The End Around: More Bad News for the Orange Cheeto

Cheeto has evaded public scrutiny over his sordid sexual predatory behavior for years First the Access Hollywood tapes, then the E Jean Carroll rape civil settlement, then the conviction in the Stormy Daniels escapade, but even his MAGA base can’t stomach the perverse pedophilia story hidden in the Epstein files In March the FBI was tasked to see how much Cheeto was mentioned in the files and with so many mentions, Cheeto decided to shut down the release of the files But then with the fallout with his compadre, Musk dropped the bomb that instigated the attention of MAGA about Cheeto’s involvement

On MSNBC last night O’Donnell interviewed Bradley Edwards primary attorney for the Epstein victims Edwards detailed how his clients have never been given due consideration by DOJ in their desire to have the files exposed to the public

Rep Ro Khanna, one of the lead Representatives in the subpoena of the files by the Congressional Oversight Committee, said in a later interview that the committee would like to hear from Edwards representing the Epstein victims Edwards also expressed that there is a lot of discovery information that between his office and the defense attorneys for Epstein a lot of information could be released without even having the DOJ release the files that they have

It appears that the public doesn’t need a distrustworthy DOJ led by the Orange Cheeto Congress can just subpoena the already existing records from the involved attorneys in the Epstein case

I agree, but for some reason Trump gets away from accountability and what’s worse our justice system treats him like a spoiled kid.

Money is the reason. Dark money, bribery money, crypto, money disguised as gifts, gold, whatever you wish to call it.

(Just to be clear, Money is NOT the root of all evil but Love of money is, at least in a capitalist society and he and his cronies seem to be those lovers.)

Dr. Dean already nailed the timeline….what he calls the “End Around” is exactly what this is. A man who’s lived his entire adult life in legal shadows, always sprinting one step ahead of accountability, now finally cornered by the one scandal even his most rabid followers can’t spin.

What chills me is how brazen it’s become. The thing hiding in plain sight isn’t just Trump’s name in those files. It’s the silence of these goddamned “institutions” DOJ red tape, compliant judges, even journalists who now seem to whisper what they used to shout.

Meanwhile, the victims? They’re still being ignored unless their lawyers show up on cable with receipts.

I’ve been trying to track this pattern in my own work, but even I didn’t expect Congress to move this fast. That tells me one thing: the damned dam is at least cracking. Not because of conscience, but because the leverage math finally changed.

If you’re reading this and want a deeper dive into how containment works how stories like this get managed, redirected, neutered…I’ve been connecting dots in a few dark corners most folks don’t want to touch.

Not saying where. Just saying… it’s probably one scroll away. Maybe even hiding in plain sight. 👀

The Trump mob will not only attempt to silence Maxwell, with a pardon , but they will feel a need to apply pressure to ensure that Maxwell is not subpoenaed to answer questions that will expose her to a perjury charge. Pleading be 5th may be the only tool Maxwell will have to avoid further jail time. This whole scenario is corrupted from the beginning.

I think that we all should express our disdain for Trump overtly as possible…. “Sack Trump” would be a succinct and direct mantra…. use it frequently and saturate social media , t-shirts, protest signs , letters to our representatives, shout it incessantly at town halls and everywhere we can express our absolute protest & disgust at this failed presidency & his pathetic administration.

Sounds like its time for a podcast featuring the victims and their stories. Lets face it, they were the people abused and used by Epstein and his compadres. Lets hear from them directly and put this to rest.

I agree with this 100%. And for him to release MLK change the name on the Kennedy center while trying and releasing the JFK files he’s doing everything to dip in Dodge. What’s about to come down because you can only run so far and I think he’s coming to the end of the lineeither this is gonna take him out or his health

There is no statute of limitations in the State of Florida concerning sexual battery of a victim under the age of 16. Presidential immunity would not apply, were President Trump to be charged in that regard.

Absolutely, Linda. it's so disgusting for all these people (not just TV) now cow-tow to the Deranged Psycho Dictator. The censorship by the Dingbat in the Oval Office and his cronies has gone way too far. Hope we survive as a republic/democracy. Chances are looking slimmer and slimmer.

This administration has been very mean, about migrants. Men, women, children. It doesn’t seem to matter to people. We are all human beings and should not have let this happen.

This administration has been mean to EVERYONE. the Pukes are just too stupid (or afraid?) to see it. They need to pay attention to what the Dingbat in the Oval Office has done to his once-supporters in our government. One little "wrong" word and all of sudden the Dump believes they're his enemies...... What a paranoid idiot.

Let's make Good Trouble and Strike! We must stop The tRump and his administration from hell! The demonic tRump and his billionaire oligarch only care about money. LET'S SHUT THIS FUCKIN’ COUNTRY DOWN!!!

General Strike US supporters are organizing a National Strike. The most powerful strikers are the workers who are employed by the national multi-billionaire companies like Amazon, chain stores and restaurants who have locations in nearly every state across the country, like Amazon, Walmart, McDonald's along with technology and auto, like Tesla, Apple, Meta, Alphabet workers like these will have the most impact. Keep your money in your own communities and support small grocery stores, restaurants and businesses instead.

The most important thing Non-Strikers and everyone can do is stop making the greedy billionaire oligarchs even richer. STOP SHOPPING and BUYING from INTERNATIONAL BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES! Make yourselves richer and buy GROCERIES ONLY until we get the Limp Dick Traitor and his evil administration from hell, out of the White House and out of our government!!!

I hope and pray that the evil Epstein will, ironically and literally from the grave, have the final word, by taking down the most powerful perverts in modern history!

The Epstein issue is very important and needs to be completely reviewed but please do not forget about all the other illegal actions by Trump and his toadies. Immigration and pullinmg people off the streets and theri beds.

The missing point that no one wants to link Trump with is the FBI findings that Trump was laundering money from the Russian oligarch Rubalof, who was purchasing the Florida property from Trump for 90 million, after Trump paid only 54 million. It's in the Epstein files because Trump screwed Epstein from his purchase of it at a 34 million purchase contract.

Getting Trump is harder than finding Saddam Hussain. We need someone to rat him out and say which hole he’s crawled into.

Thanks I used Mobilize.us to search for both these events. The Families First organizers did a great job posting their events on Mobilize.us and gave me plenty of time to plan. But I wasn't able to find the Good Trouble locations, date and time until the day before.
