So today all the news about Drumphf administration is bad. really bad.
First, we have reports that Kash Patel has ordered the blood and ballistic analysis of Renee Good’s car halted because it could disprove Trump’s claim that she was trying to “run over” an ICE Agent.
Yes, really.
Political observers raged over the weekend after the New York Times reported that FBI Director Kash Patel personally ordered local prosecutors to cease investigating the death of Renee Good because he feared it would contradict President Donald Trump's version of the killing.
The order came from Patel and other senior officials who worried that pursuing a civil rights investigation — by using a warrant obtained on that basis — would contradict Trump’s claim that Good “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer” who fired at her as she drove her vehicle. Several insiders shared the account with the news outlet.
That story stirred up a frenzy among onlookers, including former prosecutor Richard Signorelli who said, "She was intentionally murdered on video! Where the hell are the MN prosecuting authorities in all of this. I'm requesting that Tim Walz formally request that Keith Ellison take over & prosecute the murderer STAT."
They are literally halting an investigation because it may prove politically and legally inconvenient?
What was that they were saying about “Lawfare?”
And that’s not all, we also have reports that some documents from the Epstein files have mysteriously disappeared, including the original 82-page Indictment against the accused pedophile.
Details.
An 86-page Justice Department prosecution memo that included details on “potential co-conspirators” of Jeffrey Epstein “mysteriously disappeared” from the DOJ’s website after the agency was asked about the document by the Miami Herald, investigative reporter Julie Brown revealed Saturday.
“Contrary to what the FBI and DOJ have said over the past year, it turns out there really is an FBI list of other people suspected of possible wrongdoing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein,” Brown, who writes for the Herald, wrote on her Substack Saturday.
“One of the documents that outlines the DOJ investigation into ‘potential co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein’ – the DOJ’s 86-page prosecution memo – mysteriously disappeared from the Government’s website this week after we asked the DOJ about it.”
The Herald published a report earlier on Saturday about the prosecution memo, which it noted had since been removed from the DOJ’s website at the time of publication. A copy of the memo, however, was preserved by Brown before its removal and contains details about potential co-conspirators of Epstein, albeit with their names redacted.
Didn’t they tell us there “was no list?” Didn't they claim there were “no other co-conspirators” who could be charged?
RIght, they said that didn’t they? Yeah, they did.
Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown's work on the “Perversion of Justice” published by the newspaper in 2018 spurred New York federal prosecutors to open a new criminal case into Epstein, and she has been reporting on the most recent Epstein files dump, even pointing out a prosecution memo that was immediately scrubbed after reporters started asking questions.
In a follow-up to that, Brown and the Miami Herald both dropped reports on the DOJ's secret Epstein prosecution list.
"Contrary to what the FBI and DOJ have said over the past year, it turns out there really is an FBI list of other people suspected of possible wrongdoing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein," according to Brown. "President Trump, who has denied any involvement with Epstein’s crimes, is on that list, as well as a number of other powerful people."
The Herald clarifies, "After the Justice Department shut the door on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files in July 2025, FBI agents worked on drafts of a 21-page presentation of all the evidence the FBI had gathered in the case, including a summary of allegations against 11 men. There’s no evidence that Epstein, a New York financier who sexually assaulted and trafficked hundreds of girls and young women over two decades, kept his own 'client list'."
"But documents not previously made public show the FBI had compiled its own list of possible accusations against prominent men based largely on uncorroborated tips and interviews the DOJ had compiled since Epstein’s 2019 arrest. Among the names on the list: President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, private-equity investor Leon Black, L Brands founder Les Wexner, banker Jes Staley and others."
And then the document that actually has that list just suddenly disappears? Yeah, that’s not fucking suss at all.
Whoops.
There is also a report, noted in the video above, that there is apparently emails from Kash Patel’s office from last March that specifically order the FBI team performing redactions on the Epstein files to include “former Presidents, Secretaries of State and Celebrities” — which would be a direct violation of the Epstein Transparency Act which states that no redactions will be done to protection people’s “reputation.”
The
Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405) (signed Nov 2025) explicitly prohibits the Department of Justice (DOJ) from withholding or redacting documents solely to prevent embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity for public figures or officials. It requires public release of records, allowing exemptions only for victim privacy, child sexual abuse materials (CSAM), active investigations, or national security.
So if they aren’t supposed to redact for “political sensitivity for public figures or officials” why did Kash Patel’s office order them to redact “Presidents and Celebrities?” Shouldn’t that guidance have been recinded? Was it recinded?
Hmm…
Then there’s this little bit of news, Republicans have been ordered not to ask Pam Bondi about the “Epstein files” in an upcoming hearing. Gee, I wonder why not?
Attorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Feb. 11, but according to journalist Aaron Parnas, Republicans on the committee have been instructed not to mention the Justice Department’s botched release of files on Jeffrey Epstein.
“Epstein survivors tell me that they were told in meetings with Republican lawmakers that everyone was supportive of asking Pam Bondi hard questions about the Epstein files,” Parnas wrote in a statement shared on social media Saturday.
“But, afterwards, they were told by a source in the Republican establishment that those questions won’t be asked. Republicans members have been told to avoid any questions about the files and to only focus on the ‘positives’ that Bondi accomplished.”
Uh huh.
And lastly, there’s apparently a draft document from the New York US Attorney reporting that Epstein had died in jail, only it’s dated the day before he actually died.
The draft is dated Friday, August 9th, claiming that Epstein was found dead in his cell. But that didn’t actually happen until Saturday, August 10th, and the actual letter with the new date is also modified to say that he “died of an apparent suicide.”
Yeah, I’m not saying anyone’s death was “staged” or anything...but...
I’m just saying, yeah, not anything suss here. Nope.
Not at all.
These people are really bad criminals. Just fucking terrible.
One more thing that I just picked up. Here in this video, on the question of whether Trump is truly a “racist” or not, Miles Taylor recounts a private conversation he had with Trump back in 2018 when he was DHS Chief of staff.
It happens at 7:05 in this video.
Miles Taylor:
The only thing that’s left out of that timeline [Of Trump’s racists statements and actions] is the 20 times as many incidents that happened in private with the man.
And I will confes to having gone into the first Trump administraiton thinking “he probably isn’t a bigot in his heart of hearts. That’s probably just a mean criticism of the man He’s clearly an amoral person, but he can’t be an actual bigot, right?.”
[Wrong]
Until meetings with him where you woud hear things like this and worse. I’ll give you an example. I’ll give you the receipts.
March 2019, I’m sitting in the Oval Office with the President. He’s mocking people of color that come across the border alone with their chidren and saying, and he goes into an accent;..
“Oh please help me. Help me. I need help.” Then he says, “at least if they showed up with a husband, I could put him in the fields to pick corn or something.”
Donald Trump, president of the United States, this is how the man in private views people of color, immigrants, people he doesn’t want in this country. He mocks them, he derides them.
The look on Eugene Daniel’s face as Miles says this is just priceless.
Dayy-amn.
He goes on.
So your question Vaughn, about what this means for Republicans, there’s a quiet bigotry of passing the buck. That quiet bigotry is saying, well, he did it, but not me. or the staffer did it, not me and [duh duh duh] it’s over I don’t have to say anything.
After yesterday, I now understand for the first time why you could be a young black American looking at politics and saying, “wait a second, all the peopel who didn’t say anything or pretended this was a one day story, they’re in on this. They’re in on this. And clearly, they’re supporting this guy.”
Even if those folks, those folks console themselves by sayihg, “well, i condemned him and we can move on.”
Most of them don’t even bother to do that, it’s excuses, gaslighting and whataboutism! “These are not the Apes you were looking for.”
No, if you’re someone who say the president do this and you don’t see the people in his own party vocally and consistently condemning it, you just assume they’re on board with it.
Yeah, that’s because they’re on board with it.
That’s real bad for the fabric of our country. That’s real bad for civic unity. And again, that’s a time machine back to the 18th century.
RIght, back when America was “Great.”
