Yes, yes it is.

Context: fucking chomo urging Republicans to vote to release the files.

(18,427 posts)Dems are going to have to win the House and subpoena the DOJ/FBI people who destroyed the evidence (or witnessed others doing so) to even start to get to the bottom of anything. And even then, maybe more by inference of who doesn't cooperate and in what manner.

(9,306 posts)I think he realizes he can't stop the GOP Congress critters from voting for it. If he continues to resist and they do it any way, then Trump will look weakened. By pivoting, he is hoping to salvage his image of being in control.

The Andrew formerly known as Prince was taken down by Giuffre's posthumously published book.
More dirt came from Epstein family emails.
Witnesses are coming forward now that the dam has broken, and investigations into the money flow (enormous) and money laundering on a global scale are beginning. Harder to hide. Even bitcoin is easy to track.
I believe that Senator Ron Wyden has been beating this drum.
Apres Andrew, le deluge. DOJ (Defenders of Jeffries) not needed.
It only takes "so much" to break a gigantic secretive operation.

There should be sufficient independent evidence uncovered to trash the major players.

Hakeem Jeffries Says Trump Is Running Pedophile Protection Program
https://newrepublic.com/post/202623/hakeem-jeffries-trump-johnson-republicans-pedophile-protection-program
Thats what theyve been doing. And thats the reason why they refuse to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, for weeks now, Jeffries added, referring to the congresswoman who won a special election on September 23 to replace her late father, Representative Raúl Grijalva. She was elected in late September decisively.
Jeffries said that Grijalva hasnt been sworn in by House Speaker Johnson because she would be the deciding vote on legislation requiring the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.
Week after week after week have gone by, and Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva is unable to serve 800,000 people in the state of Arizona all because of the pedophile protection program being run by Mike Johnson and House Republicans at the direction of their boss, Donald J. Trump, Jeffries added.
Add Senator Chris Murphy.

What we've already seen is immensely incriminating; clearly, Donald Trump was at the center of a child sex ring, Murphy said, speaking over the weekend with The Bulwark Managing Editor Sam Stein during a panel. That is heartbreaking that the president of the United States was involved in that kind of gross, craven immorality.
*****
He is in daily panic mode as we get closer to the moment where these files and the fullest truth that we have available to us is going to be made public, and it is clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history, Murphy said.
...It stands to reason that he wouldn't be fighting so hard to spin against this story, or bullying Republicans in the House to prevent the release of these files if there wasn't something especially and specifically incriminating in that information.
And a long discussion on Trumps possible fit in the global scheme.

Just hear me out, what if he's not just in the Epstein files
But actually a part of the trafficking ring. He ran the Rump Modeling Agency and owned the Miss Teen America Pagent.
