They were complicit with Putin & Russian oligarchs to. Epstein was used by our own CIA, the Russian FSB, & Israeli military intelligence to pressure people in high places to do what they wanted, using the dirt they had on those men as blackmail.
Haven’t we gone through this once before with Nixon? Obstruction of justice, cover-up, and an intentional dragging of feet in producing the required files. Next thing we know he’ll be standing at the podium and quoting, “ I am not a crook”, both arms raised in the victory symbol. Yeah, right.
I agree while hearted on your point that we must receive the information we deserve to analyze what took place all these years and who joined with Epstein and many others to operate a child pornography and sexual conduct with minors. We must push for the truth, for the truth sets you free!!!
The seemingly eternal problem is MONEY and POSITION OF POWER. I can personally tell you that law enforcement, professional organizations (the American Medical Association, for example), and even some attorneys will and DO tell a woman (girl) " this person has a prominent position in the community AND a whole lot more money than you do. I'd just FORGET ABOUT IT if I were you." This kind of bullshit makes me furious. Those professionals are almost as guilty as the rapist.
I’m glad to know of this group. However, i know nothing about anyone except Bill Kristol, who helped shape the GOP up until Trump took over. Recent, I’ve heard amazingly woke commentaries from George Will, who also was quite conservative. They seem to be taking their position from the actual Constitution. But before that, when Mitchell was trashing long standing norms to block Obama’s Supreme Court nomination, undermining fair play, I don’t recall their moral objections. That’s just one example.
Any Congressmen who know the names of the known co-conspirators should simply release them. Enough games. Time for a reckoning, sparing none of the pedophiles the Republicans are protecting.
Right. I don't get it! Why the game? Stand up in Congress and start reading off names. If they stop you--park yourself on the Capitol steps and start reading off names! Cut the crap.
Rep Massie has been in the forefront of trying to get to the truth about the Epstein class of men in these files. He has said he might use “the nuclear option” meaning naming all those men in the files.
I called his office today and thanked him for his persistence and that now is the time for the “nuclear option”.
It’s the right thing to do. He would go down in history as a hero.
The information coming to light is massively disturbing. No wonder the insistence on this information for so long and no wonder millions of pages- an unheard of size of a criminal file. This scandal of high crimes among the wealthy elite is beyond imagination in scope and devastation and nearly beyond belief in its perversion and ability to conjure such sheer disgust and offense.
As a former prosecutor, I am blown away by the massive investigation and the puny prosecution. Hundreds of lawyers were pulled away from their jobs in other agencies to review this information for release. Where were the lawyer resources for the prosecution of serious sickos who broke peoples’ psyches and ruined innocent lives, many beyond restoration as suicide shows? I never would have thought, with all things Trump from lawlessness and cruelty to extreme personal gain, that this sex crime ring, with murder of babies, would be the largest turning of my stomach this year. I’m horrified for the victims and hope the criminal participants are revisited with life sentences in prison. We need a special unit to ensure prosecution. Seems time for states to step in to prosecute others and protect our belief in justice.
I was also going to suggest that states take over investigations and charging - more transparency and out of the reach of Trump pardons. And I think I’ve also read no statute of limitations?
I really do believe that they released unredacted victim names and photos (especially the photos of naked minor children) to send a message to the survivors. "Shut up or we'll keep exposing you and the other survivors." The US is a lot of things, but i never thought I'd see widespread acceptance of pedophilia, especially when the president is involved.
And then today....the female counterpart to epstein has said she will provide a deposition CLEARING trump IF she receives clemency! Can you believe this bitch? We can demand transparency til we are blue in the face but if this happens, the movement is doomed!
I'm betting she has the whole lot of those files stashed away with orders to release if she should be "suicided". She doesn't need money with leverage like that.
Exactly 👍 Maxwell has a “kill switch.” Likely her husband or an attorney has control of them, to be released if anything “happens” to her. I guarantee you that Epstein had something like that too. That’s why I’m starting to believe that he isn’t dead at all, that our own CIA faked the whole thing & whisked him out of the country. The digital records have been released, & they show the gap in the video of Epstein’s cell wasn’t an accident or a glitch. Someone with override access manually shut the cameras down for almost 19 mins. During that time a back elevator moved. Then the camera recording was restarted. That same night an incognito “medical” patient was placed on a private jet leaving Teterboro airport headed to Israel. The Substack that I read all this on, I shared on my page. It’s really fascinating.
No wait, she’ll give testimony clearing Prez Redacted of what? The money laundering? subpoena the frickin banks. Diddling teenagers? Ask the victims. Oh right. One has already testified in court that he raped and assaulted her.
They (trump & co) think we are morons - MAGA folks actually ARE morons. It is the fact that she is willing to lie to the public so he will let her out of jail!
It is actually a "quid pro quo" - I will help you if you help me. Us real people will not believe her but the orange a-hole will say "SEE, I told you!" & DOJ will stop cooperating. That's my fear!
I'm pretty tired of nothing but strongly worded soundbites from all of the compromised/bribed/coerced/intimidated Dems. They should be howling with outrage instead of shrugging and acting like there's nothing they can do except express performative outrage. They have failed us, failed us and failed us again, over and over, for the last year and I'm sick of it.
The "both sides" argument that used to infuriate me now seems totally apropos. They won't even go on record with impeachment. Even if it's doomed to fail, it's a concerted demonstration of resistance that we need to be able to take inspiration from. As all of us here well know: silence = complicity. Dems are speaking volumes because they will barely lift a finger. Our entire government has been captured.
I am under the impression the UK has been able to take investigative actions based on just what has been released. Of course. ATM our justice department is useless for this kind of activity. Sycophants of Trump.
The wealthy and powerful have no country. Only self interest. Leverage is only capitalized on by maintaining the secrecy, not exposing the criminal syndicate or really very many of its players. Those with copies of the files, Israel and Russia chief among them, all know this. They'll never willingly expose anyone who doesn't have significant means for protection against legal claims or anyone who might topple any of their carefully aligned dominoes.
The real criminals behind this extensive, rotten web of worldwide corruption will continue to act with impunity. As we see in America, Russia and Israel, no one has been able to hold Trump, Putin or Netanyahu to account for their myriad crimes.
This regime controls the files and uses them as a compliance mechanism.
Every wealthy benefactor, political figure, and business leader whose name appears in those documents understands the calculus: provide funding and support, or face selective prosecution.
The files aren’t evidence for justice. They’re inventory for leverage.
The pattern is consistent with how authoritarian capture works. You don’t prosecute everyone, that destroys the leverage. You prosecute selectively to demonstrate capacity while protecting those who comply.
Investigations get announced loudly, then closed quietly. “Just partying with Epstein” becomes the official explanation for those who stay loyal.
Meanwhile, anyone who withholds funds, speaks out, or turns on the regime knows the regulatory apparatus can be weaponized against them at any moment.
The financial crimes layer adds another dimension. Between the files and business dealings that cross legal lines, the regime has created a comprehensive leverage structure.
Wealthy benefactors aren’t supporting this administration because they believe in the ideology. They’re supporting it because the alternative is having the full power of the federal government deployed to destroy them. That’s not political alignment.
A network of world leaders and billionaires, rotten through and through. And what did almost all of them have in common? Support of Israel.
They were complicit with Putin & Russian oligarchs to. Epstein was used by our own CIA, the Russian FSB, & Israeli military intelligence to pressure people in high places to do what they wanted, using the dirt they had on those men as blackmail.
Haven’t we gone through this once before with Nixon? Obstruction of justice, cover-up, and an intentional dragging of feet in producing the required files. Next thing we know he’ll be standing at the podium and quoting, “ I am not a crook”, both arms raised in the victory symbol. Yeah, right.

All so true. Democratics aren’t protecting the victims either. Nobody without existing power, money, fame gets represented.
The seemingly eternal problem is MONEY and POSITION OF POWER. I can personally tell you that law enforcement, professional organizations (the American Medical Association, for example), and even some attorneys will and DO tell a woman (girl) " this person has a prominent position in the community AND a whole lot more money than you do.

So, call him and say the same.

I SIMPLY DO NOT TRUST THE DOJ ANYMORE.
TRUMP HOLLOWED IT OUT, FIRING CAREER PROSECUTORS LEFT AND RIGHT AND REPLACING THEM WITH HIS SYCOPHANTS.
SHAME!!
And then today....the female counterpart to epstein has said she will provide a deposition CLEARING trump IF she receives clemency! Can you believe this bitch? We can demand transparency til we are blue in the face but if this happens, the movement is doomed!
Maxwell has no access to money so the only way she could get out of jail is by selling information, but we already have all that paperwork and photos.
I'm betting she has the whole lot of those files stashed away with orders to release if she should be "suicided". She doesn't need money with leverage like that.

How gullible do they think we are?
They (trump & co) think we are morons - MAGA folks actually ARE morons. It is the fact that she is willing to lie to the public so he will let her out of jail!
Why would anyone believe the words of a convicted sex trafficker 🤦♀️ i guess the ones that would believe it are the same ones in the maga cult
It is actually a "quid pro quo" - I will help you if you help me. Us real people will not believe her but the orange a-hole will say "SEE, I told you!" & DOJ will stop cooperating. That's my fear!
Oh I agree. My question was more rhetorical. I'm just so sickened right now
I'm pretty tired of nothing but strongly worded soundbites from all of the compromised/bribed/coerced/intimidated Dems.

The DOJ is not the only ones with files, right? I read that France has them.
I am under the impression the UK has been able to take investigative actions based on just what has been released. Of course. ATM our justice department is useless for this kind of activity. Sycophants of Trump.
Yes,and I think Trump and friends will regret alienating our erstwhile alliies. They have no reason to shield him or us.
Apparently Andrew is in even more trouble back home now.

Where there's brass (money) there's muck(dirt). Scream worthy.
So make them.

That’s extortion at scale.
