Privately, [Bongino] seethed. In conversations with confidants, he lamented what the job had cost him: millions of dollars in podcast revenue, family time, his audience. He was getting torn apart over a strategy he had opposed from the start.
Poor baby. Is protecting the most powerful pedophile in the world not as profitable as you’d hoped? What a chode.
Lmao, I guess we know who the source is, “The handsome lawyer slowly walked into the room”:
As the president’s former defense attorney, Blanche had a unique vantage point in the discussion. He was better equipped than anyone else in the room to weigh the ideas being discussed against Trump’s personal and political interests. Blanche laid out what he saw as their best options.
Edit: This is what they’re talking about:

‘Nipple document’ is a misnomer. There are no nipples in this. The pedo added his clan-rally signature as pubes. This is a ‘pubes document’.
Also fuck them for making me think ‘trump’ and ‘nipples’ at the same time.
Yeah, that document is discussed pretty far into the article. CW: sexual abuse.
In the emails, Ransome claimed that she knew a girl in Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring named Jen, who said she had sex with Trump. Ransome also claimed that Jen had told her that Trump had a predilection for nipples and that he had aggressively flicked and sucked hers. Ransome wrote that she had seen evidence when she shared a bathroom with Jen. “They looked incredibly painful as they were red and swollen and I remember wincing when I looked at them,” she wrote.
Ransome’s credibility was not uncomplicated; she had made another claim that she possessed video footage of prominent men having sex with young girls in Epstein’s entourage. She later retracted the claims, saying she feared for herself and her family if she proceeded. But after a federal judge ordered the unsealing of some of the Giuffre case files in 2023, the document that connected Trump to the claim about abused nipples was among the material that came out. It was an unconfirmed allegation and had not been made publicly, but the disclosure led to some articles that were quickly lost in the swirl of election-year news.
And let’s be clear about all of these reports:
Trump is notoriously litigious. He sues everyone for perceived public slights against him.
But he’s never tried to sue these women. Why? Because discovery is a thing, and he knows the evidence against him is ironclad and on video. Because Epstein kept the receipts. That’s why a failing loser who was barely literate was able to be a ‘financier’. He was no ‘financier’. He was good at getting secret videos of people in power. He was a blackmailer, and whomever has those videos after his ‘suicide’ (when trump was in charge of the DOJ) may be concerned there are copies.
They needed to release all of the documents. It’s not possible to go further than “all”.
These garbage Vance-exit-strategy/runway-for-2028 articles are so obvious and tactless
The vice president said he thought the president would be OK with releasing the nipple-related documents, arguing that Trump had been accused of worse. “I think we should put it out,” he said. “It would cause people to say we’re going further than we need to.” Wiles quickly responded that the president would not, in fact, be OK with it. It was a point no one wanted to continue debating.
One official would later describe it as a “surreal” experience to be discussing nipples in the White House Situation Room.
This was, in miniature, the entire problem the White House had with the Epstein files: Piles of accusations were impossible to disprove and equally impossible to make go away. Every door they opened led to another room, and in every room were more claims from more women.
