Zeteo talked to some members of the Trump White House about their damage control efforts on the Epstein files. It’s hilarious:
Trumpworld is wildly unimpressed with the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, with many in the MAGA and GOP elite flabbergasted at how Donald Trump’s Justice Department keeps pathetically bungling its own cover-up.
“They keep making it look like we have something to hide,” a White House official complains to Zeteo.
On Tuesday, Zeteo contacted numerous Trump advisers, senior administration officials, Republican lawmakers, right-wing media figures, and other close allies of the president asking them to grade how the Justice Department (which acts as an extension of President Trump’s corrupt wishes) has handled the Epstein saga, particularly from July to the present.
All but one of the dozen-plus Trumpland denizens (who were granted anonymity to speak freely) responded with an “F” or “F-minus.” And one respondent was even harsher: “F-minus-minus.”
I’m not sure why they think there’s any good way to handle this. The problem for Trump is that he’s closely associated with this monster and these files are salacious and super intriguing, gross as they are, with all these famous people involved and the enduring questions about why they are working so hard at covering it up. I think the cat is out of the bag now and nothing they can do will quell the scandal.
Having said that they certainly could have taken this seriously and handled it professionally for the sake of the survivors. Instead of taking over the DOJ X feed and communicating like a bunch of snotty schoolboys, they could have done this right and let the chips fall where they may. The fact that they haven’t done even that, argues strongly for the fact that they are covering for Donald Trump.
This plaintive whine from Monday certainly isn’t going to put an end to the speculation:
By the way, just have to share this little tidbit I came across today:
hmmmmm.
Happy Hollandaise!
