The former administration had access to these files and presumably dozens of people reviewed them, yet not one peep about anything… (and I can’t stand Trump)

Because ironically the DOJ wasn’t politicized previously. People did not leak for fear of losing their jobs. Also Trump is super litigious and always has been. Also our society really doesn’t care about sex crimes against women. Look at how people have commented on the E Jean Carroll case. Society sh*ts on women/girls who are abused because somehow they think they asked for it.

You would think Comey's daughter who set on these files for 4 years cares? Why did she sh** on women and girls by not prosecuting Trump?

I don’t know, I guess that we will find out more when the full files are released. The important part is that you found a way to blame a woman for your heroes molesting children.

Will they be released? With the 218 signatures on the discharge, the House has to vote. Then the Senate will have to vote and my understanding is it is unlikely to make it through the Senate, is that correct?

It is worse than that.

Trump would have to sign it into law.

Look at how hard he is trying to avoid being the one to squash it.

One could hope that when the votes come, the House and Senate have enough to override a veto. Now getting the AG to actually release the documents is another hurdle.

No one thinks the law will pass and take effect. The point of the discharge petition was to force a public vote on who in Congress defends sex trafficking of minors.

Forcing Trump to veto it will be legacy-defining. Of everything he's done, this will be one of the historical standout moments given his involvement with Epstein. And it will be the ultimate betrayal of his promises to MAGA.

These emails have just come out from the Epstein estate, stupid. No politician was sitting on them. They were released immediately. The DOJ has been sitting on the rest of it, but those legally cannot be released unless Congress votes for it and Trump signs the order.

And probably some from Maxwell’s team

I know those are the rumors, but there is no evidence of that. Let's try to stick with what's known. Frankly, nothing that came out is to Maxwell's benefit. It's just more evidence that she's guilty and the more comes out, the less reason Trump has to be nice to her.

+1 I usually believe Julie Brown about all of this and I know this is her speculation, but some of what came out indicates Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche so it doesn’t look great for her.

Maxwell should be seriously worried about getting “suicided”

Since she is still alive, I'd guess that she has some sort of backup plan in place. Like in case she dies, what information she has, gets released to the public (by her lawyer, friend, someone anonymous, presumably).

As should Andrew. Which is why it is thought he is being whisked away to Sandringham, which is private property.

They seem not to have noticed that many, actual girls were *victims* of all this.

There is a difference between 8 yr olds and 15 yr olds.

8 yr olds have neither developed bodies nor developed brains.

15 yr olds have developed bodies but *not* developed brains. This inconsistency creates a lot of risks, which is why the law still protects these teenagers!

Despite being an adult, Megyn Kelly has a developed body but not yet a developed brain.

Any grown man remotely interested in a 15 year old, is a massive red flag in sickness.

17 and 15? ok. 35 and 15? You're a pedophile, pervert, and incredibly sick.

I’m very liberal and I loathe Trump.

I’m also a former child sex crimes prosecutor with a mountain of training and experience in the field of endeavor. I think human trafficking is a scourge and we should root out everyone who assisted Epstein and who participated in the exploitation of these teenaged girls.

But I feel compelled to point out that not even 100 years ago, so within the last 2-3 generations, it was the societal norm for men in their late 20s and early 30s to marry teenaged girls. The men had established themselves sufficient to support a family and the girls were sexually mature and ready to be a wife/mother.

Obviously I’m not suggesting teenaged girls should be encouraged to marry and start families at that age, but some still do and if you are outraged you might want to recognize that ‘child’ marriage is still very much legal in many states in the USA, where ages of consent are 16 or 17 and girls and boys can marry even younger than that with parental consent or judicial approval. If this makes you angry, do something about it.

And to clarify a point, while To Catch a Predator made every American an expert on pedophilia, the fact is that pedophilia is a very specific paraphilia that involves a primary sexual attraction to very young children, from infancy through grade school ages. Hebephilia is primary attraction to prepubescent children 11-14.

Ephebophilia is primary attraction to sexually mature children age 14-19, and is not considered a disorder or sickness at all.

Are the millions of young and adult men - and even girls and women - who were sexually attracted to teenaged Britney Spears in her erotic music videos sick and disgusting? No, they were not. They were normal primates of the Homo sapiens variety.

Is it creepy for men and women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond to primarily be attracted to teenaged bodies? Personally I think so, but I’m a sapiosexual who is attracted primarily to intelligence and secondarily to physical characteristics. I can certainly see a beautiful young sexual mature body and see the appeal. And I know it’s not sickness for other adults to feel the same.

What’s grossest to me about the Epstein scandal is that young vulnerable girls were groomed and used by adult men and women (at least one) as though they were mere objects, then cast aside.

I don’t know that I’m prepared to suggest that Celine Dion’s late husband was a sick pervert.

There IS a difference.

I feel compelled to point out that 160 years ago slavery existed in the US. And 50 years ago, women could not open a credit card. And 105 years ago, the 19th amendment passed. Thankfully we have evolved.

I don’t know what the point is in lecturing posters on the specific terms associated with paraphilia. And as someone who also worked on child exploitation and obscenity cases for years (including cases involving 15-16 year olds), I find this post very odd.

Trial balloons to see what works. Republicans are focus grouping in real time.

Not one reedemable soul in the WH situation room meeting with Trump game planning a response to the release.

The sit room meets were to pressure Boebert and Mace, separately, into withdrawing their signatures on the 218 discharge petition so a vote could be averted. Those must have been horrendously high pressure meetings for these women. They bravely stood their ground. I don't agree with them on anything else, BTW.

They have earned my respect in this.

and MTG has surprised me, as well
