A decision isn't expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.

Talk inside the White House about invoking the act has ebbed and flowed since Trump took office again in January, said the five people, who include the senior administration official, two people familiar with the discussions and two people close to the White House.

But the debate inside the administration has shifted recently, from whether it makes sense to invoke the act to more deeply exploring how and when it might be invoked, both people close to the White House said.

    Incorrect.

    The Epstein stuff is tied to all of this, because it shows the extent of corruption and illegal activities trump is involved in. That’s why they’re blocking it. Releasing the Epstein files probably shows he’d be required to be removed from office. Which means all the decisions he’s making and has made are illegitimate. He can only claim presidential immunity to things while performing the duties of the president, while being the president. The Epstein files show his illegal activities waaaay before he was president. Tax fraud. Money laundering. Shit with Russia oligarchs. Diddling kids…

    If this is true and is released, and then the Congress and judges do nothing, then we’re no longer in fascism-lite. It would be full blown fascism, coup, etc.

    This is very important. Everything he’s doing is to prevent this. Release the fucking Epstein files.
