Trump 'Furious' Over Epstein Files, For Whom?
The Independent reports that Marjorie Taylor Greene stated on '60 Minutes' that Donald Trump was 'furious' with her for advocating the release of the Jeffrey Epstein client list, saying women trafficked by Epstein 'deserve everything they’re asking.' This purported 'fury' from Trump is quite the pivot from his past relationship with Epstein, including a 2002 quote to New York Magazine calling
Epstein a 'terrific guy.' The mainstream press frames this as internal GOP squabbling; we'd suggest it's more about protecting the powerful. We’re told the Swamp needs draining, but when a politician, even one as polarizing as Greene, supports transparency on an issue that implicates wealthy and connected individuals, the outrage comes from within the supposed 'anti-establishment' camp. How many
'terrific guys' are we supposed to overlook before asking who truly benefits from continued secrecy? The timing of this 'fury' raises more questions about who feared exposure than it does about party loyalty.
