Watch: Investigative Journalist Explains Why Epstein Case Will Never Progress…

by Tyler Durden Wednesday, Jul 09, 2025 -Authored by Steve Watson

Journalist Nick Bryant notes in this viral clip from the Shawn Ryan podcast that the Jeffrey Epstein case is being covered up by the federal government and will never progressbecause it would destroy their entire operational system.

“Epstein had cameras in all of his homes. Epstein was definitely a blackmail artist,” Bryant notes.

“The government wants to make sure that that does not come out.A huge part of our political system is predicated on blackmail,”he adds.

“If that dark, malignant corner of the intelligence that is using blackmail against our politicians and other people, if they were using children, that would make the American people erupt,” Bryant further urges.

He continues,“For that dark corner of intelligence, this is Omaha Beach. They’re not going to give an inch.”

“If you look at all the victims and all the perpetrators and all the procurers involved in the Epstein network … no one’s been indicted except for Ghislaine Maxwell,” the journalist explains.

“That really shows that our government, unfortunately, wants to stop it there,” he adds.

“Why is our government aiding, abetting child trafficking unless they’re protecting some very powerful people and a political process?” Bryant posits.“That’s the only way that it makes sense,” he concludes.

As we highlighted yesterday, President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi responded very tersely to a reporter’s question about the Epstein case Tuesday, with Trump clearly disgusted that it was still being brought up.

Trump vowed to provide transparency on the case,yet his DOJ is putting up a brick wall, prompting many of his supporters to call it out as unacceptable.

Many have found themselves reluctantly having to agree with the likes of Trump hater Cenk Uygur and CNN propagandist Jake Tapper.

Journalist Nick Bryant explains why the federal government actively covers up the Jeffrey Epstein case:

• "Epstein had cameras in all of his homes. Epstein was definitely a blackmail artist."

• "The government wants to make sure that that does not come out. A huge part of our political system is predicated on blackmail." "

• If that dark, malignant corner of the intelligence that is using blackmail against our politicians and other people, if they were using children, that would make the American people erupt."

• "For that dark corner of intelligence, this is Omaha Beach. They're not going to give an inch."

• "If you look at all the victims and all the perpetrators and all the procurers involved in the Epstein network … no one's been indicted except for Ghislaine Maxwell."

• "That really shows that our government, unfortunately, wants to stop it there."

• "Why is our government aiding, abetting child trafficking unless they're protecting some very powerful people and a political process?"

'We're Impressed': Zelensky Now Sings Trump's Praises & CIA Director Breathes Sigh Of Relief

by Tyler Durden Wednesday, Jul 09, 2025 - 01:05 PM

"They have to be able to defend themselves," Trump said Monday, offering confirmation of his weapons to Ukraine policy U-turn. "They're getting hit very hard. … We're gonna have to send more weapons."

A presidential aide to Volodymyr Zelensky has offered new insight into how Trump's reversal came about, especially related to his phone call with the Ukrainian president held last Friday, after a prior 'disappointing' Putin call.

Yermak described that Trump's decision to reverse course on the pause in weaponry was "very well received in Ukraine, especially after very substantial phone conversation" on Friday. He added in a NY Post interview that the US President clearly remains "fully supportive of continuation of the aid to Ukraine."

"He was quite disturbed by recent strikes — they've been happening for more than three years — but by recent strikes, murders with drones and missiles that fall in Ukrainian cities, including the capital of Ukraine," Yermak told the Post. "Absolutely, [Trump and Zelenskyy] are united in this. These two leaders definitely want peace, and they are absolutely against the killing."

The latest Russian assault, being widely reported Wednesday morning, involved a staggering more than 700 drones, as well as at least a dozen cruise and ballistic missiles. Moscow indicated it is seeking to destroy military airfields and logistics hubs tied to foreign defense aid.

"We're here to make things happen. Good deals — that's what matters," he said. "But let's be honest: when Russia launches over a hundred Shahed drones almost every night, along with ballistic and cruise missiles, any delay in deliveries becomes a real concern."

And then he hailed Trump, after his term in office started on a very rocky note with Zelensky."We've seen President Trump's recent messaging on Ukraine — and frankly, we're impressed,"Yermak said. "No exaggeration. The clarity, the leadership, the determination — we truly appreciate it." (Worst Propagandist of Kiev, they lie all the time.)

Yermak also made clear to the Post that Kiev is "not here to complain" about the brief weapons pause, which American media reports made clear was over concerns that the Pentagon's stockpiles are dwindling.The White House itself has strongly suggested as much. The Guardian reported:

The United States only has about 25% of the Patriot missile interceptors it needs for all of the Pentagon’s military plans after burning through stockpiles in the Middle East in recent months, an alarming depletion that led to the Trump administration freezing the latest transfer of munitions to Ukraine.

The stockpile of the Patriot missiles has fallen so low that it raised concern inside the Pentagon that it could jeopardize potential US military operations, and deputy defense secretary, Stephen Feinberg, authorized the transfer to be halted while they reviewed where weapons were being sent.

Then came Trump's reversal… apparently bringing sighs of relief at the CIA… (Watch Hegseth, he’s not happy about this at all.)

This begs the question, how will the shortfall gap be filled? Additionally, if the United States ever had to fight a real war - as opposed to adventurism in third world countries - what then?

(I hope this is not true, is Ratcliffe a representative of Ukraine and the CIA and not America? If Trump sends arms, this will lock the US into this unending war, exactly what Trump doesn’t want, but will get.Then he’ll be to blame to owning it.What is the CIA lying to Trump about? It’s obvious Ratcliffe is control by the CIA, rather than vice versa. The good news it's not done yet.)

I bet Rubio is not impressed, it was supposed to peace between them, now if Kiev gets arms, the EU and them have vowed to fight the war with the Kremlin until 2034

Anons, you've got to watch Rattcliffe video and his deep and long sigh of relief, it actually looks creepy.

Trump Weighs Federal Control Of D.C., Citing Urgent Need To Restore Law & Order

by Tyler Durden Wednesday, Jul 09, 2025 - 12:25 PM

Under the leadership of failed progressives, parts of Washington, D.C., have transformed into crime-infested hellholes, hardly the image the United States wants to project to the world from its capital. The Trump administration sees an urgent need to restore law and order and is now weighing a direct federal intervention.

"We could run D.C.—I mean, we're looking at D.C.," President Trump told members of his administration during a cabinet meeting Tuesday. "We're thinking about doing it, to be honest with you. We want a capital that's run flawlessly."

Trump told reporters that his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, is in communication with Washington, D.C.'s mayor, Muriel Bowser. No specifics were provided by the president on what he meant by his administration potentially running the city.

"We've had a good relationship with the mayor, and we're testing it to see if it works," Trump said.

Bloomberg noted, "Legislation passed in 1973 granted residents of DC the right to elect their own local government, though Congress is still able to review local laws and the city's budget." (Her father was a Black Panther, she could be pretending to work with PDJT)

Mayor Bowser, a Democrat, showed public support for the Black Lives Matter movement by commissioning the "Black Lives Matter" mural near the White House in 2020. The mural has since been removed.

However, she did not move to defund the Metropolitan Police Department. Meanwhile, BLMers have openly championed defunding the police and dismantling the nuclear family—two pillars of societal stability.

The broader Marxist-driven BLM agenda has since fizzled out, with NGO funding now redirected to anti-ICE riots and rogue pro-Palestinian groups—some of which are currently under federal investigation.

The Trump administration is beginning to redirect its focus toward rogue sanctuary cities controlled by far-left progressives—cities like Los Angeles—that continue to defy federal immigration enforcement.

During the cabinet meeting, Trump warned New Yorkers not to vote for "communist" Zohran Mamdani in the upcoming November mayoral election.

"If a communist gets elected to run New York, it can never be the same, but we have tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to," he said, before pivoting to discussing Washington.

He later added,"New York City will run properly. We're going to bring New York back."

The problem with sanctuary cities nationwide is that they've been hijacked by far-left progressives who allowed for the illegal alien invasion under the Biden-Harris regime. Policies put in place by these cities have backfired, sparking violent crime, homelessness, open-air drug markets, etc… turning once-thriving urban centers into crime-ridden, dysfunctional areas.

The effort to reclaim and restore these cities from the grip of woke progressive mismanagement is only just beginning.
