This week we received one of the crucial hopeful bits of stories but about this Jeffrey Epstein scandal… however there’s a reasonably large hurdle to clear nonetheless.
The Donald Trump administration could also be content material to bury the Epstein recordsdata endlessly, with the President personally calling the entire thing “a Democrat hoax”… However the victims gained’t go away!
A number of girls who had been abused and trafficked by Epstein within the ’90s and 2000s got here to Capitol Hill on Wednesday and spoke out. And in one of many bravest, most badass strikes we’ve seen, they introduced they had been placing collectively their very own Epstein checklist! Accuser Lisa Phillips declared:
“And let me announce now: A number of of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our personal checklist of names. We all know the names. Many people had been abused by them. Now collectively as survivors we are going to confidentially compile the names everyone knows had been repeatedly within the Epstein world. And it is going to be performed by survivors and for survivors. Nobody else is concerned.”
Hell yeah!
Many requested why they aren’t simply saying the names proper there. We imply, they did point out Trump and Invoice Clinton by identify as being a part of Epstein’s circle… however they didn’t make accusations in opposition to anybody apart from Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Why??

Kentucky Consultant Thomas Massie, the Republican Congressman who’s main the cost along with his Democratic counterpart Ro Khanna from California, defined simply that to people on the web. Taking to his X (Twitter) account, he wrote:
“Survivors at our press convention introduced they’re privately compiling their very own Epstein checklist. They might be sued into homelessness for naming names…”
Yeah, we’ve already seen a few of them threatened with lawsuits earlier than. Even when they filed lawsuits, they’d nonetheless face authorized motion in retaliation. Alan Dershowitz truly did countersue Virginia Roberts Giuffre. All of the accused most likely have actually highly effective, costly authorized groups. It’s an enormous impediment.
Nevertheless, Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene give no effs in the case of one thing this morally clear — they usually have a sure safety that would permit them to announce the checklist publicly! He continued…
“…however @RepMTG and I are prepared to call names within the Home of Representatives below Constitutional ‘speech or debate’ immunity.”
That’s wonderful! We may truly get this factor out this fashion! It wouldn’t give us the recordsdata with all of the proof and accusations which are already on file… However it will be one thing. And hey, if simply SIX Republicans be a part of all of the Democrats within the Home, they might drive the DOJ to disclose all of it!
Somebody requested why accusing the boys of crimes opened them as much as lawsuits in any respect — questioning why they couldn’t simply press expenses in opposition to the boys for what they did. Massie identified the unhappy actuality:
“People can’t file felony expenses. That will be as much as the federal government, who already has these names, and has already didn’t file expenses.”
Rattling. Not solely have they didn’t file expenses, Trump’s DOJ and FBI made clear that they had no intention of ever doing so. That’s what received this renewed fervor going within the first place!
However hey, not less than somebody in Congress has a spine!
