  1. They’re desperate to deflect the attention away from Trump and onto someone else being linked to Epstein. They tried to use false accusations against President Obama, and that failed. Jeffrey Epstein said in a 2016 interview that he was Donald Trump’s best friend, and if he said what he knew about Trump that they’d have to cancel the election.

  2. Just release the damn files already. We don’t care which party affiliate they are. We want them to face justice.

  3. Anyone and everyone, regardless of wealth or political relations, needs to be exposed for their involvement in the Epstein files. I don’t care if Trump and Clinton are sharing a court room, all pedophiles belong in prison.

  4. A lot of Democrats are going to be lining up to say “bring it”. *Everyone* on the visitor’s list should be known.

    *Release the files.*

  5. >In an interview with Fox News broadcast on Sunday, the vice-president tried to deflect criticism of the administration’s refusal to release the Epstein files by blaming Democrats. He accused Joe Biden of doing “absolutely nothing” about the scandal when he was in the White House.

    >“And now President Trump has demanded full transparency from this. And yet somehow the Democrats are attacking him and not the Biden administration, which did nothing for four years,” he said. Epstein’s former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, was convicted of conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse multiple minor girls and sentenced to 20 years in federal prison during the Biden administration.

  6. They’re not going to release them until they manage to get chatGPT to finish writing a version believable to Fox News audiences that only incriminates Trump’s enemies and paints him as a saint who tried to save all the little girls but was stopped by evil Democrats.

  7. My favorite thing about this is the bulletproof eternal response, “Dang that’s crazy release the files.” I mean it sincerely along with millions of others.

    We’re not talking about insider trading or wire fraud… I hope everyone involved faces maximum legal and societal consequences. I worship zero Democrats. Release the files

  8. Democrats aren’t rabid fans of their elected representatives. They don’t base their entire personality around their elected representatives. Go the fuck ahead and release the files.

  9. TLDR: Diddler J. Taco spent decades raping and trafficking children with Epstein & Maxwell.

    Vance is now complicit because he is aware that if any more evidence comes out… and if the constant demand for the files never dies… his career is over.

  10. Untrue. We never stopped our demand that he release the Epstein evidence which shows he was an active participant in child sex trafficking operations, as well as a client.

    I would like to add that he has been threatening anyone who points out the connection between Epstein and Melania, so we would like those facts too.

  11. I want JD to produce a list of democrats who have been linked to sexual crimes, and I’ll provide a list of republicans who have been. And then we’ll compare notes.

    Spoiler alert: it’s a lot more republican. Like a lot more.

  12. If there were only Democrats on that client list, it would have been all over the world on every Fox and Sinclair affiliate 24/7 for the last 6 months.

  13. I don’t think this is going the way he planned.

    Vance: “the libs are in the files!”

    Maga: ‘They are? Release the files so we can own them”

    Democrats: “they are? Release the files to bring them to justice!”

  14. I don’t know what Trump and co are so worried about. Polls show that half the base will continue to support him even if he proves to be a kiddy fiddler. The other half would take a few days to get used to it, but give them time – they’ll be cool with it. Trump is King David. 

  15. If you are saying that it’s the Democrats, why not release the full unredacted files to prove it?

    Because it will implicate probably more important people in the Gang of Pedophiles.

  16. Prove it. They were still targeted at Mar Lago by employees who were former Mar Lago employees. This isn’t the flex you think it is.

  17. I love the desperate attempt to blame democrats that conservatives do on everything. It’s like they think if a democrat did it, it’s İkea for them to do it. How childish.

  18. Pedophile Administration and everyone enabling that monster !!

  19. He hasn’t renewed calls to release the files. There have been consistent calls to release the files.

  21. 1. Release the files
    2. Let’s see the bank statements and 4.7K+ financial transactions involving the Russian bank(s)

  22. Oh Clueless JD… didn’t you get the word, that there are no files? No? Bondi said so herself. Perhaps you should be working instead of on a perpetual vacation.

  23. Guys I’m starting to think they’re not going to release the files.

  25. My own relatives could be in the Epstein files and I’d want to know so I could scorn them for life. It doesn’t matter who political affiliation you are or anything else, people who are tied to Epstein’s abuse of minor ALL deserve to be tried and punished for their disgusting acts. 

  27. Republicans seem to misunderstand something important: left wing voters don’t want their representatives to be pedophiles. Releasing the report would allow for a proper house clean.

    It’s weird that Republicans don’t feel the same way.

  28. then release the files and prove it. the fact you havent release the files tells me there not on it or there editing the files to have them on it

  29. They had a whole strategy meeting about this and all they could come up with is try to blame the other side?

  30. >JD Vance’s attempt to link Democrats to Epstein…

    Damn. Just how many kids did tRump diddle?

  31. No shit. Your political affiliation doesn’t matter. Your willingness to diddle kids does. RELEASE THE FILES

  32. “No no no! TRUST US it is all Democrats in there and *that’s* why we’re can’t show you!”

  33. What a stupid strategy.

    Democrats are in the files.

    Good release them so we can see who we are about to kick out of the party.

  34. Oh, there’s democrats linked to Epstein? Great. Lock them up with all the Republicans linked to Epstein. Lock them all up.

    That’s the difference between liberals and conservatives. When a liberal breaks the law, their base isn’t going to defend them, why would we? When a conservative breaks the law, their base rallies around them.

  35. They don’t even attempt to get their story straight.

    They’re on my desk!

    They dont exist!

    They’re a hoax made by the democrats!

    The list is full of democrats!

  36. Who even cares what political party is in the files. Stop protecting pedophiles.

  37. So the secret meeting at the White House with the AG, FBI director, the VP, and others to come up with a strategy to protect Trump from being in the Epstein files is… blame the Democrats. Hahahahaha, geniuses!

  38. This move from Vance was so stupid I’m now convinced there is a Theil/Vance/Murdoch plot to expose trump’s pedophilia in order to replace him with Vance.

  39. If there are Democrats linked to the epstein files, why wouldn’t you release them so we can toss them in prison?

  40. “Democrats are in the files!”

    “Ok cool, release them, we don’t care.”

    “But Democrats are in the files!”

  41. It’s so funny – they’ve gotten so deep into culture wars and the maga cult they really think the opposite side is just as cultist when mostly the other side is “umm…OK…so? Release them? We don’t fucking protect pedos no matter who they are??” And they honestly literally cannot comprehend this position lmao they’re living in a bubble lol

  42. I’m sure there are Democrats in the Epstein files. 

    The thing Vance doesn’t seem to get is that left would be thrilled to find out who amongst their ranks is a scumbag so they can cut away the cancer. 

    Country over party all day, every day.

  44. FINE, if there are bad Democrats, We Don’t Care, RELEASE the files!

  45. I dont know why they think this is a huge gotcha. Tbh, im significantly more interested in knowing which democrats are linked to epstein because I dont want to vote for a pedophile 🤷🏻‍♂️
