Why YES, bloated orange rapin' felon Grampy. 38,000 mentions in the Epstein files means you have been TOTALLY EXONERATED

Trump insisted that he had “nothing to hide,” and went on to insist several times that he had been “totally exonerated” of the allegations leveled against him regarding his past ties to Epstein. This despite him being named more than 38,000 times in newly released Epstein files.

“I have nothing to hide, I've been exonerated! I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein! They went in hoping that they'd find it – they found just the opposite, I've been totally exonerated,” Trump insisted, speaking aboard Air Force One late Monday night.

“In fact, Jeffrey Epstein was fighting that I don't get elected with some author, a sleazebag by the way. I was totally exonerated. I've been totally exonerated on Epstein. And it's really interesting because they've been pulled in, Clinton and many other Democrats.”

Despite Trump’s claims, the Justice Department’s release of millions of files on Epstein has unearthed a number of allegations against him, among them claims that he abused at least two underage girls, which political reporter Roger Sollenberger reported Sunday were deemed credible by federal investigators.

1. It's well-known that he's a creep and a sex pest. He will never be exonerated from that shit.

2. It's over 1 Million

The DOJ blacked out his name more than 950,000 times. The "unredacted" versions Congress got to view electronically had his name more than 1,000,000 times. And there were still parts blacked out even for them that might have been about Trump.

3. He thinks his old tired trick still works

Just say what you want to be true and it miraculously becomes true.

4. MaddowBlog-Despite reality, Trump claims he has been '100% exonerated' in the Epstein scandal

“‘I’m 100% exonerated’ will go down in history with ‘I am not a crook’ as one of the great criminal confessions of all time,” Jamie Raskin said.

Remember, Trump has a tell: Every time he uses the word “exonerated,” he’s lying: www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

It’s comparable to anecdotes about big crying men who call him “sir” and privately tell him how awesome he is.

On Thursday morning, the president went further, publishing an odd message to his social media platform that began:

AG Pam Bondi, under intense fire from the Trump Deranged Radical Left Lunatics, was fantastic at yesterday’s Hearing on the never ending saga of Jeffrey Epstein, where the one thing that has been proven conclusively, much to their chagrin, was that President Donald J. Trump has been 100% exonerated of their ridiculous Russia, Russia, Russia type charges.

...No such proof exists. In fact, MaddowBlog reached out to Rep. Jamie Raskin, the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, to ask for his reaction to Trump’s claim.

“‘I’m 100% exonerated’ will go down in history with ‘I am not a crook’ as one of the great criminal confessions of all time,” the Maryland Democrat said.

While the investigation into the Epstein scandal moves forward, it’s likely that Trump will continue to claim that he has been exonerated, reality be damned. With this in mind, it’s worth pausing to appreciate the fact that the president has an unfortunate track record when it comes to this specific word.

In March 2018, Trump claimed that the House Intelligence Committee had completely exonerated him in the Russia scandal. That wasn’t true.

In June 2018, Trump said the Justice Department inspector general’s office had “totally” exonerated him in the Russia scandal. That was both wrong and kind of bonkers.

In February 2019, Trump claimed that the Senate Intelligence Committee also had exonerated him in the Russia scandal. That also wasn’t true.

In March 2019, Trump claimed the judge in a Paul Manafort trial exonerated him, too. That also wasn’t true.

In June 2021, Trump claimed he had been “totally exonerated” by testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn, which was largely the opposite of the truth.

In February 2023, Trump insisted that a special grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, had rewarded him with “total exoneration.” Not only didn’t that happen, the same special grand jury called for his criminal indictment. (He was later charged by a regular grand jury, which relied on the special grand jury’s findings.)

In June 2023, Trump published an item to his social media platform, declaring that he’d been “totally exonerated” in the classified documents scandal. That was also the opposite of the truth.

In June 2024, Trump claimed to have been “exonerated” for referring to the “very fine people” he saw protesting in Charlottesville, Virginia. That wasn’t true, either.

In July 2024, Trump claimed “total exoneration” in the hush-money-to-a-porn-star case — the one in which he was ultimately found guilty of multiple felonies — a claim that didn’t make any sense at all.

In October 2024, Trump claimed he had been “fully exonerated” in the classified documents scandal, which was completely wrong.

...But either (a) Trump doesn’t know what “exonerated” means; (b) he has spent years trying to deceive the public about his culpability in a variety of serious scandals; or (c) both.

5. The P in GOP stands for Pedo.

You have to be one these days just to get elected, apparently.

[Ferrets are Cool]

6. According to a legal expert, there is no legal term "exonerated of a crime". So once again, Pedo in Chief is wrong.

7. It really makes you think, is his life in the Oval Office a full blown dementia episode?

8. Don't believe what you're reading with your lying eyes !

So Orwellian and I doubt he even knows who Orwell was or read one of his books.
