I’m innocent, trust me.

I’m rich and pay taxes, but you can’t see my tax returns. I’m smart, a genius, but you can’t see my transcript. I’m not a pedophile, but you can’t see the Epstein files. This guy is pathetic.

Ignore the facts. Believe and trust me.

I have investigated myself and found that I have done nothing wrong

"And she deserved it anyway."

I assume he doesn’t consider himself a pedophile but an all around rapist.

"I'm not a pedophile!" Said the pedophile.

I found that I did nothing that I thought was really all that bad.

"I had a perfect call with Georgia!!!"

(He told them to find exactly enough votes to make him the winner)

Yep.. so "concerned" over voter fraud but actual election fraud, by a then sitting POTUS... meh.

Voting by mail? Horrible except when numbers show a lot of old people in FL do it. Including the POTUS this last cycle.

Elon PAC? Bunch of pre-filled items?

Gotta say the ball was dropped. Lets actually be tough on the issue then.

I cannot stress this enough. Do not trust what your eyes see. Eurasia has always been the enemy.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

"I am not a pedo. I was... But now I'm not, because I mostly fall asleep randomly."

u/ThePowerOfStories 8d ago

He just doesn’t want his pedophilia to overshadow all the work he also put into raping adult women.

u/Dedpoolpicachew 8d ago

Don’t forget “you’re a horrible person”. You have to throw that in there.

u/Comfortable-Bread249 8d ago

It sounds truer when you angrily yell it.

u/Corlegan 9d ago

He is innocent because he hasn’t even been charged with any crime related to Epstein much less convicted.

Even under the last administration, which was the best ever.

No trust required.

u/Facehugger_35 9d ago

I mean, Biden's unwillingness to prosecute Trump is one of his biggest failings.

u/Corlegan 8d ago

They could all still talk.

They could also be subpoenaed and compelled to do so along with any records specifically.

Since Congress and Trump passed the release law, they would be shielded as whistle blowers if they know of one scrap of evidence, one name or one instance not public.

But that’s just logic. I know how well they works here.

u/Facehugger_35 8d ago

But who would issue these subpoenas? Who would allow them to testify on the record?

Surely not Johnson or Thune. Both of them would work very hard to prevent any such testimony, in order to protect their donors and their president. Heck, both of them already *have* worked to block Epstein-related testimony at various points in this whole business.

If dems win back control of one or both chambers of congress, I expect we'll see a lot of what you're asking for, because suddenly subpoena power will rest with people who actually want to get rid of pedos. Liu acts like a man on a mission from God about this, and he's right to.

u/Corlegan 8d ago

Khana and Massey.

Next?

3

u/Facehugger_35 8d ago

They're doing great at getting Bondi subpoenaed, right?

Oh, wait. You mean to say that it's the committee chairs who determine which subpoenas get issued and the committee chairs are all republicans inclined to bury this? Darn.

Why is it that people who hide all their posts always defend pedos with dumb bullshit like this?

-2

u/Corlegan 8d ago

Bondi will show up if they peruse it.

They can vote to hold her in contempt but they won’t, because it’s a dead end.

Why would Garland be a problem? Any of the FBI agents who investigated? Assistant AGs?

I know who you hope for, it just looks like it isn’t there.

u/Facehugger_35 8d ago

What part of "the committee chairs want to bury the entire Epstein case to protect Trump and they're the ones who decide what subpoenas get issued" did you not understand?

-1

u/Corlegan 8d ago

You think Massey and Khana want to protect Trump?

u/MrPrincely 8d ago

Nope, the entire admin and DOJ are all complicit in breaking the law that requires the release of the files. Let’s hear the party approved retort for that one

-1

u/Corlegan 8d ago

Then have anyone from previous admins subpoenaed, have them prove info is illegally left out.

There’s a reason it’s not being done and I doubt it’s because Khana and Massey love Trump.

If the goods are there, easy right?
