Democrats just dropped a heavy hammer on the president, eight days out from Election Day. House Judiciary Committee Democrats released a 50-page report Monday morning accusing Donald Trump of participating in Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal sex schemes. The caucus also accused the Trump administration of a broad cover-up, designed to shield the president from blowback as they tried to roll out the release of the Epstein files to the general public. The report cites the experiences of 11 women, FBI records, and d…

    History will look back at this timeline and teach the future generations that the war on Iran was started because the US president at the time was trying to distract people and cover up the Epstein files. History has unfolded as it did because of vanity of corrupt, pedophiles!

    Edit: wording

      we make the same mistake every generation does and that is: taking religious people seriously.

      I don’t know, do Dems have a 2/3 majority of both houses of Congress? Or are some GOP going to break ranks to get there? No? Then probably not.

          It’s a simple reality that impeaching Trump and removing him from office requires a 2/3 majority of both houses of Congress to vote for to achieve. Without that, the answer is no, he’s not going to be impeached and removed from office. Dems will likely stand in solidarity to push that through, but unless the midterms go in a wildly unlikely direction that’s not going to be enough to get the 2/3 of both houses, which means you are going to need GOP to break ranks, which is varying degrees of unlikely.

          Dems released this report now so it would be fresh in minds for the midterms, because that’s the most impact it’s likely to have while Trump is still in office and they are wildly unlikely to be able to get him out without GOP growing a spine and turning against MAGA (which they won’t do because it hurts their reelection odds).

    It’s definitely a good thing, but how bout the push for the release of more files. It’s against the law to keep them hidden… The dems can litterally get people obstructing the release locked up or fined… How bout they do that…?

      My experience of the US electorate makes me think doing it at a moment it doesn’t influence any outcome is pointless.

    Where were the Epstein files the 4 years Biden was president? Why weren’t they all released then? Or at the very least some of them? I won’t hold my breath on the Dems ever doing more than posturing about this. When they get back in power suddenly they’ll find an excuse not to release them all.

    Trumpets are not going to read it, or believe anything from it. They believe it’s all lies, like the ones they tell about people they don’t like.
