Trump's Slovenian wife kinda wiped out this TRUMP-EPSTEIN
distraction, so now he's gonna make it worse.

Well seeing as a number of victims, remember them, have come forward
and claimed Trump was not involved, along with Bill Clinton saying the same, you leftist idiots are going to have a long road ahead.

Clinton isn't censoring the Epstein files.
Neither are the victims.
Only Trump.

Why is that?

How do you know?

The Washington Post also reported that Russian intelligence
operatives proposed a staged assassination attempt on Orbán to
motivate his supporters, once it became clear Magyar was
leading the polls.

The Guardian has found that other disinformation networks with
links to Russia, known as Operation Overload and Storm-1516,
are also publishing content on platforms such as YouTube and X
aimed at undermining the credibility of Magyar’s Tisza party
and accusing Ukraine of meddling in the elections.

Why is that?

How do you know?

Because Clinton has called for them all to be released:

'"We do not know whom, what or why," Ureña [spokesperson for Bill
Clinton] wrote. "But we do know this: We need no such protection.”

"Accordingly, we call on President Trump to direct Attorney General
Bondi to immediately release any remaining materials referring to,
mentioning, or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton," Ureña added.'

Nope.

It's about proving things with negatives.

Even if some victims have come forward and said that Trump was not
involved...

(I'd like to see those quotes, BTW)

So we are to believe that the same DOJ that Biden weaponized against Trump, illegally,
all of a sudden had actually following the law as their primary objective?

Give me a break.

They lied about everything else so why not about this?

MAGA Is Increasingly Convinced the Trump Assassination Attempt Was Staged Conspiracy theories about the Butler, Pennsylvania, shooting have ramped up
in recent weeks as once steadfast Trump supporters turn on the president.

In recent weeks, as criticism of President Donald Trump from his own supporters has reached a fever pitch, a new conspiracy theory has taken
hold: Some of the president's biggest supporters are now claiming, without evidence, that Trump staged the assassination attempt on his life in
Butler, Pennsylvania in 2024 and is covering it up.
During an open-air campaign rally on July 13, 2024, Trump survived an attempted assassination when a bullet fired by a 20-year-old on a roof
nearby clipped the top of his ear. Corey Comperatore, a Trump supporter sitting near the president, was shot and killed. The shooter was later
killed by Secret Service agents. Conspiracy theories around the Butler assassination quickly permeated the internet, but for many Trump
supporters, his survival was seen as a sign from God that he was the chosen one.
As Trump's hold over MAGA has waned, though, an increasing number of his supporters have begun to push the narrative that the entire incident was staged.

"I think that maybe it was staged, " Tim Dillon said on his show last
weekend about the assassination attempt. Dillon, who was previously a
staunch Trump supporter, went on to share that Trump should now come out
and say, "Some people are going to be upset by this, but we staged the assassination attempt in Butler to show people how important it was to vote for me and how far I was willing to go for them. "
Some of these claims began months ago. In November, former Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson promoted the idea that the FBI was somehow involved in
covering up the shooting, writing on X that the "FBI lied" about the
shooter's online footprint.
A day later, conservative pundit Emerald Robinson went further, posting on
X that the FBI "did it. " (In the same post, Robinson claimed that the
agency was responsible for everything from the January 6 attack on the
Capitol to "Jeffrey Epstein's blackmail tapes" and the "Gov. Whitmer fake kidnap plot. ")
But the claims that Trump had staged the entire thing really picked up
steam when former US National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent appeared on Carlson's podcast last month, one day after he resigned from
his position over the Iran war.
During the interview, Carlson and Kent discussed the failure of the Trump administration to provide more details about the Pennsylvania shooter. Kent claimed, without providing any evidence, that investigations into the
shooting had been shut down before they finished.
Kent also claimed that this vacuum of information about the incident would lead to more conspiracy theories. "If you don't want to address that
question, then you just go silent and say you can't ask that question, " he said. "Which then creates people who come out of nowhere and they start drawing their own conclusions. " (This is in fact, experts say, one basic dynamic behind conspiracy theorizing. )
"If you cannot look at this story and use critical thinking skills and have
at least some questions, you are the problem and we need you to snap out of it, " Trisha Hope, a GOP national delegate from Texas and former Trump supporter, posted on X about Butler this week.
On Telegram, prominent QAnon promoter MJ Truth asked his 100,000 followers: "How does everyone feel about the narrative surrounding the Butler Assassination Attempt on Trump? "
The overwhelming majority of the hundreds of replies, almost all of whom remain Trump supporters, said they believed the incident had been staged
and that the truth may never come out. "The truth will come out 60+ years
from now when we're all dead and nobody really cares anymore ... just like JFK! ! ! ! , " one follower wrote.


Many claims about the Butler conspiracy theory have also involved
discussion of the Israeli government's purported control over the US government that strongly echo classical antisemitism. In a monologue posted
on his channel last week, Carlson questioned why Israel had "so much
control over our government" and claimed that "one of the clues is the
Butler shooting" and that the Trump's administration's failure to
investigate the incident indicated the level of Israel's control.
This allegation was then echoed by Candace Owens, another prominent MAGA figure, who claimed in a recent podcast that Israeli-American political
donor Miriam Adelson was actually behind the attempted assassination. Owens claimed that Trump had taken $100 million from her in donations, but had
not followed through on his promise to then support Israel's annexation of
the West Bank, and that this was the reason for the attempted
assassination. Owens further suggested that this was also the reason Trump never really investigated the assassination properly when he became
president.
Ali Alexander, the far-right activist who organized the Stop the Steal campaign in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, has a slightly different take on the assassination, claiming instead that it was further evidence that Trump is the Antichrist, something many MAGA figures have
also been considering this week.
"To be clear: if Donald Trump didn't receive a miracle, then it was
deception or a dark sign, " Alexander wrote in a five-page PDF he posted to his Telegram channel on Tuesday evening. "There is biblical prophecy in Revelation 13:3 apparently about the Antichrist being struck on the head. "
The passage in question actually reads: "I saw that one of its heads seemed
to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed.
Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast. "
While the vast majority of people discussing conspiracy theories about the shooting today are Trump supporters or former Trump supporters, in the
hours and days after the shooting, it was left wing so-called Blue Anon accounts pushing the claims that the shooting was staged, suggesting it was all orchestrated by the Secret Service and that Trump had used blood gel
packs in an attempt to draw sympathy and votes.

What brings you here today while most of the other "liberals" are hiding >>> from the $80 per tank Brent crude price?

It's hilarious to see the excuses the libtards use to defend
Biden not releasing the Epstein files.

So we are to believe that the same DOJ that Biden weaponized
against Trump, illegally, all of a sudden had actually
following the law as their primary objective?

How did Biden "weaponize" the DoJ against Trump?

Be specific.

On the contrary, Merrick Garland (not beholden to Biden) held back
on indicting Trump so long that it was almost rendered moot.
Then Aileen Cannon slow-walked it, and finally quashed it all.

Trump should have been tried, convicted, and imprisoned.
