Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on Sunday he thinks it’s a “big mistake” for the Trump administration to release heavily redacted files on the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, saying the issue could now “plague them for months.”
“I think it’s a big mistake,” Paul said in an interview on ABC News’s “This Week,” when asked about concerns over the Justice Department’s partial release of files on Friday.
“I mean, look, the administration has struggled for months and months with something they initially ginned up and then sort of tried to tamp down. So, any evidence or any kind of indication that there’s not a full reveal on this, this will just plague them for months and months more,” he continued.
Yeah exactly. The only reason they would choose to heavily react the files and refuse to release others is because the contents of those files is absolutely decision to Trump. Paul acts like they’re just accidentally covering this up.
Right. He doesn’t want to call Trump a pedo to his face for political reasons. But he’s clearly pointing it out. Call it deceitful, call it politeness, your choice, we all understand the message.
Americans understanding subtext? That would require reading and not simply watching TV.
