Katy Tur has advice for Dems about Epstein

She thinks that demanding the release of the files is "dangerous" and "playing in that world." I was happy to see that her guest Sam Stein set her straight by saying that there is nothing wrong with demanding the files' release when trump, his son, and maga were all asking for that until a few days ago. It's perfectly reasonable to ask what changed and why they're not releasing them.

She is referring to all the Democrats, and World "leaders" who are most probably in the list along with all the republicans of course (I have a feeling the list of republicans is bigger), and it will create chaos to oust all those people. Do I think they should be ousted and made accountable? Of course I do, it may help clean the planet of the trash that has been in positions of power where they should never have been.

I know that it will be hard for many to find people in that list who they have admired for a long time, but pedophilia can never be condoned, those girls have scars for life, and the people who were responsible should pay.

But, I understand where she is coming from...is she wrong? I think she is because no matter who is in the list, they committed a crime of which the World cannot turn their heads away from just because of who they are.

There may not be an explicit "list," but the DOJ/FBI memo itself states that there are over 10,000 videos and images and 100s of gigabytes of data. Bondi uses the excuse that she won't release child pornography to the public. The problem is that we won't know who else is implicated unless this info is analyzed. The Epstein prosecution was only about Epstein and Maxwell. The FBI kept other identities secret to protect the victims and other "third parties." The public is demanding to know who the other adult third parties are that were participating in the child rape and trafficking. It can't be all just Epstein or Maxwell, and this is not just "playing in the world" of a Q-anon CT.

…it would have been published by now. Donnie and Melanoma first bumped uglies aboard Epstein’s jet (I just threw up in my mouth a little), they were besties for over a decade. The convict is all over the files and he is in a trap of his own making.

May his fall be epic!

We can say to MAGA, 'give us control of the House back, and we will get to the bottom of this, and if there's Dems names in there that legit need prosecuting for actual crimes, then so be it, because Rule of Law and blind justice and all that.'

But we can't then back off some, all, or any of it because there might be names in there that are 'problematic'.

If we pull this thread (which I think we should, btw), it has to be a 'justice be done THO THE HEAVENS FALL' kinda thing, we CANNOT half-ass it, otherwise we look like exactly the same kind of political hacks that have been enabling this clown show for a fucking decade.

because oxen will be gored all over the place and in both parties, not to mention among fat businessmen worldwide who came to Pedo Island to play. And heaven forbid corporate charts get threatened because too many of the upper executives were caught raping young girls whose bodies were rented to them by Jeffrey Epstein.

I don't care who gets caught. I don't care if the markets are fouled up by the disappearance of so much executive power. I just want them all to stop stalling and get this stuff out, already. By "thrm," I mean the DOJ of either party, workers at the DOJ members of both parties. Enough.

If they don't, it will just keep going on under some other Pimp to the Plutocracy.
