It’s about rattling time!
The nation has been ready for years now for the discharge of the Epstein Information — all the information the federal government collected on underage intercourse trafficker Jeffrey Epstein each earlier than and after his demise. Lots of Donald Trump‘s supporters believed he could be their champion and make all of it public… however it’s grow to be clear even to most of MAGA that’s a protracted wait on a practice that ain’t comin’.
No, Trump — a longtime pal of Epstein, and never the one one within the authorities — has made clear the place he stands. He doesn’t need any of it out, he needs everybody to close up and cease asking about it, he even went as far as to say all the factor was simply a pretend Witch Hunt — repeating as lately as Wednesday that it’s “a Democrat hoax.”
However after all, we all know that’s not true. Epstein’s right-hand lady and someday girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted on intercourse trafficking costs, primarily proving in court docket that Epstein was responsible, too. We imply, he died reasonably inconveniently in jail earlier than he was in a position to face justice, however his confederate’s responsible verdict was fairly definitive authorized proof. In any case, the victims mentioned it was each of them who recruited, sexually abused, and trafficked them to highly effective males.
So there’s simply that one free finish. Why the hell aren’t any of those highly effective males dealing with justice? Those who participated within the underage intercourse trafficking? That’s who everybody has been hoping could be uncovered when the Epstein Information lastly went public. However that… by no means occurred.
Nicely, fortunately a number of Republicans are standing as much as Trump and siding with Democrats to demand every little thing be launched. Congressmen Ro Khanna (D-California) and Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) are asking their fellow reps to signal a discharge to power Trump’s DOJ to launch all of the information. They have already got 134 of the 218 signatures they want, together with Republicans Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace, and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Wow. We could not agree with them on anything, however no less than we are able to all agree that UNDERAGE SEX TRAFFICKING IS WRONG! Jeez, why does this should be troublesome in any respect??
In a press convention on Wednesday morning, Rep. Massie hit again instantly at Trump’s “hoax” protection, saying:
“I believe it’s shameful that this has been known as a hoax. Hopefully, at the moment, we are able to clear that up. This isn’t a hoax. That is actual. There are actual survivors. There are actual victims to this prison enterprise, and the perpetrators are being protected as a result of they’re wealthy, highly effective, and political donors to the institution right here in Washington, DC.”
Of their strongest push for votes but, Khanna and Massie invited a few of these actual survivors of Epstein to talk out about what was finished to them — and why it’s so necessary these information be launched. Trump’s FBI and DOJ used the victims as an excuse why the information needs to be saved non-public, to guard them — however these girls are standing up and calling BS. And we’re so in awe of their bravery.
Annie Farmer was simply 16 years outdated when Epstein and Maxwell assaulted and took delicate pictures of her and her sister Maria Farmer. They even reported it to authorities on the time, and… nothing. That was in 1996, btw. Now she’s had three many years to witness the inaction when highly effective males are concerned. She advised the gang gathered on Capitol Hill on Wednesday:
“I’m now 46 years outdated; 30 years later, we nonetheless have no idea why that report wasn’t correctly investigated, or why Epstein and his associates had been allowed to hurt tons of, if not 1000’s, of different ladies and younger girls.”
She added, pointing on the males nonetheless being protected:
“Not solely did many others take part within the abuse, it’s clear that many had been conscious of his curiosity in ladies and really younger girls and selected to look the opposite manner as a result of it benefited them to take action. They needed entry to his circle and his cash. Their option to align together with his energy left these of us who had been harmed by this man and his associates feeling very remoted.”
Sky Roberts, brother of the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre — who died by suicide earlier this 12 months, echoed these sentiments:
“The justice system was not designed to serve the highly effective, it was meant to guard the individuals — and it’s time it began doing simply that.”
He has each cause to be livid. The President of america admitted to figuring out that Epstein “stole” his 16-year-old sister from Mar-a-Lago, and has confronted no penalties in any way…
However the victims weren’t simply there to encourage Congress to attempt to discover them justice — they revealed they’re able to struggle with the one weapon they’ve: data.
As Haley Robson, who says she was trafficked by Epstein to different males beginning when she was 16 years outdated, mentioned:
“We’re the keys. We all know the video games. We all know the gamers.”
She additionally blasted the DOJ for utilizing the victims as their protect for not releasing the information, saying:
“Disgrace on you for utilizing our trauma to weaponize this second.”
Nicely, you understand who isn’t going to take advantage of the survivors and their trauma? The survivors themselves. Accuser Lisa Phillips declared to thunderous applause:
“And let me announce now: A number of of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our personal record of names. We all know the names. Many people had been abused by them. Now collectively as survivors we’ll confidentially compile the names everyone knows had been commonly within the Epstein world. And will probably be finished by survivors and for survivors. Nobody else is concerned.”
Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa! Hell yeah! This can be a whole recreation changer!
We’ve got to imagine they’ve stayed quiet for therefore lengthy as a result of they had been afraid of what would occur to them. In any case, accusers have confronted threats each of the authorized AND violent sort. Nicely… not anymore! Now that it’s grow to be clear the federal government needs to be dragged kicking and screaming to reality and transparency, it’s nicely previous time for these girls to take cost.
It seems like a technique or one other, an “Epstein record” goes to get launched. In any case, they know who among the males who abused them are. Why shouldn’t they be allowed to shout it from the rooftops? Who’s going to cease them from outing sexual predators and rapists of minors??
Oh, proper.
A White Home official blasted the efforts to launch the Epstein information, despite the fact that they clearly have the backing of the victims. They mentioned:
“Serving to Thomas Massie and Liberal Democrats with their attention-seeking, whereas the DOJ is totally supporting a extra complete file launch effort from the Oversight Committee, could be considered as a really hostile act to the administration.”
A “very hostile act” to the Trump administration?! Why would the push for a launch of data be hostile to Trump? Hmm, let’s take into consideration that one…
Among the victims hinted on the males concerned. Chauntae Davies identified how Epstein and Maxwell had been persistently “boastful about their well-known or highly effective pals.” And Epstein liked bragging most about how shut he was with Trump:
“And his largest brag eternally was that he was superb pals with Donald Trump. He had an 8 by 10 framed image of him on his desk with the 2 of them, like they had been very shut.”
A number of males have been related to Epstein over time. Invoice Clinton rode on his airplane and apparently had him over to the White Home. Lawyer Alan Dershowitz had some type of relationship, although he’s fairly litigious about what sort. Prince Andrew has been straight up accused of getting intercourse with 17-year-old Virginia Roberts.
However we don’t know of another identify as intently related to Jeffrey Epstein as our forty seventh President.
Trump was good pals with Epstein for years, they had been get together buddies, having been described by mutual pals and acquaintances as “greatest pals” and “wingmen.” There’s a ton of picture and video proof of them partying collectively. There are tales about them hanging out with younger girls. Hell, Trump even mentioned in a profile in 2003:
“I’ve recognized Jeff for 15 years. Terrific man, He’s a number of enjoyable to be with. It’s even mentioned that he likes stunning girls as a lot as I do, and lots of of them are on the youthful aspect.”
If that weren’t suspicious sufficient, Trump really has been accused of wrongdoing with Epstein. A lady going by the pseudonym Katie Johnson advised a horrifying story years in the past, accusing Trump of tying her to a mattress at Epstein’s house and raping her. She mentioned she was solely 13 years outdated when this occurred. The identical age as his daughter Ivanka Trump that 12 months.
Johnson withdrew her lawsuit in opposition to Trump, citing fears for her security, and has since disappeared. You possibly can learn her total story HERE, you probably have the abdomen for it.
The purpose is, there could also be an enormous cause Trump is so eager to comb all this beneath the rug — and at all times has been. However he can now not silence the survivors.
We don’t know what’s going to come first, the victims’ unofficial Epstein record or the precise launch of actionable materials by the US authorities… but when we needed to guess, the sensible cash is on the ladies to return by way of.
And rattling, we can not wait.
