House Judiciary Committee Democrats on Monday released an unsigned staff report laying out what they call “the case against Donald Trump emerging in the Epstein Files and DOJ’s desperate efforts to cover it up,” with those Democrats now calling for an independent special counsel to investigate the president as well as what they describe as Attorney General Todd Blanche’s conflicts of interest and the Justice Department’s reluctance to share relevant evidence with state and foreign law enforcement.
“The women who survived Epstein deserve to be heard,” the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said in a statement. “Congress must have the complete files required by law, and an independent special counsel must investigate Epstein’s co-conspirators and DOJ’s cover-up and ensure that state and foreign prosecutors have the evidence they need to pursue justice.”
The more than 50-page report alleges that Trump was “an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s.” Although it also contains at least one entirely new allegation against the president, it provides no direct evidence other than the woman’s own conversations with Judiciary Committee staff.
He raped children, but the cult doesn’t care. They like rapding children as evidenced by how many Republicans and church people keep getting caught raping children.
*Edit: fixed a typo.
He raped children, but the cult doesn’t care. Thry like rapding children as evidenced by how many Republicans and church people keep getting caught raping children.
Fun fact: Epstein was friends with many, many Democrats, it’s not a “Republican only” problem. Where’s that caring?
The Democrats can always release the Epstein files, nobody is stopping them but them. Why are they colluding with Republicans to keep this sealed? When will they do the right thing? Will they ever?
muh both sides
Indeed, Epstein had friends with BoTh SiDeS, you finally get it! Good job
Did you know that Bill Clinton was a Democrat?
Alan Dershowitz?
Bill Gates?
His coworkers at Harvard, which is 99% Democrat?
Bye
Prosecute the Dems as well and repugs. Start with the number of times they’re mentioned in the files.
Agreed, they should all be prosecuted.
This is over ten years now. Only the most misinformed would claim that this is a Republican-only cover up. Is this a Lemmy thing?
If you get your news from Lemmy alone, good Lord you have no idea what is going on.
DoJ controls the release. Republicans control DoJ. ml is that way - - >
Republicans controlled the DoJ for four years when Biden was President?
Kinda weird, are you sure about that?

I wasn’t talking just about Epstein. There are many many examples of Republicans raping children. In fact, Republican states keep trying to lower the age of marriage to get around child rape laws, with Texas allowing marriage as young as 14.
Note, California doesn’t have an age of marriage, but California relies on the common law’s rules related to minors and contracts.
the Trumpstein Pedo-Files!
Never understood why they’re not just calling them the trumpstein files all the time
that bright blue on their website burns my eyes
I personally believe that the reason that Trump is so adamant and afraid of the Epstein files is that at some point he did some slightly gay shit with Epstein.
I think there’s pictures of him sticking his penis in a 10-year-old.
*Edit: probably more than speculation as per this Lemmy post.
The Sasha Riley accusations are certainly interesting.
“Alleged”
Clown media
It’s “alleged” until confirmed by a tribunal. Otherwise it’s libel and you’re getting multimillion dollar lawsuits against them.
His crimes/actions are alleged. That he’s “involved in the Epstein Files” is not.
The files can’t be sued. The publisher can be.
Donald Trump was involved with Jeffry Epstein.
Watch me not get sued.
Obviously large media companies are at larger risk, however it’s literally factually true that he was involved with Epstein. And the truth is an absolute defence against libel. So why don’t the media grow some balls.
You’re a person, not a news org. And it sounds like you are asking them to override their legal departments to take on risk because you would find the immediate results pleasing, regardless of the longer term effects it would have on those companies.
Yes that’s correct. That’s why I said the media should grow some balls.
I also work directly in technical legal risk, and I know what lawyers recommend companies and why, and they are the most risk averse people on earth. Of course they will recommend the course of action the incurrs zero legal risk.
Companies chose not to listen to their lawyers based on analysis of risk literally constantly. Just like they don’t always listen to engineering, HR, or any other department.
Corporations don’t get to shirk public responsibility by hiding behind their lawyers.
Conservatives are biologically unable to experience empathy. Without empathy, it is impossible to develop deep, meaningful connections with others, including family. This is why conservative relationships always seem so shallow. This is also why conservatives so easily support rape, child abuse or child abandonment.
It is simply not possible to hold conservative values and be empathetic simultaneously. That’s why they condemn empathy by calling it “woke”, evil or sinful.
It is never safe for a member of a vulnerable group, especially a child, to be left alone with a conservative.
It is neither moral nor safe to keep a relationship with a conservative. Disown them all. Normalizing conservatives is normalizing bigots. Conservatives are not normal and should be excluded from modern daily life.
He’s attached himself to Nicki minaj and kid rock. They’re pedophile likers, they’re not being secretive about their pedophile ness. its open, and everyone in the US is okay with it, or okay enough with it, to solely bitch online about it.
I briefly dated a woman who went to a kid rock concert before he blew up with bawitdaba. She was maybe 15-16 at the time and he openly tried to lure her into his tour van. When she told him her age he tried even harderer.
“everyone in the US is okay with it”
You didn’t read the article, I guess. Like, not even the headline. This is some advanced laziness.
They write lyrics saying as much.
Well, you say it’s statutory. I, on the other hand, …
I can’t even continue that line as joke. Osmosis Jones-ass song.

Probably.
“alleged” after all this time alleged?
Cause a jury hasn’t found him guilty in an official court proceeding. The headline publication doesn’t want to be sued for liable.
libel*
has he taken anyone that has made public accusations against him to court for them yet?
That weighs against him, but not engaging in litigation doesn’t inherently mean its worth the publisher to assume the risk of expense. There’s a saying like “We, the members of the jury, find” that tRump raped those people, a news organization won’t assume the risk to expense—especially since the corporation has a fiduciary obligation to maximize the return to their owners.
I learned a long time ago that if you want the real dirt, read the real file. Thanks for the link; you saved me from having to dig for it.
Pedophile king needs to go.
Pedophile Queen, judging by his speeches lately.
I think he’s channeling Linsey Graham lately, the notorious self-loathing closet-case.
Nobody knows about this on any other site.
REallyh? > House Judiciary Democrats release 50-page report on Trump’s alleged involvement in Epstein files
Yea really. You can search “couches fucking” and get the same results. It’s yet another story that bots will post to keep you clicking for the hour. You will write “yea fuck Trump he’s such a dick” then I guess up or down vote which are about as real as the tooth fairy but give a sense of something? I guess. Then you move on to the next story.
This lemmy place is built to keep you just engaged enough. It’s not like 4chan or Facebook or even reddit where a culture is built, investigations and research are done on these things and keeps going day to day by generating new content.
Lemmy is a place to collect leftist and keep them occupied while the nazis convince your uncle that kids are shitting in cat litter and it’s immigrants fault.
Look at how they built it. It’s every corporate control reddit implemented for corporate control just ramped up to 11. Why would you all accept that? Leftist use to stand for something, it’s just a vapid and dying culture and most civil action lately has been stuff cooked up by right wing groups to jingle keys like a modern cointelpro
More like “corporate media wants to bury this story so they can keep profits high under the current regime.”
“Alleged”
Cause a jury hasn’t found him guilty in an official court proceeding. The headline publication doesn’t want to be sued for liable.
Which isn’t a bad thing. There’s a process. The problem here is not that a process failed. It’s that it wasn’t followed at all.
