The facts are difficult for the Republicans, especially when they contradict a story that the GOP tries to build to protect their president while the Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to bubble.
Trump’s greatest loyalists in Congress seem to have adopted the position according to which if the facts are not on their side, they will compost new ones.
Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) was questioned about the state of the Union of CNN, why AG Pam Bondi did not stop saying that it would release Epstein files if it was not going.

Mullin replied:
We hypothesized that the judges were going to release the order and allow the proof that they had heard. If it is – but everything has been sealed. And so if it was a sealed case, we cannot free it as long as the judges allow us to release it.
And you might think that common sense would play. This is why they asked for transparency. We want transparency. We want the judges to also have transparency. But do not forget that there was a advocacy agreement which was concluded in 2009, well before being in office, long before Trump even considered that he was in office, long before Pam Bondi was in office before Kash Patel was director.
2009, there was a advocacy in matters of darling which was done under the Obama administration with Epstein …
Jake Tapper stopped thinking about Biden’s age for a while And jumped: “No, that’s not true. It’s not …”
Mullin continued: “And this sweetheart was not exposed. This is not the case? “
Tap, “No, it was 20008”.
Mullin, “Well, when was the matter heard?”
Tap, “It was in 2008. It was – the American lawyer at the time was a guy named Alex Acosta. He was appointed by Bush. He became the work secretary of President Trump. Everything took place in 2008 ”.
Mullin, “Who was in office at the time?”
Tapper, “2008, George W. Bush was in …”
Mullin, “Who was in office at the time?”
Tap, “George W. Bush”.
Mullin decided to argue: “No, 2009, it was when the case was out, and it was – and Obama was in office at the time.”
Tap, “this is not true. This is not true.”
The fact that Senator Mullin, after being corrected, refused to accept the correction as a fact and accepted the false information reveals the entire mentality of the republican party of Trump.
Our government system was built on the hypothesis of bipartite cooperation. In order for cooperation to exist, there must be a basis of shared facts and reality for all those involved.
The Republicans create and live in their own reality, which makes governance bipartite coherent practically impossible.
Republicans like Senator Mullin prefer to protect Trump to live in a real world. It is not stupidity. It is a choice that breaks a fundamental hypothesis on which the American government is based.
