MAGA influencers are short-circuiting after President Donald Trump’s Division of Justice on Sunday leaked a memo saying there aren’t any bombshell recordsdata about convicted intercourse offender Jeffrey Epstein and that the deceased financier certainly dedicated suicide in a federal jail.
“This systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list,'” mentioned the joint memo from the DOJ and FBI, which was obtained by Axios. “There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”
Trump and his aides—together with Legal professional Basic Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino—had beforehand mentioned the federal government was sitting on an Epstein shopper checklist to guard the highly effective individuals inside it. Bongino additionally purchased into the conspiracy that Epstein was murdered in a jail to maintain damaging details about highly effective individuals from popping out in a trial.
After Trump reentered the White Home, Bondi tried to appease the bottom that was demanding the discharge of the purported Epstein recordsdata by holding a stunt on the White Home the place she gave a gaggle of Trump-loving social media personalities binders it claimed had been stuffed with the purported paperwork.
The binders, nonetheless, contained no new proof and led to yet one more MAGA meltdown.
When Trump’s MAGA base demanded extra info, Bondi instructed Fox Information that she had Epstein’s shopper checklist “sitting on my desk proper now to evaluate“—a remark we now know to be a lie because the DOJ mentioned in its memo that no shopper checklist ever existed.
MAGA influencers as soon as once more are incensed as they work out who they’ll blame for this newest let down: Bondi, Patel, Bongino, or Pricey Chief himself.
“Blondi lied[.] She was always lying,” right-wing bigot/influencer Laura Loomer wrote in a publish on X, including, “Who releases a statement about the Epstein files on the Sunday night of 4th of July weekend? Someone who doesn’t want you paying attention.”
“Pam Bondi said the Epstein client list was on her desk to review for release to the public just a few months ago. Now the DOJ she leads claims that there’s no Epstein client list. Sorry but this is unacceptable,” right-wing podcaster Robby Starbuck wrote in a publish on X. “Was she lying then or is she lying now? We deserve answers.”
“Dan Bongino either lied to us on his podcast for several years or he is lying to us now,” Alexander Sheppard, a pardoned Capitol insurrectionist, wrote in a publish on X.
And Mike Cernovich, a Trump fan who posed gleefully with the phony Epstein recordsdata on the White Home in February, pleaded for Trump to launch the recordsdata he desperately needs to imagine exist.
“No one is believing the Epstein coverup, @realDonaldTrump. This will be part of your legacy. There’s still time to change it!” Cernovich wrote in a publish on X.
In the meantime, billionaire Elon Musk, the previous co-president turned persona non grata in Trump-land, additionally mocked the Trump administration over the Epstein memo.
Musk, who only a few weeks in the past mentioned the Trump administration was sitting on the Epstein recordsdata as a result of Trump was in them, posted a meme mocking those that believed the Epstein recordsdata would ever launched as clowns.
