Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So the Democratic hoax was really a sting operation that netted no Epstein files, that were totally not on Bondi's desk, so we don't need to see them? Got it.
You just can't make this shut up. Nobody, I mean nobody would believe it if you wrote it.
Your claim can be debunked by looking at r/conservative or MSN comments :(
So...was it a hoax, or was he an "informant", gay Mike? Choose one. I guess, like his sex life, he's trying to have it both ways.
Informants are criminals working off a debt to law enforcement to lower their sentence or avoid prosecution for their own crimes.
Are they sure this is the angle they want to take?
The newest spin. Trump: "I had to have sex with those underage girls in order to save all of the other underage girls! I am the greatest american hero ever!".
"White hat" pedophile
A twitch chatter used the same term in Atrioc's stream where this was presented, saw it on YouTube and had to laugh
Stupid is as stupid does.
Of all the things that never happened, this one didn’t happen the most.
So wait…. It’s not a democrat hoax?
Not this week
It took them this long to come up with this nonsense ?
Also, informants are criminals, so is he saying Trump committed crimes but worked with the FBI to get a deal ?
If this were true Trump would have never shut up about it.
Bullshit. He knew he was going to be implicated and stayed far as fuck away from that 100%. He was an actual informant, he would have been out there at the begins teaming that to his base and providing documentation to back that up. Not what happened at all, so we knew the truth.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA.
But I thought it was a "Democratic Hoax"? Now Taco was Johnny Law's man on the inside? Of the "Democratic Hoax", right? 🤣
I suspect Trump was an FBI informant, but back in the 80s when he ratted out the Mafia, which helped build the career of Giuliani, and which opened the door to the Russian mob getting into power. And that's why criminal investigations of Trump would grind to a halt for no apparent reason.
You'd think an informant, presumably at the center of the operation, would have a better word to describe it than "hoax".
I wonder what excuse they’ll use next week
your FACE is the Epstein list
So he's a rat?
prove it
Hahahahahahaha
More like Trump got angry that Epstein poached some of his staff, and decided to drop dime on him as retribution.
🙄
Prove it.
well you see, the evidence Trump collected led to the arrest of uhhh ummm uhhh trust me okay
Sorry but that information is classified.
Cool and since that's obviously documents just release the files.
Why wouldn’t he say this?
Americans don’t mind. If they had serious objections and not just performative outrage, surely they would do something about it.
