MaddowBlog-Speaker Mike Johnson's strategy on Epstein Files Transparency Act fails in spectacular fashion

5. I think most of us suspect there's a backdoor on all this weird maneuvering

The pocket veto is one way out. There would be screams and gnashing of teeth but Trump and his billionaires might believe the outrage would simmer down after the holiday, the electorate distracted by the next bright, shiny event. There's the Bondi 'save' on opening investigations into Trump's Democratic enemies--Larry Summer, Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, etc--and their possible ties to Epstein, and then claims that the files need to remain closed for future prosecutions.

The 'scrubbing' of the files is another possibility. Personally, I felt a little queasy when I saw Musk greeting Trump last night at the State dinner. Trump smiled broadly, then reached out and patted the man on the chest as if to say 'Thanks, Buddy."

Hummmmm. If I wanted to scrub material, make it disappear forever without a trace, who would I turn to??

There's something nefarious afoot because there's no way Agent Orange will willingly expose himself. Unless it's to children, that is.

Sickening!
