House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) found that the Trump administration has only released half the Epstein files documents and redacted hundreds of thousands of pages.
THEY DON"T HAVE ANY POWER. The House is straight majority rule, and, in fact, Raskin is doing something by requesting the full files from the DOJ, but the House minority has no SUBPOENA POWER, so they can't compel the DOJ to do anything.
Everyone, please stop saying stop talking and do something, because it makes you sound uninformed about how your government works.---Jason
The trouble is the Dems are not in the majority. So they can demand anything they want, but the traitorous Repubs will vote it down. Dems need to get a few Repubs to hold the DOJ in contempt for violating the law. THEN find the heads of DOJ guilty and have them arrested.
That is the issue. Democrats have gotten more done than any other House minority in recent memory, but they are still in the minority, which means they need GOP help to do anything.--Jason
Maga controls the Court, Senate, House and White House thanks to the voters of November 2024 that just couldn't vote for a Strong Smart Black Woman and a Good Guy from Minnesota thanks to billionaire bullshit media and news. Arrest the billionaires first for open bribery, corruption and sedition to our Country.
At least a very disgusting portion excaped for a little while (before it was retracted) and enough people saw/copied it. It needs to be seen EVERYWHERE.
Of course the Dems should get this information to the public. Democratic ‘leadership’ is weak, unsophisticated, not very smart and acts like they are bought and paid for.
They compromise to avoid disruption and will ultimately lead to the end of our way of life.
We are lobsters in a pot and the Dems are controlling the heat.
What can the Democrats actually do? The answer is to win the election. They didn't compromise to avoid disruption. Where did you get that idea?---Jason
Take it to the court of public opinion. Expose lies on all sides, stop protecting the powerful. Support women, immigrant Americas, the bottom of the economic ladder.
They are already doing that. Too many people still believe what they hear/read on mainstream media. The Dems successfully forced Congress to remove ICE funding from the bill the Senate passed. They're trying but they don't have a lot of clout at this point.
I don't bother with mainstream; this came from Politicus. While current funding for ICE is still in play no new funds can be appropriated for at least 2 weeks, that is if the House approves.
When the election is exactly right we must win and get to the bottom of this and charge every person who was involved in this horrible disgusting pedophil ring. Also I think it's very interesting to start learning and questioning Epstein's role in funding qanon
Your idea is impossible. They can't "take him to court," and if they did, there is no remedy for a court to remove a president. The brutal truth is NO ONE IS GOING TO DO THIS FOR YOU. THE ANSWER AND ONLY ANSWER IS FOR DEMOCRATS TO WIN THE MIDTERM ELECTION.---Jason
I hear you, Jason, but I'm afraid something, not sure exactly what, will need done VERY soon! If I'm not mistaken, Jerome Powell's term ends this may, and Dump has already tentatively named a successor. One of his loyals no less. If that's true, and his cronie is confirmed, then we had just as well reach over and push the flush lever down on the U.S. economy and financial standing.
While this isn't necessarily related to the topic of the Trumpstein files, I'm afraid if we are putting all eggs in the midterm basket, it may be too late for some things.
Right on. We the Resistance need to Get Out The Vote! Approx. 86 million eligible voters didn’t cast a ballot in Nov. 2024. And even fewer people vote in the Midterms. Why??? All of us know people who choose not to vote, for one reason or another. We should talk to them and encourage them to change their outlook.
A man with dementia, a fraud, a pedophile, a murderer. . . and to think this disgusting waste of air has the codes to start a nuclear war! What the hell is wrong with republicans! Has trump threatened and/or bribed them them that much? They are a bunch of spineless cowards!
Congress and the public both need to have the full unredacted documents in the Epstein files. Based on what is in the ones they just released we can only assume that the other three million documents they are trying to hide must be truly horrific. Those people participating in those horrific acts are truly evil, soulless, demonic and deserve to be punished severely. Those people who choose to support and/or cover up for them are despicable individuals.
I definitely believe that an impartial “someone” should review the un-redacted material! These documents, videos and pictures need to be confirmed that they are actually seen by someone other than the DOJ. That’s the only way that I’ll believe this information! I am convinced that the DOJ has not been truthful. If they have…great! But if they haven’t been truthful, we need to know that too!
Based on what they released yesterday and then withdrew, how can the Department of Injustice plausibly claim they are doing anything except covering up for the oligarchs and Jabba? My bad. Plausability is not required for this administration. But accountability will be. American Nuremberg’s.
The Epstein Survivors are/would be threatened and counter sued by billionaires like; Musk, Gates, Theil, Zuckerberg and Dershowitz... as they always have been. In her book, Virginia Guiffre said that Epstein threatened her younger Brother right after the first time he and Maxwell raped her in his "Pink House" near Mar a Lago. He wanted to keep her silent. It's what criminal pedophile sex rings do.
We want the non-redacted files to be read by the Congress… not some bullshit paperwork that will evade prosecuting Trump. He is already a felon who should be behind bars.
According to billionaire bullshit news & media, the "voters" didn't / don't have a problem with tRump-o-phile being a convicted fellon... they just want cheap eggs and diesel.
yes, the now-women brutalized by these men deserve full, unredacted release of every single file related to the offenses. the worldwide public must also know what the files contain.
“We The People” are the bosses of all these federal miscreants. We have a right to know what legislators and administrators are doing on our time and on our dime.
Enough with the stalling tactics. Set a deadline and stick to it. When they fail to heed the law, impeach and prosecute them.
Trump went along with signing the law releasing the Epstein files because it included escape clauses. Blanche is defending his client and will redact anything that points to Trump or hold it back because of ongoing investigations. They will make sure they get the distractions. Comer, Jordan, and Johnson are regime tools and delay anything if it helps their dear leader. My congressman, a republican, was very unsupportive of the discharge petition.
Blanche moved G-Maxwell to a club fed where she has access to a "therapy puppy." G-Max is filling out her pardon paperwork for tRump-o-phile as we type; odds are 50/50 he will pardon her. maga is a sickness.
Stop talking and do something. Arrest those holding back the files. This is bullshit. We all know Trump is guilty of outrageous illegal acts.
THEY DON"T HAVE ANY POWER. The House is straight majority rule, and, in fact, Raskin is doing something by requesting the full files from the DOJ, but the House minority has no SUBPOENA POWER, so they can't compel the DOJ to do anything.

Gosh, elections DO have consequences after all. Duh! FAFO.
Maga controls the Court, Senate, House and White House thanks to the voters of November 2024 that just couldn't vote for a Strong Smart Black Woman and a Good Guy from Minnesota thanks to billionaire bullshit media and news.

Yay Jamie!! Wish you in charge!!
Thank you, representative, Jamie Raskin for all that you're doing for the American people.
I agree Thanks Jamie Raskin
THE TRUMP DOJ PRODUCED LESS THAN HALF OF THE PAGES OF THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Why aren't more people talking about that?--Jason
At least a very disgusting portion excaped for a little while (before it was retracted) and enough people saw/copied it. It needs to be seen EVERYWHERE.
Democracy is the CURE for the maga virus.
Of course the Dems should get this information to the public. Democratic ‘leadership’ is weak, unsophisticated, not very smart and acts like they are bought and paid for.

Read the agreement. Not what is being reported
I don't bother with mainstream; this came from Politicus. While current funding for ICE is still in play no new funds can be appropriated for at least 2 weeks, that is if the House approves.
WE DEMOCRATS OR ON IT! WE HAVE BEEN CLEANING UP MAGA MESSES SINCE 1933!
When the election is exactly right we must win and get to the bottom of this and charge every person who was involved in this horrible disgusting pedophil ring. Also I think it's very interesting to start learning and questioning Epstein's role in funding qanon
Stop with this bullshit myth of who is in power. Dems do not control the heat on the stove, maga perverts do.
They can demand all they want. Ridiculous. Take DJT’s team to court for allowing a prez with dementia to be president.
Your idea is impossible. They can't "take him to court," and if they did, there is no remedy for a court to remove a president. The brutal truth is NO ONE IS GOING TO DO THIS FOR YOU. THE ANSWER AND ONLY ANSWER IS FOR DEMOCRATS TO WIN THE MIDTERM ELECTION.---Jason

Yes, he has. They are terrified of him.---Jason

Protect the Epstein VICTIMS, not the Epstein "Johns!"

Thanks for liking! I appreciate it.

The Suvivors are talking about naming names. Also , Would they have standing to file a lawsuit because many names were not redacted?
The Epstein Survivors are/would be threatened and counter sued by billionaires like; Musk, Gates, Theil, Zuckerberg and Dershowitz... as they always have been.

YES, YES, YES: The victims deserve it!!!!! Thank you Jamie Raskin!!

We’ve had enough!
Turns out Elections have consequences like this pedophile crap.

Yes as a citizen of the United States for America we should have absolutely all the information it's criminal if they don't give it to us
