Nancy Mace Says Trump Was an FBI Informant. So He Flipped on Epstein to Save Himself?

Posted by on September 3, 2025 at 1:41 pm. 0 Comments :

For several weeks the top story in the news has been how Donald Trump and the MAGA GOP have refused to release the Jeffrey Epstein files that are in the custody of the Justice Department. And for several weeks Trump has whined that it is an irrelevant subject that should be ignored in favor of the glassy-eyed praise that he believes he is due for merely existing.

Donald Trump, Woman, Fear

In the midst of this controversy, some of Epstein’s victims held a press conference in Washington on Wednesday to advocate for the release of the files, and accountability for the predators who patronized him and the politicians who continue to protect him. And still, Trump can’t understand why the media isn’t fixated on his divine magnificence.

SEE THIS: The King of Conspiracy Theories Whines that Democrats Don’t Talk Enough About How Awesome He Is

One of the pro-Trump pols who is a longtime member of the Trump Cult, Nancy Mace, was observed on Tuesday leaving a closed-door session on Capitol Hill, during which some members of the House Oversight Committee heard testimony from Epstein’s victims. Mace reportedly had tears in her eyes and later posted a comment on Twitter/X saying that…

“As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can’t breathe. I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us.”

That’s seems like a heartfelt reaction by someone who has suffered a similar abusive experience. The problem is that Mace is still an apologist for the vile sex offender Trump, who she believes to be as pure as the Virgin Mary. With regard to Trump and Epstein, she told reporters that…

“Donald Trump is the one who banned Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago. He was an FBI informant, and he talked to the feds to get this guy turned over. So Donald Trump is a hero in this.”

WHUT? Nancy Mace says Trump was "an FBI informant"?That would mean that Trump had incriminating info about Epstein. Which sounds like he was Epstein's partner or client and "talked to the feds" to avoid prosecution. He's no hero. If he were, he'd have released those files long ago.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-09-03T08:52:43.300Z

A “hero”? That would be like calling Salvatore “Sammy the Bull” Gravano, who committed at least 19 murders, a hero for turning state’s evidence against his boss, Mafia kingpin John Gotti. What Mace is saying is that Trump offered to tell the feds what he knew about Epstein. But how would Trump know things about Epstein that would incriminate him if he wasn’t involved in some way?

Mace is introducing the possibility that Trump turned state’s evidence against Epstein in order to save himself. Which sounds like he could have been Epstein’s partner or client and “talked to the feds” to avoid prosecution. He’s no hero. If he were, he’d have released those files long ago so that he could bask in the glory of his heroics.

Meanwhile, as Epstein’s victims were speaking out, Trump was calling them liars who are part of a hoax. And he exalted himself with his totally fake “Seven Wars Hoax,” that he claims are conflicts that he prevented or ended, but which he generally brings up when he needs to change the subject.

DISGUSTING!As Epstein's victims are speaking out, Trump is calling them liars who are part of a hoax. And he's exalting himself with his totally fake "Seven Wars Hoax" in order to change the subject.

The Epstein affair has had a surprising impact on Trump and his MAGA movement. So many other scandals faded away rather quickly, including his sexual abuse of writer E. Jean Carroll, his half billion dollar judgment for financial fraud, his unsavory relations with Vladimir Putin and other Russian operatives; his Stalinist attacks on his political foes, and so much more.

The Epstein matter, however, hangs on week after week. And it is having a noticeable effect on his MAGA base. Even stalwart Trumpists like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie are uniting with Democrats to make the files public, in defiance of Trump’s demands to stand down. And now, Nancy Mace has inadvertently exposed another potential Trump vulnerability.

Will the Epstein files reveal whether Trump was, in fact, an FBI informant? Did he have personal knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities? Did he participate in them? We’ll just have to wait and see. Which makes it all the more imperative to make those files public ASAP.

UPDATE: GOP House Speaker, MAGA Mike Johnson, has joined Mace making the preposterous assertion that Trump was an FBI informant in the probe of Epstein. Both are saying this without a shred of evidence. Both are ignoring that Trump would have to have some knowledge of Epstein’s crimes in order to be an informant. And if it were true, it would be in the files that Trump is so feverishly trying to keep secret.

HOLY SHIH TZU! A couple of days ago, MAGA Rep. Nancy Mace said that Trump was an FBI informant. Which means he had to know about Epstein's crimes. And it would be in the files that he is trying to keep secret. #TrumpEpsteinFilesMORE HERE: www.newscorpse.com/ncWP/?p=67342

MAGA Rep Believes that Convicted Sex Trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s Interview Exonerates Trump

Posted by on August 24, 2025 at 1:28 pm. 1 Comments :

The coordinated effort by the Cult of Donald Trump to deflect attention away from his unsavory relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has not been been going very well. Part of the reason for that is that they keep bringing it up again themselves. They seem to have an undeniable compulsion to yammer on about it regardless of how badly it reflects on their Herr Trump.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Jim Jordan

In an interview on Fox News, Ultra-MAGA GOP representative, Jim Jordan, entertained the ongoing scandal with a perspective that is utterly despicable and riddled with lies. Although it is also a perspective that is common among the MAGA faithful who revere Trump and can’t imagine that he would ever do anything untoward. Including affiliating himself positively with the most salacious and despicable cretins.

SEE THIS: Newsmax Host is ‘Impressed’ By Trump for Standing by ‘Innocent’ Pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell

The Jordan interview was rife with the sort of adoration afforded to aspiring messiahs. He insisted that he knew that “Trump didn’t do anything wrong here […] based on what we got from the interview of Ms. Maxwell.” And what better witness testimony can you get than that of a convicted sex offender who is hoping to get a pardon? Jordan went on to hail what Ghislaine Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, in a staged interview last week…

“They didn’t release parts of the transcript. They released the whole transcript. You can go through the whole thing And of course, this confirms what we all knew. If the president had done something wrong, you don’t think the Democrats would have released that? It was their Justice Department that handled all this. You don’t think the [former Attorney General Merrick] Garland Justice Department, or the Chris Wray FBI, would have released everything?”

Jordan on Ghislaine Maxwell Transcript: This confirms what we all knew: President Trump didn’t do anything wrong. This transcript confirms that. There’s nothing there based on this interview with Maxwell.

— Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social) 2025-08-24T00:17:23.360Z

Well then, that settles it. Epstein’s partner in crime says that Trump is as innocent as a child, which may not be the best metaphor in this case. Never mind that this interview was with Trump’s personal attorney who is now a top Justice Department official, or that Maxwell has a motive to lie given her desperation for a pardon or commutation from Trump.

So naturally, Maxwell wasn’t going to say anything that might jeopardize her hopes for getting out of prison, even the cushy Club Fed that Trump already moved her into. Instead, she told Blanche that “I never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” Which raises the question: What does a convicted pervert consider inappropriate?

What’s more, if Maxwell were to incriminate Trump, she wold also be incriminating herself. If she admitted that she witnessed Trump engaging in any unlawful acts, she would also be admitting that she witnessed those acts. No one expected her to confess such things in the interview with Blanche.

Furthermore, Jordan’s claims that this all occurred during the Democratic administration is a flagrant lie. Epstein was arrested in July of 2019. Maxwell was arrested a year later. Both were during Trump’s first occupation of the White House. And Jordan is projecting the legal malfeasance of the Republican Party onto Democrats by suggesting that Democrats would have released confidential evidence, just because that’s what Republicans would do.

Jordan, however, is more than satisfied with Maxwell’s assertions that Trump is innocent. He is willing to believe the testimony of a known perjurer if it exonerates his Dear Leader. Or more likely, he knows that she’s lying, but her lies align with his political aims, so he endorses them. Which is to be expected from someone who himself has been credibly accused of allowing sexual abuse to go on while he was an Ohio State University wrestling coach.

It is also notable that Fox News didn’t challenge anything that Jordan said. Why would they? They previously made the very same endorsements of the claims in Maxwell’s interview…

No one who is really interested in the truth was expecting any to be revealed in these interview transcripts. They are waiting for all of the files held by the Justice Department to be released. Which the Trump regime is still refusing to do. In the meantime, that creates the opportunity for liars like Jordan, and Attorney Genuflect Pam Bondi, and FBI Deflecter Kash Patel, and Trump himself, to continue their deception.

Unfortunately for them, the truth will eventually come out, and they will be forced to manufacture new scandals to divert attention from it. And political weasels like Jordan will jump aboard and embrace the new lies with vigor. It’s what they do.

The Trump Media and Technology Group (Truth Social) Scam Reflects His Fondness for Fraud

Posted by on August 5, 2025 at 1:08 pm. 2 Comments :

When Donald Trump launched his Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), he was brimming with optimism about the future of his new venture. Four years later that optimism has utterly failed to be affirmed. The business that runs Trump’s Truth Social website and a handful of other insolvent enterprises has never turned a profit.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

In 2024, TMTG reported a net loss of $400.9 million despite only booking revenue of $3.6 million. They reported a net loss of $31.7 million in the first quarter of 2025. Most recently, in the second quarter of 2025, the company reported a net loss of $20 million on only $883,300 in net sales.

However, none of that prevented Trump from making preposterous claims about his financial misadventures. During an interview on CNBC, Trump complained that he has been treated “very badly” by banks that he alleged were discriminating against him. Of course that might be because of the 34 felony convictions he has for defrauding banks. Not to mention a civil lawsuit finding of liability that cost him about half a billion dollars.

FOR THE RECORD: Trump was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to defraud banks. Maybe that had something to do with his trouble getting U.S. banks to do business with him. So he went to the Russians.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-08-05T16:07:51.546Z

Any reputable bank would be hard pressed to justify doing business with Trump who, in addition to the above, has filed at least four bankruptcies. As for TMTG, the week before his inauguration this year it was trading at about $43.00. Six months later it is under $17.00. A decline of more than 60%. During the same time period the S&P 500 rose more than 8%.

The only recent news for the company was its purchase of $2 billion worth of Bitcoin. Which is a major departure from its core media technology business to a sort of cryptocurrency treasury. TMTG had to raise funds from unnamed institutional investors to finance the purchase, which raises questions of conflicts of interest and and/or political bribery.

Meanwhile, Trump’s crypto meme coin, which he launched the day before his inauguration at $74.00, is now trading at about $9.00, a massive drop of 88%. Trump also signed legislation – the so-called GENIUS Act – that benefits his own investments in the crypto market. Nothing suspicious about that, is there?

Despite the economic debacles that Trump has presided over, he himself has managed to profit. He continues to be skillful at enriching himself while fleecing his flock of cult disciples. At the same time he is providing a path for interested parties to grease his palm for political favors. That includes adversarial foreign operatives who are buying influence, not investing.

The brief history of Trump’s involvement in the media, technology, and crypto businesses is rampant with failure and potential fraud. For instance…

Truth Social Parent Plans Desperate Share Buyback to Boost its Failing Stock and Enrich Trump
This is a tactic that is sometimes used to juice failing stocks. By reducing the shares available on the market, the remaining shares should be more valuable. That would mean an extraordinary leap in wealth for Trump who is the largest stakeholder

SRSLY? Trump Brags that His Pitifully Failing Meme Coin is a ‘Tracker’ of His Imaginary Success
Trump’s meme coin is hardly a game-changer. While it has generated a significant horde of untraceable cash for Trump, who paid nothing for his shares, it has been an abysmal loser for nearly everyone else who was foolish enough to invest in it.

Trump’s Truth Social is Creating ‘Non-Woke’ Investment Portfolios for MAGA Cult Investors/Dupes
The focus of the Trump investment portfolios rests on buzzwords plucked from his political rhetoric. And what could possibly have more income potential than “non-woke” enterprises that pursue the anti-democratic goals of the MAGA movement?

Truth Social, Trump’s Pathetic Personal Propaganda Platform, Continues to Bleed Cash
In what may be the least surprising news of the year so far, Donald Trump’s flagship social media enterprise, Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) – the parent holding company of his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social – released its annual report on Friday that revealed just how big a failure it is.

Trump’s Truth Social is Shedding Users Like a Miserable Childless Woman’s Mangy Cat
The Donald Trump-controlled Truth Social platform recorded its third straight month of declining traffic. Truth Social attracted 2,112,000 unique visitors, down 38% compared to June 2023 when the site generated 3,407,000 unique visitors. It was the platform’s second worst traffic performance since June 2022 when Truth Social had only 1,891,000 unique visitors.

Newsmax Host is ‘Impressed’ By Trump for Standing by ‘Innocent’ Pedophile Ghislaine Maxwell

Posted by on August 2, 2025 at 1:12 pm. 1 Comments :

The lengths that MAGA media will go to exalt Donald Trump seem to be stretching ever further into the stratosphere of slobbering sycophancy. When Trump said that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any support, many people thought it was a gross exaggeration for effect. It turns out he was understating the degree of worshipfulness that Trump’s cult followers are capable of.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Pervert

The continuing saga of Jeffrey Epstein and his unsavory relationship with Trump is proving to be revealing on many levels. It is showcasing Trump’s affinity for pedophiles, as well as his own perverse lechery. It is putting on display how brazenly he will lie and suppress any information that might expose his grotesque behavior. And it is giving the Trump-fluffing press endless opportunities to suck up to him while burying any potentially incriminating facts. Even so, he is not doing himself any favors.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Press Secretary, in a Rambling Defense, Fails to Say Trump is Not in the Epstein Files

Among the Trumpiest media venues is Newsmax, where its prime host, Greg Kelly, holds court every night to lavish praise on Dear Leader. And his fierce defense for Trump during the Epstein scandal is second-to-none for unabashed adoration. On Friday night’s program, Kelly addressed Trump’s tender feelings toward Epstein partner, and convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, to whom he had sent his “best wishes” when she was arrested.

More recently Trump was questioned about his Justice Department sending his former personal attorney, now Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, to interview Maxwell in prison. The inquiries included whether he would grant Maxwell a pardon. Instead of the rational and decent response – an unqualified “Hell no!” – Trump replied “Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon.” It was revealed shortly thereafter that the Trump regime had Maxwell transferred from the federal prison in Florida to a cushy, minimum security facility in Texas.

In the midst of these events Newsmax’s Kelly delivered a monologue that should produce a severe state of nausea in principled people. After this aberrent episode, the network might want to consider renaming itself “NewsMaxwell.” Kelly gushed…

“Oh boy. There he is again. Jeffrey Epstein…He pled guilty to that horrible, sick stuff. But that doesn’t mean that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty. And there is a hell of a lot of evidence out there that she’s innocent. And a hell of a lot of evidence that they railroaded her. Part of a “deep state,” hysterical media plot. And I don’t like it. And I don’t care if it’s unpopular. In fact, I’m really kind of impressed with Trump right now, that he won’t be boxed in when it comes to this story.”

This Newsmax freak is not only defending Trump, he's defending convicted child sex trafficker, and Jeffrey Epstein partner, Ghislaine Maxwell.Because if you're a Trump defender you are by default a pedophile defender.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-08-02T16:55:33.425Z

It’s true that Epstein’s crimes don’t mean that Maxwell is guilty. What makes Maxwell guilty is that she was convicted unanimously by a jury after considering the evidence and applying the law. Kelly’s assertion that there is “a lot of evidence out there that she is innocent” is pure garbage. And notably, he didn’t bother to cite any of that allegedly abundant evidence.

However, what really makes Kelly’s rant abhorrent is how he connects it to Trump. Kelly is “impressed” that Trump refuses to “be boxed in” simply because Maxwell was convicted on the strength of convincing documentary evidence and witness testimony against her. What courage Trump is showing in Kelly’s glassy-eyed view.

Much of the MAGA media shares Kelly’s perverse perspective. But they aren’t particularly confident about it. They are so afraid trying to support their position that have virtually banished most reporting about Maxwell and Epstein. For instance, this week Fox News spent only about 18 minutes reporting on Epstein, but 181 minutes on a Sydney Sweeney jeans advertisement.

Between Monday and Thursday, Fox News mentioned Sydney Sweeney 181 times, and Jeffrey Epstein 18 times.

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter.bsky.social) 2025-08-01T14:52:03.740Z

Meanwhile, Trump is busy making matters worse for himself. On another Newsmax program the same day, Trump was interviewed by Rob Finnerty. During that segment Trump described how much he lusts after his Propaganda Secretary, Karolina Leavitt. And if this doesn’t make your skin crawl, you might ant to consult a mental health professional…

OMG! "THOSE LIPS. THE WAY THEY MOVE!"Trump is letting the world see his grotesque lust for his 26 year old Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt.How can anyone watch this and not be creeped out by this wrinkled perv?

Trump’s Team Asks to Depose Rupert Murdoch Soon Because They’re Afraid He’ll Die Before Trial

Posted by on July 28, 2025 at 2:20 pm. 0 Comments :

The most litigious president in American history, Donald Trump, is at it again. His most recent lawsuit is a doozy that is aimed at his longtime propaganda purveyor, Rupert Murdoch, owner of the notoriously conservative Wall Street Journal, the ultra-rightist New York Post, and of course, the relentlessly Trump-fluffing Fox News.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Rupert Murdoch Donald Trump

Trump’s case against the Wall Street Journal is centered on his assertion of defamation when they published a story about a birthday greeting that Trump is said to have sent to his friend, and convicted child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein. Trump claims that the story is, of course, “fake news,” and he is seeking $10 billion in damages. And in the meantime, the Snowflake-in-Chief has banned the Journal from covering his press conferences.

SEE THIS: Scaredy Trump Kicks the Wall Street Journal Out of the Press Pool for His Next Junket Overseas

A new wrinkle in this case is a motion that Trump’s attorneys have filed seeking to expedite the deposition of Murdoch. The reason they give is a particularly morbid one. As reported by Deadline…

“Trump’s legal team is seeking Murdoch’s deposition because of his age, 94, citing that he ‘has suffered from multiple health issues throughout his life, is believed to have suffered recent significant health scares.'”

So Team Trump is asking the court to hurry up and approve their deposition before the “Dirty Digger” (as Murdoch is known) is dug six feet under. Trump’s vultures just can’t wait to put the screws to the sickly old media baron who they imply is on his last legs. That should be a fun interrogation for them, with Murdoch’s nurses in attendance.

What they aren’t mentioning is that the attorneys for Murdoch and the Journal are also going to have opportunities to depose Trump about his unsavory relationship with Epstein, with whom he was friends for 15 years. And as part of the discovery process, they will subpoena evidence and documents, including emails, texts, surveillance videos, phone calls, bank records, etc.

What’s more, Trump is mouthing off about his engagement with Epstein to reporters when he is supposed to be conducting diplomatic business. And as usual, due to his innate idiocy, he is doing himself more harm than good. During a press avail with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump drifted off into the Epstein affair and why he hasn’t released the files as he promised…

“I haven’t been overly interested in it. It’s a hoax that’s been built up way beyond proportion. I can say this: Those files were run by the worst scum on earth. They were run by Comey, they were run by Garland, they were run by Biden, and all of the people that actually run the government, including the autopen. Those files were run for four years by those people.

“If they had anything, I assume they would have released it. The whole thing is a hoax. They ran the files. I was running against somebody that ran the files. If they had something they would have released. Now, they can easily put something in the files that’s a phony […] But those files were run by bad, sick people. If they had anything why didn’t they use it when I was killing Joe.”

This is pretty good proof that Trump's name is all over the Epstein files, and he knows it. That's why he continues to refuse to release them.This is also cover for when they get released, he will just lie that they were altered.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-28T19:05:20.697Z

WOW! That’s some world-class derangement on display. To begin with, it’s preposterous for Trump to say that he hasn’t been interested in the Epstein matter. It’s virtually all he’s been interested in. He’s having his Justice Department investigate it, including interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell in prison, and providing her limited immunity to talk.

In addition, virtually everything else he talks about is a transparent deflection from the Epstein issue. Including a bizarre and totally fictional accusation that President Obama had committed treason for trying to change intelligence reports related to Russia’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 election. And Trump regards President Biden and James Comey as “the worst scum on earth,” not pedophiles, or dictators, or drug cartels, or terrorists.

MORE HERE: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

Furthermore, Trump is fabricating excuses about the files being altered. It’s a ridiculous excuse to suggest that Biden and his team went to that trouble and then never used the allegedly altered files against Trump. And if they were altered, he would have the evidence of it and could use it to prosecute Biden and company. You’d think he would be anxious to get that rolling.

Finally, when Trump claims that “If they had something they would have released it,” raises this obvious question: If there is nothing incriminating about Trump in the files, why wouldn’t he release them? An innocent man would want exculpatory documents to made public ASAP. Clearly Trump knows that these files would hurt him, so he must suppress them.

In the same press gaggle…

  • Trump said that he “turned down” the “privilege” of visiting Epstein Island. And, yes, he called it a privilege. Which suggests that he knew what was going on there, but never reported it to authorities. He allowed the girls to continue being victimized.
  • Trump kept open the prospect of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, but only after she testifies, and if she exonerates him.

All of this proves that Trump remains the single best source for incriminating evidence against himself. He can’t stop talking – and lying – about Epstein. And if the Wall Street Journal stands firm in defense of their reporting, Trump is going to have another load of legal liabilities dumped in his lap. Consequently, no one is more hopeful that the court allows the expedited deposition than Democrats, other Trump foes, and the popcorn lobby.

Pentagon IG: Pete Hegseth Disclosed Classified Info During His Signal Chat – Fox News Buries It

Posted by on July 25, 2025 at 1:24 pm. 0 Comments :

The fate of the Defense Secretary that Donald Trump plucked from Fox News is becoming more untenable with every day that he is tainting that noble office. Pete Hegseth was never qualified to run a toy soldier parade, much less the largest bureaucracy in the United States government. And particularly one that bears such consequential burdens for national security.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Pete Hegseth with Drunk Emoji

Shortly after Hegseth was confirmed by a Republican Senate that is blindly compliant to Dear Leader Trump, Hegseth was caught engaging in a dialog with his defense and intelligence comrades using the Signal app, a commercial chat program that was not capable of maintaining secure communications. The chat included the Vice-President, JD Vance, the Director of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, the National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, and others. During that meeting Hegseth revealed the specific plans for a military attack on Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

SEE THIS: SIGNALGATE: How Fox News Fouled Up the War Planning Chat Scandal Was More Cover-Up than Coverage

Hegseth vehemently denied that any classified information was disclosed during the chat. And Trump dismissed the whole affair by pretending that he was blissfully ignorant (which is believable) saying that, “I know nothing about it. […] You’re telling me about it for the first time.”

However, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Hegseth, Trump, and everyone else involved have been lying. It is now being reported that the Pentagon Inspector General confirmed that the plans Hegseth blabbed came from a classified email that was, in fact, labeled “SECRET!” This alarming breach of security was even reported by Fox News…

“Multiple officials tell Fox News the Pentagon’s inspector general has received evidence that the U.S. military strike plans shared by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over Signal derived from a classified email labeled ‘SECRET/NOFORN,’ which stands for no foreign nationals should see it. That was first reported by The Washington Post. Fox is also told the inspector general received the classified email with markings early in its investigation, which began in April.

“Secretary Hegseth’s team is responding. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell says in a statement to Fox, in part, ‘The Department stands behind its previous statements: no classified information was shared via Signal.'”

Fox News has **confirmed** reports from other outlets that the Pentagon’s watchdog has learned information in his Signal texts came from a classified email.This 40-second headline read is the entirety of the network's coverage of the story.

— Matthew Gertz (@mattgertz.bsky.social) 2025-07-25T15:39:05.223Z

So this dangerous misconduct by Hegseth was confirmed by the Inspector General of the Defense Department that he supposedly runs. And this revelation also confirms that Hegseth and his cohorts lied about it when originally asked to respond. All of that would be sufficient result in his resignation or termination under normal circumstances. Needless to say, normality is not something that is associated with the Trump administration.

What’s more, while it is notable that Fox News actually reported this scandal, no one should give them any credit for it. Because the brief mention above is the only one to date that Fox News has aired. Even though Trump’s Cabinet members, including Hegseth, are on Fox News more often than ads for Ozempic, none of them been asked to comment on this.

There are a lot of stories in this news cycle about Trump, including those about his relationship with child sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein; his “Big Ugly Billionaire’s Budget Act” (BUBBA), that will throw millions of Americans off of their health insurance plans, fund ICE as the nation’s largest law enforcement agency, and explode the National debt; his recessionary, tariff-drive economic agenda; and his weaponization of the Justice Department that has accused President Obama of treason.

MORE HERE: Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

But no story exposes the potential for greater harm than the betrayal of America’s military and intelligence operations around the world. And if Hegseth (and Vance, Gabbard, Ratcliff, and Waltz) survives this ghastly behavior, than there is literally nothing that can be excluded from the atrocities that Trump might engage in.

Trump’s DNI and Fox News Manufacture a New Crackpot Conspiracy Theory Accusing Obama of Treason

Posted by on July 19, 2025 at 1:48 pm. 3 Comments :

The Propaganda and Deflection Office of Donald Trump’s White House is working overtime trying to draw attention away from Trump’s salacious relationship with convicted pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. To that end Trump has been furiously fomenting alternative “scandals” with which to occupy the minds of his cult followers and the compliant media.

Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin

Among the shiny objects that Trump is dangling before the gullible are his utterly meritless lawsuit against his buddy Rupert Murdoch and the Wall Street Journal, his attacks on Federal Reserve Chairman, Jerome Powell, his pretending that he forced Coke to change their ingredients, and his unbridled ecstasy from the firing of comedy legend Stephen Colbert.

Much to Trump’s dismay, none of those valiant attempts at misdirection succeeded in diverting the public from the infinitely more compelling saga of Trump and Epstein. Especially since he keeps juicing the story with more obvious lies that only make him look more afraid and guilty.

Consequently, Trump is floating yet another diversion in order to take the heat off of his potentially criminal lechery. He has ordered his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, to launch a set of dubious allegations aimed at former President Barack Obama regarding the factual history of Trump’s unsavory association with Russia. And Gabbard was the perfect choice to field queries about Trump’s Russia ties, considering her own long held sympathies for Russia and Kremlin propaganda.

Ever obedient, Gabbard called her comrades at Fox News to unload a steaming pile of political manure. Whereupon, Fox News reported that…

“The Obama administration ‘manufactured and politicized intelligence’ to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise, Fox News Digital has learned.

“On Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents revealing ‘overwhelming evidence’ that demonstrates how, after President Donald Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, then-President Barack Obama and his national security team laid the groundwork for what would be the years-long Trump–Russia collusion probe.”

Naturally, the story on Fox News, based solely on Gabbard’s “evidence” is flagrantly fictional. They went on to quote Gabbard, or her agents, alleging that President Obama had his Intelligence aides alter their reports regarding how Russia tried to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. According to Fox, Gabbard noted the following from Obama’s Intel…

“‘We assess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure,’ the Presidential Daily Brief stated.”

From that statement, Gabbard and Fox News attached an analysis concluding that Obama ordered the Intel Community to falsify their reports, asserting that Russia never actually interfered with the election at all. It was all, as Trump would say, a “HOAX!” But for some reason, Trump never bothered to reveal this hoax during his first four year occupation of the white House, or during his reelection campaign against President Biden that he lost.

Furthermore, what Gabbard is alleging is not what the documents she provided actually say. They only say that Russia was not successful in trying to alter the outcome of the election – they “did not impact recent US election results” – not that they didn’t try to do so. And on the basis of those misrepresentations, both Gabbard and Fox News lied that after “investigating the matter for months…”

“…their conclusions ‘clearly shows there was a treasonous conspiracy in 2016.’ And that ‘every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted.’

However, there was no such conspiracy shown, treasonous or otherwise, in Gabbard’s documents. Nevertheless, Gabbard is accusing Obama of a capital crime that would result in his execution if found guilty. And she is including several other Obama administration officials in that accusation, including DNI James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Secretary of State John Kerry, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe. If they get their way, Trump’s Death Row in his political gulag is gonna be crowded.

Fox News amplified these abhorrent allegations with segments on multiple programs including Sean Hannity and Fox and Friends. The segment that aired on the Jesse Watters program is typical of the dishonesty that they are disseminating. Watters said that…

“We just got a peek inside Obama’s black book and it turns out Barack knew the Russia hoax was a hoax all along but pushed it anyway to sabotage the Trump presidency. DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassifying pages and pages of documents showing Obama’s intel guys briefed him just weeks after the 2016 election that the Russians didn’t actually sway the election [and that Obama] instructed intel agencies to cook up new reports to support Russia collusion.”

Once again, the actual reports said plainly that Russia did try to interfere with the election, not that they succeeded in changing the outcome. And despite her hyperbolic ranting, that’s what Gabbard’s declassified documents said as well. The spin by Gabbard and Fox News – that factual assertions of Russian interference were a hoax, and that Obama had the reports altered – is downright bizarre and grossly defamatory.

That view was shared by by the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee that investigated all of this five years ago. The acting chairman of that committee was Marco Rubio, who is now Trump’s Secretary of State. The bipartisan Committee report said that…

“…the Russian government engaged in an aggressive, multifaceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. […] The fifth and final volume focuses on the counterintelligence threat, outlining a wide range of Russian efforts to influence the Trump Campaign and the 2016 election.” […]

“Moscow’s intent was to harm the Clinton Campaign, tarnish an expected Clinton presidential administration, help the Trump Campaign after Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee, and undermine the U.S. democratic process.”

These new allegations are another example of Trump weaponizing the Intelligence agencies over which he presides. Which he is also doing with his Justice, Homeland Security, Treasury, State, and other administration Departments. But it’s even worse than that. He is openly advocating for the execution of his political foes. His remarks on these matters was to say that “I think they’re crooked as hell. And, maybe they have to pay a price for that. I believe they are truly bad people and dishonest people. So, whatever happens, happens.”

If that doesn’t convince his supporters that he is a sociopathic fascist and aspiring authoritarian, in the mold of his heroes Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, nothing will. But for the rest of the American people, this new scandal/deflection makes it all the more imperative to remove Trump from office before he can do more damage.

UPDATE: Trump and his MAGA cronies are pulling out all the stops to promote this phony conspiracy. He posted a frantic blast of ten new comments about it on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, including one citing it as “treasonous.” They consist mostly of links to Fox News and Breitbart, and this poster created by Gabbard’s crew that is nothing but wild innuendos leading to inane conclusions…

Trump’s Press Secretary, in a Rambling Defense, Fails to Say Trump is Not in the Epstein Files

Posted by on July 17, 2025 at 1:32 pm. 2 Comments :

AND THE PLOT SICKENS… Much to the dismay pf Donald Trump, the scandalous Jeffrey Epstein affair refuses to go away. Not that he and his White House cronies aren’t making a valiant effort to bury the story. For the past couple of weeks they have alternately claimed that the Epstein files would send many Democrats to prison; or that they don’t exist; or that they exist but were made up by Democrats, who then didn’t bother to use them. And that’s just for starters.

Donald Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

The Trumpy excuses continued with claims that there is nothing significant in the files. But that the Democrats altered them, which would be illegal, but Trump and company still won’t release them, even to incriminate the Democrats. It all makes perfect sense – if you’re high on acid. And now Trump is outraged that his cult won’t STFU about the “bullsh*t” Epstein “hoax,” despite his demands that they do so. So he’s calling them “stupid,” “weaklings,” whose support he no longer wants. Never mind that it was a scandal manufactured and spread by Trump and his devotees in the first place.

SEE THIS: Trump Says He Doesn’t Want His Past ‘Weakling’ Supporters Who Bought Into the ‘BS’ Epstein Hoax

This brings us to the next chapter in the Trump/Epstein soap opera. It stars Trump’s Secretary of Propaganda, Karoline Leavitt, who took some questions from the White House press corps, who still want Trump to come clean for once. And that includes this question from – of all people – Fox News White House correspondent, Jacqui Heinrich. She brought up Trump’s assertion that the Epstein files are a hoax, and asked “Which part of the “Epstein Hoax” is the hoax part?” Leavitt replied…

“The president is referring to the fact Democrats have now seized on this. As if they ever wanted transparency when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. Which is an asinine suggestion for any Democrat to make. The Democrats had control of this building, the White House, for four years, And they didn’t do a dang thing when it came to transparency in regards to Jeffrey Epstein and his heinous crimes. It was this president who directed the Department of Justice and the Attorney General to do an exhaustive review of all files relating to Jeffrey Epstein. Which they did.”

Notice that what Leavitt is describing as the “hoax part” is the role that she says Democrats have played in the quest for Trump to release the information held by his Justice Department. She did not say that any allegations that Trump is on Epstein’s client list, or that he participated in the pedophile activity, are a hoax. That’s quite a damning omission. Are we now to assume that those things are true? Also, it isn’t just Democrats who have “seized” on this issue. In fact, it’s mostly Trump’s own cult disciples.

Leavitt’s explanation of the alleged transparency of the Trump regime is also an incoherent mess. If Democrats altered the documents in order to frame Trump, as Trump claims, why would they then withhold those documents? And if the Justice Department did “an exhaustive review,” as Leavitt claims, why would Trump refuse to release the documents following that review? Leavitt later added that…

“The Attorney General and the FBI, led by Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino, Kash Patel. These are great patriots. Some of the most trusted voices in the Republican Party movement. It’s part of the reason the president appointed them to these high law enforcement positions.”

Notice that Leavitt praises them as “trusted voices in the Republican Party movement,” not trusted voices in America, or in law enforcement. Her description of them as blatantly partisan makes them entirely inappropriate for the positions that Trump gave them. Then Leavitt closed by saying that…

“The president has been transparent. He has followed through on his promises to the American people. But he doesn’t like to see Democrats and the mainstream media covering this like it’s the biggest story the American people care about.”

Leavitt: "The president doesn't like to see Democrats and the mainstream media covering [Epstein] like it's the biggest story the American people care about. The president has been working so hard this week."

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-07-17T17:56:48.641Z

First of all, Trump, by definition, has not been transparent, because he refuses to release the files. Secondly, he hasn’t kept his promises to the American people, because he promised to release the files. And finally, it’s no wonder that he doesn’t like to see the media covering this issue, because he knows what is in those files, which probably has something to do with why he refuses to release them. So maybe Trump should – oh, I don’t know – release the files? And maybe Leavitt should stop lying, for a change.

Trump Says He Doesn’t Want His Past ‘Weakling’ Supporters Who Bought Into the ‘BS’ Epstein Hoax

Posted by on July 16, 2025 at 1:03 pm. 0 Comments :

The raging animosity that is a permanent feature of Donald Trump’s alleged personality has been observed in his frequent, infantile insults aimed at his innumerable, perceived foes. He simply isn’t capable of keeping a cool head when he is criticized. And the result is a tsunami of invective and seething hatred toward those he regards as traitors, or even those who are not sufficiently worshipful.

Donald Trump, Fox News, QAnon

Betraying Dear Leader is an unforgivable sin. Should you be designated as unfaithful, you will be subjected to his hysterical wrath. That outpouring of punitive vengeance applies to anyone that crosses Trump, including his own staff and billionaire donors. Just ask Elon Musk.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Dictator Trump Threatens ‘Serious Consequences’ If Musk Donates to Democrats

Now Trump has extended the scope of his rabid revenge-seeking to include his MAGA supporters that refuse to obey his commands to stop talking about his longtime friend, Jeffrey Epstein. Trump’s decree to STFU about Epstein has been ignored by many in the MAGA cult who were previously ordered to believe and promulgate the charges about Epstein and to insist that all of the government data on him be released. It was, after all, a scandal manufactured and spread by Trump and his devotees in the first place.

Now that the most plausible speculation about who might be implicated in the sexual crimes and deviancy of Epstein points to Trump, the Abuser-in-Chief is whistling a different tune. Consequently, those that Trump had coerced into disseminating his conspiracy theories must now reverse course and let the whole matter slide into nothingness as if it were just a bad dream. Trump posted a comment on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, in which he has disavowed his once loyal cult disciples.

The whole post was an interminably long and incoherent screed that obsesses over past “scandals” that Trump can’t quit ranting about. And despite his complaint that the Epstein affair should be forgotten because he “died a long time ago” (six years), he’s still fixated on a bunch of things that are even older.

Trump began by writing that “The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again!” Then he rattled off a series of his standard whining about nonsense from the past, including what he called “the fully discredited Steele Dossier, lying 51 ‘Intelligence’ Agents, the Laptop from Hell, the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, and Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss.” None of which comports with reality. Then he dropped this bomb on his cult…

“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker. […] I don’t want their support anymore!”

So according to Trump everyone should stop talking about the Epstein files because they don’t exist. But also, his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, should release the credible files that don’t exist. But also, they were created by Obama and Biden and Comey, and still shouldn’t be released to prove that charge. But also, they are a hoax that is only believed by the fake news and his stupid, “weakling” supporters. And Trump reiterated some those deranged thoughts during a press avail Wednesday morning…

Let's try to follow Trump's logic here:He says the Epstein files were "made up" by Comey, Obama, and Biden who never used them, and still won't release their copies.Meanwhile, Trump could release these made up files and incriminate those who made them up. But he won't.

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-16T10:19:10.934Z

Now that Trump is blowing off his own supporters, will they rollback their devotion to him as their messiah? Will they accept that he is sexual predator who was adjudicated as a rapist and been accused by a couple of dozen women of abuse? Will they at least acknowledge that he doesn’t have divine infallibility? In other words, will his insulting and disowning them release them from the spell of the cult? Stay tuned.

Trump’s Press Secretary Lies to Fox News About the Now Nonexistent Epstein Client List

Posted by on July 7, 2025 at 1:44 pm. 0 Comments :

The 2024 presidential campaign of Donald Trump was a cornucopia of conspiracy theories. Prominent among them were the allegations related to convicted sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein, and a reputed “client list” containing the names of people who allegedly participated in his criminal pedophilia parties.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump and Karoline Leavitt

The mysterious list was said to include Trump, who was known to have been a longtime friend of Epstein, and had been a passenger on his private jet, the “Lolita Express.” “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years,” Trump told New York Magazine in 2002. “Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” This is consistent with the behavior of Trump, who was found liable in a civil lawsuit for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll.

The Epstein client list reentered the news cycle on Monday morning when Trump’s Propaganda Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, responded to a question from Fox News White House correspondent, Peter Doocy…

Doocy: The FBI looked at the circumstances surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, ‘this systematic review reveals no incriminating client list.’ So, what happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?”
Leavitt: I think if you go back and look at what the Attorney General said in that interview, which was on your network — on Fox News…
Doocy: I’ve got the quote. John Roberts said, ‘DOJ may be releasing a list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients. Will that really happen?’ And she said, ‘it’s sitting on my desk right now to review.’ Why?
Leavitt: She was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork — all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes – that’s what the Attorney General was referring to, and I will let her speak for that. But when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars.

DOOCY: The report says there's no Epstein client list. So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on desk?LEAVITT: She was saying the entirety of all the paperwork was on her desk

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2025-07-07T17:44:09.501Z

The report that Doocy was referring to was from Axios, who published an article revealing that the current heads of Trump’s Justice Department regime – Pam Bondi (Attorney General), Kash Patel (FBI director), and Dan Bongino (FBI deputy director) – are now denying that any Epstein client list ever existed. According to Axios…

“Trump’s Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a ‘client list’ or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.”

That’s a peculiar conclusion considering that Bondi had explicitly said that she had the actual list on her desk and was reviewing it. Doocy pointed that out to Leavitt, who abruptly switched into reality distortion mode to claim that Bondi was referring to “the entirety of all of the paperwork [on] Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.” Which was clearly not what she was referring to. For reference, here is the video of Bondi on Fox News in February, and her exchange with Roberts saying…

Roberts: DoJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients? Will that really happen?
Bondi: It’s sitting on my desk right now to review. That’s been a directive by president Trump.

Trump's AG, Pam Bondi, needs to explain how the Epstein client list was on her desk in February, and she was reviewing it "at the directive of the president," but now says that it doesn't exist.Where did it go, Pam? Did Trump, for some reason, direct you to make it disappear?

— News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social) 2025-07-07T16:15:36.697Z

The media needs to hold both Leavitt and Bondi accountable for their statements. Leavitt needs to explain why she lied about what Bondi said about having the list on her desk. Bondi needs to explain how the list was on her desk in February, but now says that it doesn’t exist. And Trump needs to explain why his prior promises to release everything about his friend Epstein have gone unfulfilled.

Trump cannot complain that the “Deep State” is suppressing the truth. All of his own appointees are in the positions responsible for releasing all of the information. So who is he trying to protect? You get one guess.
