---Justice Department Told Trump in May That His Name Is Among Many in the Epstein Files---

https://www.wsj.com/politics/justice-department-told-trump-name-in-epstein-files-727a8038

When Justice Department officials reviewed what Attorney General Pam Bondi called a “truckload” of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, they discovered that Donald Trump’s name appeared multiple times, according to senior administration officials.

In May, Bondi and her deputy informed the president at a meeting in the White House that his name was in the Epstein files, the officials said. Many other high-profile figures were also named, Trump was told. Being mentioned in the records isn’t a sign of wrongdoing.

Bondi also told president at the meeting that Justice decided to not release more Jeffrey Epstein documents because of the presence of chi1d po*nogra**y and the need to protect victims. Trump said last week in response to a journalist’s question that Bondi hadn’t told him that his name was in the files.
Total bullshiting. The media coverage of Epstein is only on Trump. Why won't the media tell us what went down in his island, where there were young girls in addition to dirty old rich men all year round.

---The John Durham special counsel which was appointed by Bill Barr in 2019, took 4 years and didn't mentioned anything to link Obama---where did Tulsi Gabbard suddenly found new evidences---

Special counsel John Durham found no evidence that the US justice department and the FBI conspired in a deep-state plot to investigate Donald Trump’s ties to Russia in 2016, though the report released on Monday found that the FBI’s handling of key aspects of the case was deficient.

The Durham report was sharply critical of how the FBI decided to open the counterintelligence investigation into Trump, known as “Crossfire Hurricane”, accusing top officials at the bureau of relying on raw and uncorroborated information to continue the inquiry.

The final report by special prosecutor John Durham is photographed Monday, May 15, 2023. Durham ended his four-year investigation into possible FBI misconduct in its probe of ties between Russia and Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. The report offers withering criticism of the bureau but a meager court record that fell far short of the former president's prediction he would uncover the "crime of the century."

WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Justice announced the formation of a Strike Force to assess the evidence publicized by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and investigate potential next legal steps which might stem from DNI Gabbard’s disclosures.

This Department takes alleged weaponization of the intelligence community with the utmost seriousness.

Upon the formation of the Strike Force, Attorney General Pamela Bondi stated:

“The Department of Justice is proud to work with my friend Director Gabbard and we are grateful for her partnership in delivering accountability for the American people. We will investigate these troubling disclosures fully and leave no stone unturned to deliver justice.”

Suicide.

Remember that there was an incident prior to the death. If someone wanted him dead, they would have succeeded the first time.

What about Ghislaine Maxwell? Why is she still alive? Don't you think she knows exactly what Epstein knew that could lead people to want to kill him? So why hasn't she been murdered yet?
Republicans have subpoenad her to testify to a house committee. The fools went in recess for five weeks before voting on Epstein file release. Don't know whether the House Committee will sit.
Deputy AG has also indicated he will go talk to her in prison , see what evidence she can provide.
She wants to talk... Meaning she gets a pardon and lifetime witness protection..

Putin had blackmail material on Hillary Clinton not Trump but did not use it

The newly declassified report reveals that Obama's own intelligence community found evidence suggesting Putin may have had BLACKMAIL material on Hillary Clinton and preferred her to win the 2016 election over Donald Trump.

• from the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA),
Putin held back damaging material on Clinton, indicating a lack of concern for Trump's election and a preference for Clinton, whom he viewed as more vulnerable due to compromising materials Moscow possessed.

- This leverage would have given Putin influence over a potential Clinton administration but not a Trump one.

- The ICA downplayed the significance of Moscow withholding pre-election influence efforts for later use, failing to explain how these were more damaging than the leaked materials during the election, implying Putin’s preference or indifference toward Clinton.

This is significant because it challenges the widely accepted narrative that Russia actively sought to ensure Trump's victory in 2016, instead suggesting Putin had control over Clinton

@MJTruthUltra
They are so bleeped…

Obama’s own Intelligence told him Putin preferred Hillary Clinton because they had Blackmail on her lol

This document proves that Vladimir Putin preferred Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Moscow was holding back damaging material for leverage over a Clinton administration.

It was never Trump was Putin’s Puppet.
It was Hillary Clinton was the Puppet.



Obama is a scoundrel.
The Presidential Daily Briefing about Russia non involvenent was not released on Dec 7th. President elect Trump would have seen it. So it was withdrawn and classified .Then Obama ordered a false ICA to declare that Putin meddled in the 2016 elections


The case against Obama is watertight.I think the question is whether a 93% democrat jury pool can indict and convict him. The other alternative is a military tribunal.

9 Likely Reasons the Epstein “Client List” Is Withheld

1. No Formal List Exists

The term “client list” may be misleading. Names are likely scattered across flight logs, depositions, and evidence files, without a single official document labeled as such.

2. Avoiding Legal Risk

Releasing names could trigger defamation lawsuits, privacy claims, or legal exposure for missteps in how the investigation has been handled.

3. Victim Protection

Even with redactions, disclosing documents risks identifying survivors or retraumatizing those who testified under sensitive conditions.

4. Avoiding Exposure of Record Destruction

Acknowledging that a list once existed but was destroyed under a prior administration could lead to major public outrage and legal fallout.

5. National Security Concerns

If Epstein had ties to intelligence entities, revealing names might expose classified operations or endanger ongoing national security interests.

6. Collateral Damage

Not everyone associated with Epstein was necessarily involved in wrongdoing. Releasing names without context could unjustly damage reputations.

7. Administrative Bandwidth

Reviewing, redacting, and releasing all relevant records would require substantial resources, possibly diverting attention from current legal priorities.

7. Administrative Bandwidth

Reviewing, redacting, and releasing all relevant records would require substantial resources, possibly diverting attention from current legal priorities.

8. Trump Administration Running a Counter-Op Operation

There’s speculation that elements of the Epstein case may be entangled in counter-operations by the Trump administration, possibly aimed at surveilling, flipping, or exposing adversaries — further complicating transparency.

9. Disinformation Bombs Planted to Damage the Trump Administration

Some believe that hostile actors may have embedded false or misleading content in sealed records — “disinformation bombs” — intended to discredit Trump allies or the administration if those files were ever released. The presence of such material would make any disclosure legally and politically hazardous, requiring intense scrutiny before public release.

Tulsi Gabbard takedown of Kamala Harris in the 2020 debate.
“I want to bring the conversation back to the broken criminal justice system that is disproportionately negatively impacting Black and brown people all across this country today. Now, Sen. Harris says she’s proud of her record as a prosecutor and that she’ll be a prosecutor president. But I’m deeply concerned about this record. There are too many examples to cite, but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence—she blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California, and she fought to keep a cash bail system in place that impacts poor people in the worst kind of way.”



What did TSA do? Within 24 hours after that she was a domestic terror threat. A congress woman and a veteran was added to the 'Quiet Skies '

I normally don't reply you. But in this case I would.

It is you who lacks understanding of Syria. Since you are interested in making my point for me, I will educate you. The West took advantage of Russia being overstretched in the Ukraine and Hezbollah's decapitation by Israel in Lebanon, all because Assad is no friend of the West, and more importantly, Israel wanted regime change.

Nobody previously wanted a direct confrontation with Russia, so no one could actively do anything about it.

The Ukraine war brought an opportune moment. Russia was overstretched, Turkey had interests, and all parties found the right time. The West allowed Turkey to arm HTS and topple Assad, without looking to anyone that they directly did it. It's the easiest game in the play book - regime change and War by proxy.

Your post is making my point for me, nothing corrected. If the West didn't want it, Turkey had no unilateral power to do this. You think Turkey would topple Assad if Assad was pro-West?

You guys continue to think we are fools.
The quote you replied to . Me saying Turkey armed HTS. Which is ideologically equivalent to Al Qaeda and is Al Qaeda in all but name.
Where you naivety begins .
You don't know that Turkey has waged decades war on the Kurds.When ISIS wanted to overan Kobane ,Erdogan sent his Abrams tanks to prevent the Kurds escaping to Turkey. Erdogan s Turkey was the route tens of thousands of foreign fighters used to flock to the Caliphate. The country where arms passed though.
Erdogan doesn't want Shia Assad and Iran next to him .Neither does he want the Kurds breathing the same air he does.
After Trump withdrew most SAF troops from Syria, Erdogan quickly invaded the Kurds and took control of 9? km of Syria territory occupied by Kurds. Doubt you know that.

The West didn't arm HTS it was Erdogan the Sultan.
Politically Israel wanted Assad out because his being a vassal of Iran meant that Hezbollah troops were fighting for him ,and their weapons from Iran transited Syria into Lebanon.
Israel doesn't want the terrorists,they know it will be short work for the IDF to get rid of HTS leadership. They have to pretend to be running a state lawfully now that they are in power.
The West needs turkey as s bulwark against Russia,it's a member of NATO. America has stored nuclear bombs at the Incirlik base,I think they have removed them as of now.

Turkey desire for wanting to join the EU is not welcomed by most members.
Erdogan refused the Americans from using their bases in the 2003 Iraq war if you remember. And it had nothing with maintaining good relations with Saddam. Turkey would not allow IDF to overfly and on an occasion they scrambled F-16 when IDF planes briefly entered their airspace enroute to Iran .
Turkey has regularly welcomed and hosted the following virulent anti Israel enemies.
Mahmoud Abbas (Fatah, President of the Palestinian Authority)
Ismail Haniyeh (Hamas, Former Head of Hamas Political Bureau): Deceased (assassinated July 2024)
Khaled Mashal (Hamas, Former Head of Hamas Political Bureau, Head of Hamas Abroad):
Khalil al-Hayya (Hamas, Head of Hamas Gaza):
Zaher Jabarin (Hamas, Head of Hamas Judea & Samaria):
Mohammad Darwish (Hamas, Head of Hamas Political Council):
Saleh al-Arour (Hamas Leader): Deceased (killed September 2024

So tell me that Israel would ever gang up with Turkey which frequently calls for liberation of Jerusalem,unless for a very specific purpose.
The West knows Erdogan wants to reestablish the Ottoman empire with him as the Sultan. In a war with Russia the Bosporus Strait would play a vital role.

My second response to your "fact-based" judgement.

Hamas is the government of the day in Gaza. Because western alliances (and subsequently the media) don't allow you see these differences is a big shame.

Hamas runs everything. The Establishments, Police, Hospitals, Media, transportation.... name it. They need ordinary Palestinians to run these establishments. You think all ordinary Palestinians who are working in government to earn a living are all terrorists?

This is incontrovertible fact that your never thought about this deeply.

The level to which you will go to demonise people to justify their murder is grotesquely alarming.

The nonsense you said up there is synonymous with saying because all hospitals in Gaza are Hamas-controlled, therefore all Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics et al are in direct employment by Hamas and so deserve death.

It is synonymous with saying that all those in direct employment of the Nazi - Federal Workers in all federal parastatals deserve death because the Nazis got blacklisted.

You see what level of madness things quickly descend into when judgement is based on idealogy rather than facts?
They won an election hands down. When Abbas dithered they routed him. Hamas is very popular. Hamas is a terrorist organization. Supporters of Hamas who are willing to dethrone Abu Mazen { Mohamed Abba's) as the Palestinian leader are also all terrorists They offer their children to be terrorists and are very pleased that their children die as martyrs , which comes with some earthly ungodly pleasures. Hamas fighters are deemed as martyrs.
Ever heard if Christian martyrs. They died refusing to renounce their lord. Hamas martyrs revel in death killing Jews , any other person dying is just collateral damage. You think if you are in Israel and a suicide bomber will care about you when he is on his mission? You will just be a COLAT.

The Palestinians are not the ones who picked a fight with Israel. Hamas did. And Israel is reducing the entire Palestine to your stone age, though Israel's embargoes already ensured it was stone age before Hamas attacked, which some would argue is why Hamas attacked.

Thing is, not everyone is you who is afraid to die to protect what's yours from bullies. Some will die fighting for their rights instead of just handing their rights over to a bully. And that's why we have people like Mandela and Gandhi who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others, unlike you who'd just accept your oppression.
When there was no embargo the Hamas used to smuggle in weapons from the backers.
Instead of creating a tourist attraction state they live for eliminating Israel. They are very popular , more than Abu Mazen who has not held an election in donkeys ears because he will lose West Bank too.

Our country stood by Israel and they opened fire on, and murdered over 100 women and children in the Qana massacre in 1996.


Our country stood by Israel as they staged a false flag operation as the USS Liberty in 1967, killing about 40 Sailors and injuring over 100.

Our country stands by and watches The Mossad spy on the Mi6 and the CIA, yet continues to stand by them.

Our country says anything, what is your fact-based conclusion?
You llack understanding about Syria. The president is an Al Qaeda terrorist. He was propped up and armed by Turkey.
If you know sunni and shia rivalry you would not write that. Assad was helped by Iran and Russia. Unfortunately Hesbolla was getting arms from Iran through Syria. When they joined the fight , IDF had to eliminate Iran threat through Hamas and Hesbolla and eventually Iran. Russia is bogged down in the Ukraine war , wouldn't save Assad from Erdogan and ISIS .

---Check out this report by the GOP-led Senate intel committee that Russia favored Trump in 2016 elections---but here you are parroting the diversion from 'Epsteingate' by Tulsi and Felon 47 that Obama's administration is involved in the 'Russia hoax'---


Far from a hoax, as the president so often claimed, the report reveals how the Trump campaign willingly engaged with Russian operatives implementing the influence effort. For instance, the report exposes interactions and information exchanged between Russian intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnik and then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Instead of criticizing this behavior, however, Trump and his allies are amplifying and promoting Russian disinformation online. Perhaps most amazingly, Trump is circulating to his 85 million Twitter followers material provided by foreign actors designed to discredit Biden. Derkach — the pro-Russia Ukrainian oligarch — is reportedly providing these slanderous materials to Republicans, including Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa.

By then he didn't like Trump like so many republicans who only used Trump's popularity to get elected. Trump had derogatorily called him little Rubio during the campaigns , saying he ( Trump) was not small somewhere, showing off the size of his palms.
Rubio knew everything about the Russian collusion because James Comey had briefed the gang of eight.
For now it appears they are the best of buddies with Trump giving him an easier 2028 run. That is if Joe Biden tenure is disqualified and Trump added 4 more years as compensation .😆😆😆😆

_David Rhodes, CBS News President, brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security advisor.

_Bianna Vitalievna, CBS News/CNN journalist, married to Peter Orszag, Obama’s budget director



Ben Rhodes during the JPCOA deal made the following comments
"We created an echo chamber. They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.”
.... “All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus. Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”

House Spekaer says he is open to issuing a subpoena to Obama to Congress. It would be glorious.

Late July 2016 , The Netherlands spy agencies uncovered a plot by Hillary Clinton to accuse Trump of being Putin's puppet. This was an effort to divert from her growing email server investigation.

John Brennan was alarmed that the Dutch knew and went straight to Obama on July 29th or so to brief him. This is public info ,it was obtained from his notes .

Instead of the claim being investigated Peter Strzok officially opened Crossfire Hurricane to investigate trump and his campaign a day later.

Later on Dec 8 ,the CIA and other agencies had concluded that Russia didn't interfere in the elections. They prepared a Presidential Daily Briefing with those sad news ,which was not presented to Obama eventually.
Next day Obama convened a meeting with the heads of the intelligence, national security and yes Ben Rhodes,his spin master who dropped off a master's degree program in creative fictional writing.(My spin: He was seated on his chair with his foot on the desk showing the participants the soles of his shoes, he got up angrily, banged the desk then stepped on it)
He ordered them to change their findings and accuse Russia of helping Trump in a new Intelligence Community Assessment.
Takes months to do one,this one was done in less than 1 month and Brennan was deeply involved. Igor Dancheko the source of Russia pee tape story had already been proven to have lied at this tine. Brennan went ahead to include the Steele Dossier in the ICA knowing it was a pile of junk.

The rest is history.

There is no immunity for Obama subversion,the conspiracy is ongoing long after he left office. He has never spoken about the Russian hoax he and Clinton instigated todate.
Gen Flynn a victim of the hoax called for a raid in his Kalorama DC home yesterday.

Whatever I've posted is part of the truth.
The eventual truth about the last 10 years of criminality should shock everyone . Except of course. for democrats who believe any action to stop Trump however unlawful, is the right and moral thing to do.

Don't you mind those Palestinians. They should get over the genocide inflicted on them by Israel. Instead they are listening to General buda who is funding them to fight back like they have not heard "To the winner go the spoils of war".
Nowhere does the article say that invading Arab armies told the Palestinian Arabs to flee so they would go scorched earth on the Jews. It was supposed to be the final solution for middle east Jewry. Majority of the Arabs left voluntarily ,the article wants you to believe a tiny population surrounded by 6 countries was the aggressor.The evil Jews.

Nowhere does that article say that the Israelis imported hundreds of thousands of lipsticks , then used the shells for bullet casings.
It would be giving Israeli credit.

Oh come on, do stop with the lies. You know very well that my opinion counts more than that. General buda and Hamas sat in a meeting and decided to go fight the Israelis who were stealing their land, then buda financed it all.
What happens to the old adage. "To the winner go the spoils of war"
There have been resettlement of people throughout history. The Palestinians who moved out hoping the Arab armies use the same argument that they need to be restored to the land they once occupied. The Jews chased out of Europe were resettled to a land they were already settling in using the Zionist movement. The kibbutz was first established in 1910 with local Arabs laughing at the stupid Jews thinking they would cultivate the desert on a large scale. As soon as the desert started green,many Arabs flicked there looking for jobs
When the Arabs attacked them and lost , common sense dictated they lose any land from which they could launch attacks. The so called buffer zones. Golam heights come into play.
The Palestinians have been offered peace deasl which they rejected and started the intifada waves.
While you are pretending to look at it as land rivalry,there is the nakba thing.Thw humiliation of the Arab world in losing wars and land to Jews. Nakba has a masculine, cultural,historical and religious dimension

The Palestine issue is not just about land ,why would Iran expend so much money on an issue that doesn't affect them. Solidarity?

What has Israel done to minimize civilian casualties:

1. Issuing Warnings and Evacuation Notices.
- Dropping leaflets, sending text messages, making automated and live phone calls

2. Distributing evacuation maps and urban warfare graphics
- Conducting daily four-hour pauses for civilian evacuation

3. Use of Precision-Guided Munitions
- Employing precision-guided munitions like Iron Sting
Using smaller bombs for targeted strikes

4. Roof-Knocking Technique
- Dropping small munitions on building roofs to warn civilians

5. Humanitarian Aid Facilitation
- Delivering over 900,000 metric tons of aid (food, water, medical supplies, shelter equipment)
Constructing a new road near Kerem Shalom for 200–240 daily aid trucks

6. Intelligence and Situational Awareness
-Using control centers to monitor civilian locations
Gathering data on population density and civilian infrastructure

7. Operational Adaptations
- Deploying ground troops to reduce reliance on airstrikes
Exercising tactical patience and surveillance to detect civilians

what has Hamas done to maximize casualties:

1. Using Civilians as Human Shields:
- Placing rocket launchers, weapons, and command centers in or near civilian infrastructure, such as schools, hospitals, mosques, and residential buildings.
- Operating military activities from densely populated areas, increasing the risk of civilian casualties during Israeli retaliatory strikes.

2. Blocking Civilian Evacuations:
Actively preventing civilians from evacuating combat zones by blocking routes and issuing counterorders to stay, despite Israeli warnings to leave.

3. Storing Weapons in Civilian Areas:
- Hiding weapons, explosives, and rockets in civilian structures like homes, schools, and hospitals, making these sites military targets.

4. Firing Rockets from Populated Areas:
- Launching rockets from densely populated neighborhoods, such as Beit Lahiyah, knowing misfires or Israeli counterstrikes could harm civilians.

5. Using Tunnels for Military Purposes Only:
- Building extensive tunnel networks (e.g., “the Metro”) for military operations and leadership protection, but not for civilian shelters.

6. Inflating Casualty Figures:
- Manipulating casualty data through the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry to exaggerate civilian deaths, particularly of women and children, to gain international sympathy and pressure Israel.

7. Advising Misrepresentation of Casualties:
- Issuing guidelines to describe all casualties as “innocent civilians,” even when they include combatants, to shape public perception.

8. Holding Hostages in Civilian Areas:
- Keeping hostages in civilian homes and populated areas rather than isolated locations, increasing the risk of civilian casualties during rescue operations.

9. Misfired Rockets Harming Civilians:
- Launching rockets that misfire and land within Gaza, causing civilian casualties, such as the Al-Ahli Hospital incident attributed to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

10. Strategic Use of Civilian Deaths for Propaganda:
- Deliberately increasing civilian casualties to provoke international outrage against Israel, as part of a strategy to gain political advantage.



This is genocide in your eyes.
The poor suffering Palestinians living in the world's largest open air prison have a right to resist the settlers occupation. Rockets have failed to ensure from the river to the sea because if the iron dome. The Wall has reduced suicide attacks to negligible incidents. Their only other option is invade and murder 1400 Israeli citizens including throwing babies in ovens.

That's what bayelsaowei is not saying.

So, you do not see the UN resolution you posted there as the first throw of a punch of the land grab from those who lived there before the resolution?

I can just about hear you justifying the masacre of your own Ijaw people too, because of oil.
So your problem is Israel right to exist in the first case?
My post was deleted , had asked you whether UN should pass a resolution to give Palestinians a right to murder any Jew they cone across.

This was clearly elder abuse. I'm calling for Jill Biden to be charged
Dogs are treated better.
