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.

        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.

    These have almost certainly been sanitized to remove Dear Leader and anyone who dolled out $ for “his inauguration”. And unless anyone had a copy pre-Barr allowing Epstein a way out, we’ll never see a real version.

    “This level of deception is something I’d expect to see from the Biden admin,” she wrote in one post.

    Jesus these guys are delusional. Literally everyone else expected this. Also, they’re probably both on the list, let’s be honest here.

      Nah, if he was there’s not a chance in hell Trump wouldn’t have personally said so to any camera he could get his face in front of.

    Something happens and MAGA gets upset. Liberals just like, really? Did y’all really think he was going to catch your back?

    I mean FFS, Trump let thousands of his own supporters die from a once in a lifetime (knock on wood) pandemic. Did you seriously think Horse Paste McGee was looking out for your best interest?

      Pretty much expecting that, but more like this:

      Records show that [REDACTED] took [REDACTED] and placed her in [REDACTED] room where [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. Bill Clinton was also found to have visited with [REDACTED]. Bill Gates and George Soros also met [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] with [REDACTED]. OBAMA [REDACTED] [REDACTED](wasn’t there).

    Pam Bondi has spent the last week erasing every important Republican she found, and probably penciling in major Democrats who were never on the list to begin with. We’ll have no way of knowing, it’s now a hit piece on Democrats, not an expose on pedophiles

    Whatever gets released will be nowhere near the full truth.

    I bet not a single MAGAt influencer notices a lack of Trump in the files.
