Speaking in Canton, Ohio, on Monday, Vice President JD Vance was asked about the Jeffrey Epstein files and took an opportunity to defend President Donald Trump and his handling of the ongoing saga, which has caused controversy among his base. Vance went straight to Trump's defense, saying the president has been transparent about the situation.

"First of all, the president has been very clear. We're not shielding anything," Vance said. "The president has directed the attorney general to release all credible information and, frankly, to go and find additional credible information related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. He's been incredibly transparent about that stuff, but some of that stuff takes time."

Vance went on to say that Attorney General Pam Bondi is currently working on the request she received from Trump, asking her to release all credible information related to the case.

"The attorney general is hard at work on that issue right now," Vance said of Bondi, adding that the task takes time. "You've got to assemble that stuff, you've got to compile that stuff, you've got to redact some victims names so that you protect the victims," he said.

She proclaimed, with a flourish, that she had them all on her desk, and would release them. Then when she released stuff, most was already released previously or was out there publicly available.

And this -

"You've got to assemble that stuff, you've got to compile that stuff, you've got to redact some victims names so that you protect the victims," he said.

His "boss" helped to CREATE victims.

1. Fuck you, couch fucker

The rumors are just as true as the fucking pedophile's.

[Buddyzbuddy]

2. Well there you go.

The official lover of couches has spoken. He says the Felon says he's innocent. Nothing to see here, everybody should go home and stop asking questions.

[2na fisherman]

3. Incredibly Transparent

Vance unwittingly reveals the truth when he refers to Trump being transparent in the sense of him being of or relating to something not credible, so it's more likely opaque. Kind of like alternative facts.

4. How can Vance even breathe with his face so far up Trumps ass?

[cloudbase]

5. "We're not shielding anything."

We're shielding everything.

"I'm not a crook." 🤣

[slightlv]

16. I've never seen or heard republicans be SO concerned for the "victims" before! SMDH

[Justice matters.]

25. Remember not a word of sympathy for the injured (and almost killed)

Capitol Police Officers (and these victims who committed suicide soon after), but praising Ashli Babbitt... for political gain!

[SeattleVet]

[twodogsbarking]

19. Once again..........

[70sEraVet]

20. Of course he had to lie. But the important thing is .....

He was ASKED about it!
Make EVERY MAGA Republican squirm, trying to come up with a convincing lie! Ask about the video showing the outside of Epstein's jail cell -- why were there a couple of minutes missing, and why was it stitched together? Ask if Alex Acosta was named Secretary of Labor by Trump as a reward for giving a sweetheart deal to Epstein, a deal that let Epstein continue his crimes and his co-conspirators remain unnamed and immune from prosecution?

[kairos12]

21. MAGA and Sofa Vance

sees Chump as the victim. Hence, more redactions than words in "War and Peace."

[Brainfodder]

22. Next up, the Fox reviews hen houses?

JD is fine with DJT deciding what is relevant to release to the public as far as Epstein files goes?

Expert bootlicker stuff?

and all the others, would have choked them to death by now.

[Sneederbunk]

26. Release the files dummy.

[Paladin]

27. The only upside to J.D. "protect the victims" Vance's non-stop pimping for trump:

Ultimately, Vance's political career will end up in the same dark corner as those of Rudy Giuliani and the Pillow Guy: in utter ruination.

Can't happen soon enough to satisfy me...

[underpants]

28. "to go and find additional credible information"

He means make stuff up.

[MayReasonRule]

30. His "boss" helped to CREATE victims...

His "boss" helped to CREATE RAPED victims.

[Ninga]

31. "Stuff?" I counted 7 times he said "stuff" in his

quotes. What does he mean? What stuff? Important stuff? Video stuff? Testimony stuff?
Whistleblower stuff?
Inquiring minds……

[speak easy]
