Marc Elias on Trump's crazed "Don't waste time on Epstein" post

[highplainsdem]

A few things are clear from this:
1. Trump has lost control of the narrative.
2. Trump is panicked about what is in the Epstein files.
3. When the files get released, Trump will say they are forgeries.
4. Trump is going to target Democrats with political prosecutions.

1. Why didn't CNN continue reading the part where he accuses Obama, Hillary and Biden

of making up the list?

[dalton99a]

2. POS is panicking

[Attilatheblond]

3. Captain Queeg has gone from the pages of fiction to real life in the White House

And somebody seems mighty unnerved that Epstein won't stay dead as was planned.

[Cha]

10. Post Panicking 👿 could

he be any more Obvious

[pacalo]

25. And this is how he rolls when the going gets tough...

"Let's keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about."

"selfish people" are trying to hurt it (his PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD ) over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein."

[Deuxcents]

4. O, you're the talk of the world, for sure. One year ago, we had an economy humming along nicely,

Infrastructure projects, usually hiccups with bureaucracy but no one terrorized like they are now.
Thank you for your attention in this matter? Yep, some are and have been paying attention and all the shiny object don’t work anymore.

5. They will rewrite them and release them

This is coming. The WH will rewrite their own “Epstein Papers” and release them. Trump’s name will appear nowhere. It will be a total fabrication to attack Dems with.

[gab13by13]

6. I don't think so,

If they create a fabrication, and I was someone Impo-tent, I would go get Gloria Alred and ask her about the little girl who was suing Krasnov for raping her at Epstein's mansion, but she backed out when she got so many death threats. I would ask Gloria if she had a good case. There were witnesses.

Krasnov wants this to go away.

[Justice matters.]

14. I don't think so.

MAGA and Republicans never ask why Ghislaine Maxwell is still alive ... the answer is she probably has duplicates of the list and videos and audio of hundreds of influential people with friends and lawyers stored in safety deposit boxes a few Dems know about (its called her life insurance policy).

[homegirl]

17. And I was wondering when

Trump would pardon Ghislaine Maxwell, now i know-NEVER!

[VTderry]

20. I do think he's crazy (and scared) enough to try to

release a forged version of the files with only his "enemies" appearing therein.

I don't think it would fool anyone after that unhinged tweet.

My real fear is that Bondi has already shredded/erased/burned/dumped in a vat of acid all of the genuine material.

[Attilatheblond]

24. Anything for a buck Bondi? More a safe bet than a fear.

[Wiz Imp]

29. You do realize, that the files related to Epstein's arrests, his conviction and all the investigative materials

related to those investigations probably consists of 10s of thousands of pages? Along with probably many thousands of videos and photographs? Sorry, but the files can't realistically be faked. Now could they try to forge a single page or couple page document to try accuse Trump enemies of being involved.? Sure they could try it, but it won't work and for that reason I don't think they will try it. The most likely thing they would do to try to protect Trump would be to try to covertly destroy everything. But I don't think that will work either because too many people know what is in the files even if they don't know the specifics.

7. DU rec and bookmarking. Thank you.

[Figarosmom]

8. When his suckups finish

Investigating Russia, Russia, Russia and see the evidence against him, will they scrub it or become disillusioned that trump was guilty and the left was right about him?

I don't know for sure. Bondi will scrub I think because she's pretty stupid, but I think Kash is a true believer who's balloon will be burst. Idols fall hard when the veneer is gone.

[BREMPRO]

9. This cringe thought salad by Pedrumpt is

stark raving mad delusional deflecting paranoia. So presidential I forgot to show respect. What an utter embarrassment he is to himself. Reeks of I'm Sooooooo guilty and f*cked.

[niyad]

11. KNR and bookmarking.

[dobleremolque]

12. Hit a nerve, have we? n/t

[Uncle Joe]

13. "a guy who never dies," this sounds like Marley's ghost

Thanks for the thread highplainsdem

[GiqueCee]

15. Okay, let's quit dancing around this...

... Trump is stark raving mad, out of his fucking mind, and evil down to his DNA. And to all the Republicans, this is on YOU, and you will be branded with it for the next thousand years, if there still is a GOP, which I highly doubt. You're fucking DONE. You've screwed the pooch, BIG time, and there ain't no coming back from this monumental fuck-up of astronomical proportions. And you will deserve anything and everything that befalls you for this obscene treachery. You all deserve to die in prison for what you've done to America. It will take years to rectify all the harm you've done the country, but most of all, to completely innocent people who never did you any harm, but were dragged off the street and had their lives ruined, all so you could meet the insane quotas that Trump, Miller, Noem, and Homan set simply because they are unspeakable vile, hateful people who should never see the light of day again for the rest of their rotten fucking lives.

[Buddyzbuddy]

16. This guy doesn't know when to shut the f.ck up. And, I'm glad.

He talked his way into giving E.Jean Carroll a lot more money, and I'm glad that she's at least going to get some kind of monetary justice. But this moron is like O.J. "I didn't do it, but, if I did do it".

[Efilroft Sul]

18. This lengthy Trump screed is like a bad-acid, live version of Frampton's "Do You Feel Like We Do?"

Woke up this morning with a cell phone in my hand
Whose phone? What phone?
What the hell did I whine?
Must have been a dream
I don't believe I knew Epstein
Come on, let's do it again
Do you — you! — feel like I do?
Do you — you! — feel like I do?

Pam Bondi on the keyboards! Pam Bondi!

[Iris]

22. Genius!!!!

Well-done!!

23. Thank you kindly!

19. Shakespeare was familiar with this phenomenon: "Methinks thou doth protest *too* much ... "

If he was really innocent, a simple dismissive comment would suffice.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

26. My gran would laugh it off...

… as “smeller’s the feller!”

No one who makes this much noise is innocent. *eyeroll*

[Iris]

21. I feel like this is somewhat coherent for him. Like ChatGPT was told to write a tweet using his "style"

[Stargleamer]

27. No. 3 isn't happening

Bondi will make sure of it. My guess is the POS is in those files

[sop]

28. He's right about one thing: it''s hotter than hell outside.
