This evening, as the world learns with horror and shock that registered recidivist sexual predator multi-millionaire Jeffrey Epstein was given a sweetheart deal down in Florida eleven years ago, by a Bush/Cheney guy… who is NOW TRUMP’S Secretary of Labor — and that the guy violated the law to give out that deal… and that Donald Trump himself has repeatedly praised Epstein, and Trump himself had noted [with a glowing comparative self-reference invoking Epstein — that they were alike] highlighting Trump’s own proclivity for pretty younger women… and he was until fairly recently a welcome member of Mar-A-Lago, until caught harrassing young girls there — and it turns out Epstein still had, as he was arrested, collections of child porn, in a safe in Manhattan, as a registered sex offender [a big “no no“, under his earlier deal] — and possessed a cache of DVDs / CDs — with people’s names on them [Cough… Trump? Clinton? Dershowitz?] PLUS the names of underage girls… which the AUSAs are still reviewing…. as Epstein sits in MCC; next bond hearing on Thursday… [WTF? There can be no bond high enough: he has three private jets… and millions, and houses all over the globe. No bracelet will hold him down, in Manhattan or Florida…]
…It is on this evening, that John Hinderaker decides to say the Steele Dossier is the raging priority of public corruption accountability we all need to focus upon… EXCLUSIVELY. Not a peep, anywhere on PowerLie, on any of these above events of the day. Not. A. Peep.
John breathlessly says some in DoJ are cooperating with that Barr inquiry, which may be at worst mildly embarrassing for some Democrats.
But right now, Trump has a Secretary of Labor — in Acosta, who clearly ought to be disbarred. And probably… jailed. He has a Secretary of Commerce who told racist lies to Congress, and swore the same lies, before the federal courts [on the citizenship question for the 2020 Census, now defeated].
He has an AG [in Barr] openly threatening to defy a US Supreme Court order, to bless Trump using an executive order to add the unlawful census question to the forms being printed… “because he [Barr] sez so.” Again, there disbarment… lies.
And over it all — dozens of very young girls were victimized — and then victimized again, by the cover-up / hiding of this whole affair. Does / did Epstein have blackmail CDs on both Trump and Acosta [and Dersh]?
We may soon know. And if he has one on Bill Clinton — without exception… all of them shall and should… go to jail. That’s how we Democrats differ from the presently fashioned Republicans of the day. Accountability.
Sure, if John can explain why the investigation predated the Steele dossier, by several months, I will listen. But the uncontroverted evidence makes it clear there were multiple FISA warrants BEFORE the dossier was known to exist.
That sort of holes John’s little sailboat… below the water line.
