as someone who pushes hard against conspiratorial thinking in my professional and political life, it is deeply irritating when, on top of the untold human harms Epstein caused, it turns out he was at the center of at least half a dozen actual conspiracies

The Tennessee Holler

@thetnholler.bsky.social

CNN’s @kaitlancollins.bsky.social : “What would you say to the Epstein survivors?”

TRUMP: “You are so bad… You are the worst reporter... I’ve never seen you smile.”

A terrible human. Makes so much sense that he and Epstein were tight.

(And the other reporters say nothing. Cowards, all.)

While vetting the Epstein files, the FBI created a list of prominent names mentioned in the documents—and they noted which people had "salacious information" about them in the records. Trump was on the "salacious" list. Bill Clinton was not.

This isn’t some anonymous tip. This is sworn testimony, under penalty of perjury, from someone who said Trump threatened to kill her if she exposed Epstein’s sexual abuse.

Bill Clinton testified under oath about Monica Lewinsky. He will now testify under oath about Epstein. There is no excuse for Donald Trump doing that too. Either you want to learn the truth about Epstein’s crimes & who else was involved or you don’t.

Democrats say Republicans set a new precedent with subpoenas, after Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"We are absolutely going to have Donald Trump testify under oath" if Democrats take back power, Rep. Ted Lieu says.

After Republicans push Clintons to testify on Epstein, Democrats warn they'll haul in Trump

Democrats say Republicans set a new precedent with subpoenas of an ex-president and first lady. "We will follow it ... Donald Trump, all of his kids. Everybody," Rep. Maxwell Frost said.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein.

There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.
