Around 1:15 lol.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Trump was in on the murder. Khashoggi was putting together a piece on a corrupt deal between Trump and Bone Saw.

Vote passed the senate overnight. The problem is that Mike Johnson didn't think it was going to happen the way it did. Looks like he was hoping for an expected amendment that never came and he's outright fuming.


https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2868239.html

Quote:
“I am deeply disappointed in this outcome,” Johnson told MSNOW on his way out of Tuesday evening’s glitzy state dinner with the Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman.

“I was just told that Chuck Schumer rushed it to the floor and put it out there preemptively,” Johnson told the reporter. “It needed amendments. I just spoke to the president about that. We’ll see what happens.”

Johnson added that both he and Trump “have concerns” about the bill as it stands and was asked whether the president could veto it when it lands on his desk.

“I’m not saying that. I don’t know,” said a frustrated Johnson, who said he opposed releasing the files on the grounds that it could reveal the identities of many of the victims.


Quote:
“When a bill passes the House for 427-1 and the president said he'll sign it into law, I'm not sure that there's going to be a need for an amendment or desire for an amendment process,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune told The Independent after the House held its vote.

I wonder what the amendment they wanted was. Probably something along the lines of "If it's a republican name replace it with Obama."

Some are suggesting it will be hard for DOJ to scrub the files. So many people have worked on the files at this point, there is sure to be whistle blowers.

Ya, but they can be gaslit and ignored. All they need to do is convince enough people the parts they show are valid and other stuff is made up Democrat lies, and they can march on. And let's not pretend a large portion of America isn't dumb enough to fall for that. Perhaps as many as they need.

I mean rationally it seems like Trump wouldn't push so hard to stop the files release if there wasn't at least something damaging (even if rationally it wasn't that damaging).

But Trump isn't rational so who knows what's actually in there.

Fully expect the games to continue with things being hidden or redacted or whatever.

Someone should be reminding Bondi daily that while Nixon didnt go to jail his AG did. See which set of files she releases then.

What possible excuse could there be for making ANY redactions to the emails/files of a criminal pedophile?

Really hope someone does the right thing and leaks the full unreacted versions somehow.

^^ No I mean what can a congressperson actually answer when asked "why is any of this information redacted?" There's no possible way any of it is a national security threat...so why?

They can't say "we scrubbed it for republicans". Although maybe they can, who knows. The supporters obviously don't care.

There also might be the play that he'll just claim they're all fake anyways. It's easy enough to doctor documents, especially those getting spread online. It's very easy to convince someone that the document their looking at is fake (or real) if they want to believe that.

Johnson actually brought that up this morning...national security, its their go to for cover-ups.

And Bondi this morning had a press conference
https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3m5yp45n72f2p

Bondi on the Epstein investigations that Trump demanded: "We're not gonna say anything else on that because now it is a pending investigation in SDNY"

So the wagon circling is in full swing

Keeping the pics of foreign politicians in CIA's backpocket is way more useful than having them out in the public. Whether that counts as "national security" is of course very debatable.

Also, that Trump will discard her as soon as she is no longer his useful idiot.

What nicknames will he create for her? Scam Bondi?
