Now we understand why Trump didn’t want [the Epstein files] released.

Just a week before the midterm elections, which are already shaping up to be a bloodbath for the GOP, Democrats have dropped a bombshell. “A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s,” states a just-released report from the Democrats of the House Judiciary Committee.

Additionally, they claim that Trump has leveraged his FBI and DOJ to cover up the evidence, and have now called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate any potential wrongdoing.

    Maybe this is yet another testimony that closely resembles a prior case, but I think that this has been public knowledge for many years. I won’t read any more testimony, I’ve read enough and it makes me sick, so I could be wrong.

    We know why Trump doesn’t want the Epstein files released, we have known for at least 20 years, yeah? He’s a rapist.

    What we don’t know is why Democrats don’t want the Epstein files released. We do know many Ds were in Epstein’s circle through released flight logs and public information, a President, a senator, and high-profile (the very highest) Democratic donors. Island party guest lists? Still top secret. Complete flight logs? Top secret. Hundreds of hours of testimony from victims? Top secret.

    Why did Biden’s DoJ insist that they can’t release the files and that the investigation was still open years after Epstein’s death, with nothing to show for it? Where’s the results of that investigation? It’s certainly not this 50-page report about long-known charges.

    There are many Ds and Rs with top secret clearance, all of whom know the truth. They are all sitting on it, while victims and perps and witnesses “commit suicide”.

    Epstein, dead by “suicide”. The cameras don’t work in our high security facility! what a surprise.

    Recarey, a detective who fought for release of files. Dead at 50 after a “short illness”.

    Brunel, girl trafficker. Dead by “suicide” in cell.

    Virginia Giuffre, vocal victim. Dead by “suicide”.

    Bing, Hollywood producer “jumped off a building” after testimony to FBI.

    Bowers, Deutsch banker and Epstein money mover, dead by “suicide”.

    Siad, girl provider mentioned thousands of times in files, found dead in apartment.

    Leigh Patrick, victim. Dead by “overdose”

    … and there’s more I could add to this list, this is partial

    Remember! If you respond “bOtH sIdEs” to this post YOU WIN and all suspicion will disappear. It’s like magic!

    No, he doesn’t give a fuck if we know about his crimes, he probably just doesn’t want us to know the files say he has a small dick

      I’m thinking the play to distract will be if they find him saying a word like “pussy” in which case the Murc’s Law Media will commence to have a “national conversation” about “locker room talk”.

      Instead of talking about the criminal behavior…

      On one hand, any discussion about this is better than none.

      On the other, Slate has for a long time been extremely wordy/academic-style essays regurgitating obvious positions and news. I am usually in agreement with their positions, but it’s 300 words of argument and conclusion, packaged in 5,000 or 10,000 words of academic, disorganized writing style. Maybe they’re paid by the word.

      In 2009, in my first year of university, I was watching the news and it said that scientists just found out what killed the dinosaurs, they built it up like a shocking revelation, only to reaffirm the already prominent theory that it was an asteroid

    Had no idea until now. Personally I thought the secrets to the pyramids were in there and no one wants us knowing about that. This revelation was shocking.

    Republican lies work so well because they pander to Magats - the most uneducated, stupid, and uniformed voters, and they repeat the exact same lies again and again. Just because people here are generally informed does not mean Bubba in BumFuck, Tennessee is.

    Joseph Goebbels: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”

    The same thing goes for repeating the truth. “Trump Rapes Children!” should be shouted each and every time his name is mentioned.

      No. Not a single soul is surprised by this, including the people who voted for him anyway. They knew. Some didn’t care. Some considered it a selling point.

    Is it basically the same reason this asshole howls and whines about “the Russia hoax”? Or the same reason that he claims to have really won the 2020 election?

    Basically that he’s a lying sack of shit committing crimes?
