Trump has said he can grab women by the pussy . . . was adjudicated to have raped a woman he swore was “Not His Type” . . . allegedly walked into teen-age girls’ dressing rooms . . . and has done everything he can to keep the Epstein files from coming out — even hauling one Republican Congresswomen into the Situation Room to browbeat her (unsuccessfully) into withdrawing her name from the discharge petition that finally got a vote after a 7-week Congressional recess designed to avoid it (leading some to brand his obedient G.O.P., “Guardians Of Pedophiles.)

As you know, once it was clear Trump would lose that vote, he claimed to be for release of the files.

Had that been true, he could simply have instructed the Justice Department to release them.

Now he’ll likely instruct the Department to find other ways to delay, obstruct, and redact.
