This is an administration of file clerks. Each one of them engaged in some form of scouring, manipulating, spilling, shredding, posting, fabricating, hiding, flushing, misrepresenting or over-dramatizing what is stored (or not) in the depths of the deep state, if not in the gold leaf encrusted bathroom closets of Mar-a-Lago, or stuffed in a MAGA-branded golf bag. All done at the direction of man-child Trump.
None of us could escape the din over the Epstein files these past two weeks. The files that MAGA nation has been salivating over, that AG Blondi dangled in front of the MAGAts to quicken their pulses, promising to reveal all of the sins of the heathen liberal elites. Then came the July 7 FBI/DOJ memo, which began ironically with the phrase “As part of our commitment to transparency . . . .” But then concluded “that no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted.” Although it did provide a link to an 11-hour video feed of Epstein’s cell, minus 3 minutes. Riveting.
What? No revelations of the sordid doings of Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Richardson, George Mitchell? All we’re left with are the known facts about Trump as a sexual predator and close friend of Epstein. As with so many other dark conspiracy-driven investigations by the far right, from Benghazi to voter fraud to Burisma, they deny the obvious, dig furiously for what they want to believe, and find only their empty souls.
Enter our esteemed file clerk Mike Lawler, one of the first to raise his hand to defend the Whitest House whenever Trump shifts on his throne.
Assignment one: amplify Trump’s message that only stupid people still talk about Epstein.
Assignment two: get people to look away, and focus on those other files about the “Russia hoax.” Last Friday, Director of Unintelligence (DUI)Tulsi Gabbard, while directing under the influence (DUI), declassified “New Evidence of Obama Administration Conspiracy to Subvert President Trump’s 2016 Victory and Presidency.” Within an hour of Gabbard’s bombshell release, there was chief jester Clerk Lawler in the FOX den demanding that Obama be held accountable:
Never mind the endless investigations confirming Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, most notably the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence chaired by Marco Rubio. Gabbard’s stunt is a blast of smoke and mirrors intended to distract, an attempt to redeem herself after losing favor during the Iran drama. Yesterday she offered a bonus dump of declassified MLK Jr. files. Are you distracted yet?
And what about the self-confessed sexual predator responsible for an attempted coup and assault on the Capitol, which we all watched? No calls for accountability from Mike. No, Mike is just thrilled to be acknowledged as “Mr. SALT” by his idol, posting this over the weekend:
Honored to be recognized by a man who posted a fake video over the weekend showing Obama being tackled and arrested by the FBI in the Oval Office while Trump watches and smiles, with soundtrack of the Village People singing “YMCA.”
Believe what you see Mike Lawler do each and every week. Lawler represents Donald Trump and his personal ambitions. Not us village people.
