What dark aspects of Donald Trump's past are resurfacing?
.
donald trump's depraved dark past is surfacing and donald trump is freaking out and trying to cover up so donald trump goes to his old playbook who does he bring in bill barr his former attorney general who covered up the mueller report and put out all of those lies to preempt the muller report bill barr who found out about egregious behavior of donald trump in italy and then covered that up and squashed The investigations arising out of the Mueller report. Yep. Bill Barr penned an op ed in the Wall Street Journal defending Donald Trump and the DOJ. Donald Trump going right into his old playbook. I'll talk about that. in a moment but part of that playbook again the utter deceit and treachery and double speak of the authoritarian while donald trump and his doj are clearly covering up right now a child sex trafficking ring folks these are pedo protectors donald trump and the entire maga gop
you know what donald trump did at the end of this week and what he posted he posted that he signed into law a trafficking survivor's relief act while he's covering up a child sex trafficking ring notably he did not hold a press conference for the signing of this law which he's done uh every other uh major law that he signed and this is a major one But notice there was no press around this one. It was a bipartisan bill, the Trafficking Survivors Relief Act that he signed. But he did post it on social media. He goes from the White House account. President Trump has signed the Trafficking Survivors Relief Act to help victims of human trafficking reclaim their lives. This law allows victims to file motions to vacate their convictions and expunge their arrest records for certain criminal offenses.
I think we all view that law as something positive, but the fact that Donald Trump is using it to say, look, I'm Stan with the victims of sex trafficking while he's covering up a child sex trafficking ring is utterly despicable in my mind. Also, you have California Governor Gavin Newsom as Donald Trump was attacking him, posting this AI image of Donald Trump signing that 50th birthday letter that Donald Trump signed for Jeffrey Epstein back in 2003 that the Wall Street Journal reported on. But talking about the Wall Street Journal, just still owned by Rupert Murdoch, you have Bill Barr, Donald Trump's former attorney general, wrote the following op-ed to help Donald Trump cover up his dark past.
This is what Bill Barr just published on Friday. Why Pam Bondi didn't publish all the Epstein files in 30 days? The answer is simple. It was not possible. Let me read for you what Bill Barr says, and then let me very quickly debunk it for you. Bill Barr goes, House Democrats aided by a handful of misguided Republicans forced passage of the Epstein Transparency Act in November. Let's pause there. Misguided? What is misguided about the fact that the Trump regime said they would release the files immediately? they said they were on pam bondi's desk back in february they had 1 000 doj and fbi officials working overtime i might add from march to may claiming they were reviewing the files and then they lied about it to try to cover it all up what what is misguided about transparency when it comes to child sex trafficking bill barr
Then Bill Barr goes, the statute, by the way, didn't Bill Barr's dad was like the dean of the school where Epstein worked at?
How is Bill Barr involved in Trump's current legal strategy?
Anyway, Bill Barr goes on to say, the statute directed Attorney General to release publicly an electronic form with certain redactions, all unclassified materials related to the Jeffrey Epstein case within 30 days. This has required review of more than 5 million pages of material. In linear feet, more than three times the height of the Washington Monument. Ms. Bondi and her team at the Justice Department have done a commendable job. Contrary to the fulmination of critics, they have faithfully implemented the laws as expeditiously as possible, given the Herculean effort involved. They've released 1%. they could be releasing documents on what's called a rolling basis in batches of 50,000 or 100,000 as they review 50, make the redactions, make it public.
