In the end, #Trump did not want to lose.Trump denounced calls for the release of the #EpsteinFiles as a Democratic hoax. He dispatched aides to warn #Republicans that backing it would be seen as a “hostile act.” He placed personal calls to those who dared to do so, & even dispatched his AG & FBI dir to meet with one in the White House #SituationRoom in efforts to get her to flip.None of it worked.#House #DOJ #law #criminal #Epstein #rape #SexTrafficking #CoverUp https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/17/us/politics/trump-epstein-republicans-vote.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

@Nonilex "You can't fire me; I quit!" is never a good look, and much appreciated here!

So on Sunday night, #Trump did something he has rarely been forced to do: He caved in the face of pressure from his party & called on #House #Republicans to go ahead & back a bill that would order his #DOJ to release all of its investigative files on the convicted #SexOffender #JeffreyEpstein.By Monday, he was saying, “Sure,” he would sign the legislation he has spent months trying to kill.#Congress #law #criminal #Epstein #rape #SexualAssault #SexTrafficking #felon47 #CoverUp

It’s not clear that doing so would have any concrete impact; #Trump could have ordered the release of the files without an act of #Congress, & has not. And it remains to be seen whether his #DOJ will ultimately release the files.#House #law #criminal #Epstein #EpsteinFiles #rape #SexualAssault #SexTrafficking #felon47 #CoverUp

@Nonilex It will be interesting to see if the DOJ doesn't claim it can't be released due to other investigations (Clinton et al)

@Nonilex Dear New York Times,Trump didn't earn the nickname, "TACO," by never backing down.(TACO stands for Trump Always Chickens Out.)

@Nonilex I still think he will wait until he sees if there’s 2/3 of both houses and veto if there isn’t a veto proof majority, using some absurd gaslighting justification for why he did.

⬆️ @Nonilex >> #Trump could have ordered the release of the files without an act of #Congress, & has not. And it remains to be seen whether his #DOJ will ultimately release the files.For that matter, #Biden could have released the #Epstein files, and did not.Also, his AG #MerrickGarland could have followed up on #Mueller evidence to probe Tump's money trail to #Russia, but let it expire instead.The least we should be asking is why did the #Democrats want to protect both Epstein and Trump.

@Nonilex What does it matter? more panama papers, more podesta emails, more mkultra, more public record that adds up to nothing but fake political wrestling. A bank runs america, not DC stooges.

@Guillotine_Jones Yeah I thought that too, but that’s usually when it comes to Putin or other countries. He really hasn’t had to back down to any Republicans yet which is what the NYT was saying. He usually bullies them into falling in line. This time enough of them actually stood firm against him.

@Nonilex I'm sorry, he hasn't exhausted all the wrong things to do yet.
