The credibility was lost a long time ago .. first Bondi had the Epstein files on her desk .. then she didn’t have them ( determined that nobody would be investigated ) .. now Trump does one tweet saying we should investigate prominent Democrats and its game on again! Btw … wasn’t Trump a Democrat before he decided to run for President?? If he was a Democrat at the time of his crimes with Epstein then that’s fair game for the investigation 😉 checkmate White House
My thoughts exactly. They left just enough to not make it super obvious how much they shredded (maybe missed this one though, can’t imagine they meant to leave this in), so now it’s time to take down everyone else while he looks clean.
Agreed, but you are expecting far too honest investigation..... Remember he was mentored by Roy Cohn....
It is meant to float allegations and lurid potential headlines as opponents are forced to prove they did not have sex with underage girls....
This muddys the water for most people, but as chum for his base... "See these Democrat elites are child molesters that accuse me of doing what they do!"
This will all be echoed and supported by right wing media propaganda.
Well I sure didn't expect Trump to suck Clinton's dick, it's so far out of my bingo card I'm open to anything until my crystal ball recalibrates. If you're right, this is great.
Sadly, I'm thinking his probe will focus _solely_ on Democrats and while this is good, too, he'll be doing it specifically to harm the democratic party and he himself will remain completely immune to prosecution and his optics shielded by "hurr durr hoax" propaganda.
when the internet began more wildly used, 2000-2006, the original live chat on cnn, all news stories had comments section on bottom, youtube, FB... when a story/comment about rapist, pedophiles came up 30% of the comments would be "death penalty to rapists/pedophiles". this increased each year until trump was found to have raped carroll and u just don't see this posted anymore. u rarely/never see posted "death penalty to pedophiles". it makes me nervous others don't seem to remember/notice it!
Agreed, but you know his justice department will only investigate “enemies” or nothing at all… By starting this investigation it means the files can’t be released now, even if it gets enough votes
It's almost funny that he thinks he's "getting us" with that, he doesn't realize we don't worship politicians like maga does, so good let him be a little bitch and report other people on the way out.
i guess "active case" means the FBI cannot release files to congress/public. i'm guessing, i have no legal background. but i know how evil thinks! i'd be #1 detective!
Remember how Biden wouldn't order the DoJ to go after trump because he didnt want to be accused of weaponizing the government to attack political enemies?
Yes. What a piece of shit excuse for not upholding the law. Proving nothing more than dems are enablers of the current situation. Let's be clear. Dems are , without questions, complicit in all of this.
Oh, I'm sure the republicans will push to have every single democrat found to be involved straight up executed - and probably at least some who weren't involved through some made up excuse.
There’s a cognitive functioning problem that enables conservatism. They have no empathy, or creativity. They can’t imagine a world where people outside their cult aren’t just their inverse. That’s why they lose in the end. When it comes down to the violence we’re just better at it.
Because, aside from cases of pedophilia, democrat voters don't seem to want to admit that their politicians might also be corrupt(ible). Given the trend of democrats behaving like fascists instead of speaking on behalf of the people, I feel this is understandable.
We cheered when Menendez and Blogoyovich got sent to prison.... if you find out our people are corrupt, prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law... We are not Republicans, we believe in the Rule of Law and we believe our lawmakers should be held to a higher standard than the regular folk, not a lower one...
And none of them deserve immunity for criminal prosecution for their official acts, ift hey break the law they need to face the same consequences we would.
Because having a republican exposed scares them, and they can't comprehend that non-republicans don't religiously idolize the politicians like the republicans do.
Because they are in a cult and they think that democrats care about their “precious leaders” like they do. They don’t realize democrats aren’t cultists like they are.
It's not just that. It's just they want to arrest only Democrat targets so they can have an even stronger stranglehold on the government.
And when people are still debating if we should do something about protecting our freedom, they'll close the investigation and mysteriously only arrest Democrat targets.
Because if the betrayal that the Senate Democrats just pulled off days ago is any indication, threatening to expose Democrats has proven to be a successful way to protect Republicans.
becasue they assuem since they are a cult that dems must also be. They fail to realzie Dems would gladly punish their own party if they did the crime. That logic is completely foreign to them ebcasue they are a cult.
The fat pedo hopes to muddy the field and dilute the 'guilt' by producing other pedos, but only Democrat ones... Get ready for a bunch of counterfeit 'Epstein' pages that 'prove' he's innocent and it was all the Dems...
I would argue that trump needs to go down far harder than anyone else since he used his position and the Color of Law to protect himself from accountability.
I think the death penalty for these actions should be\ the minimum sentence.
I think we don't have the attraction to charismatic leaders... if I found out Bernie Sanders was a pedophile, I would never speak his name again and call it out every time he was mentioned.... I have had people I admired (Louis CK, Kevin Spacey, etc...) called out as sexual assaulters and I walked away...
I think Louis CK was one of the greatest comedians of our time, but it doesn't matter any more, he is done...
Generally, yeah, except some Dems and progressives REALLY like their entertainers-turned-politicians. The number of people who are still defending Al Franken today even after there is literally a photo of him sexually assaulting the woman who has accused him of sexually assaulting her multiple times, with the ridiculous "Oh, that was just a joke" as if making a joke about sexually assaulting your coworker without her consent on a work trip is somehow okay.
I found what Al Franken did to be unfortunate and wrong... I wish it hadn't happened but it did and he needed to resign and did so.
While some argue what he did, did not rise to the level of 'grab em by the pussy' or the actual adjudication of rape of trump, and I would agree, but I also hold my side to the same standard I demand of Republicans.
The difference is Republicans do not give a shit and will ignore everything up to and including child rape.
Your conspiracy involves all of the GOP being complicit and nothing ever being leaked, even during presidential campaigns. You might as well believe Martians were involved at that point.
