President Trump is directing the Department of Justice to investigate prominent Democratic politicians and donors linked to Jeffrey Epstein amid heightened public scrutiny of his own ties to the deceased pedophile.

Trump instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi Friday to launch an investigation into former President Bill Clinton, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, billionaire Democratic donors, and other individuals and institutions with ties to Epstein.

“I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“Records show that these men, and many others, spent large portions of their life with Epstein, and on his ‘Island.’ Stay tuned!!!”


LOOK! A SPACE SHIP!

I honestly don’t fear exposing anyone who has been a part of the Epstein debacle.

Name and shame the lot of them. I imagine that if and when it all comes out, we may find more politicians walking away from Congress, or losing in their re-election bids. Maybe, just maybe, those left in office will be able to vote on legislation based on the benefits to the American people as opposed to voting out of fear of their deep dark secrets being exposed. I’m talking those being blackmailed because of their indiscretions. Blackmailed into voting a certain way to benefit the few.

I think this is bigger than we all imagine. There just seems to be so much corruption and so much blatant legislation created which profoundly hurts the voters. And it’s been this way a long time.

4. I believe it's worldwide, and snares national figures, business leaders, royalty, and some one or more in black robes.

The more money and power they have the more privilege they think they're entitled to, and above the law, secular or spiritual.

We've known about the Bohemian Club in the SF Bay area for ages, and if you want a look at the depravity of the wealthy, check out "Eyes Wide Shut" by Stanley Kubrick. Highly controversial because it exposes so much. (more in the European version).

Fidelio!

As it unfolds, watch for people making plans to move to Argentina, or making $40 Billion giveaways to them.

OOPS!

All it takes is a trickle. I have faith that victims and business partners will come forward with true facts to counter the bullshit diversions and lies being fabricated.

One posthumously published, and I believe truthful book took down a prince.

5. MaddowBlog-Trump eyes federal Epstein investigation that targets his foes, but not himself

The president wants the public to see the Epstein scandal as a hoax — except the parts related to people he doesn’t like.

Trump eyes federal Epstein investigation that targets his foes, but not himself

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-eyes-federal-epstein-investigation-targets-foes-not-rcna243939

The revelations dovetailed with Republicans on the same committee releasing a tranche of 20,000 documents it received from the Epstein estate in response to a congressional subpoena. An MSNBC report noted that some of the additional email correspondence between Epstein and his associates was “unflattering” to Trump. A related report in The New York Times summarized, in reference to the documents: “Mr. Epstein insulted Mr. Trump and hinted that he had damaging information on him.”

In the immediate aftermath of the reports, the usually talkative president had very little to say about the reporting (which includes allegations that have not been substantiated by MSNBC). The Republican published a handful of missives to his social media platform on the matter, but most focused on his appeals to GOP lawmakers to follow his lead on the scandal......

There’s no point in trying to summarize in a single blog post every error of fact and judgment in the president’s 116-word rant — the Russia scandal, for example, still isn’t a scam — but the bottom line comprises three key elements.

The first is that Trump wants federal law enforcement to initiate an investigation into a variety of prominent figures mentioned in the Epstein materials — but not himself. That’s a tough position to take seriously.

The second is that the president wants the public to see the underlying controversy as a hoax, except for the parts related to people he doesn’t like. How does Trump reconcile the obvious contraction?
By ignoring it.

Finally, it’s worth emphasizing that the president continues to act as if he has decision-making authority at the Justice Department and the FBI. There is no modern precedent for a White House publicly declaring which of the president’s political foes deserve to be targeted with federal investigations, but in 2025 it has become an alarmingly common occurrence.

In late September, Trump used his platform to direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to go after three of his perceived political enemies. In October, he did it again, adding additional names to his enemies list. On Friday morning, he barked related orders.

I cut trump's tweet/truth social post from this post. If you want to read trump's tweet/truth social post go to the article. I try not to repost trump's disgusting social media posts when I can.
