It Has Begun

Still you. No direct line of evidence.

If they did have it, it would seem they're less corrupt and partisan than you assume they are.

 

Are you seriously saying that possession of all that hardware, containing all links to digital communications, that the government can’t access the information?? Hell, use your debit card at a gas station in NYC and let us know how that works out.

I assume nothing, the proof of corruption and partisanship is in the burn bags, the known lies under oath, and their emails. Not less, more.

 

I'm saying the house oversight committee didn't have these emails. And they were the ones that subpoenaed and released it now. We can't know about the FBI.

You sure are going a long way to defend the your priors. I bore of the gymnastics show.

 

Sensationalism . . . The province of the bored.

 

The House voted today to release the Epstein files after democrats failed to do so under the Briben administration. President Trump has vowed to sign the order of release once it reaches his desk.

In the meantime, does anyone want to discuss the democrat Congresswoman who was texting Jeffrey Epstein LIVE at the time from her House committee hearing? Yes, she was texting Epstein requesting his input and recommendations LIVE.

 

Republicans move to force vote on removing House Dem from committee post over Epstein ties

A Democrat-led bid to kill the measure failed in a narrow 213 to 214 vote

November 18, 2025

Conservatives are targeting a member of the House Democratic Caucus over her alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., introduced a resolution to censure Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-V.I., the Virgin Islands' nonvoting delegate to the House of Representatives on Tuesday.

Newly released documents show that Plaskett exchanged texts with Epstein during a congressional hearing with Michael Cohen, a former associate of President Donald Trump, in February 2019.

Norman spoke on the House floor on Tuesday afternoon in a bid to force a vote on his bill via a mechanism called a privileged resolution.



House GOP leaders will be forced to put the bill on the floor within two legislative days, meaning it will likely be considered this week.

A Democrat-led motion to kill the bid by referring it to the House Ethics Committee failed in a narrow 213 to 214 vote this week.

Just two Republicans voted with all Democrats in that effort — Reps. Lance Gooden, R-Texas, and Dave Joyce, R-Ohio.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris, R-Md., foreshadowed the resolution in comments to reporters earlier on Tuesday.

"I think she needs to be censured by the House and removed from the [House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence] for colluding with a convicted felon during a congressional hearing. That does not reflect well on the House of Representatives," Harris said.

Republicans have seized on Plaskett's messages with Epstein as proof of a double standard by Democrats on the late pedophile financier's case.

House Democrats have been arguing for transparency in pushing to uncover any potential improper links between Trump and Epstein but have been largely silent on Plaskett in the days since her ties to him surfaced.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., dodged questions about Plaskett after his Monday news conference, telling reporters he had not spoken to her.

"I have not had a conversation with Stacey Plaskett. In fact, I think Stacey Plaskett has issued a statement as it relates to this and her statement speaks for itself," he said.

Texts exchanged during the 2019 hearing, in which Cohen accused Trump of a scheme to pay off mistresses to hide evidence of extramarital affairs during his 2016 presidential bid, show Epstein taking a heavy interest in Plaskett's questioning.

Epstein appeared to guide Plaskett's lines of questioning at times. One text showed him saying, "Hes opened the door to questions re who are the other henchmen at trump org."

Plaskett was shown to respond, "Yup. Very aware and waiting my turn."

The texts are part of a trove of documents sent to the House Oversight Committee by Epstein's estate.

Her office said in a statement to The Washington Post regarding the texts that she "received texts from staff, constituents and the public at large offering advice, support and in some cases partisan vitriol, including from Epstein."

"As a former prosecutor she welcomes information that helps her get at the truth and took on the GOP that was trying to bury the truth. The congresswoman has previously made clear her long record combating sexual assault and human trafficking, her disgust over Epstein’s deviant behavior and her support for his victims," Plaskett's office said.

Fox News Digital reached out to Plaskett for comment on Harris' threat.

Desperately trying to drag everyone into the mud, Trumpian politics' usual strategy. My initial reaction to Plaskett is that she should be censured. Then I read the actual messages and it's pretty innocuous.

It just goes to show how the ultra-rich have undue access to politicians no matter which side they're on. American oligarchy lives in despite his death.

 

So HER messages were innocuous, but anything that bears Trump's name is automatically evidence of wrongdoing? I see. Well, you'll be happy to know that this particular Epstein associate and confidante was NOT censured because all the democrats hypocrites (plus 3 Republicans) voted no on the censure.

 

Why'd the Republicans vote it down?

And no, her comments had nothing to do with pedophilia, unlike communications about Trump. If you can't see the difference there... I don't know what to tell you. Is it corrupt? Yes, but not equal at all. Sadly, because of the deeply entrenched oligarchical system we have, it's also legal.

 

Show me proof of pedophilia committed by Trump. I'll be waiting...

On the other hand, we have a delegate (Ms. Plaskett) taking directions from a known child molester in REAL TIME giving her the answers to questions being asked in a formal Congressional hearing. Yeah, no problem there, right? At least, most Republican Congress members think there's a problem with that and voted to censure her. But, all democrats hypocritical Congress members approve of the corruption of which you speak.

 

I'm seeing you didn't actually read the transcripts of the texts. They were quite unhelpful.

 

That's all ya got? :: y a w n ::

 

I not gonna try to talk about something with someone so triggered over things they haven't even bothered to read.

 

That interview was incredible. He's absolutely in love with Mamdani.



Watch the full thing if you can, it's only like 30 minutes.

https://www.youtube.com/live/fD9h8xI7RdI?si=pLvOfi-wGjb4_Ra0

 

I watched the whole thing. Madmani bowed before the King and kissed his ring because he doesn’t want NY to lose the $7.6 Billion annual payment from the fed. Gotta pay for those free bus rides somehow.

 

You're crazy. He gave up absolutely nothing, and stayed on message. Meanwhile, he got Trump talking up FDR and the New Deal, saying he'd be very comfortable living under Mamdani in NYC, going after energy corporations for not passing cost savings on to consumers, and defending him from some of the most loaded questions I've ever heard.

 

It's amazing how the media is falling down in disbelief that these two are not adversarial in the post meeting press conference.

I wouldn't say their views are anywhere near being in lockstep. They focused the press conference only on making NYC more affordable for its residents. They continually tried to give superficial answers to questions on other subjects . . . ostensibly to allow congenial cooperation on the sole purpose of today's meeting. Their differences will resurface shortly.

By the way, despite all the talk of making NYC more affordable, notably absent from the video was the affordability of taxes in New York . . . .

 

You're the one who is crazy if you don't see that Madmani only cozied up with Trump (the man whom he labeled a "fascist") in order to secure money (which he will desperately need) for NY. Even socialists/communists know that money doesn't grow on trees and he will desperately need those fascist, capitalist dollars if he has any hope of his communist dream for NYC coming even remotely true. Sure, Trump was nice to the communist, but he will also pull the rug out from under Madmani's feet if he starts with too much of the socialist/communist bullsh*t.

 

I didn't expect them to be outright adversarial, but I also didn't expect Trump to be so smitten.

On the stream I watched, I heard a reporter on a hot mic after they'd left the office remark "what is up with Trump today?" And I think that sums up how strangely he was acting.

Generally I agree, but it's not like the questions were all that substantive... so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
