The Republican-led House Oversight Committee released a report Tuesday detailing how the Department of Justice mishandled investigations into sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, failing to interview witnesses.
“The crimes committed by Epstein after 2005 could have been prevented and justice served had it not been for the repeated failures of law enforcement and federal prosecutors,” the 136-page report states.
This is a “majority staff” report, meaning that it was written and released by the Republicans. I have no intention of reading it: they’ve never told the whole truth and have not just started now.
For anyone paying attention, all the Republicans on House Oversight have done is stall and delay and block and kid-glove anyone under suspicion – unless they were a Trump enemy, like the Clintons, and then they got the third degree under subpoena. The few brave House Oversight Republicans that did actually cross the aisle to get Epstein’s co-conspirators, like Thomas Massie of Kentucky who is one of the co-authors of EFTA, then got primaried out of their jobs for their disloyalty to Trump.
So this “report” is about Republicans trying to get out in front of the newly-empowered investigations that will start in January by blaming in advance everyone else who didn’t do their job, including blaming Dems for failed attempts to act that failed because the Republicans stopped it dead themselves. I won’t waste my time now reading about how some Sheriff Jim Bob in bumfuck Ohio failed to go after billionaire Les Wexner, or Dems could have done more. They tried. We already know all that.
I’m sure some of it’s true, as far as it goes, but the big news will come next year. Hard pass on this.
Department of Epstein
investigated by House Epstein Committee.
20 years of this, boy what a mystery. bOtH pArTiEs are openly complicit and obstructing justice.
I just checked a few days ago, we’re at almost 10 suicides on this case alone, at least two within prison facilities. If you include suspicious deaths… man, this is some frightening shit. Who knew that the upper Manhattan elite lived such dangerous lives?
no, they exposed the victims and protected the accused.
USA comes second after Israel and Epstein class.
USA comes second after Israel and Epstein class.
What?
Like, you know North Korea exists, right?
There’s a bunch of countries worse
That’s a whole new sentence.
That’s every anti-dem politcal ad I saw in the last 2 months.
Voted against the big bs bill, which included penalties for housing immigrants and trans.
The ads: “They voted for taxpayer funded housing for illegal immigrants and trans surgeries for children!”
That’s not what they meant; they’re saying that US politicians prioritize Israel and the Epstein class before US citizens.
I think they’re saying the interests of the American public come third in the eyes of The System, after the interests of Israel and the Epstein class.
I also, I have no influence on North Korea, so however bad it is, it is not as directly relevant as what goes on in my own country. See: whataboutism.
Didn’t we know this already? Bondi refused to even look at them.
Shocked, I say
At least rename the DOJ more accurately. Or put /s at the end of the title!
Department of jackasses still fits pretty well.
