Rick Wilson: "What Trump's base has always feared the most...that he will be revealed to be a pedophile and a rapist."

Former Republican strategist Rick Wilson issued a blistering warning to President Donald Trump's closest allies, including "the criminals at the Department of Justice," amid mounting allegations over the president's relationship with late financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The co-founder of the anti-Trump organization The Lincoln Project called out Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and other members of Trump's inner circle for trying to avoid the inevitable in his Substack post Thursday.

"They released three million pages… but are hiding a similar amount," Wilson wrote. "They’re openly, brazenly, and corruptly flouting the law for the singular reason of protecting Donald Trump from what his base has always feared most: that Donald Trump will be revealed to be a pedophile and a rapist."

"The latter is already a matter of record. The former has lurked at the edges of their consciousness since Epstein’s crimes became more than just dark lore," Wilson added.

That associated with pedophiles and has been accused of being a pedophile and bragged openly about pedophilia behavior.

The only people that don't know. Don't want to know.

I have asked myself what’s the one thing that would drive Republicans to flip and vote Democrat, and I can’t think of one.

I can hear them.

And actually, he's REGRESSED since then, they all KNOW IT, but they're getting what they want, like social programs cut to pay for tax cuts for billionaires, so yeah. They don't care.

Have raped their own favorite 5 year old daughter in front of them and only some of them would object to that. And even of they objected, being true cult members, they would still vote for the fucking rapist.
