    GOP Rep. Massie tells Bondi 'You are responsible,' on Epstein files



    Bondi asked Massie why he hadn't questioned former President Joe Biden's attorney general,
    Merrick Garland, the same way.

    "You don't have to go back to Biden. Let's go back to Obama, let's go back to George Bush.
    This cover-up spans decades and you are responsible for this portion of it," Massie said.

    This clinical psychologist broke down the "suicide" and exposed it. Take a watch when you have time. The entire thing is bullshit

    Anyone still arguing for Trump is not a serious person, and is trolling.

    At this point, the entire world knows he screwed children, and should be thrown into prison for however much time he has left.

    There is ZERO doubt.

    If someone argues, put them on ignore, they don't deserve your time.

    Trumpers openly reject facts, but for those of us that do care about them:

    -Maureen Comey and SDNY led the Epstein case under Garland's DOJ under the Biden admin
    -The Maxwell investigation, indictment, and ultimately conviction went from 2020 to 2022 which she was convicted.
    -Reports coming out of SDNY from law enforcement reporters said that they knew that Maxwell was the key to being able to successfully prosecute more people
    -They found that the victims testimonies while likely accurate were likely to be difficult to try in other cases of co-conspirators
    -Comey and SDNY never closed down the case because there was a chance if Maxwell's appeal was not successful that she would start to talk
    -Comey gets PDiddy case, and a few others that likely pulls her away from focus on the Maxwell case

    MY OPINION, and the likely opinion of many like me I'm sure (feel free to disagree with me) is that SDNY/Comey, and ultimately Garland should have done more from 2022 to 2025. I do believe once Comey was given the PDiddy case, she should have handed this off to a special prosecutor of some sort who could have focused primarily on pursuing other prosecutions of named co-conspirators in the Epstein case. I also think they should have created a report to Congress that should have been made public in some way a report that named these co-conspirators.

    Yes I do think Garland ultimately needs to testify along with Lisa Monico, Comey, and those at SDNY that oversaw this prosecution and investigation. They MUST explain why from 2022 to January 2025 there were no additional indictments. I'm sure they have an answer, but the public NEEDS to hear why.

    HOWEVER... It's a complete bend of reality to say that the BIDEN ADMIN, and Democrats just covered up the Epstein investigation like the Trump regime clearly is doing in broad daylight. This issue here is SDNY ultimately not wanting to bring cases they had a low likelihood of winning, and the Garland office being too overly concerned about seeming political. Their overcaution is widely regarded AMONG DEMOCRATS as a huge failure.

    Maureen Comey did her best to cover up the Epstein files... because Epstein's friends, business partners, and relationships encompass a very large part of the Deep State. The Deep State pulls in the Intel Agencies, once of which was run by her father for a long time. How is this not obvious? And did you see the stunt Maureen Comey pulled right on the eve of the due date of the Epstein files -- claiming there were millions more uncovered? This stalled the process, and led to false allegations of slow playing the files. All a part of their manipulative, dishonest strategy to run public relations around this Democrat and Deep State scandal.

    Sorry if this information is painful to those who bow at the altar of big government and believe in the fairy tale that government is a force for good and capable of doing no wrong.



    GOOD DAY

    Just a reminder that Ghislaine Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton's wedding. As an aside, Bill Clinton officiated Anthony Weiner's wedding. Sure seems like a lot of perverts on the Democrat side of the aisle, no?

    LOL The two biggest names?

    Donald Trump? The current President of the USA

    Howard Lutnick? The current US Secretary of Commerce

    Robert F Kennedy? US Secretary of Health under Trump

    Elon Musk? DOGE

    Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump spent Christmas with Epstein after he was a known pedo.

    Steve Bannon? The Chief Strategist for the Whitehouse while friends with Epstein after a child rape conviction.

    Tom Barrack? - the Ambassador in Turkey that was appointed by Trump

    David Schoen? Personal attorney for Donald Trump

    How many people with direct connections to the current Whitehouse do you need?

    Basically, it was Trump, his wife and kids.... his top stretegist, his top supporter in the 2024 election, his attorney and several current cabinet members.

    No wonder Trump wants it to all go away.

    So far the released files are conspicuous for the absence of something. That something is any email from Trump or any email replying directly to Trump or any email copying Trump. Ask yourself how likely that is, especially considering some of the emails released are from as early as 2002 and one of those (perhaps one that slipped through) include an email from Melania to Maxwell.

    And yes, I know the MAGA boys will jump in and say, "Trump doesn't use email you stupid lib!" He has indeed denied using email many times since starting his political career, yet we have him stating in a deposition from 2013 that he does, in fact, use email. In 2006, during a casino case, the judge admonished the Trump organization for destroying 1996-2001 emails that were likely pertinent to the case--destruction of evidence. The Judge was incredulous:

    There's even a Trump email address listed in Epstein's address book.

    There is little doubt he was using email during Epstein's heyday. How come there is no trace of that in the Epstein releases?

    Also, I think the push to get child labor going again as well as the stated objective of getting young women pregnant and making lots of babies are related to the depravity of the Epstein class. Kids are just a means to our economic and political ends. If we can accomplish a desired social outcome along with that, so much the better. Once you see them as objects, as cogs, it's easy to fall in line with your peers and not think too hard about where that leads.

    LOL, look at how you try to deceive. So dishonest. You should not be trusted.

    Bannon was recruited by Epstein after Bannon was booted from the White House staff. This is when Epstein was trying to destroy Trump... and Epstein was using Bannon to try to get dirt on Trump. The timeline matters here and destroys your insinuation.

    Musk and Trump engaged in no wrongdoing with Epstein. Trump blew the whistle on him and hasn't associated with him in 22 years. Musk blocked Epstein and never went to the island.

    Let's see the info on Don Jr and Eric's Christmas trip. Google is not showing any results there at all. Did you make it up?

    Lutnick's involvement with Epstein was very little and he took his family with him on the one trip to the island.


    You tried to bend the truth and got caught. Did you think you'd get away with it?

    I love how the MAGA cultists pretend that Trump didn't pardon Bannon for stealing millions from his supporters. I also love how the MAGA forget we have in writing that multiple members from the Trump admin visited the island right before inauguration. The MAGATS also forget we have emails showing Epstein was in close contact with Republicans in the senate.

    We have emails showing Musk begging Epstein for a invite and your MAGATs claim Musk blocked Epstein as if we're as dumb as they are.

    Yall ain't fooling anyone with your low is propaganda

    The funniest notion is when MAGATs @El_Conquistador claim Trump somehow "blew the whistle" after the investigation went public for 18 months and only went to the police right before Epstein got arrested. Trump never told law enforcement for the decades he was best friends with Epstein

    Flawed ‘Epstein Files’ disclosures undermine accountability for grave crimes against women and girls: UN experts | OHCHR

    “The ‘Epstein Files’, which are suggestive of the existence of a global criminal enterprise have shocked the conscience of humanity and raised terrifying implications of the level of impunity for such crimes.”

    “So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said.

    Under international criminal law, crimes against humanity occur when acts such as sexual slavery, rape, enforced prostitution, trafficking, persecution, torture, or murder are committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population with, with knowledge of the attack. The experts warned the components reported patterns may meet this threshold and these crimes must be prosecuted in all competent national and international courts.

    “All the allegations contained in the ‘Epstein Files’ are egregious in nature and require independent, thorough, and impartial investigation, as well as inquiries to determine how such crimes could have taken place for so long,” they said.

    “Any suggestion that it is time to move on from the ‘Epstein files’ is unacceptable. It represents a failure of responsibility towards victims,” they said.

    “Resignations of implicated individuals alone are not an adequate substitute for criminal accountability,” the experts said. They welcomed steps by some governments to probe current and former officials and private individuals named in the files. They called on other states to do the same.

    “Failure by governments to effectively investigate, and prosecute those responsible for these crimes, including by complicity or acquiescence, where jurisdiction exists, risks undermining legal frameworks aimed at preventing and responding to violence against women and girls,” they warned.

    “It is imperative that governments act decisively to hold perpetrators accountable,” the experts said. “No one is too wealthy or too powerful to be above the law.”

    You do realize your propaganda graph is highly skewed and only taking into consideration education to wealth ratios and nothing more.

    But here, I'll still respond. Education is not a good tell on a person being dumb. A person can be uneducated and way smarter than an educated person.

    Our education system has truly been a disaster over the last few years, this is why it's no longer the only option to wealth or prosperity. In fact it's a pretty bad choice if paying out of pocket and having to cover student loans over long high interest periods.

    But there is a connection to educated people somehow greatly turning Democrat, they may be stupid af but will spew entitlement over their cheap useless diploma.

    And with that entitlement comes this great pride and false sense of being smart so they look down at the uneducated person as lesser,poorer and dumber but can't figure out why all their graphs, polls and rallies failed to get Kamala elected.

    The arrogance of the educated will not let them realize that their education isn't exactly what they think it is. A certification of being smart because they completed so many hours on a subject that they merely memorized and passed a test on but totally forgot the subject the next day.

    Education certifies nothing for the majority of people now n days. And the correlation of voters to education and wealth also means $hit because the same way highly educated folks can be rich they can also be dumb and vice versa....

    We have smart and dumb voters on both sides. So far thou, the dumb deplorables have been destroying the smart educated pipo....
