↑ This. It's a national security crisis not just for the US but also the UK and a bunch of other countries whose officials have been compromised by epstein's criminal honeytrapping intelligence operation on behalf of nations like russia and israel. The entire free world should have been putting pressure on the US to investigate and prosecute this matter, and share relevant parts of the epstein files so we can clean house too.
"We have no clear understanding of what leverage Putin may have gained" - well, apart from all the actions (and inaction) of those in senior levels of government over world affairs he's involved in...
Trump has been laundering russian mob money since the '80s https://youtu.be/5ejrJ4FuBOo?t=5m15s h">5m15s">https://youtu.be/5ejrJ4FuBOo?t=5m15s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Measures_(film)
This is why the Republicans came up with "We've looked at all the files, and there's nothing to see here. Case closed."
Remember that? Bondi and Patel. Two Trump loyalists. And now we find out, they've been covering for him AND for Trump's friends. You know, Trump's wealthy friends who he referred to Epstein.
The corruption is growing worse and worse in scope as this goes on. Republicans who keep trying to keep a lid on this? You're complicit. You will pay dearly in due time.
The comments here are starting to sound like qanon level bullshit, especially with how conspiracy theories and wild speculation are stated as "obvious truth".
Congress should be......My brother in Christ, most of them are part of it. Also, most of us called this in 2016. Trump and Epstein ran the ops for abducting kids to pass around, while getting up and coming people, who they could get high or drunk and doing something they might not do, then blackmail them with whatever they were doing. Diddy was doing the same shit, on his own accord. Mob mentality.
There's allegations that Trump was on the money laundering side and Epstein was on the Kompromat side of the same criminal organization with links to Mossad and Russian Mobsters
LOL so stupid. Everyone fucking knows. It's Super Bloody Obvious. The whole world can see that the entire US administration is utterly compromised. It's beyond a joke now.
Are you talking about from the pentagon? Cuz the Kremlin drained the pentagon for over a year and all they need is 5 minutes with any one file to copy it, there’s no “getting it back”
Exactly. They've had this information for decades and done more than nothing, they've silenced people for trying to bring the Epstein accomplices like Elon and trump down. Like Bill Clinton. There isn't a single functional leg of our government that operates in a way that is actually for the people.
I'm not seeing enough coordinated effort to rally, lead, and fight back from the Democrats, especially Schumer and Jeffries. They both need to be GONE and REPLACED. We can't have them stopping Democratic action, bottlenecking our only shot to reign this fascist regime in. We have limited time.
Anyone in congress or government who was alive before the civil rights movement in the 60s should be fired, jailed, or killed off. We need new blood in congress immediately.
Not to mention that Russia has been in control of the US for a hot minute. The whole thing needs to come down and be rebuilt from the ground up. Every single billionaire and politician should be investigated by the people, not the paid for police department.
OMG remember when FBI and CIA were so cool and professional and something to be respected and feared in a way. All those movies and TV show showing them as these amazing people, saving America and the world from evil and turn's out they are a bunch of fucking loser, yes men's who dgaf about anything but protecting pedophiles and corruption? (I know many have claimed the corruption before) But I'm talking about how they were shown in media vs the shit show we see now.
Yup, they don't plan to hold real elections again any time soon; that + the fact that MAGA has been brainwashed to the point where they'd probably shrug off even video evidence and excuse it in some way. Not that I *want* to see that shit, but it could be staring them in the face and they will still accept it to "own the libs."
Exactly! Am I reading this from 8 years ago when this turd had his lovely meeting with poopin in Helsinki, and classified documents went missing? Hard to tell cuz it’s all fucking connected!! It’s a broken record at this point.
Immediately upon his return to the US after his 1987 visit to Moscow where he was feted by high ranking Russian intelligence officials... he took out full page anti-NATO newspaper ads... and began publicly musing about a presidental run.
Now that the secret’s out though, and it seems a lot of nations’ upper echelons have been involved, no one can really point a finger without being hypocritical. All of them need to be expunged.

Well, I'm assuming Putin knows only to rape children in Russia on his terms, since he is ok with it occurring at all.

What leverage does Xi need? China already has a monopoly on rare earth procurement & refinement which is necessary for the US military.
China cares only about China and doesnt seek hegemony or to replace the US.

I thought this was settled conjecture since our government has been captured by a Russian agent, who is at the center of the kompromat operation?

Probably blackmailed as well. Maybe not by Putin directly, but the rich and powerful could get to ask branches of government to suppress evidence.

I'll say this, if Putin has info, why the FUCK would he give it to a nation that's not his own? Leverage is something no nation shares.

It's not just the Russians, Mossad for sure in the mix and I have ZERO doubts that our own CIA wouldn't want access.

Pretty sure the blackmail angle is worthless now.
The files are being released and people know about them.
There's no point to blackmail. Just a cabal of wealthy men running the world with impunity
And no one is going to hold them accountable

All the agents in Russia, China and other countries that suddenly died after Trump ratted them out would surely like to know.

Yeah, at a certain point no one would loan Trump money anymore except Russian oligarchs via Deutschebank which makes more sense now
