I am shocked that some of my former Republican colleagues on the Oversight Committee are supporting pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Epstein survivors are adamantly against her receiving a pardon as she was one of their main abusers next to Jeffrey Epstein and they say she is a serial liar.
If Trump gives her a pardon, it sets up a very potential quid pro quo. She will owe Trump and she will lie to protect people he ask her to.
Instead the DOJ and local prosecutors with jurisdiction should be prosecuting the rich powerful elites who raped and trafficked these brave survivors when they were just teenagers and young vulnerable women.
Why is this so complicated???
Lindsey Graham in 2018:
"You could be the pope and criticize Trump. It doesn't matter. He'll go after the pope. You could be Putin and say nice things, and he'll like you. It's not the content of your character, it's whether or not you show him respect and like him."
Rep. Thomas Massie says we won’t have justice in America until Jeffrey Epstein’s clients get perp-walked in hand cuffs to the jail.
"At some point, somebody got to Pam Bondi and said, it's your job to cover this up."
What a beautiful thing. TMZ is how these people deserve to get covered. Not with the weepy piety of hill reporters who all have politicians in their profile pictures but sicko, unhinged papparazzi who believe in nothing.
Dan, in your first call, which I think is the first and last occasion you and I ever spoke:
(1) you seemed upset that I had received and had released FBI whistleblower information about the pipe bomb investigation.
(2) I informed you that your staff had threatened to criminally investigate my staff as retribution against me (for pipe bomb or Epstein activity?)
(3) you threatened to personally finance a defamation suit against reporters on behalf of a suspect. Perhaps it was also a veiled threat to sue me. You said “those depositions aren’t going to fun for the people involved” or something like that. In any case, Deputy FBI Director shouldn’t be financing civil lawsuits against reporters covering cases the FBI is working on.
(4) you said you were going to call every agent in and get to the bottom of the whistleblower issue.
(5) you offered me a briefing but I was going to be tied up until at least 6pm on the Epstein files transparency act, so I asked how late i could get the briefing and you said you were going to leave the office at 5pm.
(6) I asked you a few questions on the call and your answers indicated to me that you were perhaps less informed than me on some of the issues, or you were going to be less than forthcoming.
A few hours after the call, I received and released new FBI whistleblower information regarding the all-hands meeting (which matched what you told me in #4 above), related to concern that the meeting was called to “out” the whistelblowers.
Your second (attempted) call was the evening I achieved 218 signatures on the Epstein discharge petition and I had been busy thwarting Mike Johnson’s last ditch effort to derail the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Not sure why your call log shows 1:36am. You called me in the evening, maybe 8ish?
note - my staff also had the unfortunate pleasure of receiving numerous late night calls on Signal from FBI staff telling them there was absolutely nothing in the Epstein case and that I should back off.
Every major finding of the Mueller Report about Russia's effort to help Trump win in 2016 was echoed by the Senate Intelligence Committee Report released by Marco Rubio.
Because your coalition elected someone who obviously lacked competence, character, and judgment from the beginning, as millions of people saw clearly and loudly warned you about.
When Trump, Noem and Stephen Miller were justifying the shooting of Alex Pretti, for legally carrying a concealed gun, none of these chickenshits were anywhere to be found.
They don’t actually care about gun rights.
Did you know it's illegal for American companies to provide high definition satellite imagery of Israel? That's thanks to the bipartisan Kyl-Bingaman Amendment. The only one of its kind.
Neither the American people nor their representatives in Congress got a say in whether the U.S. should fight this war but apparently the Israeli Prime Minister gets a say when it ends. Is that right?
I cosponsored this resolution and will vote with Rep Nancy Mace today. If your tax dollars were used to settle sexual harassment claims against members of Congress, you should know about it.
