Why is Trump covering up the Epstein files while protecting pedophiles?

A few significant things Congress can do.

Independent counsel via statue. Can pass a law to establish a special independent counsel.

Stronger mandatory disclosure statutes.

Removal / Impeachment of DoJ officials. Even POTUS.

Can refer evidence to state AGs and Virgin Islands AG for state prosecutions.

 

Don't forget that Congress is the strongest of the 3 branches. It was designed that way.

 

How are they passing a law when they will very likely not have a majority in the Senate?

impeachment is going nowhere

Can you elaborate on how stronger mandatory disclosure statutes will come about and how that will help bring justice to the victims?

without full cooperation from the DOJ/FBI, this isn’t really going anywhere

 

As a reminder, there is no evidence of any member of the Trump Administration having engaged in wrongdoing in the Epstein scandal.

As a reminder, Biden/Clinton/Obama did not lift a finger to stop Epstein (Clinton obviously was a frequent abuser of young (and old) girls), and Trump blew the whistle on Epstein's behavior, had his DOJ arrest him, and then released the files. The files further revealed that Epstein was a centerpiece of the Democrat-aligned Deep State's activities to "get Trump" and it has been proven that Epstein absolutely hated Trump.


Despite all of these facts, low IQ Democrats continue to believe the exact opposite of the facts posted above. Even the NYT(!) is saying this is a Democrat scandal (Epstein was a Democrat as we all know) and now Democrats regret that the files were released.... probably because it was the Democrats who were busted.

Facts matter amigos.


GOOD DAY

 

Who's name is in the Epstein files "Thousands of times"? Nuff said... Get your tongue out of Trump's anus.

 

That's not evidence of wrongdoing. Epstein was plotting to take down Trump for most of Trump's 1st term... up until Epstein's incarceration... of course his name was mentioned. As a Democrat and Deep State central figure, of course Epstein hated Trump. Trump is the reason Epstein isn't out there abusing girls with Democrats today!


GOOD DAY

 

Is sworn testimony to Trump's rape of minors evidence?

 

Proven to be non-credible. Case withdrawn -- lady was nuts.

You probably knew that -- right? Such a weak, dishonest attempt at debate!


GOOD DAY

 

Ah yeah.

 

Lol.

 

Majority is needed. Super majority (61) in some cases. 2027 is the earliest point, not 2028. Unlikely, but not 0%.

 

The tragic story of the legislative branch surrendering its powers over time and turning into a "rubber-stamp'" branch for the executive today.

 

I was being a little flip. But applying the Kantian principle that if it is of new use in practice then it isn't really true in theory, when we see that Congress isn't the strongest of the 3 branches in reality, then there is something about its construction that isn't as strong as we make out "in theory." It is built with feet of clay. And I think it is this -- the presidency is a winner-take-all gambit. When a party controls the presidency, they control that whole branch in its entirety. But Congress is proportional and the winning party enjoys only a slim majority. So they have great power to legislate, but very little collective will to animate themselves in any particular direction. For parties vying for power and seeking to accomplish goals, every incentive is to neuter the Congress and empower the president. Watch them as Trump tramples all over their taxing authority -- Mike Johnson would rather not defend the powers of his own Congress because it is much, much easier to do nothing about an overreaching president than it is to pass a tariff on congressional authority. This was the appeal of fascism in Italy in the 30s and the appeal of Trumpism today -- let one guy have unilateral authority and you can actually move in some direction instead of being mired forever in consensus building.

 

The Congressional system of the 1780s wasn't designed with the 2020s in mind. The Founders didn't know there would be 50 states commanding two senators each nor did they want party politics to dominate each chamber.

 

It's quite telling that when the US went into other countries after World War II to help write constitutions and set up government institutions, they deliberately chose not to impose the American model of government. The US basically wrote the Japanese constitution after World War II (and had pretty significant influence over the West German one) and both ended up with multi-party parliamentary systems.

 

Well, I think they were trying to build something to last, but no of course they didn't know what the future would bring. We're living in a live beta test, basically, since we didn't know what in the Constitution would work and what wouldn't.

 

the Dems chances of having a Senate majority after the midterms are very slim…anything is possible, so it’s not 0%, but still

and even if they do gain a tiny majority, anything passed would require Trump to sign it into law…it’s not happening

there will also be no chance of full DOJ cooperation until at least 2028 as well, and we all know impeachment isn’t happening
