Democrats’ most disgusting Epstein Files abuses – Latest News
For all of the noise about First Lady Melania Trump “reviving” the Jeffrey Epstein story, Democratic smear retailers have been by no means going to let it fade.
Trump on Thursday forthrightly damned and debunked the infinite insinuations concerning her supposed hyperlinks to the late unlamented perv, whereas additionally (maybe understandably) feeding the furor by calling for the “victims” to be heard.
In actuality, no one claiming to be an Epstein sufferer has any hassle discovering keen ears within the media, or on Capital Hill.
And well-known, rich males whose names seem someplace in “the Epstein files” are getting dragged to testify: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is set to seem May 6 earlier than the House Oversight Committee; Microsoft’s Bill Gates, on June 10.
Despite the truth that zero proof has ever surfaced of the supposed huge pedo sex-trafficking ring.
Prominent Democrats like Reps. Jamie Raskin (Md.) and Ro Khanna (Calif.), and eccentric headline-hunting GOP Rep. Tom Massi (Ky.) keep claiming the scandal’s far larger than but identified, however by no means ever ship any items.
Epstein was a sleaze and a intercourse prison, and an influence-peddler on a huge scale, hob-nobbing with rich-and-powerful people from Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman and Elon Musk to Gates and Lutnick; his affairs make for a {powerful} story about money, intercourse and accountability.
Yet nothing signifies any of these poobahs dedicated any crimes, so how this deserves infinite congressional hearings is a thriller — until the precise objective of these hearings is to get digicam time for Raskin, Massie et al.
Oh, and to ahead their mudslinging on the Trumps — who provably cut off contract with the perv twenty years in the past: One now-released FBI doc exhibits Donald Trump congratulating the cops for investigating Epstein and urging them to take a look at “evil” Ghislaine Maxwell, too.
But unscrupulous Dems (with an help from Trump-hating Massie) keep portray The Donald as sitting beside Epstein on the throne of a Satanic international cabal of pedophile traffickers.
And that actually every part Trump has ever accomplished in time period two is an effort to distract from this (utterly made up) truth.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) routinely promotes loopy claimes; he all however accused Trump of rape in a congressional listening to, laundering claims from identified confabulator Dan Ferree.
Raskin, a repeated Russiagate liar, has carried out an infinite media circus over the release of the Epstein Files, usually insisting the actual grime is hidden underneath redactions (that are legally required to guard Epstein victims) whereas by no means truly claiming to have seen proof of a single crime.
Khanna, in the meantime, named 4 males as wealthy Epstein associates uncovered within the Files that the Trump Justice Department was defending; in truth they have been featured in a photograph caption amid these 1000’s upon 1000’s of paperwork; they’d nothing to do with the financier.
This is Russiagate 2.0 — besides it’s 1,000 occasions more far-fetched and deranged.
If Dems like Raskin and Lieu truly believed these things, they belong not in Congress however confined to a mental-health ward.
But they don’t imagine it, of course.
As quickly as one of his Dem colleagues acquired caught up within the Epstein mess, Raskin pretended it didn’t matter: He defined that Stacey Plaskett, now the Virgin Islands delegate to the House, was merely “taking a phone call from a constituent” when she was strategizing with Epstein about how to harm Trump in 2019.
Dems in Congress know that as long as they pump out slop like this, they are going to win plaudits from the Trump-hating media, seal-clapping boomers of their own get together, and even figures on the Podcast Right — together with low-watt conspiracists like ex-Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
As we’ve famous earlier than, Democrats have no platform past opposing Trump; all too many are glad to lie and cheat and slander as long as the primary thrust is Orange Man Bad.
And so that they’ll keep offering up circuses, because the Lutnick and Gates hearings are sure to be — and so reminding America that, no matter foibles afflict the GOP, Democrats don’t have anything however the most cynical efforts to take advantage of the very worst components of human nature.
