Thanks for the link. From O’Donnell’s The Last Word: GIUFFRE FAMILY STATEMENT ON PRINCE ANDREW LOSING HIS TITLE OF "PRINCE" “Today, she declares victory. We, her family, along with her survivor sisters, continue Virginia's battle and will not rest until the same accountability applies to all of the abusers and abettors connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell." EPSTEIN-MAXWELL SURVIVORS URGE SPEAKER JOHNSON TO SWEAR-IN REP-ELECT GRIJALVA "The continued refusal to seat her is an unacceptable breach of democratic norms and a disservice to the American people. Even more concerning to us as survivors, this delay appears to be a deliberate attempt to block her participation in the discharge petition that would force a vote to unseal the Epstein/Maxwell files. The American public has a right to transparency and accountability and we, as survivors, deserve justice. Any attempt to obstruct a vote on this matter—by manipulating House procedure or denying elected members their seats— is a direct affront to that right and adds insult to our trauma. Speaker Johnson must stop using procedural tactics to protect the powerful and instead uphold the integrity of our democratic institutions. Our trauma is not a pawn in your political games. Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak." |
| I am not a conspiracy theorist but there is so much here. Why have multiple people involved committed suicide? Why hasn’t our govt charged anyone else other than Einstein and Maxwell? Trafficking takes to parties. There is someone on the other side of that SARS report! |
"committed suicide" |
If it's true that Israel is involved then Epstein, Giuffere, and the French man were murdered. I wonder how much this scares trump. |
| Bump |
This book should be required reading by EVERY MEMBER OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE!!! I hope there is an investigation proving if she really committed suicide. |
95% of Congress men and women care way more about protecting their mega-donor network who have close ties to people implicated in the Epstein files than they do this girl's sad story. |
Nearly half the House has voted to release the files. |
In many cases you'll see politicians support something they know won't pass in order to remain on the right side of the issue in the eyes of their constituents without passing something their puppet masters don't want. This is a strategic advantage those in the minority party typically have. |
If you have some evidence that all the members of Congress who’ve come out in support of releasing the files, please share it. Otherwise, your argument that “everyone in Congress is corrupt on this issue” is a) baseless, and b) seems like the type of low-effort propaganda designed to disengage voters from the political process. |
The 95% figure was an exaggeration on this particular issue. There is some layer of moral existence remaining in most members of Congress and this issue tugs at that moral existence. Otherwise, the fact that all but a handful of our Congress men and women are subject to undue influence from mega-donors is well known by both political insiders and outsiders. If you think claims of widespread corruption in Congress are "baseless", you're either a complete and utter idiot or you have some financial stake in the game such as being one of the sleazy RNC or DNC operatives. Or perhaps you could be one of the corrupt politicians or mega donating entities attempting to blow smoke in mirrors. You're fooling no one!! |
“Everyone is corrupt! It’s all hopeless! Let’s not do anything!” |
Slow your roll, Ricky. "Everyone" is not corrupt. There are a handful of Congress men and women who continue to cling to their integrity. Not doing anything is never the solution a huge problem! The influence of money in politics is obviously that huge, long term problem we're dealing with. Expecting the same politicians corrupted by money to make legislative changes to campaign finance laws is wishful thinking. We must somehow force complete reform/overhaul of our two major parties or since they are private entities that can fail, our conservative and progressive electoral bases need to coalesce behind new parties with functional leadership. There may be other routes to a solution. I'm all ears. This won't be an easy fix but it's a necessary fix or else our democracy as we know it is headed to a very warm place in hand basket. |
Her brother doesn’t believe she committed suicide. Interesting enough, you never hear anything from her husband about her death. Epstein’s brother also does not believe Epstein committed suicide |
