Mr. Trump you are not exhibiting full disclosure as promised and YOUR handling of the matter (by direction or oversight) only makes it look like a cover-up of some sort. That is just sound advise. Indeed the admonition from you to one questioner at a press conference yesterday that reporters and all Americans move on “to more important things” instead of matters involving Epstein is deflecting and without merit.
You have to know we don’t care about Epstein the creep — he died by hanging — we DO care about the young victims and the perps that are going unpunished and any cover-up. It was mind-boggling for you not recognize that legitimate concern. Way to go. Prior to your expressed irritation and failed elucidation the matter was largely a Democrat scandal and now Mr 4D chess is making it a Trump administration scandal smacking of participation in a deep-state cover-up to protect . . . whoever.
Questions remain, legitimate questions about who was involved with Epstein. By testimony of victims he was not the only perp. The dismissal of the whole matter which YOU have so disdainfully given, now aggravates a question that was only a darker suspicion before. I do not believe it but way to go in fostering the specter Mr Heart of America / pulse of the people.
While the all too coincidental failures in the prison security systems are compellingly suspicious the one minute gap in the released tape, not admitted to at the time, is either damning or an indication of egregious stupidity, a PR blunder at best. It is not about you Mr President unless you make it so and you are in the process of doing just that. What people are properly concerned about is bringing to justice the other perps especially because they are rich and powerful. Some of your defenders have intimated, that not knowing something or not releasing the files (and their chain of custody) is for our own good. We say if you can handle it we can handle it. Mr. Trump your authenticity, is dripping away because of this and your disdainfulness toward so many of your own supporters.
It is not us who should shut up and move on it is you who should straighten up and fly right. Actually engendering cynicism about the powers that includes you is not a good plan. Dance with the ones that brought you Donald.

Hello Catisout. I’m responding to your comment on Town hall.
Thanks much for getting back to me. My name is Roger Mall and I am in Davenport, Iowa. My complements again on the value and thoroughness of your posts on Townhall.
As you can see the frequency of posts on this little blog has really fallen off in recent years and traffic is minimal but it is useful to retain it and invigorate it especially as we approach the midterms. Its focus is Iowa and national.
Your style of posts are often the sort of recitations that people crave as evidenced by the approvals and favorable replies yours receive. They are the sort that people like to circulate to others in sync with their way of thinking or to argue with them, perhaps to challenge liberal recitations of faults about conservatives. They are wonderful fodder as is and when provided with direct referenced links to each item, to sort of substantiate or serve as an example of the line item point made, would be authoritative even if polemic. Most do not really need it as the very point is searchable but doing so could be a nice touch. Many comment protocols do not allow extensive links as a security regulation Veritaspac.com can embed all that are appropriate..
Perhaps you have a blog or place to post them that would be a direct link? That is the nature of my first inquiry. If there is a way to directly link to them say on Townhall (or any of Salem’s properties) perhaps through Disqus I am not aware. Sure one can link to the Townhall story and refer to Francis X Cormody comment or if they are a member of Disqus link that way but they are not direct (that I am aware how to do) such that yours (or mine) pop up in all their glory.
If you do not have such a directly linkable place for your work how about allowing them to be posted or sending them to veritaspac.com ? If that is a possibility for you I will give you a direct to me email address and we can set up a reliable private contact mechanism or discuss it further. Basically I will post them as you send them or copy and paste them from wherever I see them. So yes I am looking for content as a service to politicos in Iowa which due to its first in the nation presidential caucuses has some extra early influence on national affairs every four years or so.
Comments on Townhall and other blog sites are useful but only allow a somewhat clumsy presentation of work like yours. They are split if over a certain digital length. Formatting is not flexible. They do not provide for thematic organization or any related searchability. Most do not allow embedded pictures or graphs (unless yours is a featured submission which I encourage you to do) and as I mentioned many do not allow a lot of links as a commenter should that be a desired feature to authenticate items. There are also often paywalls to read them and to reply to them. Veritaspac.com does not require that.
As for veritaspac.com you can see by scrolling through it is basic, amateurish, somewhat of a political diary (not unlike others including substacks) but allows the features I mentioned AND NO PAY WALLS. I use WordPress as the template. It has not been monetized, – no advertising – not that I would reject it but have never pursued it and given its circulation and pedigree probably more trouble than lucrative. I do not receive any compensation nor am I offering anyone something other than an outlet in service to conservatism. Veritaspac.com is a creature of veritaspac a small Iowa statewide political action committee that can legally be a financial vehicle for contributions used as independent expenditures or contributions to candidates. That totally depends on soliciting and I have not taken the time to pursue. The expenses of maintaining the blog site I personally insure as far as hosting, (GoDaddy at this time) and domain registrations. Being a PAC in Iowa does not cost anything but it does require reporting which I do as Chairman.
I work a day job so this is a part-time thing reflecting my worldly concerns in support of conservatism with the focuses mentioned in the “about” section and elsewhere. Previously my writing would be posted at V’pac primarily but I have simply gone the route of comments here and there as my outlet, neglecting V’pac. It is not hard but a post at V’pac takes a little longer. That is my task. I intend to do more at V’pac.com in order to keep it more timely. I have had content contributors in the past as you can see particularly a few years ago when I was more active with it.
So may I post the point by point recitation you made in Townhall yesterday which I will credit and introduce briefly?
May I post others (copy and paste) you have done with attributions and copyright retained by you)?
If permission is allowed do you want to send them direct as you produce them for posting whether once a week once a month once a year or if like me whenever you get around to them or the mood strikes? Other than brief attributed quotes i want to have permission and properly credit items of any length. Please send whatever response to this to jfsendit@gmail.com
Regards
