āWeāre Going To Loseā: Steve Bannon Warns Withholding Epstein Files Would Doom GOP

From theĀ Daily Caller News Foundation
By Jason Cohen
Former White House adviser Steve Bannon warned on Friday that Republicans would suffer major losses if President Donald Trumpās administration does not move to release documents related to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epsteinās crimes and associations.
AxiosĀ reportedĀ on Sunday that a two-page memo showed the Department Of Justice (DOJ) and FBIĀ foundĀ no evidence Epstein kept a āclient listā or was murdered, but publicĀ doubtsĀ have continued. Bannon said on āBannonās War Roomā that failure to release information would lead to the dissipation of one-tenth of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement and significant losses for the Republican Party in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election.

As aĀ nonprofit, we are dependentĀ on the generosity of our readers.
Please consider makingĀ a small donation of any amount here.
Thank you!
āItās not about just a pedophile ring and all that, itās about who governs us, right? And thatās why itās not going to go away ⦠For this to go away, youāre going to lose 10% of the MAGA movement,ā Bannon said. āIf we lose 10% of the MAGA movement right now, weāre going to lose 40 seats in ā26, weāre going to lose the [presidency]. They donāt even have to steal it, which theyāre going to try to do in ā28, because theyāre going to sit there and they go, āTheyāve disheartened the hardest-core populist nationalistsā ā thatās always been who governs us.ā
Bannon alsoĀ demandedĀ the publication of all the Epstein documents on āBannonās War Roomā Thursday. He called on the DOJ to go to court and push for the release of the documents or for Trump to appoint a special counsel to manage the publication.
Epstein wasĀ arrestedĀ in 2019 and charged with sex trafficking. Shortly after, he wasĀ found deadĀ in his New York Metropolitan Correctional Center cell shortly after. Officials asserted that he hanged himself in his cell.
However, Epsteinās death has sparked years of theories because of the malfunctioning of prison cameras, along withĀ guardsĀ admitting toĀ falsifying documentsĀ about checking on the then-inmate. The DOJ inspector general later confirmed that multiple surveillance cameras outside of his cell were inoperable, while others captured the common area outside his door.
Both Bannon and Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson haveĀ speculatedĀ that Epstein had connections to intelligence agencies.
Former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta allegedly indicated that Epstein wasĀ tiedĀ to intelligence,Ā accordingĀ to Vicky Ward in The Daily Beast.

FBIās Dan Bongino may resign after dispute about Epstein files with Pam Bondi

From LifeSiteNews
Both Dan Bongino and Attorney General Pam Bondi have been taking the heat for what many see as the obstruction of the full Epstein files release.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took the day off on Friday after an argument with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epsteinās case files.
One source close to Bongino told Axios that āhe aināt coming back.ā Multiple sources said the dispute erupted over surveillance footage from outside Epsteinās jail cell, where he is said to have killed himself. Bongino had found the video and ātouted it publicly and privately as proof that Epstein hadnāt been murdered,ā AxiosĀ noted.
After it was found that there was a missing minute in the footage, the result of a standard surveillance reset at midnight, Bongino was āblamed internally for the oversight,ā according to three sources.
Trump supporter and online influencer Laura Loomer firstĀ reportedĀ Friday on X that Bongino took the day off and that he and FBI Director Kash Patel were āfuriousā with the way Bondi had handled the case.
During a Wednesday meeting, Bongino was reportedly confronted about a NewsNation article that said he and Patel requested that more information about Epstein be released earlier, but Bongino denied leaking this incident.
āPam said her piece. Dan said his piece. It didnāt end on friendly terms,ā said one source who heard about the exchange, adding that Bongino left angry.
The meeting followed Bondiās controversialĀ releaseĀ of a bombshell memo in which claimed there is no Epstein āclient listā and that āno further disclosure is warranted,ā contradicting Bondiās earlier statement that there were ātens of thousands of videosā providing the ability to identify the individuals involved in sex with minors and that anyone in the Epstein files who tries to keep their name private has āno legal basis to do so.ā
The memo āis attempting to sweep the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal under the rug,ā according to independent investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger in aĀ superb analysis published on X.
āThe DOJās sudden claim that no āclient listā exists after years of insinuating otherwise is a slap in the face to accountability,ā DOGEai noted in its response to the Shellenberger piece. āIf agencies canāt document basic facts about one of the most notorious criminal cases in modern history, thatās not a paperwork problem ā itās proof the system protects its own.ā
During a recent broadcast, Tucker Carlson discussed Bondiās refusal to release sealed Epstein files, along with the FBI and DOJĀ announcementĀ that Epstein did not have a client list and did indeed kill himself.
Carlson offered the theory that U.S. intelligence services are āat the very center of this storyā and are being protected. His guest, Saagar Enjeti, agreed. āThatās the most obvious [explanation],ā Enjeti said, referencing past CIA-linked pedophilia cases. He noted the agency had avoided prosecutions for fear suspects would reveal āsources and methodsā in court.
Investigative journalist Whitney Webb has discussed in her book āOne Nation Under Blackmail: The Sordid Union Between Intelligence and Crime That Gave Rise to Jeffrey Epstein,ā how the intelligence community leverages sex trafficking through operatives like Epstein to blackmail politicians, members of law enforcement, businessmen, and other influential figures.
Just one example of evidence of this, according to Webb, is former U.S. Secretary of Labor and U.S. Attorney Alexander Acostaās explanation as to why he agreed to a non-prosecution deal in the lead-up to Epsteinās 2008 conviction of procuring a child for prostitution. AcostaĀ toldĀ Trump transition team interviewers that he was told that Epstein ābelonged to intelligence,ā adding that he was told to āleave it alone,ā The Daily BeastĀ reported.
While Epstein himself never stood trial, as heĀ allegedly committed suicide while under āsuicide watchā in his jail cell in 2019, many have questioned the suicide and whether the well-connected financier was actually murdered as part of a cover-up.
These theories were only emboldened when investigative reporters at Project Veritas discovered that ABC and CBS NewsĀ quashedĀ a purportedly devastating report exposing Epstein.
