Trump’s base wants the truth about Epstein — and – Latest News
As a lot as President Trump and the White House would love everybody to close up and transfer on from the lifeless pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, a new ballot reveals that the scandal isn’t going away.
Rasmussen polling this week reveals Trump has suffered a sharp drop in approval over the period of the Epstein brouhaha, plummeting from a plus-4 recognition score to a negative-4 in three weeks.
The ballot of 1,164 possible voters performed on July 8-10 discovered that simply 21% consider the Trump FBI and DOJ are telling the truth about Epstein, who was discovered hanged in his jail cell in 2019.
While FBI Director Kash Patel and deputy Dan Bongino insist that Epstein dedicated suicide, solely 31% of voters consider them.
“You can’t just say ‘Trust me, bro,’ ” says Mark Mitchell, Rasmussen’s head pollster.
“Roughly two-thirds of every political category — 68% of Democrats, 66% of Republicans and 69% of unaffiliated voters — reject the idea that the Epstein case is closed and instead believe that there are dozens of powerful and wealthy offenders who need to face justice.”
Epstein is a self-inflicted wound by the administration that has Trump venting on social media at his “PAST” supporters and “weaklings” of the MAGA base who’ve purchased the “bulls–t” of the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.”
“Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats’ work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”
Echoes of Biden
Mitchell says Trump’s plummeting ballot numbers echo Joe Biden’s precipitous and everlasting decline after the catastrophic Afghanistan withdrawal.
“People want criminal accountability,” he says.
“The FBI interfered with two elections in a row.”
Yet no one has been punished.
The fury is not only about Epstein.
He’s lifeless, by suicide in his jail cell, solo or assisted.
His pimp girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell is in jail.

But the Epstein scandal is symbolic of the absence of accountability for previous crimes in opposition to the American people.
The president, who received partly by echoing deep mistrust in the establishments and stoking legit grievances, hasn’t delivered heads on pikes.
The FBI and DOJ act as if that’s a low precedence.
Trump is understandably infuriated that the Epstein business is soaking up a lot consideration, seeing he works from daybreak to midnight fixing the disasters unleashed by Biden.
But all these supporters who chanted “lock her up” at his 2016 rallies had been dissatisfied when he broke his promise to analyze “Crooked” Hillary Clinton and as a substitute supplied her grace, saying “leave her alone” and praising her as “strong and smart.”
Trump supporters grudgingly accepted it as a one-off sacrifice for the good of national unity.
Fat lot of good that did!
What ensued was the Clinton campaign-inspired Russia hoax, a weaponized FBI and CIA focusing on Trump and his allies for the subsequent eight years and an array of pretend controversies peddled to an all too keen media.
There was the “pee tape,” the “Very Fine People” Hoax, the “Suckers and Losers” Hoax, the Russian Bounties Hoax, the “Drinking Bleach” Hoax, the “Lafayette Square Tear Gas” Hoax and, of course, the “Hunter Biden Laptop is Russian Disinfo” Hoax.
Two impeachments later it was apparent that extending grace to deceitful Democrats is a mug’s sport, so this time everybody thought that Trump would come back into workplace and eke out retribution.
Business as typical
Six months on, it’s business as typical.
Kash Patel wasted no time placing on an FBI cap, jetting round to hockey video games in the FBI non-public jet and pledging allegiance to the troops he had so just lately castigated.
Now he claims they deserve more than something an costly new headquarters.
No. They don’t.The FBI is rotten.
That was the mantra of the Trump marketing campaign, and actually of Patel and Bongino.
They had been going to crack down on everybody concerned in the weaponization efforts in opposition to Trump and his supporters.
“Lock them up” was the chant.
And again nothing occurred.
In reality, worse than nothing.
Steven Jensen, the architect of the FBI’s overzealous Jan. 6 investigations, was appointed to steer the Washington Field Office.

We had been promised a good motive would quickly be revealed.
Three months later, crickets.
There has been zero accountability for the FBI focusing on conventional Catholics as incipient home terrorists.
The “Radical Traditionalist Catholics” memo of 2023 was not an remoted error as former Director Chris Wray claimed.
Sen. Chuck Grassley has revealed it was an motion merchandise pumped out to more than 1,000 FBI staff over a number of subject workplaces.
Meanwhile, the handful of valiant whistleblowers who uncovered the corruption, like Steve Friend and Garret O’Boyle, have been deserted by Patel, who as soon as posed as their champion.
The approach to clear up the disillusionment embodied in the Epstein furor isn’t pumping out Truth Socials calling the complete factor a hoax.
It’s not telling people there’s nothing there.
It’s not releasing a doctored video of Epstein’s jail cell with one minute lacking — or as the lefty rag Wired claims, “2 minutes and 53 seconds.”
That simply added gasoline to the fire.
As distasteful and time-consuming because it for a White House busy with important issues of state, somebody has to grab maintain of this whirling dervish and fast.
Already you possibly can guess devious Dems are concocting some new model of the “pee tape” to deliver down Trump, or at the very least depress his ballot numbers so that they win the midterms.
‘No client list’
Alan Dershowitz, Jeffrey Epstein’s former lawyer, claims there’s no “client list” and that courts have sealed all FBI interview data of alleged victims.
“I know who they are. They don’t include any current officeholders.”
People have confused Epstein’s “client list” along with his little black guide — a whole lot of names of all the wealthy and well-known people he ever met.
Dershowitz was falsely accused of being an abuser and needed to struggle to clear his identify.
But it’s a pity that Dershowitz-style readability has not come from the FBI, DOJ or White House, all of which seem to have been caught flat-footed by a conspiracy that MAGA influencers have been whipping up for a decade.
One communications skilled in the administration believes the FBI ought to release a detailed timeline and flowchart of the whole lot recognized about the Epstein case and maintain a press convention to reply each query.
If it’s actually some Russiagate-style plot, then expose it.
If the FBI or DOJ botched the initial Epstein investigation or acted corruptly in the sweetheart plea deal, expose it.
The CIA ought to say whether or not Epstein was an intelligence asset.
But past that tawdry case, there needs to be accountability for the deep state witch hunts in opposition to Trump and his supporters.
And the place is the accountability on the COVID lies and censorship?
Heads on pikes, nothing much less.
