John Berman from CNN asked Rep. Pete Sessions, who is a member of the House Oversight Committee:
You have just brought up a very important point. There is nothing that indicates misconduct by President Trump or then Citizen Donald Trump. And everything connected to Jeffrey Epstein. And I know you believe that, and we certainly have no reason to believe it and have not seen any report about it. So if that is the case, would you support the Ministry of Justice? Would you ask the attorney general, just release all the entries from Donald Trump in the files? If there is no evidence or no suggestion that he has done something wrong, why wouldn’t you just release where his name comes up?
Sessions answered and gave the Republican game away: “Well, I hope this and I try to be frank. I don’t think so Donald Trump. I think it’s about a group of people who have worked together. We need to know. We need to know, were Jeffrey Epstein money to do this? People and republicans want to come out of the prove, even a name, not to be a name, so that a name is not to be a name, not to be a name, not to come up with the name, not to be a name, not to be a name, not to come up with the name, not to be a name, not to be a name, not to be a name, not to come up with the name, not to be a name, not to come up with the name, not to come up with the name, not to come up with a name, not to come up with a name, not to come up with the name, not to come up with a name, not to come up with the name, not to come up with a name. Legal enforcement and people who are women and mothers and grandfathers like me, the game would understand that they were generally left with at least the facts, if not the names. “
The story about Trump that the Epstein files do not release is not about Donald Trump. The story is really about Jeffrey Epstein. Rep. Sessions have never answered the question why the files do not release if Trump is innocent.
The answer is that nobody is 100% sure, and given that this is Donald Trump we are talking about, it is unlikely that the president is innocent.
If Republican thought that the Epstein files contain the names of powerful political opponents and did not at least look terrible for Trump, they would have released them long ago.
Republicans will move the goal posts if Maxwell testifies to the Oversight Committee house on 13 August. Do not expect a serious interrogation of Republicans in the committee, because the whole point will be to make the hearing about everything but Donald Trump.
Huis republicans cannot give straight answers to simple questions about Trump and Epstein, which means that Democrats get a great opportunity to run the tables in the show that Republicans want to organize to protect Trump.
