In reply to the discussion: Another possible explanation of why Trump is now supporting the release of the Epstein Files: [View all]
Wiz Imp
(8,176 posts)24. Trump is NOT "supporting" releasing the Epstein files.
If he supported releasing the files, he would just go ahead and release them. The discharge petition/legislation exists only because he refuses to release them on his own. He has full authority to telease them completely on his own at any time. He's telling people to vote for it because he knows it's going to pass and he can't stand to be on the losing side of something. If he really was ok with the files being released, he wouldn't have brought Lauren Boebert into THE SITUATION ROOM! to pressure her to remove her signature. Nor would he have rescinded his support for Marjorie Taylor Greene less 24 hours earlier because of her position on this.

Reason I don't believe this will happen, is Republicans won't be able to survive more sleight of hand tricks.

Trump may have something up his sleeve, but it's pretty disgusting if he has people advising him on this

It's a charade. He could have the files released right now by his own order.

They will say that they can't release the files because they are now under review for the investigation of Democrats.
