Trump Has the Power to Release the Epstein Files, With or Without Congress: The president has reversed himself and encouraged lawmakers to vote for compelling the Justice Department to turn over investigation documents, but he never really needed their approval.

NY Times actually said the truth…. Oh wait … tomorrow Ross Douthat will get a opinion piece on how democrats are in the files.
Snippet:
* Facing intense political pressure, President Trump has reversed his position on whether he supports a congressional measure that would compel the Justice Department to release more materials from the investigation into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
* On Monday, Mr. Trump said he would sign the bill if it reached his desk.
* But Mr. Trump’s sudden reversal raises a question: If the president agrees that more investigative materials in the Epstein case should be released, why is he waiting for the passage of the so-called discharge petition to do so? Why doesn’t he immediately order Attorney General Pam Bondi to make the documents public?
* *The fact is that if Mr. Trump chooses to, he can indeed order more files released — with or without legislation —* ***much as he did in other cases of intense public interest****, including the killings of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and President John F. Kennedy*
*Another snippet out of order:*
* But a federal judge has said there are more than 100,000 pages of files and materials related to the Justice Department’s investigation into Mr. Epstein, and the Justice Department has confirmed that it possesses more than 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence, including files that must be withheld.
This is all smoke in mirrors and we will see soon enough.
Trump launched a DOJ investigation into Democrats.
Trump tells Congress to clear the vote, it passes.
It lands on Trump’s desk, Trump signs it.
DOJ says they can’t release it, citing an active investigation.
His sudden shift is all theater. This will effectively kill the bill without killing it.
Its a power play to see who votes for it so he can shit on them.
Cum Chin says what???
Having the power or not has never been a consideration.
He’s OK with them turning over the documents now that Patel & Co. have scrubbed everything that is detrimental to Trump and the GOP.
So he uses power he doesn’t have and doesn’t use the power he actually has. Sounds about right
Trump only backs the voting, because it is a lost case for Trump, and now he is trying to jump on to the winning-wagon.
Trump and his regime will just stall the release later on.
Let’s stop pretending he knows how any of this works. His first government job was president. And he still hasn’t worked a day in his life.
They are busy altering or destroying the files now
…and later in the week he’ll veto releasing them if there are enough votes tomorrow.
America will never know the truth as long as ANY POLITICIAN Dem or Pug control the release of these files and justice prescribed. Has anyone seen a list of all the names in these files? I really do not care about how many times trump is mentioned, since I was alive and watched this shit on Access Hollywood, Entertainment tonight, ABC, NBC and CBS, these men were fkn proud of what they were doing! EVERYONE KNEW!
What is the plan to remove this admiration and the corrupt supreme court justices by 4/1/2027? This should be the only things dems should be talking about.
Can the MAGAs comprehend this?
Them shits is going to be so redacted.
And conservatives will still eat it up.
He could hand them a turd sandwich, they’d munch on it just to gross out liberals.
