Trump snaps in late-night Epstein meltdown - Brian Tyler Cohen



Here are the key points from the video:

• Trump claims exoneration while his administration has allegedly blocked release of Epstein files, despite campaign promises of transparency

• Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed that Trump personally called her angry about the Epstein files discharge petition, telling her "my friends will get hurt"

• Trump's name appears over a million times in the Epstein files, yet co-conspirator names were redacted while victim information was exposed

• The administration is two months past the deadline for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, with three million files still unreleased

• Trump deflects questions by attacking reporters and pivoting to Clinton, while avoiding calls for his own testimony despite his extensive mentions in the files

• Even Trump allies like Joe Rogan are questioning why names are redacted if they're not victims, calling the situation "terrible" for the administration

Bullshit! The world's most infamous malignant narcissist wouldn't be doing all this to protect anyone but himself. If there was any way to pin everything on them and exonerate himself, that's exactly what he would do.

It illustrates very well why I don't watch BTC's stuff... besides the fact that I find him annoying ... He rarely says anything original, it's mostly just a rehash of what's been said by others. I wish it weren't so, but there it is.
