For Those Who Think The Vote And Or Release Of The Epstein Files Is Pointless

PedoGate is the only controversy that has scared the shit out of Krasnov. Whatever anyone can imagine that Krasnov is afraid of, it is way worse.

I predicted there would be more than 4 House Magats vote to release the Epstein files. Tonight there is talk there may be 40 or 50 or many more vote YES. If that happens it will tear Krasnov to pieces.

If 40 or 50 House Magats vote YES, it will put tremendous pressure on Senate Magats to vote YES.

Then the Bill goes to Krasnov and he has 2 horrible choices;
1. Veto it - Glory be what a narrative that will give Democrats, what is he hiding, is he protecting pedophiles, was he involved with little girls.
2. Sign the Bill - that guarantees that PedoGate stays in the news for many, many months as Bondi tries to edit Krasnov out of the files.

PedoGate is a BFD whether the cockroaches are exposed or not. It will give a huge narrative for Democrats to regain control of Congress when they can then subpoena people like Acosta, and unredact the files.

hang around the political necks of every single Pedo Protector Republican in Congress.

Every single untoward thing you see in ANY Epstein document about ANY person should be thrown in the Pedo Protector Republicans' faces, along with a demand to explain why they wanted to hide it. Put them on the spot at every opportunity.

It looks like the House might be on board.

I have difficulty thinking all those under his thumb in the Senate would participate.

According to Grok, the first federal investigation into Epstein began in July, 2006. That would mean four administrations have had posession of the files. Cynic that I am, there is no doubt in my mind evidence has been pilfered, and I wouldnt be surprised even that “evidence” was added.

Now, just imagine what was done with the JFK assassination files over 60 year over numerous administrations!

She'll know if the file has been scrubbed. She worked closely with the file in prosecuting Epstein.

After decades of making totally unfound, steaming bullshit accusations about Democrats, the trickle of dirt on the world’s most evil people is finally growing to where it can’t be ignored and can’t be stopped, because the operation was gigantic, involving many powerful people and tons of money flow.

It’s just that the issue is so repulsive, unlike the previous claims that “everyone does it”. NOT THIS TIME.

And it’s so delicious in that it was consistently framed as a “Democratic worldwide child trafficking ring”

This is one case where the usual projection FAILS.

It was so outrageous that ANY facts entering the public arena were and are disastrous to that “coverup by accusation” which, is actually ongoing with the weaponization of the DOJ against political “enemies’.

Well, his DOWNFALL will be interesting.

It could start an internal witch hunt and Republican civil war.
