Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has theorized that House Republicans declared an early summer recess not only to avoid voting on the Epstein files, but also to give President Donald Trump time to prepare documents to pardon Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Sorry for the edited headline but i wanted to communicate the important bit.
She could still be subpoena’d by Congress–House Oversight Committee already has–and I don’t think she could plead the fifth on anything if she’s already pardoned. So yeah, go ahead and do that.
I mean I’m all for throwing fuel on the fire, but Congress is such a weak body, where they constantly allow those giving testimony to get a pass while being in effective contempt.
Yes throw fuel on the fire. But there needs to be meat on the menu. Democrats/ Democratic talking heads have tried in engaging in this kind of business before. Look at the Rachel Maddow/ Trump tax return edge fest that should make most ASMR content creators blush. And it went no-where.
Democrats need to not make a show of going after this; they need to actually go after this. No more jerking themselves or the base off. Go for blood with the intent to kill.
They won’t because there are almost certainly big Democratic donors on that list. And Bill. Both parties slow walked this whole thing for decades.
The AOC and Bernie types don’t care about that, but they don’t serve on the Oversight Committee. Still, just getting Maxwell there should stoke the fires.
We’ll see. She made a serious betrayal the other day with her vote on “defensive weapons” for Israel and is not currently meeting the moment.
This might end up being more AIPAC/ Israel controlling the strings than anything else. There is reasonable conjecture that Epstein had ties to Israelli foreign intelligence, so he may have been either leveraged or using his position to gain leverage for Israel. The assumption seems to be that its “only” the US government that has whatever dirt Epstein had collected, well it may not hold.
Lets just say that Israel has copies of some or much of the evidence gathered in the Epstein case, and some of it applies to now living, now in power politicians. This would give them real power over those people, so long as they have the only copy.
If it all comes out, well there goes all that leverage.
