Where's the List?

The current maladministration is in trouble. Last year, we all thought that big issue was the price of eggs. The MAGA faithful didn't seem to care about the myriad reports of Yamtit's sexual deviancy - they were more concerned that President Biden seemed to sniff hair. The Epstein Files ™ appeared to be only a footnote in the campaign rhetoric.
Of all the promises he made and has already broken, however, it's the promised release of those files that seems to be the one breaking the camel's back. Even orange-nosed House Speaker Johnson (R-LA) is not pleased:
First Bondi said that the list was on her desk, then she said it had "disappeared", and then she said there was no list. Do they believe our memories are that short?
Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell is saying that if there is no list, she should be released from jail. She certainly has a point. If she was convicted for sex trafficking, then there had to be clients they were trafficked to. They can't have it both ways.
As the saying goes: the schadenfruede is delicious.
Day 177... 1284 to go
Of all the promises he made and has already broken, however, it's the promised release of those files that seems to be the one breaking the camel's back. Even orange-nosed House Speaker Johnson (R-LA) is not pleased:
Mike Johnson, speaker of the House, called for the justice department to make public documents related to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, breaking with Donald Trump over an issue that has roiled the president’s rightwing base.
It was a rare moment of friction between Trump and the speaker, a top ally on Capitol Hill, and came as the president faces growing backlash from conservatives who had expected him to make public everything known about Epstein, who killed himself in 2019 while in federal custody as he faced sex-trafficking charges.
Last week, the justice department announced that his death was a suicide and that, despite conspiracy theories to the contrary, there was no list of his clients to be made public nor would there be further disclosures about the case. Conservative allies of the president have since criticized him and the attorney general, Pam Bondi, for what they see as opaque handling of a case that Trump campaigned on getting to the bottom of.
First Bondi said that the list was on her desk, then she said it had "disappeared", and then she said there was no list. Do they believe our memories are that short?
Meanwhile, Ghislaine Maxwell is saying that if there is no list, she should be released from jail. She certainly has a point. If she was convicted for sex trafficking, then there had to be clients they were trafficked to. They can't have it both ways.

Good morning, bloggers!!!
I suspect that we will hear about the Epstein case for sometime as it does seem to be riling up the MAGA base.
I wonder how this will play out. I am not sure that many in the MAGA base can admit that they were wrong about their icon.

This is starting to look more and more like Berlin, 1945.
