Comer: We never discussed clemency because of the survivors, but Maxwell's new demand is "for the president to decide"

"What are your thoughts about Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyers saying she needs clemency before she testifies?" Garcia asked Comer as he exited the committee room.

Comer had a bemused look on his face as he concocted an answer.

"Well, I don't know," Comer began. "Initially, she said a month ago that she would testify if we granted her immunity on the Oversight Committee. We discussed that, and met with the survivors, and they didn't support that, so we never considered it."

"This was something new today," Comer added. "Obviously, that's not something for me to decide. That's for the president to decide."

Slurring Sloppy Drunk "Judge" Drinky McWinebox moves to dismiss Bannon J-6 case "in the interests of justice"

Federal prosecutors on Monday moved to drop a criminal case brought during the Biden administration against Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Donald Trump who was convicted years ago for thumbing his nose at lawmakers investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

In a request to the federal judge in Washington, DC, who oversaw Bannon’s trial, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said “the government has determined in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice.”

Pirro asked US District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, to dismiss the matter with prejudice, which, if granted, would mean prosecutors are barred from refiling the case.

Maxwell explicitly and unambiguously promises to absolve Trump of guilt in exchange for clemency

Trump has insisted he is innocent of any wrongdoing and raged about the investigation as a “hoax” by Democrats, but he has not ruled out a Maxwell pardon.

Maxwell’s lawyer released a lengthy statement calling for the president to take action in exchange for her speaking out in a way that would appear to absolve him.

“Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump. Only she can provide the complete account. Some may not like what they hear, but the truth matters,” Maxwell’s lawyer David Oscar Markus said.

He then suggested what she would elaborate on if Trump’s took action: “For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing.”

QUIET, PIGGY UPDATE: United Auto Workers official confirms TJ Sabula kept his job and "has no discipline on his record"

A United Auto Workers official confirmed Monday that Local 600 line worker TJ Sabula kept his job and "has no discipline on his record" despite calling Trump a "pedophile protector" during his Jan. 13 visit to a Ford Motor Co. plan in Dearborn — triggering an obscene response from the president, reported The Detroit News.

"TJ, we got your back," said UAW Vice President Laura Dickerson during a Washington, D.C., speech Monday morning.


Trump responded to the insult by flashing his middle finger and mouthing the words "f--k you" twice at the worker before mouthing his "you're fired" catchphrase from his reality TV show "The Apprentice."

"Well, this ain't 'The Apprentice,'" Dickerson said.

Trump's BULLSH*T remark about Bad Bunny's dancing being "dangerous for children" is sticking in my F*CKING CRAW.

An AMBITIOUS WRITER could fill an ENTIRE BOOK with NOTHING BUT a chronology of Trump's PROJECTION.

"Every accusation is a confession."

The more we learn about the Epstein files...especially what Bondi is suppressing...the more I feel in my gut that HE FUCKING DID IT.

That creepy stalker bullshit about Jeff is so fucking fun, "some say" he likes beautiful women as much as me, "many of them on the younger side..."

HOW THE FUCK can ANYONE READ THAT and NOT have their SKIN CRAWL FOR DAYS?

I think he did it. I'm not seeing any disqualifying evidence saying he DID NOT. He's an ADJUDICATED FUCKING RAPIST who said he had to go into the dressing rooms at his beauty pageants to "inspect the merchandise."

And let's not forget Access Hollywood.

But that fucking BULLSHIT about Bad Bunny's dancing being an issue because "children might be watching" is STILL PISSING ME OFF.

I hope ONE OF TWO THINGS.

1). This fat fuck ends up behind bars, or

2). ORREX GETS WHAT HE WANTS, and FUCKING SOON.

.....> end of rant.

KID MILLI VANILLI! Kid Rock lip synchs through half time show in a tutorial on "white" doesn't necessarily make "right"

I would be tempted to say "He must be embarrassed," but just like his hero Trump, I don't think he's capable of feeling that emotion.

Kid Rock’s own fans were left wondering whether he was lip-syncing at MAGA’s anti-Super Bowl.

Rock, 55, jumped up onstage in a fur vest and his signature black hat for a high-powered performance of his 1999 song “Bawitdaba.” He was the headliner for Turning Point USA’s “All-American Halftime Show,” intended to counter Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny’s highly anticipated performance in California.

Notably, Kid Rock didn’t take the stage until after Bad Bunny had left the official Super Bowl halftime stage.

“Was Kid Rock doing a really bad job of lip syncing or is my audio out of sync?” one X user wrote.

BUM OINTMENT FACTORIES run EMERGENCY DOUBLE SHIFTS to SOOTHE MAGAts after "Epstein Survivors Super Bowl Ad"

MAGA fans lash out as Epstein survivors release ad during the Super Bowl: 'A psyop'

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-maga-2675178862/

Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement lashed out at survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's heinous crimes on Sunday for releasing an advertisement during the Super Bowl.

Survivors plan to release an advertisement on social media calling out the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files. Last week, the administration released the personal information of more than 40 victims, which one survivor said on Sunday was an attempt to "silence" them.

The ad is being released at a time when Congress is preparing to depose Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, on Monday. Maxwell's attorneys have said she will invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.

News of the ad by survivors didn't sit well with some fans of Trump's MAGA movement, who shared their reactions on social media.

Observers roast Trump's 'psychotic' Super Bowl meltdown: 'Grandpa found his phone'

Observers roast Trump's 'psychotic' Super Bowl meltdown: 'Grandpa found his phone'

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-2675196078/

Trump posted on Truth Social that Puerto Rican artist Bad Bunny's performance during the halftime show was "an affront" to America and said there was "nothing inspirational" about the first Spanish-language halftime show.

"It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World."

Trump's comments caused a stir on social media, with political analysts and observers mocking the president's outburst.

"Grandpa found his phone at the nurse’s station," former political journalist Ron Fournier posted on X.

LUTNICK. Wouldn't it just be easier to compile a list of Trump goons who were NOT in cahoots with Epstein?

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."
