Sir, I just want to thank you sir for protecting pedophiles and taking away my health insurance SIR 
I love this site so much
I haven't been religious in two decades but now I'm praying daily that the Epstein files lead to the balkanization of the US
Kinda surprising honestly, you'd figure knowing their base that some nobody GOP congress ghouls would be wary of one of their 
constituents 
voicing their displeasure at them because of this like the brain melted Q dude that whacked that mob boss years ago
That dude is way more likely to shoot up a school or blame immigrants for this and they know it, they caused that guy to think that way.
211 seems like a low-ball for pedos in congress.
Libs knew they wouldn't need to vote against
the fuck even are the Epstein files. Is it just the report with victims names (hopefully) redacted? Because as soon as people get that they'll want the unredacted version
When they raided Epstein's properties they removed tonnes and tones of computers, storage media, notebooks etc. There are some famous photos (video?) From a raid where there were stacks of CD binders with spines labeled like "[man name] + [victim name]" which are speculated to be full of comprimat about [man name] in the form of CSAM.
Of course something like this couldn't be released as Pam Bondi points out because you can't just release a bunch if CSAM no matter what you think of [man name].
And also other documents which have presumably been accumulated in the process of whatever fake ass investigations have been conducted.
You could at least release all the [man name]s after confirming the content on the CDs privately, right?
I mean I dont know that the state should be making assertions like that without doing anything about it..
the government can't just go around making public, widely discussed announcements that they had extensive video evidence of specific individuals committing some heinous crimes. They don't have any chance to dispute it or to argue innocence. Which, as guilty as we may think people may be based on their class affiliation, they should still not be declared socially guilty by fiat, especially by Donald trumps wacky band of misfits.
If the state has evidence of crimes then they should charge or something. (From the perspective of the current system of government.) Not spread gossip, which is essentially what theyd be doing.
End of the day, there was never any possibility of the kind of pedo purge of government people are hoping for. So they've got themselves into quite a pickle by constantly banging the drum that theyd do it.
Have a trial, let the jury view the material.
I'm not sure if anyone is even talking about that. I just see "transparency". But it's not like I spend a lot of time following the Discourse.
You’d need a jury comfortable with watching CSAM and we have a word for people like that.

oh yea totally, a jury has never had to deal with a CSAM involved case ever before. this would be the first one ever.
That's like saying forensic pathologists must all get off on mutilated corpses. The jury selection would be restricted by them needing to view such material, but there are still people who would be willing to for the sake of getting a just conviction. I'm not sure if this is obvious to you, but there are people whose jobs it is to investigate things like this as it is, and I don't think it's reasonable to assume that most of them are just pedos.
I’m mostly saying it in jest, my apologies.
soo... in your opinion anyone involved or interested in punishing or otherwise bringing to account perpetrators of CSA is by definition a pedophile themselves?
wacky
They presumably contain blackmail information about the people who paid for Epstein's services
They wouldn't care to cover it up if it were just the victims
BTW I found a few images of some of the files that people want released. It's hard to believe much of anything here could ever be ethically released by any government because it's all likely products of sexual abuse. I doubt it cold be redacted in any way.
But it also shows that there is likely a great deal of evidence pointing to the crimes of others, which has plainly gone uninvestigated.

lol more more more. let them stand firmly, spears planted in the ground. not one more step, don't break formation! we must protect our glorious pedo rulers!
T minus how many days until opinion pieces begin to pop up to redefine what pedophilia even is
and if this is all being done to protect Israel/Mossad's op, lol, of course it would be
we're going to have to learn 17 more words like "epheberphile" from specific ghouls deflecting
And they’ll tell us it’s just like LGBTQ+, you watch.
Remember, Biden could have released the files but didn't. This is all Washington Kabuki, while those who suffered at the hands of Epstein and his client list are denied any justice.
Surely this is political suicide for almost every single one, right?
lol
You'd think the Qanon freaks would start doing 𝓼𝓲𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰𝓼, but of course they're just paedophiles and general child abusers who think they can cloak their crimes by projecting. Hopefully that's another reason for their families to abandon them.
211 of how many?
It’s 211 too many, but I don’t know the exact number and I’m curious.
It's a shitty SEO article title to get clicks and pageviews.
Nine Republicans abstained from the vote. [...] House Republicans on Tuesday blocked a Democratic attempt to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files, with zero Republicans supporting the measure. The final vote was 211 to 210. One Republican with a spine would have tipped the scale and given the American people greater transparency on the Epstein saga.
Also two Dems did not vote, so both parties could have tipped the scales and chose not to. Also it was attached to a crypto bill.
At this point I'm wondering if they get together to discuss this stuff ahead of time, treat it like a wrestling match for the public or something.
Nah, all of those other nine were on deck if they were needed.
435 total representatives, so not a majority.
220 are Republicans currently, so almost all of them voted to protect pedos
That’s brilliant. Thank you.
When you are the most loser ass political party of all time you can afford to table ideas like this one which if successful would be just as bad for you as for your opponent, the second most loser ass party of all time.
It is such an admission of their subservient status. They know they will lose.
Whelp, we tried. Nothing we can do now. Guess we'd better just accept that these files will never see the light of day and there's nothing we can do about it because that's just what democracy is honey.
and I assume like 200 dems as well yes?
it was 211 to 210. So no.
I'm actually legitimately shocked
yea but how would they vote if they had power and their party's president was on that list? ehhhh Maybe it would get some democrats to vote with the GOP and help this vote pass, maybe it wouldnt.
