And THIS is the latest development in the Epstein bullshit: yes, Mushroom Cock hung around Epstein like the smell of piss, but only because he was informing on him to the FBI.
No, really.
On Friday, Johnson made the confusing remarks about the president when a reporter asked him about Trump repeatedly referring to the Epstein scandal as “the Democrat Epstein Hoax.”
“What Trump is referring to is the hoax that the Democrats are using to try to attack him,” Johnson said, claiming the president’s feelings on the topic had been “misrepresented.” “He is not saying what Epstein did is a hoax. It’s a terrible, unspeakable evil, and he believes that himself. When he first heard the rumor, he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago.”
Johnson then added the head-scratching claim that Trump “was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down.”
The comment sent the internet ablaze, and could surely make good South Park fodder. […]
For some in the administration, the confusion spilled over into Saturday, with some officials still unsure about whether Johnson was citing some explosive, unheard-of insider information, or if he misspoke or was freelancing extemporaneously.
“What the hell is he doing?” one senior Trump administration appointee told Rolling Stone, after being asked about the Johnson “informant” comment.
Other Trump advisers say it’s their understanding that Johnson was referencing past claims made in the media about Trump; however, these claims did not amount to the idea he was a federal “informant.”
“What the hell” indeed. As others online have noted, Trump himself is the greatest argument against this claim:
This piece also notes:
Trump claimed to have been friends with Epstein for 15 years in 2002, with the pair cutting ties in 2004. If Trump cut ties with Epstein ‘when he first heard the rumour’, how could he have been an informant before that? Are we supposed to believe the FBI asked him to snitch on Epstein with no idea as to what he should be snitching on?
Untangling this further, the idea that Trump was an uninformed informant falls down immediately, because Johnson said Trump was trying “to take this stuff down”. Take what stuff down? The stuff you just told us he had no idea about?
Yeah, this whole thing is weird and I’m stumped as to what Mike Johnson thought he was trying to achieve. Whatever it was, though, I don’t think he got it…
