The White House is planning to use the Epstein files against Democrats after they, in addition to several Republicans, successfully pressured lawmakers to vote to compel the Justice Department to release the remainder of the files against Donald Trump’s wishes.

After both chambers of Congress agreed to send the Epstein Files Transparency Act to Trump’s desk, two unnamed White House officials indicated to Politico that they plan to draw attention to Democrats who communicated with or were associated with Epstein.

“Democrats only started talking about the Epstein files once they thought they could use it to score political points against President Trump,” an unnamed White House official told Politico. “That will prove to be a mistake for them.”

    See, shit like this makes me think that the White House didn’t really have a coherent plan for the Epstein files after all, like they’re trying to make us think, and like the right and left talking heads alike have been warning us. If they did, they’d realize that we want to know if Democrats are in the files, so that we can get them the fuck out of our government, same as any Republicans in those files, and same as Trump.
