The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a trove of evidence regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation, against President Donald Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the Department of Justice. The 50-page report, released Monday, contains testimony from 11 women who either accuse Trump of…

    These people need justice.

    Holiday season coming up. Remember to let your traitorous family members know they willingly supported a felon rapist pedophile just to piss off half of their fellow Americans because they can’t peel their dipshit eyes off of propaganda networks.

    Never let them live this down. Or at least not for as long as we’ll all be paying for their stupid fucking decisions.

    That is the tip of the iceberg. Wait until we find out how compromised he is because of people who know this fact and is blackmailing him with it.

    Guess that explains why Comey was prosecuted today, probably to distract from this. Even without Comey I doubt the mainstream media that’s fallen inline with the Trump administration will be reporting about this unfortunately.

    There are rumors of skeletons buried in golf courses. Only 11?!?!?! If one is mentioned over 38,000 times, the number is much higher.

      Rumors? We now for a fact he buried his ex wife on his golf course to get a tax deduction for being a cemetery.

      No doubt he’s done more than that with skeletons.

    Time for a round of political ads to counter all those “<Dem candidate> wants TRANS in your kids locker room!” ads. “<Rep candidate> wants to protect your kids but they support Donald Trump who has at least 11 sexual assaults related to Jeffrey Epstein?”

    Dems have had access to this information before, and have it on others too and they haven’t brought charges when in power, so the powers that be can use the blackmail to keep people in line. Both sides not the same, but need to be best!


    Children were abused,

    The perps get away with it,

    Who’s really in charge?

      No, that’s pretty much bullshit. The Biden administration cooperated with Ron Wyden’s financial investigations into Epstein and his co-conspirators like billionaire Leon Black, and they also did not have the same access to the Epstein files that was granted after the Epstein Files Transparency Act was passed under the current regime. Ron Wyden’s investigation was aided by the Biden DOJ, and in January 2025 the Trump DOJ revoked all access to Wyden to impede his ongoing investigation.

    Donald was mentioned in the files more times than Jesus was mentioned in the Bible. Yeah, I’m not surprised that they managed to find testimony from 11 different women.

      That’s one thing, second things is that his name was 3rd most mentioned name in the released files after Maxwell and of course Epstein.

      He clearly wasn’t just a customer but part of the conspiracy. His whole modeling business was likely providing young girls to be exploited.

        The fbi had it titled the trump-epstein trafficking case at least twice in the files before the big wave of redaction post release.

      Trump is mentioned in the (released) Epstein files more times than Harry Potter was mentioned in all seven Harry Potter books.

      It’s unsatisfyingly ironic that the right is virtue signalling caring for children.

      Anytime they hey outraged in defence of something. Children, women’s sports, racism (when supposedly black people were constantly attacking Asian people over covid or people are mean to Israel), it’s never actually that they give a shit about what they so vakiantly defending. It’s just that they can use it as a tool to further shit on/stomp on a different group they already did, and want to more.

      And by pretending to care about group, or cause, X it gives them, at least in their eyes, a “get out of bigotry free” card.

          I don’t know if I buy it was all a honeypot. I expect at least one state actor got their hands on compromising materials, but it doesn’t seem planed out enough to be a honeypot the entire time

          It’ll be fascinating when the world can honestly review the facts to learn what all happened. Sad that can’t happen until Trump and everyone around him is long gone from power

            Epstein was the person running the honeypot. You don’t have cameras set up all around your mansion and private island and safe full of CDs and hard drives with labels like {name + “young” name} for a one off job. He also had 2 official passports from different countries and no source of income to become a billionaire. He was state sponsored. His girlfriends dad was an obvious mossad agent.

      The worst thing Biden ever did was refuse to push harder on Trump. He had four years to get one of the prosecutions (plural) settled, including the one where we have publicly released phone call recordings of Trump committing the crime. Yeah, the Georgia prosecutor fucked up, but they slow rolled it before the fuck up meaning there wasn’t time to recover from the fuck up.

      Biden also had four years to release the Epstein files, but he didn’t. Even if he knew the prosecutions would not have been successful and was playing a political game of “we’re doing this the right way and not doing a knee-jerk witch hunt,” releasing the files in their full would have gotten this ball rolling in a very different DOJ and FBI environment. It also would have given the public more time to see the connections.

      Making a Federalist Society member the Attorney General was a very bad idea.

      I want Jack Smith or Vanita Gupta to be the next AG.
