Too many politicos of both sides went to Epstein’s underage porn island.

Not going to post it here, but a quick search will reveal plenty of sicko Republicans and Democrats of the highest level, including several with notorious sex scandals.

But it’d be a good way to get banned.

There are bad Democrats, too, you know.

It’s a perversion that crosses party lines, just like anti Semitic assholes are well entrenched across the parties.

His great sin seemed to be mugging for a photo, pretending to feel a model's bulletproof vest. I'm not sure what the statute of limitations is for touching someone's bulletproof vest, but it caused his downfall.

So yes, let's name names, and damn the investigations.

Not names names, but investigate Epstein regardless of who else turns up in the investigations, even should they be inconvenient to your politics.

Franken, being wholly irrelevant to this case, even by use of your faulty analogy, is simply a straw-man being thrown against the wall hoping it sticks.


After all is said and done, it comes down to which is more important... justice, or political expediency.

But its easy to say "if you know the names, post them".
They know who others associated with Epstein and his travel habits are, but will claim "RW talking points" if you DARE.

And A quick Google search will give you some other well known names connected to him and his trips.

In particular, the lawsuit that was brought during the campaign rather mysteriously disappeared. Was that another "Stormy/Karen" payment to go away?

the problem is does a prosecutor or AG in Florida have the guts to bring back the case against Epstein?

I think the judge that ruled that the victims were denied justice gave possible prosecutors 18 days to file new charges. Time is ticking away. Who in Florida has the guts to buck these powerful people who palled around with Epstein? I don't see anyone stepping up to the plate. How about one of our Democratic presidential candidates pushing the envelop? Crickets.

If anyone from this administration was involved in the sweetheart deal he gave Epstein to make it go away, and if trump knew or was involved also. Also money records could be used again to link these actions used by Acosta to cover up their deal. Its just a matter of time before he either lies , or tells the truth , and if he lies he'll go to prison, and if he doesn't he still may serve a lesser sentence. trump will threaten exposing others if he's held accountable if he was involved. Cohen may also know something about this, or his CFO that's turned on trump.

There are too many easy targets for our easily swayed newsreaders to recite. Discussing this one might lose them their morning car service and nice cushy job at the studio.

Maybe our illustrious newsreaders don't have Google. I know they have no integrity. Or maybe they just haven't heard. LOFL

Good ol' GOP. I've read about drumpf and the rape of the 13 year old years before he announced his run at 'presidency'. Was Mainstream Media more concerned about ratings friendly (and super damn fugly) drumpf than actual news? Epstein has been a pervert for years, used his connections to essentially have all of his charges swept under the rug. Let's see how this and the Sex Trafficking in Jupiter, FL all play out. Will anything actually happen? or because this involves 'important' men and females who are expendable for the greater good, will it all be swept under the rug, AGAIN!

the look on lanny davis' when he was asked what he would say, and the way he stressed his immorality, his disgusting behavior, tells me this will spill.
i think that when he is asked about other women were paid off, some will be teens.
