Mike Johnson: The Biden administration had access to the Epstein files for 4 years. Why didn't they release them?

Gosh Mike, it sounds like you're aknowledging that trump and others running on a promise to release everything to mollify Qanon Magas was a mistake......

Wait, what?
Hegseth/DOD are now saying they never demanded news outlets sign a pledge to only report "approved" news.
They simply meant to communicate their preferred policy

Knock me over with a feather......
Lisa Murkowski said today she could understand Dems' lack of trust. She added (paraphrased)...why should they trust us when Russell Vought goes around rescinding expenditures we all agreed on and passed before?

Over 3 months after. In fact, I'm pretty sure Smith was still a prosecutor in the Hague at the time.

Gym Jordan is calling on Jack Smith to testify behind closed doors to the Judiciary Committee by Oct. 28th......

IMHO, Smith should absolutely agree to testify ONLY in a public hearing.....

I think that'll shut Jordan up real quick.

No mistake about it......
Hegseth demanding DOD covering journalists sign a pledge to only release approved "news" is primarily to keep them from demanding proof to justify the extrajudicial killings in open waters
(another killed 6 people this morning)

The closer we get to this Saturday, the more obviously Republicans are scared sh*tless of the No Kings Protests.....
I hope we blow WAY past the millions who turned out for the 1st one.....

Did you hear the one where Eric trump, yammering like a coked up squirrel all weekend, claimed Jack Smith, during the Mar A Lago search, planted manila folders in his father's office?

The only problem is that Smith wasn't appointed Special Councel till THREE MONTHS after the search
😜😜😜😜😜

Watching Meloni & Starmer as trump is speaking his gibberish reminds me of my West Point roommate who over 50 yrs ago said during an inspection…
“I ain’t had this much fun since the pigs ate my brother”

From the bottom of my heart I want to thank whomever arranged for Italian PM Giorgia Meloni to be directly behind trump at this speech.
I would LOVE to know what's going through her mind while this dementia afflicted meglomanical moron is yammering on and on and on
