Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said President Donald Trump was "furious" with her over her advocacy of the release of the Epstein files, and that doing so would "hurt people."

    Isn’t this actually the argument they are making to release Maxwell from prison? That the evidence proves her so guilty that she could not possibly have a fair trial.

    If by ‘people’ we mean rich men who have no regard for other people and feel they are outside the law, then yes, people. Better to call them what they are rich criminal men. Those criminals are the ones they are afraid of hurting not the actual victims of their abuse.

    I think Trump meant there are a lot of everyday people in the files, you know firemen, teachers, engineers , those sort of people and since he’s charged with protecting his people he just wants to… I’m sorry there’s just no way to justify NOT hurting the pedophiles. The victims have already come out in favor of this so I don’t see that argument holding water.

    That’s the point. Protect the victims. Anyone else, prison. But yeah, that’s the whole point of releasing them. To hurt those that are involved in a human trafficking and pedophile ring.

      Exactly!

      If releasing a list of people who raped children would hurt those people, then I say too fucking bad maybe they need to be hurt a little bit.

        When you envision him as a solipsist, every single decision makes sense. Well that plus a malignant narcissist who squandered a fortune and made a lot of very shady ‘friends’ along the way.

          Trump would have made more money if he just put his inheritance into an index fund, IIRC. Of course all the bribes and frivolous lawsuits companies “settled” may make that no longer a true statement.

        Hmmmmmm, has anyone ever explored the idea that trump has skitzophrenia? Maybe he really does think large amounts of people are saying things.

        Of coarse, that doesn’t make it any better. That just means the president has mental illness, and is the guy in charge of the military and nukes. Which feels even worse than if he were just a narcisist.

      If he was concerned about harming others, this would be the first time in his life. So yes he just admitted that he’s in the files and he will be harmed if they’re released.

        It’s hilarious all the conservatives are like, “but Bill Clinton is in them too!” As if we give a flying fuck if that whole family gets destroyed from the files.
