Release the Trumpstein files already.

[-] Sxan@piefed.zip 18 points 3 weeks ago

Didn't you hear? Trump already said someone "inserted" his name into þe files, to frame him. So he's completely innocent! He said so, so it must be true.

Good, fuck those pedophiles. But one name is clearly missing...

[-] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Many names more than likely

OK, now do the same for Donald Trump!

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 21 points 3 weeks ago

Cool, subpoena Trump and his accomplices too.

In addition to the Clintons, the committee sent subpoenas to former attorneys general Jeff Sessions, Alberto Gonzales and William Barr, who served in George W Bush and Trump’s presidencies, and Merrick Garland, Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder, who served under Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller also received subpoenas.

Well we already know how this is going to go...

Bill, Hillary, Comey, Garland, Lynch, Holder, Muller:

"So we have some questions for you: Why are you so guilty? Why aren't you already in jail? Why shouldn't we throw you in prison right now?"

Barr, Gonzalez, Sessions:

"Ok friends, we just need a little "testimony" from you that you know 100% without a doubt that there is a mountain of evidence against Bill, Hillary, Comey, Garland, Lynch, Holder, and Muller. Oh, these are all Trump's enemies? Ahhh that's just a coincidence."

This will probably go nowhere as they can't just put "one side" in jail. Pedophiles protect other pedophiles because if one flips they all go down. Mutually assured destruction, they all have evidence against each other.

I would put nothing past this administration to be honest. The Clinton's and whoever can try to throw others under the bus and I'm fairly sure they'll just have that testimony "classified" or redacted and ignore it.

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 12 points 3 weeks ago

Im sure the questions will be as on point as they were for whitewater.

“That depends on what the definition of ‘is’ is.“

[-] DrFistington@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

I mean, sure, they can tell us that they saw Trump and Epstein together with underage girls all the time, or they could just release the full unredacted files

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

This may backfire. Imagine the damning testimony that may come out. They can hardly order them to only speak about liberals.

The administration would be better off continuing to flood the zone with shit rather than keep Epstein on the front page.
