This is Trump's DOJ and reps from Trump's party reporting this?

MAGA is all about fire hoses of horror and disinformation. If conservative-owned, left-leaning mainstream media is reporting on this and info is being attributed to assumed loyalists, then there is something WAY worse going on or about to happen that isn't being reported, isn't there?

At this point, I can't tell if I need to take off my tin-foil hat or if Rowdy Roddy just nut-smashed some glasses on me. Good lord, I need a nap.

No need for tin foil hats, it's really bad in those files.

“A few GOP house members say they’ve heard from FBI/DOJ contacts that the Epstein files (with copies in different agencies) are worse than Michael Wolff’s description of Epstein photos showing Trump with half naked teenage girls,” Shuster wrote.

That comment points to an earlier interview with Trump biographer Michael Wolff, who told the Daily Beast in October that he had personally seen “about a dozen Polaroid snapshots” of Trump and Epstein. Wolff said the photos showed Trump with “several topless young women on his lap,” and that Epstein “pulled the photos out of a safe and spread them out like a deck of cards” while Wolff was visiting. According to the author, Epstein wanted him to write a book about his life.

If that sounds incriminating, Shuster’s report suggests the DOJ’s files could be even worse.

Yes, but the fact that every time we hear about something unimaginably horrible and shocking, it turns out that something even more horrible and shocking was happening in the background.

Which is why I say with paranoia, "tin foil hat's saying there's something worse than the thing that's worse than Polaroids of Trump with naked children."
