Drumpf has 14 phone contacts in Epstein's Blackbook as Business Insider reported. Sarah Ransome confirmed Drumpf as a routine abuser at Epstein's Manhattan mansion. When you say a child rapist "says" that has a lot of credibility as the lowest scum evil in prison.

Conceptual distinction between the Trump cult of personality and alternatives evades you, got it.

Sure.

I'll believe it when I see it. Clearly, he's a man who can be controlled as all of them in the past have been by the intelligence agencies. Why would he buck them now when he refused to before merely on advice by those same intelligence heads? By law he was supposed to release them. He is not an honest actor.

Trump and Biden were seemingly very different presidents but they both caved to the CIA. Biden went so far as to gut the JFK records act which he had supported while a US Senator. The CIA knows how to control the chief executive of either party. They are wagging the dog big time.

Looking at this with a healthy dose of skepticism. That said, there is the possibility that Trump could nonetheless declassify the documents as a means of paying back a political debt to RFK II for his support and assistance. But there is also the possibility that should Trump attempt this the CIA could appeal the case to the Supreme Court on the grounds of National Security. With their reputation at stake, there's no doubt that the Agency would take such an extreme action.

The CIA shouldn't have standing to object to the president's decision and his determination of what threatens national security and what doesn't, nor should the CIA be able to override the federal law which mandates disclosure.

If the CIA can do any of this, then it should be apparent to all that we don't live in a democracy by any definition, or in a republic.

The CIA also lacks the standing to start wars. But that is precisely what they were attempting to do with the Bay of Pigs invasion. Kennedy called their bluff and publicly took the blame for the unmitigated failure of the operation after which he fired the real culprits for lying to him.

The CIA has been and is still committing crimes globally. They actually run the country with the Pentagon, the DOD, the DHS, and Mossad. Sometimes the FBI too. We don't have a "government" just a crime syndicate running things.

I wonder how many others who follow this site agree that we have lost our government to an oligarchy. I proposed putting it to a vote below.

It's always been an oligarchy. The electoral college, the Senate, and SCOTUS are anti democratic. They allow for tyranny of the minority, the minority being the OLIGARCHS. Remember, the "founders" were WEALTHY, WHITE, MEN.

Okay, good point, but it seems a lot worse now, a criminal syndicate, as you put it. American oligarchs haven't always been interested in maintaining a world wide empire as they do now. Remember Washington s speech about avoiding foreign entanglements. Everything seems worse for the ordinary citizen since JFK was assassinated. Look at the choice of presidential candidates they have given us this time. They couldn't be worse.

Ummm... Yes they were. Remember Israel was carved out in the 1940's by the UN. And the US helped finance Hitler's rise. The "founders" were colonizers. Colonizers don't stop until they're made to. The genocide of the indigenous Americans is still happening😞

I still read letters to my local paper extolling the divine wisdom of the founding fathers for having built into the Constitution safeguards against the 'tyranny of the majority'. Among the most important of these so called safeguards is the electoral college.

Trump is almost fun to watch when he is doing an interview. The minute something comes to his mouth he says it, whether it has anything to do with the topic or not

Pompeii is probably saying I never said that

Yep drive right up to Area 51 and they’ll let you in for the tour. Been there many times

Do you think he read any of those files. The man doesn’t read anything

Finally when he uses the word sir that’s a tell. It means he’s about ready to lie, which is interesting because he lies a majority of the time

He's Putin's puppet - an out-of-control puppet, that is. Might be tertiary syphilis, in fact.

Mistreated syph can surface years later and Trump has all the symptoms.

While still at Fox News Tucker Carlson invited Michael Pompeo to be a guest on his show to address Trump's claim that his CIA director asked him not to release the remaining JFK related CIA documents. The politically ambitious Pompeo almost never turned down an invitation from the powerful conservative media figure who had the top rated show on Fox News. But he turned this invitation down.

The host of the country's most popular conservative TV news show offered the former CIA director Mike Pompeo a chance to clear the air about his advising Trump to keep the remaining records on JFK secret. For an ambitious political figure like Pompeo to turn down such exposure is a rare occurrence. He either didn't want to publicly contradict Trump or he had no good answer about why he wanted those documents to remain secret. The latter I am guessing. Carlson had already said he was going to push back on the well worn 'sources and methods' response.

By the way Paula I appreciate what you said but no one has ever been able to control Trump. But there is always a first time

Plus him opening the files takes focus off him. That’s a big no no

I don’t believe for a minute that he read any of those docs, or anything else for that matter. Nor do I believe he will release them.

Trump's not a reader.

He reneged on his promise to do so before. Fool me once.

One of the "good people" Trump refers to was Mike Pompeo who as head of the CIA wanted to assassinate journalist and publisher Julian Assange for revealing US war crimes. In America, you get punished for telling the truth.

Pompeo was likely the goodest of the good people.

Rogan asked why he reneged on his previous promise to release all remaining records. Trump whiffed on his response. Grab your wallet when Trump starts talking about the ‘good people’.

Trump vs the CIA at the Supreme Court. Vegas could get in on this. What would be the over/under on this

One thing would be sure. Thomas could get rich off the bribes

Trump has already paid his debt to Kennedy. He’s given him more PR and more time in front of the camera

i was a NY elector for RFK (who i have known for decades as a fellow environmental lawyer) when he threw his support behind Trump, I told Bobby that i want to be on any commission that he establishes to review the records.

Very important that he does so (include you on any commission). My assumption is that the deep state can’t rely on Trump failing to follow thru. My fear is that some remaining records will disappear ie. Go the way so many others have gone.

I concur but I don't think it is going to happen I think Trump will jettison him in the first six months
