The intrigue: The “Rule of Five” law allows any five members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to request federal agencies to provide information about “any matter within the jurisdiction of the committee.”

    Someone posted this up on here a couple of weeks ago. I’ll do my part to repost it:

    From reddit… https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/s/eBjDX0zt07

    https://joshwho.net/EpsteinList/gov.uscourts.nysd.447706.1320.0-combined.pdf (verified court documents)

    https://joshwho.net/EpsteinList/black-book-unredacted.pdf (verified pre-Bondi) Trump is on page 85, or pdf pg. 80

    Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

    https://cdn.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/Johnson/_TrumpEpstein/_Calif/_Lawsuit.pdf here’s a court doc of Epstein and Trump raping a 13 yr old together.

    Some people think this claim is a hoax. Here is Katies testimony on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnib-OORRRo

    It’s weird that the Senate had a special centuries old rule requiring everyone produce at least once piece of child pornography before a vote can continue, but I guess the 1830s was just a different time.

    What’s the plan if the files contain damming evidence against Trump? Will he be impeached? Will he be arrested like anybody else? Will there just be no consequences whatsoever? What is the protocol when the president is revealed to have committed heinous crimes? I want to know NOW!

      one possibility is people who have been ensconced in MAGA, entirely because they think every Democrat eats babies, will have their reality shattered by the completely obvious and well documented fact that Trump is a pedophile, and not even just A pedophile but THE pedophile, the final boss of 1990s human trafficking and serial rape.

        I don’t have much faith they’ll care. A big part of their ideology is hurting women and children. It’s already well known he’s a rapist, he’s said as much himself. They famously don’t care about truth. I think absolutely damning evidence will come out, and they’ll move forward without much fuss.

          This. They’ll scramble for a few days until Fox News gets the narrative ready for spoon-feeding, then calling him a pedophile will be dismissed as another facet of “orange man bad”.

        Hard to have your reality shattered when you weren’t living in reality to begin with.

        You’ve got a clutch of hooting, screaming podcaster apes who have been flogging Epstein as the Rosetta Stone of a dozen different conspiracy theories. They were supposed to dine out on Pam Bondi dripping “Breaking! New Epstein Things! Rosie O’Donald and Greta Thunberg definitely in the same state as Jeffrey during peak pedophilia era!”

        Instead, Trump just puts the kabosh on the whole thing, barely a month after Bondi teases a whole string of info dumps.

        If you can jangle a different set of keys in their faces, they’ll come back around. Trump’s just not willing to do that because he’s gone into his “bored of being President” phase.

      Well, if 20 Republicans crossed the aisle he could be removed from office. I think more likely is we’ll be seeing lots of GOP seats lost in the midterm elections.

      Well once it really gets proven he is a pedo, which we’re pretty close to, his own base will likely eat him alive and, I dunno, split off into factions?

      What will happen?

      Anywhere from nothing to full out civil war, pushed mostly by the crazies MAGA.

    Weird how they want it released now, but didn’t do shit about it under Biden…

    Almost like it’s all theatrics for them.

      The finance committee requested the files, got them, wrote up subpoenas based on those files and were blocked by republiQans.

      All under Biden. Still ready to go, just get the GQP to do anything at all.

      Too little was done out of fear Trump would capitalize on it.

      And look how that turned out.

          They’re saying that the Biden administration didn’t want to release the info and stir the pot. They were afraid that the fascists republicans would do something shitty in retaliation.

          Which of course, the GOP was always gonna do anyway, because they have always tried to get away with whatever they could. So now we get the fallout without the payoff of actually getting the files released

      It will never get released. The Democrats get to act like they want to release it while the Republicans are blocking it now. This is very bad theater.

        I can imagine it like a scene in a sitcom. They are both yanking on the documents in a tug of war in front of an audience of citizens. Only for someone to slip and the documents fly into the air and rain down on the citizens by accident, fucking them both over.

        We can only hope.

      Why would they release the files when it could put active investigations at risk? John Q Public doesn’t need to know who’s name is on the list if the justice department is doing it’s job properly. Now that it’s not we might as well know how trump prefers 14yo’s that look like his daughter.

    Fuck yes, man! We cannot let up here. Okay, call me looney, because I totally am and rather manic right now. I been digging into this shit. The “Epstein Sex Scandal” was a honeypot operation. Hear me out. So we can’t tell which fucking way is up, because we are under a multi-prong attack. The 2016 Russian interference investigation showed misinformation campaigning (i.e. psychological warfare). The DEA confirmed that fentanyl precursors are mostly Chinese. The Opium Wars clearly show that China knows a thing or two about narcotic warfare. I’ve spent a lot of time with theoretical physics - I even have a TOE formalized, and I’m working on my 1D relativistic simulator. I think it’s clear that certain sciences have been stunted, but I have no links for that. Maxwell’s father worked for several intelligence agencies, including the Mossad. The Sex trafficking originated in Soviet Russia as a child-run child-prostitution ring, in response to famine. Intelligence agencies link to the DARE program, amplifying the effect of narcotic warfare. Our “special relationship” with Israel is a perfect strategic position to fight the oil wars, beating up on Iran with protecting Jerusalem providing a cover story. Israel is buddies with everyone and all of these intelligence communities work together. Our pact with Israel is the heart of the war machine. Add the financial sector in with its private, debt-based currency, and you get a picture of the deep state war machine. But, look at motivation. Look at the nature of the Epstein honeypot. Could have been personal blackmail, threats to family, whatever to get leverage over these powerful people. But, no. They went for the desecration of the innocent on an industrial scale. We’re not hunting pedophiles. We are hunting the apocalypse cult, and we found their fucking temple.

      Dude, ease up on the narcotics my man.

      Yeah we found their temple. Their pedophile temple. Because they’re pedophiles. Yes evangelicals are often accelerationists, because they want Jesus to hurry up so they can get raptured or whatever.

      Things generally have simple explanations. No need to connect things that aren’t connected.
