James Comer reacted to the latest batch of images and videos released by House Democrats by dismissing their significance and accusing his political opponents of engaging in theatrics rather than accountability. In his public remarks, Comer framed the release as a distraction, suggesting Democrats were attempting to score political points instead of focusing on what he described as “real” investigative priorities. His tone struck many observers as evasive, given the gravity and public interest surrounding the material. Critics noted that Comer appeared far more concerned about the optics for his own party than the disturbing content contained in the images themselves.
Comer’s comments drew sharp backlash because they seemed to minimize the relevance of the newly surfaced material, which includes previously unseen photos from Epstein’s properties. Rather than acknowledging the substance or addressing the public’s questions, he pivoted toward partisan grievances and accused Democrats of weaponizing the issue. This approach was widely criticized as tone-deaf and defensive, especially at a time when lawmakers from both parties are under pressure to confront the full scope of Epstein’s network. Comer’s posture reinforced the perception that he is more focused on insulating allies and controlling narrative fallout than pursuing transparency.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. So James Comer is once again accusing oversight
Democrats of cherry picking Epstein Island files, and he says
that they're chasing headlines. According to him, they should have
released the picture with the dentist chair and all the
(00:20):
weird ass masks. And his reasoning is, well, these files
and these pictures came out months ago. Well sorry, buddy,
nobody ever saw these pictures with those masks. I know
I haven't, And to say that they're creepy is a
fucking understatement, probably something people want to talk about and discuss. No,
so why is James Comer so worried about this stuff
(00:42):
being released? And if you really cared about transparency and
getting to the bottom of this, wouldn't he be happy
about it. Any kind of transparency whatsoever is a good thing.
It's not like anybody got outed here. Instead, all we
got is some context about the dentist chair and what
that room look like. And like I said in the
episode yesterday, I think that one of the main things
(01:03):
here is that people absolutely knew what was going on
in that room. They knew about the masks, they knew
about how gross it was, how disgusting it was, and
they still said nothing. They just went on their merry way,
hanging out with Epstein and enjoying his largess And then
they want to cry when people are calling for accountability,
people are asking why they didn't have anything to say
(01:25):
while they were at Epstein's house or in the decades,
since you've had all these years to get in front
of this, to talk about what you saw, to go
to the authorities or whoever and tell them what Jeffrey
Epstein was up to, and you didn't do it. So
now you want to cry that you're being exposed as
part of Jeffrey Epstein's inner circle or as somebody that
was hanging out with them. You can take that whole
(01:46):
ass tantrum and shove it because nobody wants to hear it.
So today's article is from Fox News, and the headline
Comer accuses oversight dems of cherry picking epstein Island files
chasing headlines. Well, here's an idea. Beat them to it quick,
crying about everything, and release the files yourself. The author
(02:07):
of this article is Elizabeth Elkind. House Oversight Committee Chairman.
James Comer is accusing Democrats on his panel of selectively
releasing information related to Jeffrey Epstein. It came hours after
the committee Democrats release photos and videos capturing what they
called never before seen views of Epstein's private compound in
(02:29):
the US Virgin Islands. But Comer told Fox News Digital
that many of those images published by Democrats were already
released by Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe, now the head
of O'Keefe media group. Oh well, in that case, don't
release them again. Is that what you're telling us? The
same guys who think that Grand Jerry files are going
to save the day are telling us that we shouldn't
(02:52):
get these pictures. James Comer has zero credibility as far
as I'm concerned. Member Robert Garcia and Democrats on the
Oversight Committee continue to embarrass themselves. Comer said on Wednesday, Boy,
that's rich coming from James Frick and Comer. Comer, the
gomer over here is one of the biggest morons in Congress,
(03:14):
running his fat yap about stupid nonsense he doesn't even
know about, running cover for Donald Trump and the administration,
and trying to make a fool of all of us
while he's doing so well, guess what The only fool
is James Comer himself. Throughout the course of our investigation,
Democrats have cherry pick documents and doctored some of them,
and now they're chasing headlines by slapping never before seen
(03:36):
on images and videos that were reported by O'Keefe media
group months ago. The only thing never before seen is
such a reckless ranking member. Imagine being mad because stuff
is being released. James Comer, I thought you were a
man of God. I thought that you were a man
of family and community and you cared about people. No,
(03:57):
you don't, none of that shit, just another cow. Do
you think James Comer would be talking all this nonsense
if it was his daughter, his sister. I think that
the tune would change. But of course, because it's vulnerable
girls from the other side of the tracks and it's
a democratic hoax, the narrative is something completely different. For
(04:18):
me personally, I don't understand how anyone could look at
what's going on here and not see the cover up
taking place. It is unbelievable to me because it's quite
obvious that these people are terrified of what's in those
files and they're gonna do everything they possibly can to
make sure that you don't get a full view. It
(04:38):
came after oversight Democrats publicized images from Epstein's island, Little
Saint James, including images that appear to show a room
with a dentist chair and a chalkboard that has words
like power, deception and appear written on it. Look, we
have never seen that before. Now, we saw pictures of
the dental chair, and we've heard of that before, but
we never saw those masks, and we certainly and see
(05:00):
the blackboard with all the writing on it. So James
Comer should probably take a seat. And the question you
should be asking yourself is why is James Comer mad
that this was released? Isn't that the purpose of what
you're doing to bring transparency to the Epstein matter so
that everybody understands what really went down and who was involved. Oh,
that's what you should be doing. What you're really doing
(05:22):
is running cover for Donald Trump. Got it? Oh? Keith
himself accused Committee Democrats of X of publishing the images
with redactions, while claiming he himself posted similar photos without
information blotted out. Okay, so if that's the case, why
are you mad that they're released? Again, if you don't
think that they mean anything and they're not going to,
(05:44):
you know, help the investigation along, why are you mad
that they were published? See it doesn't make sense. Everything
these dudes do is in protest of transparency, and then
they'll wrap it in something else. Oh well, we want
to protect the survivors, bitch. You haven't even spoken to
the survivors. What are you even talking about right now?
The vast majority of survivors want full transparency. I mean,
(06:08):
how hard is it to go through these documents and
just redact the names of the people who were hurt.
That's what you should be doing. Nothing else. Quit crying,
quit grandstanding, and quit the bullshit. Ranking Member Robert Garcia
of California said a press release that the first crop
came out, these new images are a disturbing look into
the world of Jeffrey Epstein and his island. We're releasing
(06:30):
these photos and videos to ensure public transparency in our
investigation and to help peace together the full picture of
Epstein's horrific crimes. It's time for President Trump to release
all the files. Now, Yeah, why are we doing this?
Drip drip drip, release them, be done with it. That
would be the most obvious strategy. If you weren't guilty,
or you weren't hiding something, you release them, get out
(06:53):
ahead of it. Hey, look, I'm all for transparency. Here
are the files. Let's go get the bad guys. And well,
that's great rhetoric. The truth is these people are showing
themselves to be the bad guys. You know, anyone who
stands in the way of transparency is enabling Jeffrey Epstein.
They're adjacent, but they're enabling them. And it doesn't matter
(07:14):
that he's dead. They're enabling the cover up to continue.
Roughly eighteen minutes after Fox News Digital reached out for
a response to Comer's statement, House Oversight Committee Democrats posted
on x that they were releasing and additional one hundred
and fifty photos and video sent to our committee from
Epstein Island. Again, why is this a problem? Can somebody
(07:35):
please explain to me why it's an issue? Oh, that's right,
because you're part of the cover of mister Comer. That's
the problem. That's why you're so upset that this stuff
is being released, which is crazy because the whole entire
idea behind this commission was to get us transparency right,
But I guess in James Comer's mind, transparency's only okay
if it's going to be something that's beneficial to him
(07:57):
and Trump. The tranch of images includes a frame photo
of Epstein and Maxwell meeting the Pope. We've seen that
plenty of times before. We also saw one of them
meeting the Dalai Lama, another image of a frame photo
to show two different people's hands latched together, while other
show works of art, including a lamp whose base resembles
(08:20):
a naked woman's torso it's like a Christmas story, right,
the leg lamp fraugilly. Jeffrey Epstein's over here with all
kinds of weird ass works of art, all kinds of
weird ass chest pieces, all kinds of weird ass pictures,
and nobody knows what's going on, folks. And then you
walk into the room with the dentist's chair and you're
just like, oh, okay, this is cool. Nothing to see here,
(08:42):
give me a break, I'm not buying it. And guess
what nobody else is either. One photo shows a Samsung
computer that appears to reflect several different security camera angles,
only three of which look functional, and which show the
outdoors yeah, because nobody might have been at the house
the time. And Fox News itself, Boy, they really love
(09:03):
to run cover for Jeffrey Epstein. And it's funny because
previously Fox News was on the other side. I can't
tell you how many times I was contacted by Fox News.
I went on Tucker Carlson back in the day, what
twenty twenty three, and talked about this story. But now
mum's the word, right. They got them marching orders from
the White House, and like the good little legacy media
(09:24):
clowns they are, they're gonna do whatever they're told. The
story was very interesting to them when it was going
the other way, but now that the head has turned
and people have questions about their side, they don't want
nothing to do with it anymore. Another image appears to
show a nightstand that holds a sleeping mask and a
box of tissues, among others. A spokesperson for the House
(09:46):
Oversight Committee majority pledged the panel or released more files soon,
while criticizing Democrats for what they called a selective release.
Just release them all. Why are you what do you
mean soon? What are you waiting for? God? The whole
thing is just disgusting and they really think we're stupid.
They think we're just gonna go along with it, shut
up and keep rolling. Never gonna happen, Never gonna happen.
(10:10):
And I set it from the jump, and I'll say
it until it ends. Until we get full transparency, nobody's
going anywhere. The House Overside Committee has received approximately five
thousand documents in response to Chairman Comer's subpoenas to JP
Morgan and Deutsche Bank, as well as the request to
the US Virgin Islands. The Majority is reviewing these materials
(10:32):
and will make them public soon, just as the Committee
has already done with more than sixty five thousand pages
produced during this investigation. The spokesperson said translation, we have
to go through this and make sure our donors aren't
being outed. And I hate to be cynical, folks, but
what else can we be at this point? Do you
really trust any of these people to guide us to
victory on either side? I don't, so it's up to
(10:56):
us to hold them accountable. Comer has already released thousands
of pages worth of documents related to the committee's Epstein investigation.
Democrats have accused him of running cover for President Trump,
who was previously friends with Epstein, but has denied and
never been implicated in any wrongdoing related to the late
pedophile Republicans, in turn, have accused Democrats as sabotaging a
(11:20):
bipartisan probe in order to create a false narrative about Trump. Well,
the real problem is Trump has opened the door, and
of course the Democrats they never miss an opportunity. If
there's a way to score some political points, they're going
to stroll through the door and try and do so.
And of course politicizing this is the wrong way to
go about it. But when you have somebody like Donald
(11:42):
Trump sitting in the White House who is directly involved
in this, at least as far as this cover up's going,
you know that there's going to be a bunch of
political flack coming your way because you're not being truthful
about the process. You're not being truthful about what's going on,
and you certainly weren't truthful while you were on the
campaign trail. So yeah, people are gonna look at Trump
(12:03):
and say what the fuck's going on here? Considering he
made all these big promises and now he's on the
other side of the issue. I mean, come on, who
could look at that and not say to themselves, well,
something is amiss, something fishy going on. So my advice is,
if you're looking for somebody to'll blame, then look no
further than Donald Trump himself. And here's some unsolicited advice
(12:23):
to James Comer. If you don't want the Democrats releasing
this stuff before you, here's an idea. Release it yourself.

Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
