A rift emerged within MAGA on Thursday after the White House opted to hand out much-hyped Jeffrey Epstein documents to conservative influencers instead of sharing it directly with the public.

Among those upset was Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Donald Trump ally who leads a task force that aims to declassify all the files related to the late sex offender. She called the release a “complete disappointment” and said she was not looped into the White House’s release plan.

“THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR,” she raged, citing a New York Post article that said the docs would not contain anything new. “GET US THE INFORMATION WE ASKED FOR.”

    Trump will not release these documents, because it would be suicide for his presidency, MAGA and his associates.

    It’s just bread and circuses for MAGA fans.

      I’m not sure what could possibly be suicide for his presidency. He was a convicted felon before he was elected a second time.

        I’m not sure what could possibly be suicide for his presidency.

        Him saying he secretly likes Democrat policies and thinks they are better at governing (but he has to run because he’s the property of Russia).

        Although only the first part would be a deal breaker for the highly intelligent Republican voter.

      This might be true if his supporters cared or the justice system would hold them accountable for anything. As it stands, it probably wouldn’t even matter.

        Oh, it will be true.

        The “influencers” in question will edit, modify, and whatever else they need to present a version that shows the contents of the files in the “best light”.

        As in “no wrongdoing was done by Epstein, Chump, or anyone else”… “Everyone’s exonerated”…

        To the extent they’re able to show.

        🤷‍♂️

      He’s protecting himself and his friends, just like any other politician in history. Go figure, Agent ORAGNE became the swamp.

        He’s Agent Red, or so-called by the KGB. Red was his skin color when they showed him their kompromat (evidence of him fucking children)?

          ORAGNE is a play on his orange tan, and Agent Orange was a chemical used in the Vietnam War, it burned away swathes of the forests, as well as injuring many Vietnamese.

            Of course. Trump is known to be compromised by Russia, which I considered to be of more concern that his gross fake orange tan.

      Honesty kind of surprised they are even touching this issue, considering their favorite guy was there, a lot. Maybe I’m being paranoid, but I’m guessing they’re editing trump out of the documents entirely. That way, they’ll release it and say “look, he’s innocent” and people will buy it. I hope this isn’t the case.
