FBI agents were told to 'flag' any Epstein records that mentioned Trump, Sen. Durbin says

*FBI agents assigned to review files in the criminal case against Jeffrey Epstein were instructed to “flag” any documents that mentioned President Donald Trump, Sen. Richard Durbin said

*Durbin asked the Justice Department and FBI to explain what his office called “apparent discrepancies” regarding handling of the Epstein files and findings from a Justice Department memo.

*Trump has called on supporters to drop their pursuit of the release of the files, saying the controversy of their withholding by Attorney General Pam Bondi is a “hoax.”

Durbin’s claim came as the Illinois Democrat sent the Justice Department and FBI letters asking them to explain what his office called “apparent discrepancies regarding the handling of the Epstein files and findings from a July 7 Department of Justice (DOJ) memorandum and instructions reportedly received by FBI personnel.”

Why hide these secret files at mar-a-lago? It just doesn't make sense. I mean, the felon barely knew Epstein! I am anticipating the felon to tie this to Jimmy Carter by sun-down today, when his sun-down takes over his being.

This & OP are highly recommended. We need to get to the bottom of this.

To hell with whoever else is exposed for crimes against children
This should be the final disgrace for this monster - and what a fitting metaphor for his vile life.
Maybe ICE should arrest him.😀
