then, you should support the efforts here. Corruption does exist throughout our government, on both sides of the aisle. If we keep getting interrupted with notions of, "what about them?," then we will get nowhere. All of the corruption, fraud, abuse, and crimes need to stop. END OF STORY!
If the files have been scrubbed- then what?
Congress moves forward with impeaching Traitor-trump because he’s given plenty of other reasons to impeach under Article 2
They should have done this way before now because of the corruption and unlawfulness they’ve done since Day 1. So much damage has been done.
They won’t be successful until they have a majority in the House and Senate. That’s why they’re waiting until after midterms to act. Of course, now Trump has turned many of his former voters against him, what with his immigration and foreign policies, and the bad economy. He’s sunk himself by turning his back on his own people.
Here’s President Obama (or AI) regarding Article 2 and what it takes. This has to happen soon because Project 2025 is working around the clock to destroy us. Midterms will be too late. We need to call and write our senators and reps.

Yep!! I do not have a good feeling about this.
Me either. They are too eager now. Those files might be worthless at this point. They’ve retyped everything with another 1,000 FBI agents.
I wish the survivors would name names but their lives are probably in jeopardy. I thought one of the Congress women was going to come up with a list.
I think I know what it is. I was going through my dated emails and watched a video of The Breakdown w/ Allison Gill. Most of the last part is dated (Nov. 10), but the first part was shocking, as she described her contacts revealing how the redactment process happened, in all of its sloppiness, poor management, and imperative directions for these hundreds of personnel to flag any mention of Trump.

she is awesome
Thank you, S. A. Linden.
100% suspicious 🤨
Espsteins brother stated there doing to retract republican from the emails then I heard once approved then DOJ will say they can release because its under investigation 🤦♀️
Pam Bondi is gonna come out with her ‘investigation of the democrats.’
Those files are not going to be released. I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think I am
There are more copies out there…someone will come out with them eventually if trump and bondi block them. There are others that have dirt on trump.
Don't give up ! The truth will come out. People know he's lying. There's to many pictures floating around of him with young girls. He was best friends with Epstein for 15 yrs. Also the women know the truth!
Trump said Epstein was a really great guy and he likes women like him and on the young side. He’ll say the pictures are AI by the democrats.
Yet the photographs were taken before AI had reached the current stage of development, weren’t they? Also, if duplicates exits and are found in multiple places, possible with emails or postal envelopes, and dated, that could be verification.
Yes, they were from decades ago, but you know how he is. He makes things up and he repeats, repeats repeats and people believe him. Hopefully there are pics that can be validated.
Trump continues to get away with all his crimes and this is no different
I’m hoping Epstein’s estate will release them to the public.
The UK has a copy …
I really hope so.
@Aaron read this‼️
https://open.substack.com/pub/unpresidented/p/epsteins-brother-explains-trumps
I whole heartedly agree.
I’ve seen a few of the files on the government website and they were so heavily redacted, totally useless.
I believe it. They’re too willing now because they’ve had all this time to even retype them!
With the Pubs, you can’t trust what you see in front of you…. This feels very performative.
the files will be redacted of all republicans but will list all democrats. djt is already saying “i wasn’t never there, wasn’t me” sickening;and piggy??!
When will MTG read those names? Can’t be too soon.
Not if there's an open investigation
I agree!! And boy do I hope I’m wrong, for the victims sake
I agree they files will not see the light of day. DOJ will claim they need to be concealed become of some ongoing "investigation"
It's a veto proof majority. Congress has done their job! I wouldn't be surprised if the files are heavily redacted though. I certainly hope not.
Yes, it goes to the president desk. Where he will conclude, “so sorry piggies. it’s an active investigation.”
Yup
By the way, where is the desk? The Resolute Desk. The last photo I saw, of the golden oval didn't seem to include it. History means nothing to him.
Exactly.
He told bondi to start an investigation so that now it can be said they can't be released because of an active investigation.
Yes. Or classify many so not part of the bill.
Am I the only one wondering what the catch will be?
No. You are definitely not the only one. I am waiting not just for another shoe, but for an entire shoe rack to drop.
The GOP can brag about voting for releasing the files, but the WH will not release them. If they do it will be calculated to frame Democrats only.
They'll try to put Dems on the defense again (as usual). Did anyone see the "Revenge-o-Rama" the House pulled the minute the Epstein vote concluded? Disgusting, censuring Stacy Plaskett as if she were implicated with Epstein. I guarantee that more than one of the Republicans were in thick with old Jeff. Not to mention it was like pulling teeth to get George Santos out. And Matt Gaetz? Still TBD. Gym Jordan? ETC.
Pocket veto.
Here’s the catch. He previously said that the committee could have “everything they’re legally entitled to.
Now he says “everyone can see it.”
But… He just told Barbie, I mean Bondi, to “open an investigation of [names three or four Democrats] and their involvement with Epstein.”
So, suddenly, just like that, there is “an active investigation going” so Bondi can’t release the files. They can keep that investigation going until Jan 22, 2029, or until he dies, whichever comes first.
Plus the pocket Beto which would kill this bill.
“Insubordinate” 🤣🤣😂
He didn’t just call her a horrible reporter. He told her be quiet, piggy. I would have seen red if he said something like that to me. The rapist and pedophile and he has the balls to call a woman, piggy.
I really wish the reporter was ZsaZsa! Smack!!!!
Misogynistic pig take a look in the mirror
ZsaZsa was such a treasure 😍
He called the other ABC reporter a horrible person and a horrible reporter…. How does he know what kind of person she is?!? It’s all proof of sexism. He doesn’t talk to men this way! He’s so awful
He definitely picks on women! He really makes our country look bad!
Hes an abuser, that so obvious
Convicted in the E. Jean Carroll case. Assaulted her from behind at a clothing store fitting room.
Im not sure ‘picks on’ is strong enough, Gerda.
Ooohhhh I think he would have…that question would have had the same nasty response to a man. What is the REAL disgrace was ‘honoring’ that murderer, as dt did.
Well, that's who he is. We used to say as kids "What you say is what you are."
Give me 5 min. in a room with that creep and I guarantee he will never do that again.
Me too!
When we were kids it was "I know you are, but what am I?"
He's the biggest pig that there is!
🤦🏻♀️ Insulting pigs!
Well, he’s got a temper, and he’s crude‘
He needs to be b:+[h slapped…
She should have said… and you're a terrible president and an orange piggy.
Epstein’s brother said Republicans have been scrubbed…
That sounds correct!
Now THAT makes sense…but 23k emails? There is going to be a ‘few’ things in there.
Why would Mark Epstein have access to the files to know this?
He is in the emails communicating w/je
A Trump-pardoned Jan. 6 rioter, Andrew Paul Johnson, was arrested on child molestation charges, with officials saying he tried to bribe his underage victim into silence by promising a nonexistent multimillion-dollar “Jan. 6” payout.
-not a trans woman, queer person or a drag queen. Good ol white bread republikkklan
Not surprised.
republikkklan…clever!
This is amazing but I’m skeptical

Spoken like someone who knows nothing about how healthcare, risk management, and how insurance companies work. I am SOOOO sick of his bullshit. Excuse my language.
2k for HeathCare…what a fool!
man…he really believes we are THAT stupid.
Amen to all that you have said!🙏
With you!
I’m skeptical- I think it worked out for all of the “no” votes to say in the future to their constituents that they voted to release them but they just couldn’t be released bc of ongoing investigations
There you go.
Please find out the name of the ABC reporter that asked him questions that actually mattered. I think we should all tell ABC that they actually have a reporter that is doing her job... and we should all thank her for standing up.
Mary Bruce of ABC! Awesome Mary! Excellent reporter! She is doing an awesome Job!
YES!!!
Thank you.
He was so vile to her my jaw actually dropped in horror. I am not surprised, but the moment these thing stop shocking me is the moment I become one of them.
Amén!
Becky, thank you for asking her name! Absolutely, she was wise, polite, and admirably on target! His tirade, rudeness, and evasion of a truthful response indicated quite a cover up as well as lack of character by the words used, it seemed. She and the news station must know that we appreciate her and them, and that she is to be honored!
100% agree! And she asked w/attitude of ‘disgust’ in her voice and a bring-it-on facial expression that was warranted! Love it!
Aaron do you believe the files were altered?
Of course they were!
No
Do you believe water is wet!
😉Touché
Not sure I ‘trust’ that anymore either.
No question they have been altered.
Of course!
Something ain’t right.
Smelling fishy.
Yeah, this administration and these Republicans don’t do anything seemingly noble without a nefarious agenda.
I am still having difficulty understanding what seems to be a large percentage of voting Americans want to end democracy.
Where did you get that info? dt’s approval rating is in the 30s
Thanx for the reality check. I’ve been reading too many online bots recently.
Yup, I get it…GenZ are sooo not with him. We have alot of work to do to try to clean up this horrific mess he’s made. Keep speaking up! Join a group!
Exactly!
Absolutely agree! Not buying it. dt just released foles so he could claim ‘he’ told reps to vote yes…he wants credit…pay attention…something is up!
Did they gut it?
I’m sure the files have been scrubbed
I believe, in my heart-of-hearts, that someone has a copy (or 2). The emails plus the files will off an understanding/connection that will ‘out’ the criminal behavior and those involved.
If/when we can actually see/read the files.
It’s an” obviosity” as my daughter used to say when she was 5!
No. No amendments.
How about deletions?
A deletion would be a change - so it would be an amendment. Not being privy to what exactly is in there, it's impossible to tell what they are going to release. The idea is to put them out there AS THEY ARE, with only the names of the victims having been redacted. Is that what's going to happen? We'll see. That's what we are all waiting for.
If it’s almost unanimous in both houses that means veto proof majority unless someone gets shiesty right?
Yep. Only one vote against in the entire legislature.
Im not sure…but if it is vetoed by dt (lower case intended)…I believe that Congress can move forward IF they reallllly want it done (whatever ‘it’ is). Hope someone can let us know for sure.
God, Aaron you do great work!!
