Tensions that simmered for months boiled over when the Justice Department and FBI issued a two-page statement this week saying that they had concluded that Jeffrey Epstein did not possess a "client list."

    Trump ordered the list destroyed in exchange for the global elites’ cooperation with his tariffs set to start August 1st and if he got his “Big Beautiful Bill” passed.

    The bill was supposed to be a gesture of good will with the massive tax breaks for the rich at our cost. Because he set July 4th as Congress’ deadline, it would go: “Big Beautiful Bill” July 4th -> Epstein Papers destroyed a week later -> Tariffs on Aug. 1st.

    We all know Trump was on that list, but his administration knew the names of all others on the list and bargained for their cooperation with tariffs. Not something you’d read about in his shitty “The Art of The Deal”

      That sounds rather conspiratorial to say the least, especially since said list isn’t published.

    Inb4 Pam Bondi gets thrown under the bus

    She’s stupid and obedient enough to survive longer than most. But how many people who were close to Trump 2 years ago are still anywhere in his orbit now? You either leave voluntarily, or you get thrown to the Sarlacc whenever it serves the convenience of the day.
