Epstein list release predictions and followup

[Vrede too]

MAGAts don't really care about the sexual abuse and rape of children. They only pretended to when they thought Dems were more culpable and vulnerable. Now, Dems and some MAGAts are calling their bluffs and top level MAGA and the donor class is cowering in fear.

[GoCubsGo]

Some high stakes chicken going on.

[O Really]

How stupid are those Democrats?

Hacker-for-Hire (HFH): "Ok guys, so I've discovered how to hack into all the voting machines and rig the elections."
DumbDems (DD): "That's great, but I thought the machines weren't connected or even on the internet."

HFH: "Yeah, but I've got a way to get around that. You've never seen anything like this before. I call it the trumpcombobulator. Instead of accessing the machines on the internet, I can go through the power system. If that bugger is plugged in, I'll rig it."

DD: "We didn't know that would work - so you can access all the voting machines and create custom ballots even though they're not connected to each other?"

HFH: Yep. I was working with a Nigerian prince on some money making ventures and found the power plug works for changing the voter machine data."

DD: OK - that sounds good then. How much does it cost?"

HFH: "Just 10 mill. But there's an extra charge for cover-up and personal indemnity for you guys. There's also an extra charge for any candidates other than president."

DD: "We don't think anybody is really going to vote for Trump again, but we'll buy it. We'll pass on the other candidates, though. With a strong and very popular candidate like Biden, the Senate and House races will be a snap."

So the Dems paid the hacker a total of $20 mill to switch around a few power switches and barely kept control of Congress. But sometime between then and 2022, they lost contact with the HFH, who was last seen at Rick's bar in Casablanca. Without the trumpcombobulator, the DD lost the House and Senate and later the White House.

But the cover-up they paid for worked very well, as there has never been any evidence of any sort showing any fraud occurred.

Smocking gun wouldn't matter. He's already survived the scandal and most people thing he did something or other. He's not going to lose any cultists, including those in Congress, just because of some party foul before his first term.

True Dat, his 35% wouldn't care if he shot someone on 5th Ave.

The congresscritters are getting skeered though, but their beds are made and they know it.

It's going to be a rough summer, he's going to turn up the heat to try and federalize national elections and invoke the Insurrection Act.

The skeered congresscritters aren't going to know what to do, so they'll do nothing.

What are referring to by federalize national elections? I do believe folks should prove citizenship to register to vote, but states should make those laws.

Maybe you haven't been paying attention.

That's not what DonOld is aiming for, he's said so irregardless of the Constitution.

Trump shared his idea on former Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino's podcast earlier this week, continuing his longstanding position that widespread fraud is a problem for U.S. elections. That claim was repeatedly found to be lacking evidence when he tried to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

"The Republicans should say, 'We want to take over,'" Trump said of nationalizing elections. "'We should take over the voting in at least maybe 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize voting.'"

As I stated. States should regulate elections.

[GoCubsGo]

What are referring to by federalize national elections?

Cognitive dissonance.

That coverup sure did it, though.....no smocking gun, and only assertions of a stollen election. Incredible.

LAUREN BOEBERT SHAKEN AFTER VIEWING UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES

I’ve never seen Lauren Boebert react like this.

After reviewing unredacted Epstein material, she said co-conspirators are clearly implicated — and made it clear she does NOT view everyone discussed as “victims.”

Her response was visceral.

“This is absolutely disgusting.”

No clemency.

More prison time.

Harsher conditions.

If this is the reaction from just some of what’s been seen — the public is being shielded from horrors far worse.

END THE COVER-UP. RELEASE THE NAMES.

GoBozobertGo!

I'm a little unclear on part of her point. Is she saying that some of the underage girls are not victims? If so, I'd want to hear her elaborate.

[O Really]

IMNVHO the definition of "victim" has been stretched past any reliable use.
It doesn't help that many who clearly meet the original definition of "victim" insist that they' re not victims, they're "survivors" or whatever.
It also doesn't help that some who willingly enter into risky relationships for their own purposes become "victims" when it goes awry. (Is a 16-year old male really automatically a "victim" of "child sex assault" just because he bangs the French teacher?)

[GoCubsGo]

Survivor and victim are certainly not mutually exclusive.

There may be some underage "participants" who went in with eyes open but by all accounts there were many more there were many more who were naively coerced and others that were trafficked.

It's far to big and too much of a mess to pigeonhole any one thing, especially as the raw data is only now just starting to come out.

And it all is dirty regardless of the label.

[O Really]

Sure, one can say "I was a victim of a rapist but I survived and now I teach self-defense"
But, and not actually in reference to the Epstein people, many who clearly were victims are denying use of that term entirely.

And yeah, dirty regardless of the label.

[GoCubsGo]

Starting to think she isn't half stupid for having a reasonable amount of foresight.

Oops!

Howard Lutnick after getting busted lying about having nothing to do with Epstein after 2005, instead visited him again in 2012 (after Epstein's conviction as a sex offender mind you).



He seems kind of nervous and subdued. He's usually pretty boisterous and arrogant.

Buzz kill. Mention of Lutnick rid the room of Levity:

Karoline Leavitt cuts short White House briefing after reporter asks about Commerce chief Lutnick’s Epstein island admission

... Leavitt was roughly 20 minutes into one of her regular briefings with the White House press corps when a reporter asked whether President Donald Trump would stand behind Lutnick, who earlier in the day had admitted to members of the Senate Commerce Committee that he’d visited Epstein’s notorious private island, Little Saint James.

She replied that Trump “fully supports” Lutnick and described him as “a very important member of President Trump's team.”

But instead of allowing reporters to probe further into Trump’s views on Lutnick, or ask any other further questions, Leavitt launched into a monologue chastising reporters for not asking about various positive statistics touted by the administration on issues of importance to the president.

... While he had told the New York Post in October that he’d cut off contact with Epstein — his onetime next door neighbor — after a 2005 encounter that he claimed had left him so unsettled that he’d vowed to “never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again,” documents released by the Justice Department showed that Lutnick not only maintained ties with Epstein as late as 2018 — the year before he was indicted on federal sex trafficking charges and long after he’d spent time in jail for state-level offenses related to his preying on young girls — but even arranged a visit to Epstein’s so-called “rape island” in 2012.

The commerce secretary admitted to visiting the infamous landmass, which is part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, on Tuesday under questioning from Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen....

Some sins cannot be excused.

It's been about DonOLD's friends all along. "Pedophile protector" was the correct phrase to hurl at him in that factory.

Six men including ‘high-up’ foreign official redacted from Epstein files

... Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, said he discovered the names of six men whose identities have been redacted from the released documents and who “are likely incriminated by their inclusion in these files”.

Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, said: “There’s no explanation why those people were redacted.”

Let the leaks begin.

... The Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), which Congress passed in November, compelled the US department of justice (DoJ) to release all of the documents in its possession related to Jeffrey Epstein.

It required the redaction of the names or personal identifying information about Epstein’s victims, who numbered more than 1,000 according to the FBI.

"more than 1,000", wow. Probably better to err on the side of caution rather than parse the definition of "victim" at this stage. We can create a credible mechanism to do that.

But it said no records could be “withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure or foreign dignitary”.

“Our law was very clear,” Mr Khanna said. “Unless something was classified, it required it to be unredacted.”

Bazinga.

‘Redacted for inscrutable reasons’

Jamie Raskin, a Democrat from Maryland, was among the members of congress who examined the unredacted Epstein files at a secure DoJ location on Monday....

"My" Rep

“I saw the names of lots of people who were redacted for mysterious or baffling or inscrutable reasons,” Mr Raskin told reporters.

He added: “There are certainly lots of names of other people who were enablers and co-operators with Jeffrey Epstein that were just blanked out for no apparent reason.” ...

Kash-Blondage corruption.

Who? I want a list.

GOP Senator Changes Tune On Epstein Files Release: ‘Now I See What the Big Deal Is’

Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) told Congressional reporter Pablo Manríquez on Monday that she now supports the full release of the Epstein files after expressing shock at the inclusion of a potentially nine-year-old victim in the latest document dump.

“I’ve not been one of the members who has glommed on to this as an issue. I’ve sort of intentionally deferred to others to find out about it. But nine-year-old victims—” Lummis told Manríquez, expressing shock and horror at the revelation.

Manríquez jumped in and added, “All over the world—Moscow is saying it was sort of like a real global network that they’re now getting to see on these four terminals they have.” The terminals refer to the Department of Justice computers that members of Congress are being allowed to view the unredacted Epstein files on.

"global network" - QAnon was right, but those that thought it was mostly Dems who were implicated were wrong.

“Wow. Well, initially, my reaction to all this was, ‘I don’t care. I don’t know what the big deal is.’ But now I see what the big deal is, and it was worth investigating. And the members of Congress that have been pushing this were not wrong. So that’s really my only reaction,” Lummis added.

Lummis’s remarks are a notable break from President Donald Trump’s position on the Epstein files and the House Republicans who pushed for their release, including Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) – who Trump has vowed to run out of office. “It’s all been a big hoax, it’s perpetrated by the Democrats,” Trump said last year about the effort to release the files. “And some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans fall into the net. And so they try and do the Democrats’ work. The Democrats are good for nothing other than these hoaxes.”

Dozy Don is busted LYING, again. His people had access to the files and knew it wasn't "a big hoax ... perpetrated by the Democrats". Pedophile protector.

Lummis announced late last year that she will not seek reelection and is leaving politics when her term ends in January 2027.

Another lame duck finally sees the light.
